Red Sonja character created by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan) but the graphic novel sword and sorcery character created by Roy Thomas.

Tremendous adventure.

A classic work by an acclaimed Indian author, but it needed better translation.

Christmas Ever After (Ever After Street, #4) by Jaimie Admans
I'm not fond of reading Christmas books too early, but this was a September release, and a Jaimie Admans book at that! As lovely as all her other works.

PattyMacDotComma | 3310 comments Acclaimed Aussie author Michael Robotham's Joe O'Loughlin series is always excellent. The Wreckage takes place between Baghdad, London, and Washington and would be a great read on its own.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9985 comments Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody by Patrick Ness is such a fun read that I can forgive Robert G Slade’s woeful Australian accent for Principal Wombat and give his rendition of the audio 5★s anyway.
