::whines:: I've been covering books at work for the last few month. Silly me, I then read the summary while trying to get the plastic to just the right tightness around the dust jacket.
This has led to me now having a stack of 21 books to read. ;_;
It's times like these I wish I was still doing jury duty. The whole getting up at horrifying times of the morning to drive 45 minutes to New Haven was suprisingly a fabulous way to get through 400+ page book in less than a week. The Federal Marshalls even started asking me every morning about my new book.
Well, I finally finished reading Montmorency and the Assassins. And I just have to say that while I enjoyed the first book, and the second book has some truly enjoyable moments, the third book nearly left me cold. There were too many little, nearly insignificant plot lines to follow and Montmorency didn't do any of the things that made him so very interesting in the first book. However I would be willing to read a fourth book if one ever comes out, if only to have some closure with the death of a rather important character.
And last thing on the book front.... Jim Butcher is putting out a new Dresden book called White Night. Damn you man, I'm still two books behind, and now I find out you wrote a Spiderman novel too. Arg!! I must get that now too, because if anyone can write Spiderman's quirky sense of humor you can.
And now, NUMB3RS!! Weeee!
