My Recent Book Excursions

At the moment I am reading Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers. This is another book that I own in one of the Franklin Library of Mystery Masterpieces editions. I'm currently on chapter 4, and I am loving this book so much. There are so many elements to the novel that are fun. I love the setting of Pym's Publicity, Ltd., and how all of the characters at the company are exactly what you would expect for each of their positions. I love the fast paced dialogue and wit. And of course, who doesn't love a good murder mystery? This one is shaping up to be very interesting. In many ways, it reminds me of the television series Mad Men...only this story has a dead body.

This is my first Sayers novel, but I know that once I am finished I will go back and read the rest.

Right before this novel I read Of Mice and Men in about a days time. What a wonderful story. So sad and heartbreaking...a novel of dreams and friendship. Everyone should take the short amount of time to read this book. I can't believe that I never had to read it in school. I'm glad I did now.

I blogged earlier about reading Rebecca, and I absolutely loved that novel. I was instantly drawn into the story, and it held me right until the last word. A lovely book, suspensful and surprising...a mystery that you cannot put down. I have a feeling my mom would love this book. If she isn't reading anything now, I will have to let her borrow it. She can fill out one of my library cards the next time she is over. ;-)
