Part of the reason I haven't posted very much lately....



These are some of the reasons I haven't been posting many reviews lately.  I can either knit or read in my spare time, and apart from late night reading on my phone's Kindle app, and a bit of more devotional or personal study,  of late I've been in a knitting season and not a reading season.  And I'm not even all that good or speedy with the knitting!  My husband's birthday was Nov 17, and I'm still working on his socks, but then there are new babies coming along to knit for too, as well as ones already here.... But I love it. 

The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri

Just a brief comment or two -
I enjoyed this Inspector Montalbano story very much.  It is the second book I've read in the Montalbano series, but the first in the series.   I read both in Italian, so I can't speak for how they read in English, but I'm sure they will both be enjoyable. 

One thing I prefer about the books over the made-for-tv movies is that although they are definitely for adults, in their themes, language and certain scenes, generally I have found them a bit "cleaner" with few scenes I need to skip over.   (So far, with only two books under my belt.)

Mysteries/crime is a favorite genre for me, and Inspector Montalbano is one of my favorite protagonists, second only to Miss Marple!
