Nearly done with West with Giraffes.

The classic Graham Greene novel, The Quiet American, is up there with my favourites. Vietnam in the early 1950s - what a mix of people and a mess of politics and war, plus a love story.

I've enjoyed some real winners in the Amazon Original Stories series, but this was not one of them. Oh. What. Fun. by Chandler Baker seems to have amused other readers. Not me.

I can now post my review of At The End of Everything by Marieke Nijkamp. This is a YA/Teen apocalyptic novel that is an emotional ride with moments that range from heartbreaking and desperate to suspenseful and hopeful.

Total reading slump omg

Her Second Death (Bree Taggert #0.5) is a short-story prequel to Melinda Leigh's homicide detective Bree Taggert crime series. I had never read any of this author's work before, but I enjoyed this introduction enough to consider reading the series.

I read enough of Double Blind to agree with those who thought Edward St. Aubyn was showing off and being preachy. One or the other, I might manage. Moving on!

I can now post my review of Sea Storm by Andrew Mayne. This is the third book in the Underwater Investigation Unit series. The memorable first chapter sets the stage for what is to come. The well-written story and the incredible characters in a unique setting, combined with action that is astonishing, culminates in an amazing conclusion. Yes, the action was over-the-top, but I enjoyed it.

I’m on night blood by Elly Blake

[PattyMacDotComma]

There should be lots of books like this for kids (and their grown-ups). It's beautiful, it's informative, it's scary, and it's funny! What's not to like about Nenek Tata and the Mangrove Menace (set in Sabah, Malaysia) by Judith Vun Price

This has to be one of the most remarkable debuts I've ever read! The Booker Prize people liked it, too. If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor has a mysterious event at its heart. Who did what?

Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano

While not as funny as the series' debut, it was good to catch up with Finlay and her antics.

I enjoyed Aussie investigative journo John Bailey's second outing so much, State of Fear, that I'm now reading the third one! Tim Ayliffe is an excellent writer whose characters are hunting terrorists - right now!

So far I am quite enjoying it. I usually struggle with nonfiction but seabiscuit has kept my attention and I absolutely adore horses.

I love how absolutely everyone in that book had some horrendous life hurdle to overcome and yet it all came together.

I’m going to library at the weekend so hopefully I’ll get some good finds for the holidays

This book is unique. Not just kind of different - unique. Naoki Higashida wrote a memoir The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism, which is not only informative but entertaining! For a kid who couldn't "communicate", he sure learned well, and he has a good sense of humour, too.

There are so many versions of A Christmas Carol that is is hard to say how they compare to the book. Some are closer than others. The book is good. Dickens was able to add a lot of detail and set the scene really well for such a short book. I don't often enjoy classics; I tend to find them overly dramatic and the really flowery language doesn't work well for me. However, this is one of the few that I enjoy.

If you haven't seen it, The Man Who Invented Christmas was really good. It is a movie about Charles Dickens and the writing of A Christmas Carol.

I've just finished A Christmas Carol and Keep Moving: And Other Truths About Living Well Longer.

I'm reading Reckless Girls and I've just started A Study in Scarlet Women.
