It's my half birthday!
I read nine books last week - 4th - 10th February. Four audiobooks, three books on my kindle, and two library books.
The library books were Shopaholic to the Rescue and The Waste Lands, which I wrote a longer post about here. Shopaholic to the Rescue wasn't quite as bad as the other books in the Shopaholic series. I really liked the first three; I read them as a teenager and they were amazing. But then they kept coming. On and on and on and on and....
I did like Step by Wicked Step. It's one of Anne Fine's children novels, and after listening to Charm School and Flour Babies last week I thought I'd give this one a go.
The Imperfectionists and Little Star are both books I've had on my kobo for years. I finally felt it was time to get around to them. They were both pretty good when I got going, although Little Star was far, far too gory for my taste.
I actually read Little Star because I used a random number generator to pick which book to read from my unread pile next. I did that again when I finished and it picked Middlesex so I'll start that tomorrow.
I reread Matched because it seemed time to finish the series. I first read it a couple of years ago. I've borrowed the second and third parts of the trilogy from the library, so I'll soon know how it turned out.
Witch World is a book I've listened to before. I love Christopher Pike. He's like Stephen King for teenagers and with slightly more of a sci-fi bent.
The Telling Error was another book I'd read before. It's the latest book in the Spilling CID series until The Narrow Bed comes out...tomorrow! I just went to check. Didn't realise how close it was, thought it was ages away. Yay!
Finally, The Ice Twins. A weird little psychological thriller. Pretty good, though I forget what made me choose it.
