I am in the mood to read some modern young adult mystery or suspense books. Around a week ago, I found a YA book on Amazon that sounded like I would enjoy it. I held off trying it until after the new Keeper of the Lost Cities book was released.
I have read now the new Keeper book twice and have a rough draft of what I want to say about the book. I still want to read the YA book that I found a week ago, and perhaps I will begin tomorrow.
By the way, I looked a few reviews of that YA book. One person complained about the dialogue being too juvenile. Ah, another snobbish review by someone who doesn't like YA but inexplicably decided to read a YA book. So typical. I still don't understand why these people keeping reading YA when they don't like reading YA. I don't have trouble avoiding books that aren't the kind I enjoy. I simply don't read them.
If I succeed in getting back into reading books, then I should end up with some book reviews in the next few months. In the meantime, I wrote up a bunch of new Keeper posts as I read through the set this fall. I mention this because most of you likely have no interest whatsoever in seeing a bunch of Keeper posts. As of now, I have 21(!) Keeper posts that will publish in the next couple of months or so, depending upon how I space them out.
I have partially written a few posts or have ideas for posts. I have an idea for a new Hidden Clues post that I think I will be motivated enough to finish. I have a situation with some extremely musty books that I plan to write up once I know my degree of success (or failure) in reducing the musty odor.
I have written a post about the Nancy Drew action figures and my thoughts on trying to sell my extras.
I also have a couple of posts that I've written about the current state of series books. Both of those posts are completely finished, but I'm keeping them unpublished for now for a certain reason.
Mainly, I want to forewarn you that a flood of Keeper posts are coming, but there will be some other stuff hopefully mixed in every so often. Bear with me.
