I'm having a hard time finding another book to read. I've tried 3 already this week and nothing is sticking. I've got The Lost Symbol and I'll definitely finish that one. It's good enough to read all the way through. I'll post a review of that probably on Monday next week.
I was looking for a good romance to read simultaneously, but have yet to find it. I tried Georgette Heyer but I'm not feeling it. It's not gothic enough for me. It seems to be all dialogue and no long description of the houses and clothes and people. It's like reading a play and I can't get into it. There are too many characters and I can't seem to follow it enough to want to read the whole thing. So disappointing. I tried Darcy's Story by Janet Aylmer and it doesn't look too promising either.
I read a lot of books and sometimes it's a curse. I've become so picky about what I read that not just anything will do. I'm afraid I'm starting to read like an editor. I get pissed if too many characters are introduced too quickly. I'm annoyed if the backstory is not slipped in delicately, but thrown in my face in the middle of a conversation. I want new and different people in crazy yet believeable situations. I want steamy romance that sucks me in and doesn't seem like a brief summer hook-up. It drives me crazy until I finally find that one book that makes me escape and I have to finish it in 2 days. Those books are so far and few inbetween, but that is why I buy so many books.......on the off chance that I find a gem.
I'll keep you posted if I find anything good. That's my job.
