Reblog: My review of Brain Trust

Just posted my review of Brain Trust over at book-blog.com:

Brain Trust is the new stand-alone thriller by authors Lynn Sholes and Joe Moore, and I think it may be my favorite of theirs to date. The book tells the related stories of two characters. Maggie Hayden is the widowed mother of a math prodigy who's been having problems at school since his father's death.

What I'm Watching

• So, I watched Sex Lies and Videotape. After hearing the title for so many  years I thought the movie surprisingly uninteresting. But maybe it was shocking in its day. What's really disturbing, though, is the picture of Andie MacDowell on the movie cover, because it looks like it's going to be a story about a psychotic killer drag queen (hello, Dressed to Kill).
• The Following. I'm enjoying this Kevin Bacon series, though I don't like watching it alone in the house at night on the treadmill with earbuds in for some reason. 

What I'm Reading

• I'm working my way through David Richardson, Esperanto: Learning and Using the International Language.
• I finished, but need to write a review of Brain Trust, by Lynn Sholes and Joe Moore.

 

Media in the Mail: Brain Trust

Lynn Sholes and Joe Moore sent me a copy of their newest thriller, Brain Trust. I can always count on them for a good page turner.
