Summer is when I do the most reading...

I have been reading, I just haven't been blogging about it, but anyhow, I have read a whole lotta books since Nine wrapped up.  See, when I have nothing to do project-wise I read a crap-load.  This is what I have read in the last couple of weeks:

3 Peter James' Roy Grave novel - Not Dead Yet, Looking Good Dead, Dead Like You
 A J.A.Jance Ali Reynold's mystery - Fatal Error
 Anna Quindlen's Every Last One (sobbing moments in that one)
Superfreakonomics
Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking (very funny - fast read)
The Nazi Officer's Wife (true story of holocaust survivor - Edith Hahn Beer)
Aprilynne Pike's teen fantasy novels - Wings and Spells
Eion Colfer's latest Artemis Fowl - The Last Guardian
Kristen Johnston's autobiographical Guts

That's 12 books and I keep feeling like I am missing one. They were all pretty good reads.  I have some fiction, some non-fiction, some adult stuff and some teen or young adult stuff. 

I am now reading Ruth Rendell's new Wexford novel, The Vault.

An Enjoyable Read...

I finished up The Impossible Dead (Ian Rankin) and then had to urge to re-read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. I have been wanting to do this for awhile so it seemed like a good idea. I was glad I did because it has been so long that I had forgotten quite a bit of the story (detail wise) and was glad to revisit that world. Gaiman is such a good writer.

Then I was going to read P.D. James' Death Comes to Pemberly, but after a few pages I decided that I did indeed want to reread Pride and Prejudice first, so that is what I am doing now. It is going fast, thankfully, so I can then get on to the P.D. James!

In Recent Memory...

I really should update this more frequently, because I cannot remember all the books I have read since the last post...

Right now I am reading:
The Impossible Dead by Ian Rankin
Falling Back by Jann Arden

I just finished:
Red Mist by Patricia Cornwell
Dead Man's Grip by Peter James
Alone in the Classroom by Elizabeth Hay
The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

That's for the last two weeks. I'd have to check the Kobo for anything before that. But it was a productive two weeks of reading!
