I read quite a bit since my last post: two more
Irene Hannons (
Never Say Goodbye and
Crossroads); three books by Anna Katharine Green (
That Affair Next Door,
Lost Man's Lane and
The Circular Study, all 'starring' Amelia Butterworth, a delightful sidekick to the main detective, Ebenezer Gryce); two books by Bonnie Blythe (
How Sweet It Is and
Texas Whirlwind), and I
dnfed one by her -
Milagro for Miranda.
As for my actual list, I completed
Hemlock Lake, which was OK, and
Sleight Malice, which I found tedious. I
dnfed
Real Life & Liars; I wasn't in the mood for a family drama, and this one is told from multiple perspectives, one of which is third person
present tense ... um, just
no.
Yesterday, I also put aside
Whispers of the Heart (writing too hokey for me), and I completely deleted 7 paid books by Rebecca Forster I was no longer remotely interested in reading.
Still on a kick to finish up my 2011 paid fiction ebooks (only 31 to go!
) and all of those mentioned above (except for the ones by Anna Katharine Green) were bought then. Also, I'm getting more aggressive with books I just can't get into by the first or second chapter, and marking them as
DNF.
I'm already well into my current next-up list:
Artistic License by Julie Hyzy,
The Reluctant Widow by Georgette Heyer, and
That Sleep of Death by Richard King. Again, these are all 2011 purchases.
