That should fit the bill!

I'm now reading (non-HF) Wish Her Safe At Home, by Stephen Benatar.

I really enjoyed Alias Grace.

Just finished the last Sookie Stackhouse - Dead Ever After. Hmmm - It's what I expected for Sookie right at the start and I am glad in a way. But given the happenings and the intensity of the relationships in the middle of the series, on another level, the way those strands were handled in the tie-up was extremely disappointing and a rough deal for the characters involved. Pity not to go out on a high all round.

Now reading The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. Only 5 pages in but a very promising start.

Yes I've heard that Dead Ever After hasn't gone down too well with the fans - I've read the first 10 books now and my suspicion is that

. There is a book of short stories coming out towards the end of the year which supposedly tells what happens to everyone in the books, so maybe that will tie things up a bit better? I am prepared to do a bit of wall-banging though!

I still enjoyed the read - I think a lot of the one star reviews are a bit harsh and probably a gut reaction to what happened in the novel.

I finished Galway Bay Friday evening and have started Wallace Breem's The Leopard and the Cliff.

Lunchtime = further reading of The Golem and the Jinni - still loving it. I'm intrigued; I want to know what happens next. At the moment it's turning into a 'glued to my hand' sort of novel. Historical fantasy I guess you'd call the genre. 19thC New York.
