07. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass: The Looking Glass War (George Smiley, #4) - 05 Sep 2016, 3/5
Just finished #14 - All Things Cease to Appear by Elizabeth Brundage. This book had an incredibly slow start, particularly given that it started with a murder. The author seemed to be trying too hard. It picked up a bit towards the end, but it was a struggle for me to read. Not worth reading. 2 stars15/25
