What are you reading this week of October 18, 2015? [View all]

I read the first chapter of Outlander but then it was my turn at the library to get Dry Bones, the 12th book of the Longmire series by Craig Johnson. I do so enjoy this series. There is humor, pathos, mysticism, intrigue, and great descriptions of the wilderness in Montana and Wyoming. Plus, this one's got dinosaurs! Good story.

I did once watch the DVD of the Longmire series that's on TV but I didn't much care for it. Vic looks nothing at all like she's described in the books. And instead of following the books, the TV show mixes up plots and events. Very offputting, for me anyway.

What is your pleasure, or not, this week?
