What are you currently reading?
Alix E. Harrow - The Ten Thousand Doors of January I'm 35% through and while I do not love it quite as much as Once and Future Witches or Starling House it's still an intriguing storyline and I am enjoying it.
Sarah J Maas - A Court of Wings and Ruin 83% through and pretty sure I'll finish it in the next couple of days. My least favourite of the series so far. I'm not enjoying the war storyline or the battle scenes and I'm struggling to tell the characters apart.
Neil MacGregor - A History of the World in 100 Objects I'm 77% through and determined to finish it this week. It's interesting enough but so dryly written that I can't read much at a time.
Anne Rice - The Vampire Lestat I've lost count of how many times I've read this book, and can quote the opening paragraph by memory. Li and I started talking about the books and so I just picked it up and started reading (I re-read Interview recently). I'm at 23% through - Lestat has just been turned and Magnus went into the fire
What did you recently finish reading?
Ronald Hutton - The Stations of the Sun: A History of the Ritual Year in Britain 4/5 stars. Completely jampacked with information and utterly fascinating. I love his writing style too - he sounds the same in print as he does when lecturing or being interviewed and it's very comfortable to read.
Thomas Halliday - Otherlands 3.75/5 stars. I've been interested in pre-history and paleobiology this year, we've watched a lot of dinosaur/geology/evolution-type documentaries and this had been on my list to read for a while. Beautifully descriptive, I learned a huge amount and it didn't matter that I didn't follow every technical/scientific term, it didn't detract from the book.
Matthew Reilly - Scarecrow (Shane Schofield #3) 4.25/stars. My love for these books, let me show you it. They're just one big ridiculous OTT action sequence, and I am here for that! Although, if he could stop killing everyone that isn't Scarecrow, that would be great!
Joanne Fluke - Strawberry Shortcake Murder (Hannah Swensen #2) 4/5 stars and I am thoroughly enjoying this series, all the characters and all the recipes. I've got #3 out of the library already!
What do you think you’ll read next?
Sharon Blackie - If Women Rose Rooted
Joanne Fluke - Blueberry Muffin Murder (Hannah Swensen #3)
Ruth Goodman - How To Be A Victorian
Matthew Reilly - Hell Island (Shane Scofield #3.5)
Matthew Reilly - The Secret Runners of New York
(We covered my love for his books, yes? LOL)
