Another one down...

Finished up Napoleon's Pyramids. I liked this one pretty well. Enough that I'm looking forward to reading its sequel that should be out now or sometime soon. Again, not something I'm reading for enlightenment, but then, I do that as part of my job, so I try to escape when I'm reading at home for pleasure.
Still working on the Mosaic Crimes. Still going slowly, which means I'm going to end up reading something else alongside it, making it go even more slowly.
Picked up 3 new books for vacation. Can't remember all the titles, but I'll fill y'all in as I pick them up. Mom and sis always bring plenty of trashy romances to fill idle time too. Probably won't give all the details on those. They are what they are.
Happy reading!

I'm working on...

...Giulio Leoni's The Mosaic Crimes right now. Of course, I don't just read one book at a time either so I'm also reading Napoleon's Pyramids by William Dietrich.
Leoni's is a little slow. I think that might be because it's a translation--now, don't get me wrong, it's a very good translation, but as they say, things get lost... However, I am enjoying it and since I'm not that far into it, I'm still reserving judgment for the most part. If it gets good and twisty-turny you know I'll like it!
The Pyramids are right up my alley. I love mysteries for brain candy and especially the historic ones. Amelia Peabody anyone?
(And just in case your wondering, no, Amazon in not paying me a dime--but don't you think they should?)
