Book Limbo

Hmmm...book limbo. As much as I dislike it, I gave up on a book this morning. Last week, trolling the shelves of the local library I picked up The Hunted by L.A. Banks. I was in the mood for a quick and silly read and not having read a vampire book for awhile I thought this would be perfect. Yes, yes, we all know that vampires are sensual creatures yada yada yada...but this book was a one-trick pony. After a couple hundred pages I gave up. I still have Guatemalan Journey to finish...but now he's moved on to the cities and villages outlying Guatemala City, so the traces of familiarity do not run as deep and my interest not quite as strong. This being summer, reading comes in fits and starts, interrupted by kids running through sprinklers, etc. I've already been through the Kathy Reichs oeuvre...I wish that Jasper Fforde would come out with a new book...that's what this summer needs. Fortunately, I have a major knitting project to keep me busy. The cable sweater is coming along well. I've been working on it for 2 days now and have made good progress.
