>:D

I didn't know that either.

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.

He's Mycroft!

Yep! :D

Lord Peter Wimsey

Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers

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.

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.

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... ;)

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 ;_;

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.

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!!

Thankfully, it seems like I'm slowly recovering from my slump *fingers crossed*
