Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 2898 comments This week I read three books. So, here's what I read, along with my book reviews.

The Dalai Lama's Cat and the Power of Meow
by David Michie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is another excellent addition to this series of books, which manages to be entertaining, while at the same time reminding you of the importance of
mindfulness, regardless of whether you're a Buddhist, follow another spiritual path, or follow none at all.

The Dalai Lama's Cat and the Four Paws of Spiritual Success
by David Michie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is another wonderful addition to this series, which I was eager to read after having enjoyed the experience of reading the previous books so much.
It's an entertaining read, but also carries some serious and thought-provoking lessons, which anyone seeking to learn more about mindfulness may wish to
take note of, whether you're a Buddhist, follow a different spiritual path, or follow no spiritual path at all. Not to mention, it's a great one for cat
lovers in general.

Deceived
by Katrina Cope
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was already excitedly waiting for this book, having enjoyed the previous ones, and the eagerness to learn what would happen only increased when I started
reading it. It's a gripping read, with a main character you can't help rooting for and feeling for, not to mention wonderful worldbuilding, and a whole
load of other fantastic characters. Awesome ending to an amazing series, which fans of dragons and Norse mythology will love.
*NOTE: I was given a free advanced copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review. This fact has in no way influenced my opinion of the
book, nor the contents of this review.

Christine, the book was disappointing. See my message just above yours (#2542) to click on my review.

So what was it; Noddy in Toytown or War and Peace? And most importantly, what did you think of it? Reading books is more than cutting notches in bedposts.

Cphe, let me know what you think of The Lambs of London. I have it on my TBR. I enjoyed Ackroyd's Thames: Sacred River, so I'm interested to see what you think of The Lambs of London.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments Finished The Pagan Lord, book 7 in The Saxon series by Bernard Cornwell.
It's not the type of book I normally read, but I figure it's good to step outside of my comfort zone, occasionally. It's got a lot of gory battles and chest-thumping males. It is well-researched historical fiction about a turbulent time in England's history. I enjoyed it.

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 2898 comments This week I read four books. So, here's what I read, along with my book reviews.

The Gate
by D.L. Cross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a fantastic fast-paced and action packed read, with some great characters, and a plot that explores some interesting legends and theories.

The Scout: Dark Crossings
by D.L. Cross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an excellent short read for fans of the kind of sci-fi stories involving aliens, with a delightful twist. Highly recommended.

Silvery Earth Kids and Related Short Stories
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It was fantastic to get to read an accessable version of the strips I'd been hearing about on the author's blog, and I enjoyed them very much. The bonus
stories were a great addition as well, and I also enjoyed reading those. I always love reading stories from this world, and meeting all the characters
from the various races - magical and otherwise - and these were no exception.

Magical Friends
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an excellent book in its own right, but even better in my opinion for allowing us to find out what happens to the characters we learned to love
in "Silvery Earth Kids" years later.

Pam Baddeley | 683 comments Review catch up since start of the year:

Book 8 of the Indigo series by Louise Cooper - Aisling - reviewed: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2784951413

Then a Thomas Burnett Swann - The Tournament of Thorns - reviewed: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3134110298

and finally another Swann, The Weirwoods - reviewed: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3158569984.

The Cooper in particular was disappointing as it was the culmination of an eight book series. I had enjoyed books four to seven very much.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments Finished The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad, translated by Ingrid Christopherson.
She is a Norwegian journalist who spent 4 months in the home of a Kabul bookseller. It was strong in some areas, but I wish she had let the Afghan women speak for themselves instead of interpreting and mediating for them.
