I just bought Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake today. At the moment i'm just collecting them and haven't read any of the books. Once I get the rest i'll start reading the whole series.

I have never read any of Gaiman but would appreciate a recommendation for a first read??

Neverwhere or American gods would be my picks, also The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I wish I could read Neverwhere for the first time again.

Started Heartbreaker by Claudia Dey on Saturday. It's about a woman who escapes from a survivalist commune and is narrated in three parts, by her daughter, her dog (yes, really) and a teenage boy from the commune.

I'm only a few chapters in and haven't a rashers what's actually happening, but enjoying it so far. Dey's narrative style is quite different - think Joyce Carol Oates on acid.

Not a book, I know, but a motivation to read more.

Think I'll manage about 50-52 this year which I'm happy with.

Started Vox by Christina Dalcher yesterday. It's giving me serious rage, I'm actually wondering if I'll be able to finish it. It's speculative fiction very much in the vein of The Handmaid's Tale, set in a very near future where an ultra-conservative government have reinstated the ideology of separate spheres and women are confined to domestic roles and have had their speech constrained to 100 words a day and aren't allowed to read or write. It sounds a bit gimmicky but it's actually very well-written and like all good speculative fiction, scarily plausible. I can feel my frown lines getting deeper with every page.

Spook Street by Mick Herron

It is part of the ‘Jackson Lamb’ series of espionage thrillers, which are all absolutely excellent.

Fast paced, gripping, clever and also very funny. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

About 3/4 of the way through Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty. I'm really liking it, but the first 150 pages or so could do with a trimming.

Just finished "Thirteen" by Steve Cavanagh, right up my alley of courtroom/serial killer bestseller types. Would recommend and will be on the look out for more of the Eddie Flynn novels.
Just started into "Children of the Revolution" by Peter Robinson, seems to be your standard detective investigation novel so far.

Fermet last Theorem its one of the best popular science book. It is peppered with a few maths puzzles which are enough to get your head going but not to difficult a bit of basic algebra.

Jaunt is probably my favourite short story ever. All Kings short stories are great and they stick in your memory like no other author.

"Survivor Type" is my personal favourite from that collection.
