Earlier in the week I finished The Lost Island by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It was a wild and crazy adventure, not for everyone but I enjoyed it. Since finishing The Lost Island I have been reading Lighthouse Island by Paulette Jiles. Lighthouse Island is a dystopian novel—very unusual.

Mrs. Enthusiast read The Codex by Douglas Preston. She gives The Codex a two thumbs up. Then she read Thirty-Three Teeth by Colin Cotterill which she liked very much. She has yet to decide on a new book for this week.
