Soulless - Gail Carriger. Not my usual fare, but I enjoyed this a lot. It's set in a version of Victorian London where vampires and werewolves are integrated into society, and the technology is a bit steampunky. Romance is a large element, but far from the whole of the book. Good fun.
I agree with just about all of that.

FYI, there are four more books in that arc, plus a prequel YA-oriented series (Finishing School, third book coming soonish) that can be read separately. There’s also another series due later this year, picking up some time after the original five books.

I am stuck at about 33% into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, so far I just haven't gotten engaged in it. How much longer before it begins to pick up the pace? Or should I quit now and move on? There was so much talk about this that I wanted to read it (without looking deep into the plot or anything to avoid spoilers), but now I am not sure if I want to continue.
Well, the first third took me a week, the next 20% took me about 5 days, but the last 40+% took me 2 days. It definitely picks up after about the 50% mark. I only rated it a 4 star book, mostly because of how slow the first half is. The second half is excellent.

This was book #23 for the year which puts me on pace for just over 100 this year. Next is ?? by ??. I feel a little burnt out after that one, so I may take a little break.

It does pick up, doesn't it.

The second and third books are really one very long book. The second ends on a cliffhanger, as I recall. I had no trouble with the pace, however, and just devoured them both.

I just started "The Time Traveler's Almanac" which was delivered to my Kindle today. I splurged on this because I'm a time travel fanatic and if I remember right, there's over 70 stories covering all aspects of time travel, from the classic to the fantasy. Hopefully it will be as good as I think it's going to be

I finished reading Night Broken earlier today and was quite pleased with it. Now back to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

I finished D Is For Deadbeat by Sue Grafton. It was very good. I'm liking the series a lot!

I am now going back to my re-read of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. I'm on book 3, The Dragon Reborn.

Just finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. The story is told through the eyes of an 18-year old girl, Mary Katherine "Merricat" Blackwood, who we realise is mentally disturbed, thus making her an unreliable narrator. She lives with her elder sister Constance, and her senile Uncle Julian, in their mansion in isolation and fear from the rest of the villagers. We know from the start that there's something strange going on. Basically, it's a quick read and a real page turner. The twist didn't come as a big shock to me because I saw it coming way before it got revealed, but nevertheless, it's an excellent gothic/psychological/thriller novel.


Edited: That's interesting. Just read that Shirley Jackson was agoraphobic herself and that her agoraphobia was the main inspiration for this novel.

After all the recommendations for The Martian by Andy Weir, I am about to start it.

Just finished Lastnight by Stephen Leather, a supernatural Jack Nightingale thriller, which was fun, even if it didn't develop the plot or character much since his last outing (though the end was interesting. Will look forward to seeing how Jack get out of this one...)

Started listening to Proven Guilty yesterday. I found the beginning rather aggravating, but better an hour in. For Kindle reading, I'm reading the latest Asimov mag., April, I think.

And just a few minutes ago, my MP3-CD arrived via UPS.

According to the local forecast, tomorrow looks like a good day for talking a walk, but I have some Wodehouse loaded ahead of it on my iPod, though.
