Nearly finished The Hungry Hills by Janet Macleod Trotter set in a north-east mining community in 1926 during the General Strike. Going to collect Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell from the library tomorrow and also ordered online: Wake by Robert J Sawyer/Wild Trek by Jim Kjelgaard/Women Of Ill Fame by Erika Mailman. Also fancy The Small Hand by Susan Hill.
After reading Michelle Paver's excellent ghost story Dark Matter in two days I had a day off then started Raven Black by Ann Cleeves. Shiver's high on my TBR list too!
I'm half-way thru Mark Chadbourn's fantasy Lord Of Silence. Excellent.
Bought The Running Vixen by Elizabeth Chadwick,Room by Emma Donaghoe,and Dark Matter
by Michelle Paver today.
Zooming thru Under The Eagle by Simon Scarrow. Great Roman adventure. Look forward to the next 7 or 8! Collected Incarceron by Catherine Fisher from the library,tho I actually ordered The Archon! Oh,well,I wanted to read 'em both any way.
I read The Snowman recently and can understand why Nesbo's so highly rated. Great threaded crime,unusual but effective descriptive writing,totally believable characters,and Oslo and Norway as formidable backgrounds. Look forward to reading more.
