What I'm Reading Today

So, I am about 80% through with



which is the third in a series of Western historical romances that are extremely steamy, but not very historically accurate. There have been more than a few eye-rolling moments. High entertainment, though. And I'm certainly not struggling to finish the book.

I am also still bogged down in




and for some reason I have a really hard time DNF'ing a book. Although at this point, I am at 81%, and I've committed so much time to it that there is no way I'm not going to finish it. It's not like Agents of Innocence is a bad book. It is just not really what I want to be reading, and it drags. It started with a bang -- a bombing -- but since then, it has been lots of spycraft, but not the derring-do kind of spycraft. The recruiting agents, building relationships, long-term intelligence kind of spycraft. Jason Bourne is not in this book. So, I WILL finish it, and I WILL finish it this week, but dang, it is a bit of a slog.

I am also reading



and I am at 18%. I am sure hoping that it picks up speed. It is a YA dystopian book in a post-avian-flu-wiped-out-99%-of-humanity-world. I don't really understand the whole "climate change" aspect of the book, since the likelihood of a major health catastrophe coupled with a global catastrophe that puts much of the Eastern Seabord under water seems, well, farfetched. But then again, I suppose that the end of the world as we know it will seem farfetched if it happens.
