Hmm... I see the UK price is £4.49 (about $7.20). That's more reasonable, but not quite low enough to tempt me (even if I didn't have a massive TBR list).
Pricing is always important to me, but with over 100 unread books on my Kindle...I find myself less inclined to buy the higher priced books unless I already love the author. Some books I just have to have--but that's only about 6 authors and one of those is always near the 5 dollar mark or under so it isn't that big of a deal.

I have the paper books of Earths Children and I haven't read them yet. I hear they are pretty good though.
So many books, so little time!

A decent enough first contact story, but although the situation was interesting, I never really got interested in the characters, and the resolution seemed to come too swiftly and easily after the build-up.


Next: Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie. Her 26th book, and another of my collection bought back in February 2010.

Finished The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths, and am eagerly looking forward to more of this mystery series featuring the 40ish forensic anthropologist Ruth Galloway. The evocative description of the Norfolk salt marshes had me Googling for images and dreaming about a walking tour vacation.

Google also led me to Scene of the Crime, a blog with interviews with mystery authors for whom a strong spirit of place becomes a character in its own right.

Next is The Crooked Hinge by John Dickson Carr.

I just finished a weird book that was more a curiosity than anything else. It's about a guy that says he went to hell for 23 minutes. I thought at first it was some kind of novel, then I realized it was someone claiming it actually happened to him and as the book went on, I realized it was just a fundamentalist way to scare people into taking religion. Just a below-the-belt exercise in proselytism. A very bad and dishonest book in general.
