shark_hat Gail Carson Levine, Ella Enchanted
Dell Shannon, Kill With Kindness
Dell Shannon, Intent To Kill
Armando Iannucci, Facts and Fancies
Elizabeth Moon, Remnant Population
Flann O'Brian, Myles Before Myles
Mercedes Lackey, The Fairy Godmother (shuttup it's an addiction, and actually I think the worldbuilding in this one is totally worth the clunky prose)
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
Dell Shannon, Deuces Wild (this is from 1975 and the series is starting to get to the point where it changes from "the POV is on the police and naturally they are against changes in society" to "the author is not keeping up with changes in society", cf Agatha Christie after the 50s, but the crimes are still intriguing.)
L. Sprague du Camp, The Ancient Engineers
Keith Waterhouse, Mondays, Thursdays
Gerald Durrell, The Talking Parcel
Sarah Caudwell, The Sybil In Her Grave
Robin McKinley, Spindle's End
Dell Shannon, Knave of Hearts (echhh. Not the murders, the sentimentality)
J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (I liked the epilogue actually)
John M. Ford, Heat Of Fusion and Other Stories
Michael Green, The Art of Coarse Acting
Stanton Gardner (ed), The Captain's Best Mate: the journal of Mary Chipman Lawrence on the Whaler Addison 1856-1860
"Nicey and Wifey", Nice Cup Of Tea and a Sit Down (the book of the website)
Mark Steel, Reasons To Be Cheerful
Donna Leon, Death at La Fenice
Charlotte Macleod, Balloon Man
Lois Bujold, The Sharing Knife: Beguilement (hope the library has vol 2 in!)
Edmund Crispin, Buried for Pleasure
Dylan Thomas and John Davenport, The Death of the King's Canary (as this is a sixty-year-old roman a clef, a table of who they all are would have been good. It was amusing anyway.)
Melissa Scott, The Kindly Ones
Ysabeau Wilce, Flora Segunda
Holiday withdrawal symptoms... I just opened my lunchbox and had an internal dialogue that went, approximately,
- What is this shit?
- Um, this is what I've had for lunch for about three years now.
- Pah! Where is the seafood???
