I finished reading the sixth and last instalment of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, City of Heavenly Fire. I don't typically like YA, but this author writes it well. There will be a(nother) spinoff series to this one so I'll be putting in on my TBR list.
Next up is Black Coffee, #7 in Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot series. Apparently this was written first as a play and then adapted to a novel. It doesn't quite have the same feel as other Christie novels.

I liked the Cassandra Clare books too, which was a surprise to me given her internet notoriety. Haven't read that one yet, though - may have to pick it up in the future.
I'm currently struggling with
Unseen Academicals. I'm not hating it or anything but when I put it down I have very little urge to come back to it. I know many consider that Pratchett's works from around this one onwards (give or take a few) have declined somewhat in quality but I don't know if I can bear to give up reading them. Oh, the difficulties...
