Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

Enjoyed the intrigue in this one. I think it will stand up well to a re-read. The book has several self-contained sections; it almost reads like a group of short books rather than one long book. And of course it's been left open for its sequel, but there's enough closure that it makes a satisfying read in and of itself.

Peace Like A River by Leif Enger.

I read this for my book club, and as part of the "If All of Rochester Read the Same Book" for this year. Quite enjoyed the book and its prose, although I felt the ending didn't live up to the strength of the earlier portion of the book.

Mixed reviews in the book group. Some didn't like it at all.

Recommended.
