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.
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.
