Book catch-up

For ages I've been meaning to post a few comments about HP6. For the sake of the spoiler averse among us I'll put them behind a cut - ( Harry Potter 6 review )

Other than that I've been catching up on some of Lindsey Davis' Falco novels, which are great fun, as always.

James Patterson's latest Alex Cross novel, London Bridges is far more outlandish than previous offerings and makes me suspect that he really needs to retire the series.

Laurel Winter's Growing Wings is a sweet coming of age story which I enjoyed, but almost feels like a prologue. I'd like to know what happens next.

Ian McDonald's River of Gods was as good as everyone told me it was (and I think would have been a better winner of the Clarke Award than Iron Council which is not China's best), although for obscure reasons it did put me in mind of Greg Bear's Queen of Angels.

Anway, enough of all that for today!

So long for the week

Right, we're off tomorrow morning for a (hopefully) very relaxing week on Alderney (in the Channel Islands). Back Sunday afternoon. We probably won't have internet access while we're there so we'll be out of the touch in the meantime.

Have fun while we're gone!
