My answers:
What are you currently reading?
Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn. I can't put this series down...though so far not liking how this one is starting off. I adore that Plum and Portia are back...but where or where is Brisbane!?!
What did you recently finish reading?
Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn (Audio, 4 Stars). I was so glad this audio was on my iTouch because it allowed me to listen to it everywhere! I loved the story. That opening line is one of the best ever. The narration was really good and I enjoyed the gothicness of this book. I've read some reviews that talk about the prose in a whiney fashion but I think it was utterly perfect for the time frame of this novel It helped bring that historical feel to it that a more modern telling would ruin. Full review to come.
Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn (4 stars). I wasn't planning on starting this one. I wasn't! But after finishing Silent in the Grave how could I do any less? For the first part of this novel Brisbane was quite the cad and I wanted to smack him. But at about half way through he is quite redeeming himself again. I am in love with all these characters. I can not wait for book 3!
Silent on the Moor by Deanna Rayburn (4.5 stars). I am a bit addicted to this series. Is it perfect? No...but Julia is such a fantastic character....even though at times she's a bit snobbish...but she is so very believable as a titled woman of the 19th century and I just love her dearly. Her growth and transition from how she was when we meet her in Silent in the Grave is just so amazing. There is just so much to love about this series!
What do you think you'll read next?
The Dark Enuiry by Deanna Raybourn - Lady Julia Grey series Book 5.
Why pretend that I'm going to read anything other than the remaining Lady Julia Grey book next? Lots of good quality fun in this series. I *LOVE* the March family!
What Books Did I Review Since Last Week?
Gah!! how could I not have reviewed anything?!?! Bad blogger! Just what have I been doing with my time...oh yeah...reading. Nasty habit that.

I listened to Silent in the Grave and really liked it, but somehow haven't kept going with the series. I need to, I see.

The Raybourn series sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThose look like great books. I enjoy historical fiction myself and these look like books I might be interested in.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have been reading so many of the Deanna Raybourn books! Such a fab series! And Dark Road to Darjeeling is one of my favourites, so persist!
ReplyDeleteNo worries! I end up starting books while in the middle of one all the time. Sometimes you get a new book that is just too alluring!
