And now for something completely different.<\/p>\n

I’ve actually had a hard time finding a book to keep my interest recently.<\/p>\n

My current bed time books are Vellum: The Book of All Hours<\/a>\"\" by Hal Duncan, Labyrinth<\/a>\"\" by Kate Mosse, and The Great Influenza: The story of the deadliest pandemic in history<\/a>\"\" by John M. Barry. All three are good, but none of them have yet engrossed me (though Labyrinth<\/em> is getting there.)<\/p>\n

I’ve also started and put right down several other books, including:
\nProven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8)<\/a>\"\" by Jim Butcher (Harry was really annoying me), The Coffin Dancer (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)<\/a>\"\" by Jeffery Deaver (I wasn’t really in the mood for reading about people getting gruesomely killed), Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries)<\/a>\"\" by Dorothy L Sayers (I read a forensic thriller last week–all I could think was “he is totally contaminating the crime scene”), and Shadows in the Darkness (Changeling)<\/a>\"\" by Elaine Cunningham (Is there going to be boinking in this book? I don’t want to read any boinking right now). <\/p>\n

So none of these were what I was in the mood for. Which meant I was all the more impressed that Mister Monday<\/a><\/em> pulled me in immediately, since nothing else has seemed to be doing that right now.<\/p>\n

Now I have to see if any of those will pique my interest, or if I’ll I should pick up another book on the pile: Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary “Jacky” Faber, Ship’s Boy (Bloody Jack Adventures)<\/a>\"\" by L.A. Meyer, 30 Days Of Night: Three Tales (30 Days of Night)<\/a>\"\" by Steve Niles & Jeff Mariotte, The Shadow of the Wind<\/a>\"\" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, and The Banquet of the Lords of Night and Other Stories<\/a>\"\" by Liz Williams.<\/p>\n

Unless of course I pick up one of the other unread books lying around the house…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
