In Which We Discuss Books I Read in my 27th Year, Week 50/52
Nine books last week - 21st to the 27th of June. And only two weeks till my birthday!
Eight o those were audio books, seven of which I've read before because I've run out of new ones. Payday on the 8th of August, and my subscription rolls over on the 21st...so a bit of time until I get my hands on some new ones.
I'm listening to the Spilling CID series at random right now, because I do enjoy the mysteries. Sophie Hannah's stories remind me of that little story about the woman who meets the man of her dreams at her grandmother's funeral and then goes home and murders her great uncle, so he'll be invited to that one. Completely insane characters, but the mystery somehow works.
I liked The Red Zeppelin a lot more than I thought I would. It's the second in a series, and involves a lady MI5 agent who disguises herself as a man. It's set in the 1930s, which makes it somewhat reminiscent of the Gas-Lit Empire series. I loved the performance of the voice actress, who does a proper transatlantic accent throughout. I'm not usually a fan of the genre, but this was rather good!
Finally, Stiletto, the second part in the Checquy series. A very long wait, and a bit of a slog to get through; it's pretty long! I felt like, at times, the author forgot what he'd already explained and repeated himself a bit.
