Two nights ago I finished New Year Island, which was a great read. Normally I'm not one to guess who the bad guy is but this book kept me guessing.
I'm now half way through The Anonymous Venetian, third book in the Commissario Brunetti series, my favourite cozy series at the moment. I love it how the mystery at times is less important than than Venice, its citizens, food and Guido's family. It reminds me a bit f Midsomer Murder (the tv series at least). |

The second Wilt is good too. I'll let you know how I get on with Kindred in a few days (takes me about 3 or 4 days to get through a book nowadays - how I miss my carefree youth when I could easily get through 2 or 3 a day).

I'm reading With The Lightnings by David Drake. I'm loving the main characters and finally there's some action happening in the story. It's about time I read some more of the Baen books I've been collecting.

I've just finished "Sorceress of Darshiva", the 4th book in David Eddings's "Mallorean" fantasy series. Classic fantasy, and highly recommended.
On next to "The Listerdale Mystery", a book of Agatha Christie short stories. |

Oooh, I really enjoyed Shadow of Saganami and the follow up, Storm from the Shadows. Both a great diversion from the main line while keeping in the same universe. I really liked the new characters introduced in Shadow of Saganami. |

Yes. Good characters, and generally much tighter writing. Plus I'm really tired of making the Havenites the bad guys, it's time for someone really evil. But hardly any time at all to read or even listen to it. Busy trying to get caught back up on my work. Going from no work for way too long to now being WAY overloaded. And I can't afford to screw up any deadlines.

I'm currently reading Scarlet by Stephen R. Lawhead, second book in his King Raven trilogy. It's a retelling of Robin Hood, but set about a century earlier and in Wales rather than Sheffield. The first book was told mostly from the perspective of Bran y Hud (Robin Hood). This book is set a year after the end of the first book and is told by Will Scarlet. It took me a while to get used to Will Scarlet's way of speaking, but once I got into it it's a good story.
