About to start Mary Rodger's . Picked this as a nice short book as I'm currently 11 behind on my 150 book challenge, down from 14 behind.
Forgot to say I was reading this paranormal romance science fiction cross over by Jayne Castle aka Jayne Ann Krentz - .Sign of the times - posted the AZ link here and the current edition has a man with his shirt open and no vest on. The older edition I'm reading has a flower on the cover - the Amaryllis of the title!
Now reading book 2 of this series by Jayne Castle aka Jayne Ann Krentz - . At least the modern version of this one features a hunk in a black vest - no obligatory bulging sixpack for a change! Still prefer my old edition with the chrysanthemums on the cover.
89 books down but still 11 behind on the challenge. Oh dear!
10 behind now but don't expect I can keep that up!Started third in the St Helen's trilogy by Jayne Castle aka Jayne Ann Krentz: .

Now reading a collection of Algernon Blackwood's work, including stories not collected before the date of this one (late 80s) - .Sadly, back to being 13 behind. Had a few days when very little reading was done :-(
Sorry to hear you are still behind Pam, but hope you are enjoying what you are reading.
Desley (Cat fosterer) wrote: "Sorry to hear you are still behind Pam, but hope you are enjoying what you are reading."Even more behind now Desley - 19! - as I've been reading my own book, trying to do a last edit on it. I have managed at last to put up a review of the last thing I finished - Algernon Blackwood's The Magic Mirror: Lost Supernatural and Mystery Stories -
I have started two other books though not got very far with one of them due to other things - Jayne Castle's first in her Harmony series - , and
Ooh, that first Algernon Blackwood book sounds interesting. Hope you can catch up at some point.
Just finished Best Ghost Stories of Algernon Blackwood and reviewed it - /review/show/2140404455. A mixed bag as I've said but on the whole enjoyable and was glad I didn't find 'The Wendigo' a disappointment as I first read that when I was about 10 and remembered certain things from it - it lived up to my memories luckily.
I think I'd better forget this year's reading challenge - I'm now 21 books behind....
Wow, you are reading loads though! I generally find short story collections a mixed bag
As light relief, I read a couple of books by Jayne Anne Krentz under her Jayne Castle pseudonym:After Dark - review - /review/show/2108842406
and
After Glow - review - /review/show/2108842525
Now reading by Jayne Castle, book 3 in the Ghost Hunter series, continuing on from After Dark and After Glow.
Desley (Cat fosterer) wrote: "Wow, you are reading loads though! I generally find short story collections a mixed bag"Yes, it was the same with these Desley. I'm now 25 behind - after adding the two reviews above. Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ certainly knows how to motivate you!
Glad you are enjoying them, just ignore the tracker
Yes I have to now - I posted another review today but it had already said I was now 26 behind, so that hasn't made any difference, just made it 25 again. Bit ridiculous.
Read another Jayne Castle, 3rd in the Ghost Hunter series - Ghost Hunter - and reviewed it - /review/show/2108842606.
