    I’m currently reading The Bungalow Mystery by Carolyn Keene – it’s the third Nancy Drew book and so far it’s very interesting.

    A quick comment to answer “What are you reading?” I started a mystery at the beginning of hour 2: The Ruthless Realtor Murders by David A Kaufelt. I picked it up for $1.25 at some discount store. I’m enjoying it although it’s a slower read than some books.

    @Maree, How’s Moving Castle has been on my TBR pile for a while now. I really should make the time to read it.

    I just took a short break to make an afternoon snack (jalapeno bacon bites! Heat to keep me awake, and eaten in 1-2 bites w/ one hand so I can keep reading). While the snacks are baking, I’m getting back into Alexandra Diaz’s Of All the Stupid Things
