amazing library.

I finished Jamie Ford's book, Love and Other Consolation Prizes which, sad to say, was boring, esp. since I liked his other books.

Just started reading Charles Frazier's book, The Trackers and it seems like this one will really hold my interest.

From amazon:

Hurtling past the downtrodden communities of Depression-era America, painter Val Welch travels westward to the rural town of Dawes, Wyoming. Through a stroke of luck, he’s landed a New Deal assignment to create a mural representing the region for their new Post Office.

A wealthy art lover named John Long and his wife Eve have agreed to host Val at their sprawling ranch. Rumors and intrigue surround the couple: Eve left behind an itinerant life riding the rails and singing in a western swing band. Long holds shady political aspirations, but was once a WWI sniper—and his right hand is a mysterious elder cowboy, a vestige of the violent old west. Val quickly finds himself entranced by their lives.


Happy Sunday!!
