So I finished reading The Alchemyst about Nicholas Flamel and fraternal twins who may be the key to either saving or destroying the world as we know it. It was a fun fast read. As a mythology buff, all the name-dropping was interesting. Talking about this book at book club should be fun.

I'm now moving on to Ilium by Dan Simmons, another mythology-heavy tome, on the recommendation of G.

Slightly off topic, but I sat down and read 2 issues of Science Illustrated, 1 issue of Discover, and 1 issue of Mental Floss. I've come to the conclusion that I'll let my Discover subscription lapse as I prefer the "illustrations" and explanations in Science Illustrated more. And Mental Floss is love!

So I picked up and finished Angels in America, the play that was turned into an HBO miniseries. Very good.

I finished reading The Historian over the weekend. What a fabulous read! Lovely pacing, atmosphere, and tone. It really sucks you in, and I love the open ending. I love historical fiction and this really fits the bill. I totally recommend it.

I've also read some more of Cheryl's Escorts Entangled.
