In Which We Discuss Books I Read in my 27th Year, Week 44/52

Seven books this week - Thursday 9th June to Wednesday 15th!

Four audiobooks, all of which I'd read before, though I hadn't listened to The Colour of Magic or The Lottie Project before.  I used to own paperback copies of both.

Evil Games I read for a bookclub which I didn't attend.  It was pretty good!  Marsons used 'female' and 'male' a little less, and her sentence structure was more grammatically correct, though still not perfect.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is another one I've read before.  I love Dale Carnegie's writing style, and I've found the advice in the book to be very useful.  Some of it may seem obvious to someone who is good at talking to people, and I'd say that's a compliment.  Some of us need to be told these things!

Finally, Northanger Abbey.  I'm reading this for a book group; I suggested something by Austen, as I've never gotten along with her, but I know lots of people love her books, so clearly I'm missing something.

I loved Northanger Abbey.  It amazed me how little has changed, socially speaking.
