Stopped reading the Witching Hour today at page 191,I just can't seem to get into it like I used to. Years ago any Anne Rice book and I as hooked, must be that I'm pass that alluring goth super-natural phase, maybe next year huh?
Instead I'm starting Bathory:Memoirs of a Countess it's only 250 +/- a few pages so it'll be quick and fun with halloween around the corner and Elezabeth Bathory has been a mystery to many.

[quote=""Misfit""]Do you have the other two in the series? I have them but I needed to put some space between Harold the King before I got into that period again. I read Gildenford and Harold too close to each other. Way too much dejavu/been there done that.[/quote]
I do. I usually space my books out by subject matter (thanks to my excel spreadsheet) so I rarely read two books about the same thing close together (a recent exception was Time and Chance and Devil's Brood with only 4 other books between them). It's probably been about a year since I read Harold the King. I am enjoying Gildenford though so far.

I've finished "The Rosetta Key" by William Dietrich, sequel to "Napoleon's Pyramids". An action packed thrill ride of a book with mystery and romance. I hope Dietrich will write more novels starring Ethan Gage in the future.

I messaged William Dietrich through his website and he emailed me back. There's going to be another Ethan Gage book out in March 2009, "The Dakota Cipher", looking forward to that!

I am reading a little novel called 'Knitting, a novel' by Anne Bartlett.
It is centered around two characters: Sandra and Martha. Martha is the knitter, she can knit anything! She even is knitting a horse! What is really great for me is where the novel is set: Adelaide! Here in South Australia! They shop on Rundle Mall, walk through the Parklands, go to a certain church (one of many here in the city of churches!)! All this in a good story!

A good book and a good coffee, what more can anyone want? xx

I love reading books set in places I have read because you do get to recognise so many of the places that are mentioned.

I think you would like this one! It is only small, and very easy to read, in fact I started it yesterday and am nearly finished it so it would be a days travel for you!
