message 826: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 581 comments Just realised I haven't updated for a while. My recent reads have been:
18. Time of Day – A Night to Remember by Walter Lord - 3★ - about the night the Titanic sank
24. Paranormal Being – Away With the Fairies by Kerry Greenwood - 3★ - no. 11 in the Phryne Fisher series
25. Occupation - The Lady's Maid: My Life in Service by Rosina Harrison - 3.5★ - a slice of real-life Downton Abbey-style drama!

I'm now at 6/25, which should mean I'm on track to finish if I keep up the same pace throughout the year... (And I'm the Kathryn from Australia, Cassandra)

message 838: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed my selection for #20 Emotion - Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins. Good end to the series and I nice return to Higgins' style. There were some funny bits amidst the romance and human drama. Good character development and nice to get updates on the characters from the first book. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

message 845: by Cassandra (last edited Mar 22, 2015 11:54AM) (new)

Cassandra | 5832 comments Pat, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances. Neil Gaiman is the author I selected for the complete works yearly challenge, so I actually just finished one of his other short story collections, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders. If you like the manageable format but want to get into his novels, I recommend The Ocean at the End of the Lane because it's short but really strong.

Welcome to the challenge, Anna!


message 846: by Pat (new)

Pat Bryan | 98 comments Thanks Cassandra-as a bibliophile I was especially "taken" by the stories based on concepts of books and imagination-your namesake story,July Tale and The Man who forgot Ray Bradbury.Certainly different to much of the dark fantasy/horror I usually read....
