This Week I am Reading:
Blameless: An Alexia Tarabotti Novel - Volume 3 by Gail Carriger - I really enjoy this series so far, so I am happy that my library bought this book and the 4th volume after I requested it. This book is good so far and I am looking forward to seeing how everything plays out.
Down the Mysterly River by Bill Willingham - This is a perfect example of my reading lately. This book isn't even really all that long and I am still reading it! 
The Butterfly Cabinet by Bernie McGill - This book isn't grabbing me yet, so I am not sure if I will continue with it or not. It might just not be the right time for it.
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins - This will be on here for a while. It isn't that I am not enjoying it. It is simply that I am having a hard time concentrating on books lately. I am worried this is doing the book a disservice.
Dracula by Bram Stoker - I also have this book on the go. I am actually enjoying it so far, but I am not rushing it. Short Story Collections:
Fragile Things and Jane Austen Made Me Do It are still on-going.
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle - I received a review copy of this with a new cover, so I thought I would give it a read. I read a couple of the other books in the series earlier in the year, so I am looking forward to carrying on.What have you been reading lately? I am a bit behind on reading blogs, but I have my library pile down to a manageable level. This means I will probably start requesting books again and recommendations are always nice!
Dracula is probably my favorite book of all time! I really want to read The Woman in White sometime.
ReplyDeleteI still need to get my hands on the Carriger novels, I've head some good things about them. Dracula, as expected is a timeless classic :D Good set of reads you got there :)
ReplyDeletei'm having a very difficult time reading right now..but almost done with What Alice Knew and thinking on Plucker by Brom next
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Carriger novel was the first one, but I look forward to the 4th in this series.
ReplyDeleteI love the title and the cover for The Butterfly Cabinet, but there is that thing about reading the right book at the right time. Or the wrong time. :)
Love Dracula and The Woman in White--always.
I really enjoyed Blameless (and the entire series) so I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one when you finish. I ended up enjoying The Butterfly Cabinet when I read it but it isn't a fast-paced book by any means. The Woman in White was also a slower read for me. Hope you end up enjoying some of these :)
ReplyDelete**celwerdblog: I am really enjoying Dracula so far. This reminds me I need to recharge my e-reader so I can carry on with it!
ReplyDelete**Jamie: I really enjoyed the first two Carriger novels. I hope you enjoy them, too!
**Pat: I have read too many good books lately, I think. I am having a hard time settling on anything...
**jenclair: My favourite Carriger so far was the first one, too.
I am hoping The Butterfly Cabinet starts working for me soon...
I am really enjoying both Dracula and The Woman in White!
**samantha: I am really enjoying Carriger's books so far. I look forward to finishing this one and starting in on the next one. I am hoping to enjoy The Butterfly Cabinet and The Woman in White as well.
Sorry "The Butterfly Cabinet" isn't grabbing you. I always thought the book looked pretty interesting.
ReplyDelete**thecheapreader: It just has a slow start. I think it will probably be better once it gets going, but I haven't had a lot of time to get back to it...
