Currently Reading: Goldie Vance vol #1 and Lily B. on the Brink of Paris

I was going through my bookcases looking for something different to read and found Goldie Vance. Since, I can never get enough of reading mysteries, I can't wait to give this a read. Initially, there were only 12 issues in this series (which are available in three volumes) before it was cancelled. However, the series is continuing on in the trade edition with volume #4 out in May.

As for the second book, Lily B. on the Brink of Paris, I bought this from a library book sale. This is an Advanced Reader Copy that someone must have donated to the library which must have placed in the book sale. It seems interesting and I can't wait to read this as well.
