Stressful money situation at the house at the moment. We'll get by but it's hard on everyone.
Currently reading Sold Down The River by Barbara Hambly and enjoying it like I have all the others in the series so far. There is no place quite like New Orleans. I have to admit, I like reading about New Orleans. Past, present and future. She has a strange attraction to me.
So, book based in historical New Orleans from the perspective of free man Benjamin January. Mysteries. I like the characters or hate them, depending on the storyline. His mother drives me right up the wall, I may not like her but I can understand her to an extent. Voodoo queen Marie Laveau makes appearances but she always ties into the story, never gratuitous. Detective Shaw is a great character with depth, although first appearances are deceiving. So, like history and mystery? I'd totally recommend this series.
The first book in the series is A Free Man of Color. I've been picking these up where I can find them but since my local Borders stores have closed, I received this last one through Paperback Swap.
