Listened to Pat Barker’s book Border Crossing, 2002, and thought it was perceptive. Someone wrote that they thought it was her best non-Ghost-Road book and I agree. I haven’t thought her books, other than that great triology, have been so good but this one tackles a child killer and the people around him and is very good. Interesting book.

Reading the The Room by Emma Donoghue, 2010, and it has been hard to make myself read it. It’s hard to read about someone in such an abused and cloisted situation. Her kid perspective is great though. I will keep reading.

Really like What Was Lost by Catherine O’Flynn, 2008. Switching between 1984 and 2003, about a little girl who goes missing after starting up her own detective agency. It’s set mostly in a huge mall, with very believable characters you want to get to know.
