It’s been a difficult week. If you read my BotW post last Tuesday, you’ll know that my mind’s not quite in the right space for critical reading at the moment, so this week’s diet has been big on lighter, funner books and re-reading old favourites rather than some of the more unknown quantities on the to-read pile.
Read:
The Necromancer by Jonathan L Howard
Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich
Conditional Love by Cathy Bramley
Death before Decag by Caroline Fardig
Full Tilt by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes
The Dead in their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley
Started:
Masquerade by Hannah Fielding
The Life and Loves of a He-Devil by Graham Norton
Still reading:
Master of Shadows by Neil Oliver
Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray
The Tea Planter’s Wife by Dinah Jeffries
My other response to the events of last weekend has been to buy books. Lots of books. Four second-hand online (because you need to hit that £10 free delivery limit) and then a whole bunch from my favourite publisher of classic school stories (the fabulous Girls Gone By) and a whole load more from two of my favourite book dealers. And I’m not even sorry about it.
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
How is The Tea Planters Wife? I have seen it around a lot and I like the cover.
Amanda.
Not far enough through yet to make a proper judgement, but good so far.
