It’s a Toss-Up

It’s a Toss-Up

November 23, 2010 Nightstand 10 Comments

I finished The Weight of Heaven today (more on this book later) and now I don’t know which book to dive into.

Part of me thinks I should start a good historical and By Fire, By Water seems like it would fit the bill perfectly. But it’s evening and I don’t know how gruesome the scenes of the Inquisiton will be so I don’t know that I want to be thinking about that before falling asleep.

I wouldn’t mind starting a book from a favorite mystery series like Close to Home or maybe starting a new series with The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

Should I go with a novel in translation such as The Unit which is from a Swedish author?

Goodness, tonight is just one of those nights were I can’t figure out what to read next. What do you do? Stare at your stacks or just grab a book and go with it? I’ll let you know which book I ended up selecting tomorrow.

    I’m facing this same dilemma as I get ready to hop on an airplane tomorrow for my holiday. I just can’t seem to settle on the books that I want to bring with me. I look forward to hearing about the book that you end up choosing!

    I have By Fire, By Water in my TBR. I know what you mean, it can be hard trying to pick the next read.

    I stare at my stacks and pull a few that look good and go from there! I just started a couple of new books for my break from work–yay. I’d love to read The Unit, by the way. I also have it to read! Have fun choosing something new.

    Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie! Although I haven’t read the others so that’s not really fair. 🙂 I usually just pick a book and go with it. And then pick another and start than one too. 🙂
