I DO actually still read... sometimes

Actually I love to read, I just don't get to do it much. I'm lucky if I read a book (for fun) in a month's time. Mostly I read for work, not that that's a bad thing, but I do love a good historical mystery and they're so hard to work into a sermon!

Working on a new find "Murder on the Eifel Tower" by Claude Izner, who I believe is actual a pair of sisters. It's written at the time of the Columbian (?) Exposition in the late 1800's in Paris. Only a few chapters in, I'm thinking it's a little bit slow and disjointed, but I'm really hoping that's a plot tactic and will pleasantly resolve as I go along.

Otherwise, I have stacks and stacks of books waiting for me. I'm seriously thinking about buying a Nook; I just don't think our house can hold anymore paperbacks!

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?)
