Still ploughing my way through Dominion by C.J. Sansom, the festive period interrupted my reading, but the book seems to drags a little.

I have just finished reading 'Falling Angels' by Tracy Chevalier.
Enjoyed it and didn't think I would. |

i am currently reading an anthology called 'Fearie Tales'. Editor Stephen Jones has tasked a handful of proven writers of fantasy fiction to write their own versions of classic fairy tales. Their stories are preceded by the original Grimm Kinder- und Hausmarchen.
The authors include Ramsey Campbell, Neil Gaiman, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Michael Marshall Smith and Garth Nix, to name but a few. It's quite interesting. |

Finished Emile Zola's Germinal. I assume my free kindle version wasn't the best of translations and it was a hard slog for the first half, but rewarding with the vivid portrayal of how the strike affected the miners and their communities in late C19 France.

Just started 'A Plea of Insanity' by Priscilla Masters. Seems pretty readable so far, so I'm hoping it'll be a decent crime read.
I've also just finished 'Bed' by David Whitehouse, which was OK I suppose, but he uses way too many similes for my liking - seems like there's one in every sentence. Everything is 'like...' something else (even when it really isn't). Example: some French loaves in the supermarket - according to him, they are like monkeys' arms, reaching out from behind the bars of a zoo. WHAT?! Total guff. |

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, audiobook read by Stephen Briggs. I first read this back in the 90s and am enjoying it just as much the second time round.

Dear Lumpy, letters to a disobedient daughter. Letters written by Roger Mortimer and sent to his daughter. I've also read Dear Lupin which are the letters he sent to his son. He had a way with words.

Just read Patricia Cornwell's bone bed, now reading Dust. I am enjoying it, but sometimes find her medical terms quite hard to follow.
