So I finished The Historian last week, finally. Sadly, the ending was not so well developed as the rest of the book. But it's done, just two weeks tardy.
Continuing the vampire novel theme, I've also managed to read most of the Undead series by Mary Janice Davidson at night while reading The Historian at lunch. Whereas The Historian took two months of reading, wondering each time as I go to close the book that in an hour, I only read so very little, with the Undead series, it was like eating popcorn and the bowl was empty before I thought possible.
But what I've really been looking forward to arrived yesterday - Shanna's next book, Damsel Under Stress. Yesterday I sat there fretting over continuing to read Darcy Takes a Wife, or starting Damsel. But then I was just too busy at lunch so there was no reading. But they're all sitting there ready to taunt me again today.
Meanwhile, at bedtime I'm reading Wyrd Sisters, but not finding it terribly compelling. It's my second Terry Pratchett book, but I don't think I'm ever going to be a huge Prachett fan. He's too self-conscious of trying to be funny, which makes it a bit less funny.
