Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments I had to look up your new series titles and now I am thinking that I may add Swann's Way to my list. I had the first book marked to be read but I didn't know it was a series.

Anna Kļaviņa (annamatsuyama) | 1354 comments >:D

I didn't know that either.

Anna Kļaviņa (annamatsuyama) | 1354 comments Lucifer Box

The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss

I picked up this book b/c Gatiss is one of the co-writers of BBC Sherlock. I expected the book to be easy&fun read and it was. However I'm not sure if I'm going to finish the trilogy.

Anna Kļaviņa (annamatsuyama) | 1354 comments Lord Peter Wimsey

book 1 out 15. I'm not sure if I'll read all books in the series but I'm definitely reading the second one.

Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, #1) by Dorothy L. Sayers

Anna Kļaviņa (annamatsuyama) | 1354 comments The Two Vampires

Dark Wine by M.D. Bowden

This book was a kindle freebie and it had such a nice cover, so I picked it up ages ago, and now thanks to this challenge I read it at last.

I didn't like it.

Dark Wine (The Two Vampires, #1) by M.D. Bowden

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments Hi Anna,

I am afraid I have some like that "great cover" book on my Nook. Free always sounds so nice. I will get to them eventually. :0)

One day... ;)


message 18: by Anna (new)

Anna Kļaviņa (annamatsuyama) | 1354 comments oh my. i had this awful reading slump for like half a year...and the only thing i could read was fanfics.

i'm so behind my reading challenges ;_;


message 19: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59873 comments Don't pressure yourself in doing the challenges. They're meant to be fun, and not a chore. If you're in a reading slump, anything that seems like a chore just drags you down.


message 20: by Rusalka, Moderator (new)

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19203 comments Glad you're checking in, Anna. I was thinking about you the other day, so lovely to see you around.

I agree with Janice. I had a slump of about 6 weeks earlier in the year, and you just need to find things to pull you out. If it's not challenge related, so be it! As long as you're enjoying what you're reading!!


message 21: by Anna (new)

Anna Kļaviņa (annamatsuyama) | 1354 comments Thankfully, it seems like I'm slowly recovering from my slump *fingers crossed*
