kafjCurrently Reading
Still on Fame is the Spur, still think it's going to end up being very depressing, still going very slowly.
The Chalet Girl (Kate Lace) - unashamed chicklit with surprise Barchester. I am not convinced that the author knows a huge amount about the inner workings of the Church of England, and I am (again) having thoughts about how many cathedral cities can one fit into the south of England anyway, but will write more about this next week.
Scarlet Feather (Maeve Binchy) - possibly a 'too famous to need editing' problem? Lots of repetition. Also I hate the hero, who is jealous and possessive. And yet somehow I haven't stopped reading it...
The Lantern (Lawrenson) - continues purple and boring and I wish to slap a lot of the characters.
Recently Finished
Malinche (Laura Esquivel) - was very interesting but suffered from not knowing whether or not it was fiction or history, and also not having been very transparently translated. To my shame I'd never heard of Malinalli before.
Up Next
Not sure. Might really be The Spirit Level this time. It depends on whether my brain has grown back.
Other Media
More of La Vuelta. Also Lego Lord of the Rings - Anne played and I watched.
