So my ribs are still messed up, which makes typing and well, breathing, a bit rough. However, if you follow me on social media, you will see that I am back on steroids, so I picked up an old favorite.. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. I breezed through this book. I loved it. What’s great is I keep track on Goodreads, when I re-read a book. And amazingly it was February 4 years ago that I re-read this series. Now, my thoughts are the first book is simply divine. 🙂
The second book, Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, was a bit slow for me this time around. It was repetitive, but okay. The third book, Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse, is back to the fast-paced adventure, my steroid brain needs.
Today, I also started reading Cheddar Late than Dead by Linda Reilly. This is the third book in a cozy mystery series. Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and Sourcebooks for sending it to me. Now, I enjoy cozies, and this one seems cute. However, one problem I have with small-town cozies, is there tends to be a lot of characters. For instance, I am 14 pages in and I have met or learned about 12 characters. Right now, my head is spinning! I am going to keep trying, because there is a bridezilla and grilled cheese everything, so I am sure the dead body will appear sooner rather than later.
What is also neat about Cheddar Late than Dead, is that it is my first cozy mystery in the new-longer mass-market size. I have read romances over the past 2 years that have come in this size, but all the cozies that I have read, are either mass market, ebook, or trade paperback. I like this new longer mass market, for holding, but it messes with the bookcases!
Do you re-read books, when you are not feeling well? Do you enjoy a lot of characters in your stories, or do you want to get to the heart of the matter? Have you seen/read a longer mass-market book? What are your thoughts on these new sizes and your bookshelves?
No matter what your reading, I hope your Sunday was filled with great books.
