Considering I’ve been off work this week and not really been commuting, I don’t think I’ve done too badly. I’ve called time on the Sarah Waters – there’s so much else I’d rather be reading, and it’s lingered for two months not being read, so I’ve given up. I’ll keep it around – and I may return to it – but enough people (including The Boy) have told me that it wound them up or left them unsatisfied that I thought I’d rather spend my time on stuff I do enjoy.
I’m trying to delay reading the last Parasol Protectorate story – because once I read it, I’m out of Gail Carriger to read until her next book comes out (in 2015!) so the purchase of a couple of Ngaio Marsh omnibuses in Foyles double Foyalty points promotion last weekend has bee fortuitous. A bit of Golden Age crime is an excellent distraction!
