I LOVE to read, and by writing about what I read, I hope to share some of my passion and inspire people to read books they might not otherwise consider. Or to pick up any book and read because it's fun and because reading makes the world a better place.

Chapter Two Hundred Thirty-Two: Who Is Vera Kelly?
I don't read many spy novels (honestly, I can't think of the last one I did read), but Rosalie Knecht's Who Is Vera Kelly? caught my eye on the new book shelf at work, and I'm so glad I gave it a go. I was intrigued by the setting--mostly Buenos Aires in the early 1960s, not a time and place I know much about--and Vera's character drew me right in, piquing my curiosity and inciting my empathy. I read this in one sitting. (I was on an airplane, in fairness, so I didn't have much else to do, but I think I would've wanted to blaze through it even if I had had other options!) I don't know whether it would appeal to people who normally read spy novels, since I don't know that genre well enough to gauge how typical this one is, but if you like a book with a strong female protagonist and plenty of intrigue and action, definitely consider Who Is Vera Kelly?
