Finished Reading “Undone” and I’m In Savannah

Hot, hot, hot. That’s what it is in Savannah. If I didn’t have to go out to eat, I’d just stay in the hotel, with the convention. But since I’m taking readers OUT to eat tonight and tomorrow that’s not gonna happen. Just need to make sure I stay hydrated, because even a quarter-mile walk can be taxing.

I’m in Savannah for LLS2023 (Literary Love Savannah), a book convention that runs from Thursday (actually, Wednesday evening for some) to Sunday morning (raffle basket time). It’s a lot of fun and the readers can really get to know the authors, if they want. We do try to pamper them!

I don’t know if I’ll come back next year, though. I really don’t see the sense if I haven’t finished Ghostly Protector. Can’t make money if I don’t have any new stuff, right? But Hubby loves coming here every year with me (didn’t make it last year due to my surgeries). He always finds something new to do.

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Book 37

Dates read: July 12-19, 2023
Title: Undone
Year of publication: 2009
Author: Karin Slaughter
Genre: Crime Fiction/Suspense
Series: Will Trent #3
# of Pages: 504
Paper or plastic: Mass market paperback
How obtained: Purchased
Blurb from Book: In the trauma center of Atlanta’s busiest hospital, Sara Linton treats the city’s poor, wounded, and unlucky—and finds refuge from the tragedy that rocked her life in rural Grant County. But when a tortured young woman becomes a patient in her ER, Sara finds herself thrust into a desperate police investigation, coming face-to-face with Special Agent Will Trent and his partner, Faith Mitchell.
    In this suspense masterpiece, Karin Slaughter weaves together the moving, powerful human stories of three unforgettable characters from her New York Times bestselling novels
Faithless and Fractured, who collide for the first time in an electrifying race against the clock—and a duel with unspeakable human evil. For Sara, Will, and Faith—each wounded, each carrying dire secrets—are all that stand between a madman and his next victim.
My thoughts: I didn’t realize Sara Linton had her own series (like I read the blurb—not—when I’m committed to reading the series), but you don’t need to have read them to read this. I’m at the part in the book series where I realize the TV version is completely different, but I don’t care. These are still great reads and I’ll keep at it (because I already own the books!).

Lots of construction is going on around the hotel. Savannah is growing. The riverwalk has expanded to go past our hotel to new condos being built. I guess new businesses will also appear once the condos are finished (don’t they usually?).

Have you ever visited Savannah? It’s a neat city, with lots of history.

Happy Reading!

You can always make it a vacation time as well as book work.
And yes, the South is brutal right now!

Alex - I sometimes think my life has become a vacation. I'm practically retired now!
