I used to have a real problem with not being able to abandon books, but Calibre and my Kindle have made that much better. In the old days, if I had bought a book, I felt nearly compelled to read it. But now, with a huge TBR, and all of them organized into Calibre, I can see that I am not short of books, and dropping one off the list is not a stretch at all. And in the case of Kratman and a couple of others like him, I've learned not to even
start his books. What I actually need to do is go into Calibre and simply delete all of his books. I will never read them, they're just clutter acquired in various Baen bundles before I knew better.
I just finished
The Murder of Mary Russell by Laurie King, the latest in the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series. Wonderful, once I got in to it, though it was a bit slow and confusing at the beginning.
After that, started and stopped several books. Just not now for each of them. So, I wanted something reliable, and decided on an old favourite author --
Pistols for Two by Georgette Heyer. Can't go wrong with that.
