by Ryka Aoki . It is particularly enjoyable if you know the Asian communities in the greater LA area and or if you know a bit already about violins and violin players.

The second book that I read this week was utterly different.

By Terry Sanville set on Catalina Island off the coast of southern CA “ The Big Fall” . A fun historical mystery novel.

Just joined your forum as I feel that in order to survive this go round, I will need to be reading fiction a lot!
