Juliet Marillier’s last book in her Sevenwaters Trilogy.

Yeah, well. Dunno if it’s me and the turns my life has taken in the past few days (which are considerable), but I am getting somewhat impatient with the whole _saga_ …

Tried the Maggie series of murder mysteries (she is in publishing)–thought the book was funny about half way through and then realized I didn’t give a hoot about any of the characters and so I stopped reading–I don’t even know who the culprit is (unheard of for me to not read until that is revealed or guessed).

Also tried the Bubbles series of murder mysteries–guess I’m off sassy/smart ass women detectives.  
Maybe I’ll read the backs of all the toiletries–it’d be as entertaining.

Finished **Dark Hollow** by John Connolly – if you like high body counts and an introspective ex-cop, you’d like this.

Next up is **A Faded Coat of Blue** by Owen Parry. I’ve had this laying around for awhile but decided to finally read it after seeing it on an Amazon list of their favorite books of the decade. It’s a Civil War mystery.
