| TC is in the sun musing about the chipmunk she sees out the window. Hopefully that is all she does. So far this month she has presented me with two chipmunks - one alive and one dead but both in my bedroom. |
Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week.…Musing Mondays is sponsored by Should Be Reading.
• Describe one of your reading habits.

• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

Today’s musing is about the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah
Harkness. I loved A Discovery of
Witches, book # one. I listed to
it as an audio book and then picked it up at the library in hard cover and
re-read. I liked Shadow of Night,
book #2. I didn’t think it was as
good but I felt it was much better than many middle books in trilogies. I was really looking forward to The Book of Life, book #3.
I loved book one, liked book two and have very mixed feeling
about book three. I was glad to
see how the trilogy ended but I found that I was not caught up in the story
this time. For the first third of The Book of Life I had to force myself to keep reading. Then the story caught me but it did not last. Again I had to make myself read before
the story again caught me. There was more time where the story did not catch me
than time it did. I was glad to
see how the series ended but know it is a book I will not re-read.
I received a copy of The Book of Life from Netgally so I did
not have to pay to be disappointed.
