Some Day...

Some day I am going to have a disgustingly gorgeous library with dark, rich wood work, a huge fireplace, and overstuffed armchairs along with way too many bookshelves. A place to go to relax and revel in a great story.

I finished the Drift House book. It was good, like the last one but, this one used a lot more talking about the concepts of time. It was almost philosophical, if that is the right word; good action scenes too. I would have liked to have had a more comprehensive passage about the mirror book- the main concept of the story. What was there, for me, seemed kind of scattered. The book is about an uncle and his niece and nephew who get thrown backward in time and are trying to get home and all of the trouble they have in the process.

Now I am reading Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire by Christopher Golden with art by Mike Mignola, of Hell Boy fame. The horrors of World War I find a captain and his men in the midst of trench warfare getting slaughtered by the enemy. Lying on the bodies of his dead soldiers when he comes to after being shot, the battlefield is then descended on by a group of bats with an unexpected appetite. They come for him. He tries to fight back but, only succeeds in starting another sort of war. We will see if he finds his way out of it.

Until later,

Michele
