New Book Challenge 2008 - 31/52 - Review - Beth's Diary
Second of two updates. Full list as always is here.
This Short by EBD is in some ways a melding of the Chalet School and her Geography readers, when the CS girls go on a trip to Devon/Cornwall and Beth Chester keeps a Diary (an odd choice, I thought - using that era surely Gwensi with her aspirations to be a writer would have been a better choice...?). A lot of the information does seem to come straight from travel guides, and there's no real stamp of individuality on it...
Not sure what will be next - might see if I can finish that Margaret George novel set during the Trojan War... however I do also have Kate Mosse's latest on the to-read pile, and Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear.
