I can't believe I did that

So, with a dedicated session of reading this morning, I was able to finish Secret of the Seventh Son before I went to work today. The story pulled all sorts of various story ideas together into one well-fitting set of events. I was intrigued by the "true" reason for Area 51 according to this book. Sometimes I wonder how in the world writers can come up with the stories they've written and this is one of those times. I enjoyed the book and almost want to suggest it to the Lemmings for the next book, but I'm not sure if everyone would enjoy it.

While walking to work I started the next book in my stack - a book I interlibrary loaned from the Red Wing Public Library (I think that's the correct library); Ghosts Among Us by Leslie Rule. A few lines in the forward and the introduction sounded familiar, but I thought I must have just glanced through the book a bit after I first brought it home. However, as I continued reading, I noticed that more and more of the book was looking familiar - it had the Seattle Fish Shop (where they toss fish around all day) story, and through paging forward it had the story of Roselyn (the filming site for the show Northern Exposure - I had already read this book about a year ago. So I ended up not having a book to read on my break at work, or for the rest of the walk to work. To fix that, while on my break, I checked out Andrew Greeley's Irish Tweed, which unfortunately appears to currently be the final (or at least most recent) Nuala Anne McGrail mystery. So far it's pretty good - Dermot's got a few good lines so far, although I don't entirely know what the mystery is going to be at the moment - I'm still that near the beginning of the book. I suspect I may come pretty close to finishing it tomorrow - unless I watch some of The Twilight Zone: The Complete First Season as I probably should - it's due back soon enough that I should try to finish at least some or even most of it.
