I have a few books that I reread when nothing else seems right (my desert island books), or else I like a straightforward old-fashioned murder mystery before I'm ready for something more complex again. I haven't read this book but maybe one day...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-80581710710734430722013-06-22T23:38:14.689-07:002013-06-22T23:38:14.689-07:00Keishon thanks, I did enjoy it overall but I'm...Keishon thanks, I did enjoy it overall but I'm just not yet sold on anymore; so there was something indefinable that was missing for me, I'm not sure what.

Sorry this one wasn't what you had hoped but four stars is still good in my book. Hope your reading mood improves whenever you decide to read another one of her books (hahaha). Take care. whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030571187291039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-74396805484861957772013-06-22T11:13:30.713-07:002013-06-22T11:13:30.713-07:00I get months like that Col, I wouldn't worry t...I get months like that Col, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I&#...Tracy, you'd probably enjoy her I reckon.<br /><br />I'm asking myself which series I can drop, as my challenges only really account for 2 books a month, plus I have 1 more from a reading group on Goodreads. The thing is I'm actually enjoying the series on the whole, I might just be having an off-spell.<br />I like the sound of a US state challenge, though I'll wait until next year I reckon, and maybe give myself a couple of years to complete. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-33683796420033914792013-06-21T00:01:35.071-07:002013-06-21T00:01:35.071-07:00Cheers Bernadette.

If I see another Larsson when I'm out and about browsing I know I will probably be tempted and if it's the 3rd or 4th, then I'm going to have to find the 2nd!<br />I think it's sound advise to acquire more randomness, hopefully the back end of this month ends on a high and the lethargy goes. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-25806910083883621602013-06-20T15:27:48.169-07:002013-06-20T15:27:48.169-07:00The Asa Larsson series sounds like something I wil...The Asa Larsson series sounds like something I will want to try, eventually. <br /><br />I know what you mean about losing spontaneity in your reading. I joined so many challenges this year, I either have to stick strictly to the challenge reading or give up on some of them. Will probably hit the middle road somewhere. And not challenge myself so much next year.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-73544332253191282822013-06-20T15:02:35.933-07:002013-06-20T15:02:35.933-07:00I'm a big fan of Asa Larsson so of course woul...I'm a big fan of Asa Larsson so of course would suggest you do try more eventually - but we all look for different things in our reading so can understand if she is not for you.<br /><br />I hardly ever structure my reading - apart from when I have to read titles for the judging panel I'm on but thankfully that is over for this year - so I support your plan to be more random in your choices - just go where your mood takes you and hopefully your mojo will return prontoBernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-82458472931826588672013-06-20T07:40:57.165-07:002013-06-20T07:40:57.165-07:00Margot thanks, yes really enjoyable, but I'm n...Margot thanks, yes really enjoyable, but I'm not in a mad rush to try more, just yet!

Of course I'm quite biased, as I am a Larsson fan. I highly recommend the rest of the series, 'though I know exactly what it's like to have too much to read and not enough time.
