Hello everyone, first post
![]() About half way through REDACTION: EXTINCTION LEVEL by Linda Andrews. 77p on Kindle, and I am loving it. It's such a lovely feeling, enjoying a book so much that you just can't wait to be able to pick it up and read it. The best thing about this book is there are more in the series, all of them more than reasonably priced. |

I've just finished The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory. The third book in her Wars of the Roses series, it tells the story from the point of view of Jacquetta of Luxembourg. Her first husband was Henry VI's uncle, the much older John Duke of Bedford. After the Duke of Bedford's death she went on to marry his squire Richard Woodville, presumably for love, which caused an international scandal.
I didn't enjoy the first half of the book much. A lot was made of Jacquetta's supposed ancestress the mythical Melusina and also of Jacquetta's "psychic powers". Fortunately the second half of the book concentrated more on the political goings on and was much better. I've now started to read The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. This is a story about a childless couple struggling to survive the winter in Alaska in the 1920s and is based on a Russian fairytale. |

The Bat by Jo Nesbo, the first Harry Hole but certainly not the best, I think Jo went on holiday to Australia and then had the idea of writing up his experience as a detective novel, it did establish Hole though so it paid off in the end.

Stephen King's Pet Sematary enjoying it so far probably the scariest book of his that I've read so far.

"Breakthrough" the fourth novel by John Middleton Murry, Jr. but the first by 'Richard Cowper', the pseudonym he adopted for his science fiction writings. This one's about ESP.

Just finished 'Life Of Pi' by Yann Martel. Riveting read, but you have to get through the first hundred pages to where the the real drama starts. Painful reading, where one reads of seeing animals kill each other, and a battle of wills between Pi and Richard Parker.

Finally finished Perdido Street Station. Quite enjoyed it but won't be rushing out to buy any of the authors other books.
So my kindle book is still "Dark Places" and for my next print book I've started "Dark Blood" by Stuart Mcbride - one of the Logan Mcrae series. Quite enjoying it so far but I find this series is a bit hit and miss. |

Ever After by Kim Harrison. It is the 11th book in her Hollows/Rachel Morgan series and although I doubt it is going to be one of my favourites I am still thoroughly enjoying it.

Just started The Complex by Cathy E Zaragoza. It's the first in a series, and it's a YA post apocalyptic/dystopian novel.
I recently got lucky with the first 2 books in a trilogy by Ann Aguirre, Enclave and Outpost, and then usually find a few duds before reading another book in the same genre that is really good. But I am really enjoying this one. It's about a girl called Helena who lives in a sealed off community as she and everyone else there have a highly contagious disease, so they are all quarantined until a cure is found (unique to each person) and one by one over many years they are released back into the 'real world'. But as is often the case, all is not as it seems in Helena's world, and it's taking lots of interesting twists and turns. Edited to add: It's only £1.95 on Kindle at the moment, so if you like this genre, go get it! Also I noticed I actually bought this book back in May last year, rather embarrassing that I buy so many books that I forget about them for months on end.. ![]()

She-Wolves by Helen Castor.
Absolutely loving it, and put a whole new perspective on the Norman Dynasty. Got The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Dr David Starkey next- I'm on a bit of a feminist royalty drive at the moment! |

Recently finished Watching the Dark by Peter Robinson, excellent DCI Banks story; and am now into Tuesday's Gone, by Nicci French, which is really gripping.
