cd book Desire Under the Elms by Eugene O'Neill (performed by LA Theatre Works)

Seventy minutes too long.


love itcd book Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery (read by Shelly Frasier)

Delicious.


The Golden Mile Murder by Sally Spencer

Going to see The In-Laws, so in the mood for a little Blackpool Lit. Problem is, all the novels that feature Blackpool are disappointing detective stories like this one.


Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

I was not very charmed by the movie version of this novel and so did not scoop up this book as quickly as I should have considering how much I enjoyed Jones's Christomancy books. Anyway, it's a really nice spring hammock read and significantly better than the film.


love it Ptolemy's Gate (Bartimaeus Trilogy: Book Three) by Jonathan Stroud

What will I do without more Bartimaeus books to look forward to??? There aren't many other series I can think of in which all the volumes pleased me so thoroughly. And the ending!


The Coffin Trail by Martin Edwards

Not-so-good mystery about a Oxford historian who, together with his brand new girlfriend, chuck the rat race for a quiet life in the Lake District. Alas, the country is not so quiet ... no real surprises and a whole lot of boring patches.


The Salaryman's Wife by Sujata Massey

While on vacation in a mountain resort, Japanese-American Rei Shimura (Tokyo-based English-language teacher) is involved in a murder.
