Robin Reads: Metro Girl, The Rule of Four, and The Bronte Project

Well, out of these, I didn't really like any of them. ;) Two novels about literature, two thrillers/mysteries.Let's start with The Rule of Four.The Rule of Four: Ian Caldwell, Dustin Thomason (FICTION):Lurching novel (literary thriller) about a renaissance era book which is supposedly impossible to deciper and filled with clues. Kind of like a renaissance Finnegans Wake? I'm not sure as I don't know alot about renaissance lit (my speciality was gothic/romantic). Touted as a thinking person's The DaVinci Code. I really wanted to like this but I barely finished it.

Robin Reads: Dewey Decimated, Voodoo Season

Voodoo Season : A Marie Laveau Mystery by Jewell Parker Rhodes (FICTION) If you like historical or gothic inspired mysteries/crime thrillers, this might be an interesting read. It's inspired by Marie Laveau a real life historical figure from New Orleans, and "Voodoo Queen." Set in modern day (pre Katrina) New Orleans, this book weaves mystery, history, and a story of both making peace with the past and finding oneself into a contemporary crime thriller....and it even has zombies! I enjoyed this immensely.
