Only three books last week - 7th to 13th April - and two of those were audiobooks.
Thief of Time is one I first read as a teenager. It's a Discworld novel which explains any lack of continuity in the main series in a way which is rather genius. The auditors show up again, along with Susan. Very enjoyable.
The Cuckoo's Calling is the first in JK Rowling's Cormoran Strike series. I like to imagine that Harry Potter's life as an auror is something like this. The fact that JK Rowling wrote a hard-boiled detective novel makes this fanfic, where Dudley grew up to be a gay social worker and Hermione is a wizard social worker, while Harry is a grizzled old cop, more legitimate.
Pretty Little Mistakes is a choose your own adventure book. It has a branching plotline, so each branch is rather short, maybe seven entries at most. I like the way that 'good' choices don't always work out, and you're not always punished for bad choices - that's what life is like. Sometimes you're gay, which is another nice choice.
