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!

Books, Books, Books...

I've been busy but I have a read a few things. I finished The Complaints by Rankin. It was good. I hope this character continues as I think it gives him somewhere to go. I also read Necessary as Blood by Deborah Crombie. Good read. Something happens and the 'crime' is interesting. I am currently reading the 3rd book in the Time Travelling series that I started a while back - The Time Quake by Linda Buckley-Archer. I recommend this series to any kid-lit fans out there. It is really well written and I find it to be a quality series.

Here I Go...

I am reading The Complaints by Ian Rankin. I am also reading Trofmiuk's Waiting for Columbus. I am trading back and forth, but it is hard not to go for the Rankin 'cause I love his writing. I read the second book in the Gideon Trilogy and I need to go get the third. Those are ones I recommend for kids who read (9-11 and up).

Christmas Books

Got Doors Open for Christmas and I am almost done that now. It is very Ian Rankin, not Rebus, but good. He can write and I appreciate that. I got a few others plus a gift certificate so I shall make my way to Chapters/Coles in good time. I also received my online order of 3 of my Drama books for this term. I want to read the plays ahead of time to be prepared for any discussion. I learned to do this (reading ahead) in my fourth year of university and it really helped. With the way my life is a re-read is easier to fit in than a first read.

Cold Weather slows down reading?

I finished up Exit Music (Ian Rankin). It was good for those of you who read the Rebus books. You also get the feeling that just because Rebus has retired he is not done... Yay!

I started another Mystery/Police Procedural. I am reading Peter Robinson's latest in the Alan Banks series - Friend of the Devil. There is something about reading a book from a series you are familiar with. You can sink into it and be comforted that you already know the major players and then you can just enjoy the ride.

The Title

Ian Rankin - Exit Music. I guess Rebus is retiring. Awww.

Finally Finished

I finally finished Spook Country. Not the best Gibson, but okay. Took me a little while longer than usual because I have not had time at night to read. My time is taken up with other things.

I will start on Ian Rankin's latest tonight.
