Book Binge

I love weekends!  I finally get to do exactly what I want to do and I'm not too tired to do it.  This weekend, that thing I seem to want to do is read.  I finally finished "The Sherlockian."  It was fantastic but slightly disappointing.  After such an intriguing story, the ending was fairly anti-climatic.  I hate books that just end.  I like things to be tied up in a little bow, which I guess is why I like mysteries so much.  The killer is always caught by the genius detective and will always get what he/she deserves.  But I'd still recommend it to anyone who likes Sherlock and/or mysteries.  The story itself was a creative take and the mystery was worthy of Sherlock himself.

Then it was on to another of Doyle's original Sherlock mysteries. I'm slowly making my way through the short stories.  They've become my intermission between books.  The stories are good, but they don't really hold my interest for long periods of time, so it's difficult to read them all at once.  I actually think they work better spread out since that's how Doyle intended for them to be published.

Then I was in a funk because I wanted to get to a book store to pick up one of the dozens of books on my Pinterest shelf, but ran out of time.  Luckily, I usually have a backlog so I chose "And God Created the Au Pair." The bestie lent me this one months ago and has been on my case to read it the entire time I've had it.  Lucky for her, I'm in my London state of mind, and a book about an Au Pair living in London, sounds about perfect right now.  That is of course, until I can get to a Barnes and Noble : )
