carolanne5So since last time ...
Books 29/31 were Darren Shan's Tunnels of Blood, Vampire Mountain and Trials of Death, continuing the YA adventures of the teenage vampire assistant; simple but entertaining.
Book 32: Simon Blackburn's Think - a whistle stop guide to the big questions in philosophy, a little basic but a good primer on the subject.
Book 33: Karen Armstrong's Battle for God - a brilliant scholarly history of the development of fundamentalism in the Western religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Historically fascinating and elucidating, can't recommend enough.
Book 34: Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography - a fascinating insight into the mind of a utterly unique individual, should be compulsory reading.
Books 35/37: Peter F Hamilton's The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God - as my good friend so aptly put it a trilogy with two and a half excellent books.
Books 38/45: The first eight books of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series; addictive amusing supernatural horror slash murder mysteries.
Book 46: TQ's Keep your Bones Safe - A first draft of major new author, oh yes, nods.
Book 47: Marie Phillips Gods Behaving Badly - What if the Olympian gods were still hanging around today? Magical mayhem and rom com.
... and I'm up to date.
