Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.

WWW: Wednesdays
WWW: Wednesdays is hosted by MizB over at Should Be Reading.
To play along, just answer the following three questions....
*What are you currently reading?
*What did you recently finish reading?
*What do you think you'll read next?
Current:
Death by Water by Kerry Greenwood. The nice men at P&O are worried. A succession of shipboard jewlery thefts from the first-class passengers is hardly the best advertisement for their cruises. Especially when it is likely that a passenger is the thief. Phryne, with her Lulu bob, green eyes, cupid's bow lips, and sense of the ends justifying the means, is just the person to mingle seamlessly with the upper classes and take on a case on the high seas--or at least on the S. S. Hinemoa--on a luxury cruise to New Zealand. She is carrying the Great Queen of Sapphires, the Maharani, as bait. There are shipboard romances, champagne cocktails, erotic photographers, jealous swains, mickey finns, jazz musicians, blackmail and attempted murder, all before the thieves find out--as have countless love-smitten men before them--that where the glamorous and intelligent Phryne is concerned, resistance is futile
Finished Since Last Wednesday (click title for review):
Our Lady of the Lost & Found by Diane Schoemerlen
The Agency: The Body at the Tower by Y. S. Lee
One Step Behind by Henning Mankell
Up Next:
The Return of the Dancing Master by Henning Mankell
Also looking ahead to The Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge and can't wait till Nov 26th to start:
A Christmas Carol & Other Christmas Writings by Charles Dickens
Mistletoe Mysteries collected by Charlotte MacLeod
Christmas Stalkings collected by Charlotte MacLeod

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
Death by Water sounds pretty good. :)
