It's time to rejoice with the revival of the One Book, Two Book, Three Book meme originated by Simon at Stuck in a Book and brought to my attention by raidergirl3 at An Adventure in Reading.
1. The books I’m currently reading: Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers. The penultimate mystery novel in the Wimsey-Vane cycle of Sayers' detective novels. Craziness abounds at a women's college in Oxford
2. The last book I finished: Savage Beauty: The Life of Edna St. Vincent Millay by Nancy Milford. A lovely biography that I've meant to read for a long time. AND The Word for Everything by Roger Mitchell, pleasant little book of poetry.
3. The next book I want to read: The Pianist in the Dark by Michele Halberstade. A novel of love and music inspired by the life of pianist Maria-Theras van Paradis, a blind virtuoso and contemporary of Mozart and Salieri.
4. The last book I bought: The Word for Everything by Roger Mitchell. I bought it yesterday from the Friends of the Library Bookstore at our local library.

5. The last book I was given: Such Friends Are Dangerous by Walter Tyrer. Arrived as a surprise in the mail from one of my great blogging buddies, John over at Pretty Sinister Books! He is one of the most knowlegable fellows I know on vintage mysteries.
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.

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!
Bev, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather, and especially right before the holidays. You're in my thoughts.
