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 49/52

Only two books last week - 14th July to 21st July.  Mirror Dance, which was new to me, and The Wee Free Men.

The Wee Free Men I have read before, though this was the first time I'd listened to the audiobook.  I quite enjoyed it.  I'd like to listen to the rest of the Tiffany books (all of which I've read before).  I'm not allowed to buy any more until I've finished the 5-6 I've not listened to, though.

Mirror Dance I read for a bookclub.  Which was on the 14th, two or three days before I actually finished the damn book.

It started a little slow, and I do feel like part of that was because it was the 9th in the series.  I liked it a lot more when it picked up and Mark really came into his own, though apparently he's not in many of the other books.
