Angelic Paranoia

What I Just Finished Reading Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. This is the second time I've read it and I was dreading the ending, but it wasn't as bad the second time. It is the perfect ending for the book, but it's just so sad, even though the main character is happy. What I'm... Continue reading

You might have noticed that I posted something every day during January. It wasn't entirely planned - at the start of the month there was a lot to post about (round ups of last year, etc and I wondered if I could find 31 things to post about. And it turned out I could. It... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Seeker by Jack McDevitt. I was getting through it slowly at first, but then I got halfway in and nearly finished it in one go. I definitely didn't guess the solution of what happened to the Seeker and the Margolians. I thought I knew, but I was so far wrong.... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading How to be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman. Being a thick hardback, it was hard to read in bed. But it was good. I wouldn't like to live in Victorian times. Children went out to work at twelve (or even as young as six). People wondered what to do with... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Still Reigning by The Queen (of Twitter), which was a Christmas present. It was pretty much as you'd expect, really, like what she posts on Twitter only longer. It was funny. I especially liked: Mr Clegg's work experience comes to an end in 2015, when he and the Liberal Democrat... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Mystery at the Chalet School and Robin Heeds the Call. Mystery at the Chalet School is a short story set in the English era. My spreadsheet of which Chalet School books I've got and read is out of date, so although I think I've read them all, I'm not certain... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Hugh Laurie by Anthony Bunko. It was interesting, but it was clearly a collection of quotes from interviews, especially as one was repeated! There was a lot of emphasis on House too, which doesn't interest me because I am too squeamish to watch medical shows, and hearing Hugh Laurie doing... Continue reading

(I really need to create myself a template for these posts, because I can never remember the prompts) What I Just Finished Reading The Angel's Kiss by Melody Malone. It's written from River's point of view and she has a high opinion of herself, which makes the tone quite amusing. It's probably just as well... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading There's nothing like a long train journey for getting a lot read. I finally finished Singled Out by Virginia Nicholson. It was really interesting, talking about how before the First World War getting married and having children was considered to be what every woman aspired to, and spinsters were to... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Mock the Week's Only Book You'll Ever Need. It's just a collection of all sorts of 'scenes we'd like to see'. It was quite amusing. I bought it because it was 99p and I would say it was worth it. It was very useful because right after I bought it... Continue reading
