October Books
43: The Jupiter Myth Lindsay Davis
A great Falco novel, and as I have been listening to the first of the next generation novels on audiobook, a good reminder of Albia's origins. I do love some of the scenes between Falco and Helena, and the children - so funny.
44: Half the World Joe Abercrombie
The second of his new trilogy. I can't wait for the third to come out in paperback. This has great characters and a great plot. I love the realism of this fantasy world. Also, the mix of humour and grimmness is very effective.
45: The Sunrise Victoria Hislop
I didn't like this as much as the previous two of hers that I have read, although it had grown on me by the end. I found the stories of the 'ordinary' Famagusta families to be far more interesting than that of the hotel owners. The whole history of what happened to Cyprus (and not long ago), and how things are now, is so tragic.
