After the disappointment with The Hypnotist and the reassurance that the author is better than that example, I thought I'd give her another shot. I downloaded the audio of The Chaperone and listened to it over the long weekend while I gardened and cleaned. The story was interesting about a woman who was on the Orphan Train. But it couldn't decide which storyline to follow or when to end, so not a great listen. It wasn't until I started writing this that I realized that I read Laura Moriarty instead of Liane. So, no redemption for poor Liane.
I'm listening to Amy and Isabel by Elizabeth Stroudt. Her characters are so compelling. Had me weeding the lawn after my flower beds were done because I didn't want to stop listening.
Also still working on the book about reading digitally. Food for thought: with the invention of indexes came the invention of alphabetical order. I can't imagine the alphabet in any other order. Blows my mind to think about it. I'll research more and let you know what I find out.
Deb.
