I'm finally done with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . What a terrible book! Never thought that this would be my first ever 1 star read.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm now reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie to get me out of the reading slump caused by Hitchhiker's.

As a nostalgic break from the 21st century, I revisited the well-loved children's classic The Velveteen Rabbit Or, How Toys Become Real written by Margery Williams Bianco nearly a century ago. What an excellent visit that was!

In spite of the title, After The Carnage is NOT a grisly thriller but a mixed collection of short stories by talented indigenous Aussie author Tara June Winch, who won the prestigious Miles Franklin award for her latest novel, The Yield. These are urban, international, and varied.

I think I gave it a 3*.

[Leena]

yea, I was in the minority here. But the book was so predictably boring I couldn't bring my self to rate it higher. (:

I started a new UF series by the husband-wife team, Ilona Andrews. Burn for Me kicks off their Hidden Legacy series. The bookcover is horrendous, hiding an action packed mystery in an alternate universe. The social components are what I find interesting.

I've read all 6 of Jane Austen's finished novels. The best place to start depends on your tastes. Many Austen heroines are in their late teens or early 20s so marriage is an enormous topic.
Most people start with because it has wittier conversation and far more family drama.
I liked it as well but my favorite is - which has an older heroine, in her late 20s, and is about second chance love.
compares an older sister's rational common sense and a middle sister's preference to act driven only by her feelings.
is about a teenaged female's first social adventure away from her country life and how her imagination goes wild. It's somewhat of a parody of gothic horror books popular at Jane's time.
is about a young woman who is rich enough that her marriage isn't the main topic on her mind and she meddles in others' lives because she knows best.
is the most serious family drama novel and the one novel that I believe is under appreciated.

I just finished Anxious People . It was good, but it wasn't my favorite. Here's my review.

I'm about 1/3 into The Lake House , which is really good so far but it does jump around a bit, and I'm starting Don't Look for Me .
