Governments, hospitals, and industry use computerized industrial control systems to remotely monitor and control elevators, electricity, alarms, surveillance systems, and more. It's convenient and efficient. And potentially deadly. Assistant U.S. Attorney Aroostine Higgins put her personal life on hold to join the Department of Justice's elite Criminal Division. Now she's prosecuting two men accused of attempting to bribe a foreign government official. But everything's going wrong. Her pretrial motion vanishes from the federal court's electronic docketing system. Her apartment catches fire. Routine dental surgery turns into a near-death experience. When Aroostine's past comes crashing into her present, her most critical vulnerability is exploited and she finally admits she isn't simply suffering a string of bad luck. An unseen enemy is determined to destroy her--and the only man she's ever loved--unless she finds him first.
Night Film by Marisha Pessi:
I had seen a lot of praise for this book but didn't decide to read it until I saw it available in ebook to borrow from my library. I read the description once I saw it and was immediately interested in it. I did try to look at some reviews and it seemed like either people loved it or they hated it.
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien:
I read The Fellowship of the Ring a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it, so I am looking forward to reading the next volume.
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr:
This is another book I requested from NetGalley. I cannot tell you how excited I am to read this. So instead of me rambling on, here is the book description:
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie- Laure’s converge.
Myths of the Norsemen by H.A. Guerber:
So recently I've become interested in Vikings, the Viking Age, and Norse mythology. I came across this book on Project Gutenberg and thought it looked like a great tool to learn more about Norse mythology.
