I’m currently reading four books and none of them are really holding my interest (despite several of them being quite good):

• Magic by the Lake (Edward Eager) is the story of four siblings who end up vacationing next to a wishing lake. I’m nearly done with this sequel to Half-Magic, which I read seven years ago.
• The Complete Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi) is the famous graphic novel (is novel really the correct term when it’s a memoir?) of a girl growing up in Iran in the 1970s and 1980s. It’s excellent, but not really the sort of thing I can lose myself in.
• The Sorceress (Michael Scott) is the third book in the Nicholas Flamel series. I think this has the exact opposite problem of the graphic novel, in that I want to have the time just to read it straight through. Or I’m getting burnt out on the characters. Not sure which yet, really…
• Merry, Merry Ghost (Carolyn Hart) is the latest book I picked up from the library and, as you might guess, is a seasonal mystery with a dead woman as the protagonist sent to earth to serve as, essentially, a guardian angel. Again, I don’t know if it’s just my state of mind or if I’m just not wowed by her writing, but I’m having a hard time getting into it.

Which one of them should I pull to the top of the pile? Or what should I be reading instead?
