Flying Too High was a highly enjoyable read and I'll be going back after a short break to read the next of the Phryne Fisher mysteries.
The next one is The Clue of the Velvet Mask (Nancy Drew #30) by Carolyn Keene (Harriet Stratemeyer Adams) and I'm looking forward to it. It is written by a different ghost-writer.
Also, I'm reading a short story collection taking place in The Hollowsverse, Into the Woods: Tales from the Hollows and Beyond (The Hollows #10.1) by Kim Harrison. |

It's only 158 pages so it was a quick read, but in my opinion, totally worth it. I'll be buying a couple of copies as gifts.
Now I've picked up a book I've owned for years from one of my favourite authors: Passage by Connie Willis. It's about time.

I think I'll decide on which one to go with next this weekend.
Thanks Caleb, for the recommendation! |
I gave it a try and read the first 4 chapters which made me decide that it wasn't a book for me. Thanks again. Now back to my original choices.
