This week I got The Brutal Telling, by Louise Penny.

I got The Brutal Telling too. In fact, I got two, for some bizarre reason!
I have not read this Fyodor Dostoyevsky work. My attempt at reading Brothers Karamazov failed, but I enjoyed Crime & Punishment.
I received The Brutal Telling too! But only 1 copy! I'm going to try to start it this week.
I haven't read that Dostoyevsky. I look forward to hearing how you like it. I imagine it will be a good, challenging and interesting read as all of his books are.
So sad about Frank McCourt but it sounds like he suffered long enough.
Oh they both sound interesting, I hope you enjoy reading them! :)
I hope you enjoy your new books!! I was sad to hear about Frank McCourt's passing too.
I hadn't heard about Frank McCourt. How sad but thanks for letting us know.
I loved Angela's Ashes, RIP Frank McCourt!
I hope I get A Brutal Telling!
I saw the Brutal Telling on Shelf Awareness but didn't request it. I wasn't sure it was for me. I look forward to hearing what you think of it when you get to it. Yes, very sad about Frank McCourt. Remember when we read Angela's Ashes? That was such a good book.
You got some interesting books. My Mailbox post is here.
So sad about McCourt. He was a very gifted story-teller.

I am currently reading Angela's Ashes. I started while he was sick.... I think it made me feel closer to him as he went through his final days.
An amazing author.
