Book bonanza!

After a month of not being able to settle on a book to read, I'm drowning in books at the moment. Got Minette Walters' The Devil's Feather and Ruth Rendell's Thirteen Steps Down out of the library, and am waiting on the new Deborah Crombie, Water Like a Stone. New books by favorite authors! Finally.

Of course, the other day I forgot to bring my book to work. With an hour break for dinner, the idea of being bookless struck me with terror. So I wandered over to the Waldenbooks and not only picked up a new Laurie R. King, The Art of Detection (which I didn't even know was out -- my radar must be faulty), but I found ROOM SERVICE on the front wall under New Releases! Very cool.

I just finished Room Service over the weekend. I LOVED it! Can I have one Rhys to go please! ;)So, are the names Angel and Callendar coincidences or shout outs? Also, I kept picturing Callendar House like the Hyperion. Guess I have Buffy/Angel on the brain!

I also just finished The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I highly recommend it. I was entranced from beginning to end.

I'm so glad you liked it! Rhys was pretty yummy, if I do say so myself.

Angel was definitely a shout out. Callendar was more of a coincidence. ;-) The hotel, though -- when I was trying to describe the banquette in the lobby, I was picturing the one at the Hyperion.

I've been dying to read The Thirteenth Tale, too -- glad you reminded me.
