Why yes, it is another book report.  And yes, it is another Thursday Next book.  No, I didn’t spend all of my Thanksgiving break reading.  I actually had very little time to read.  Thus, I was only able to complete 1.5 books as opposed to the 3-4 I was planning.  Oh well.

So, Thursday Next in The Well of Lost Plots (by Jasper Fforde in case you had forgotten).

Thursday is firmly ensconced in fiction now, supposed for maternity leave, but not really.  One would think that maternity leave should be relaxing and a time to take care of oneself in preparation for an incoming baby.  That didn’t really happen.  Instead, Thursday gets to unravel a dastardly that is indirectly related to Not-so-benevolent Corporation, fight off the memory of the Big Bad of the previous book, and deal with traitors in Jurisfiction, the literary policing agency of Bookworld.

I think this book was better paced than the previous book and is definitely a good read.  Therefore, you should read it.

I’ve got another book on a 14 day loan that isn’t part of the series that’s up next in my booklist.  I may break up the book report on the series.  Or I may not.  Will have to see.  Yay reading!

It’s another Thursday Next book!  I finished the second book of the series, Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde, not too long ago.

It turns out that Thursday Next, despite being a literary detective, leads a very lively life.  After saving the world from the Big Bad and Benevolent(?) Corporation in the previous book, she…gets to do it all over again!  Huzzah!  Only this time, the world is really coming to an end, Benevolent(?) Corporation has proven itself to be not so benevolent, and the Big Bad is the same and not the same as the previous one who was destroyed.  And in the midst of all this, she has to defend herself in a court of Kafka’s making, is apprenticed to Miss Havisham, of Great Expectations fame, to become a literary detective from the other side, and move house.

She makes me want to be a literary detective as well…
