History of the Rain by Niall Williams, audiobook narrated by Jennifer McGrath.
A young Irish girl is confined to bed due to a serious illness. She meanders her way through her family history by way of her father's extensive collection of books, and with references to salmon fishing.

I hated this for the first half hour or so but it's growing on me now. Enjoyable writing so long as you don't mind going with the flow. Omniscient narrators annoy me though, I guess she's about 15 and I really doubt that she'd know all the ins and outs of her parents' lives, let alone those of previous generations.

I'm reading The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths. It's the first in a series of books featuring Ruth Galloway. She lives alone in a remote part of Norfolk and lectures on archaeology at a local university. When human remains are discovered on a beach near her home she is asked to assist in determining how long ago the victim died. She subsequently becomes drawn in to the investigation of the disappearance of two young girls ten years apart.

I noticed this series being mentioned on here and decided to give the first book a go. I'm enjoying it so far, Ruth is a good character, quirky but believable, and works well with the grumpy Detective Harry Nelson.

Avenger of Rome by Douglas Jackson.

Book 3 in the Gaius Valerius Verrens series.

First 2 are fantastic so very much looking forward to this one.

Elephant Moon by John Sweeney - it's about Burma in WW2.

Not brilliant but a good read nonetheless - I like to learn a bit of history through a novel rather than a text book.

I had to backtrack to look it up - I never know or remember titles anymore now that I read through a Kindle.

I know I;ve read that but for the life of me I can't remember what it's about. Is it WW1?

Finished Anthony Trollope's The Eustace Diamonds. Trollope novels take a while to get going but this was extremely trying. It was as if At couldn't decide where his plot was going. The entire first volume could have been edited to a quarter of the text. Once it got going it was fine Trollope fare. The Palliser series nt a patch on the Barsetshire chronicles though. In the latter the recurring characters are interwoven in to the narrative. In the Palliser books the characters are shoe-horned in to satisfy the reader of the time.

Finished Angela Marsons's Silent Scream. First in the DI Kim Stone series. Promising start. Well rounded characterizations. More subtle plotting in the future and this series could be a success.

Finished Pigs Might Fly the biography of Pink Floyd by Mark Blake. Well researched guide to one of the biggest rock bands of all time. Gives a good insight into the Floyd/Roger Waters split and tries to explore the disintegration of Syd Barrett.

The Fault In Our Stars - John Green
Mixed feelings about this. The dialogue between Hazel and Augustus made me feel I was reading an adult novel instead of YA one. Do teenagers really talk like that? Despite that, the growing friendship that developed was immensely moving, plus the loving protectiveness of their respective parents.
