A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. On sale today only 4/18/12 Amazon price matching B&N for $2.99 so I grabbed it. I have intended to read this for ages yet can't seem to bring myself to pick up the hardcover. Well, I thought it was a good rationalization to purchase.

Just read the latest Jo Nesbo Harry Hole book, Phantom. Really enjoyed it. It's 6th or 7th in the series and I've enjoyed them all.

Since I have been going through my TBR pile and the collected freebies from here, I saw Mystery of the Titanic - A Complete Account With Photos, Newspaper Clippings, & Description. Titanic 100 years: April 15, 1912 to April 15, 2012 (Titanic 100th Anniversary) by Pierre Beaumont "Journalist" - sure it had newspaper clips and photos, but couldn't enlarge or really read them on my K Fire. Thank goodness it was a freebie, as I finally just skimmed it. "Journalist" of what? I didn't even bother to find out.
Switching back to some Egypt themed books, I am about to start The Buried Pyramid by Jane Lindskold. I just picked this up from Tor, when I saw the thread started by Pete731, Free books from Tor, in our Deals forum. It's $7.99 at Amazon published by Macmillan. The reviews are up and down the scale, so it will be interesting to see if I like it. |

Mary Russell - Locked Rooms - a short sample
In Locked Rooms, I just loved this passage (it sure gives you some of the flavor of this series):

Just finished another of the Mason books; The Case of the Fabulous Fake by Erle Stanley Gardner. One of his later books, originally copyrighted on November 17, 1969—just four months before his death on March 11, 1970.

I'm currently on a Trollope kick. Now reading "The Prime Minister" (well, audiobook, actually). Also working on "Georgette Heyer's Regency England" and a re-read of Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell."
