Current Reading
I'm still working on Carolly Erickson's The First Elizabeth, but I haven't gotten very far since I've been sick and that book requires more brain power than I've been able to generate the last few days.
So I've been reading another vampire novel, too. This one is entitled Nocturne and is by Elaine Bergstrom. Maybe it is just me being sick, but I don't think this book made a lot of sense. It seemed to me that events just kind of cropped up or happened out of the blue rather for logical reasons. One reviewer likened it to Anne Rice's vampire books, but I didn't think those were that good either.
Well, I have to amend that. Back when the world was young and I was in my early twenties reading Interview With A Vampire and Vampire Lestat, I thought they were just great. Then when I re-read them 10-15 years later my opinion was pretty much the opposite. Go figure.

My post tomorrow is about my favorite books. Most of my favorites are children's fantasy books. I'm anxiously awaiting the new Harry Potter book just as much or more than my kids are.
My husband and I are also eagerly awaiting the new Harry Potter - as are most of my "grown-up" friends! :-)
