In Which We Discuss Books I Read in my 27th Year, Week 47/52

Eight books last week - 29th June to 6th July.  Four audiobooks, two of them new and two of them rereads.

The Undomestic Goddess and Wee Free Men were both rereads, as was Mary Poppins (via Kindle).  I really need to make some gingerbread!

I listened to The Fire Sermon for the first time and really enjoyed it.  I'm taking my time looking up the second one because the third isn't out yet.

The Dragons of Crumbling Castle was a collection of Terry Pratchett's short stories, most of which were unfamiliar to me.  I'm less of a fan of Pratchett's early work, though this was very enjoyable.

The Girl in the Photograph has been on my unread pile for a while; it focuses on the same issues as The Yellow Wallpaper.

I finally got around to reading (well, listening to) The Maze Runner on a recommendation from a friend.  It took me a while to get into it, but I went out and borrowed the sequels from the library afterwards.

Finally, Snow White Must Die; an interesting German crime novel.

In Which We Discuss Books I Read in my 26th Year, Week 41/52

From 19th May to 26th May - 8 books this week.  A longer commute and no internet will do that.

Fortune's Fool is the 3rd book in the 500 Kingdoms series.  It mixes the little mermaid with some traditional Japanese fairytales.

The Undomestic Goddess I listened to as an audiobook while putting my new bed together.  It's like all Sophie Kinsella's - funny, slightly scatty heroines who come through when necessary.

The Outskirter's Secret is the second in Rosemary Kirstein's Steerswoman series.  It's the kind of eighties fantasy-but-really-sci-fi that I adore.

Growing Veg & Fruit  is a very nice little guide.

The Heir is Kiera Cass's fourth Selection novel.  As a series it's something of a cross between Cinderella and The Bachelorette.  This wasn't as strong as the earlier novels.

The Last Enchantment is the final part of Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy.  I'm pretty sure I first read it fifteen years ago; I've certainly owned it for that long.

Ready Player One is a book I first read almost a year ago.  It's somewhat excellent.  It's also the book I read at the bookclub where I met the guy I now live with.

Finally, The Snow Queen.  The fourth part of the 500 Kingdom's series.  Not my favourite, but a passably entry.
