Progress Report

I am about 26 pages from finishing The Woman in White and I am happy to report that it is everything I hoped it would be without even having read the ending. It is very Count of Monte Cristoesque, which I love. It has all the elements of a great book including mystery, intrigue, murder plots, scheming and revenge.

I already have my next book in hand. It is The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. This one fits into my historical fiction category. I can already tell it will be an interesting book just from flipping through it. I also have this awful tendency to ruin endings of books and flip to the end. I hate ruining the endings but I just can’t help it.

So far I have read from several of my categories this year so I feel great about my progress. I've already read two "I'm trying to educate myself" books. I've also read a few "guilty pleasure" books. I have on hold a book in the "It came highly recommended" category. I am about to read a book in the "A fabulous book mixed with history" category. Perhaps, I will need to add a few more categories, though. Just to change things up. Any suggestions?
