The duel voices really do help make it different, and it gets more "removed" from PJ as it goes along. I found the first book to be the strongest, but it's worth reading the whole trilogy. Bast is awesome.

I've been experiencing a bit of a reading slump as of late; I used to do most of my reading on the bus or during my lunch at work. Finishing school and having my daylong shifts cut has really taken a bite out of my traditional reading time. However, I'm trying to make the time, and have started a non-fiction called Bizarre London by David Long. It presents and briefly explores various themes that apply to the city, such as spies and hauntings. It isn't a very detailed book, however, and presents its content in a more "factoid" manner. This makes it a fun, fast read; perfect for reading before bed or on a short bus ride. That being said, it is also limiting and tends to leave me wanting more information on certain topics or facts. I know I'll be looking more into some of that stuff cx

And I could keep going, but it would turn into a book review, and that's not the point here. My library schooling is showing cx
