Labyrinth of the Spirits, Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Very nice. I read the first three Cemetery of Forgotten Books many years ago (this is the fourth) and remember enjoying them, but have forgotten most else about them.
Snow Leopard, Peter Matthisen. A reread. Fantastic book.
The Peregrine, J. A. Baker. Highly recommended nature diary. I liked it, but not as much as I expected from the reviews.
Love Triangle, Matt Parker. His usual math related fun.
Nevermor Morgan Crow triology, Jessica Townsend. Target audience is pre-teens, but other than the age of the characters could be much older. Magic oriented fun.
Ilium/Olympos, Dan Simmons. I really like Ilium and liked Olympos almost as much.
Current - Shakespeare After All, Marjorie Garber. Analysis of the title subject and his plays. Seems very well done so far. I wonder why Harold Bloom's version is not available as an ebook.
