Ooh ! I`m excited for you ! 2C here and very clear. Pretty but....brrrr.

Book 4 is, I think, set during the first or second book, timeline-wise. Its called the Serpents something ?

Started The Dead Detective by JR Rain yesterday, loving it so far. Woman detective gets shot in the heart, and somehow doesn't die. Her Captain tells her to take a few days off and then work on her own case, cos he says the hiring freeze means replacing her would be difficult. So, she's trying to keep her Undeadness a secret, whilst solving her own homicide.

Snow ! Sort of. Try not to snigger at the ` keep calm and carry on` vibe.

It felt like a rush job ; there were too many other people`s points of view, rather than just from Diana`s perspective, and I didn`t feel that the characters still rang true. I`d still buy the next book, whenever it comes out, but only when it`s quite cheap.

Great pics ! Love the cushion and the bookshelves too.

I loved Shadow of Night ; it`s the third book I felt let down by.

Thank you !

Aw, thank you.

Raffles - David Niven, Olivia DeHavilland - 1939 b&w film. Cricketer Raffles is really a Gentleman Burglar, who decides to go straight due to the love of a good woman. But his bestie - and brother of the woman - has been gambling and is in deep doo-doo , needing lots of money to avoid shame and jail. It's a delightful romp with fun performances. Cheaper by the dozen - clifford Webb, myrna loy. The original of the Steve Martin film, it's just delightful and somewhat deeper than the remake.

Congrats on your book haul. I found A Discovery of Witches in a charity shop a few years ago ; I think I'd class it as one of my top cheapie purchases.

Wow, congrats on getting to 200 books ! That's brilliant ! I'm hovering around 110 ; a string of migraines and feeling wuff ( rough ) affected my reading, though I'm still pleased to break 100 .

Congrats, Michelle !

Yikes and wow ! Commiserations and congrats.

That`s such good news, Gaia.

S4 starts this week here ; I find it`s getting quirkier and funnier as it goes on.

Also liking NZ version of Midsomer Murders, The Brokenwood Mysteries.

I really liked Shannon Hale' s Austenland. the graphic novel sounds good.

Aw, I loved Grimm. You have 5 seasons to get through ! Just one ep of I know who you are , to watch now. I finished Professor T. ( pleased to see there's a second season ), have got this week's Legends and Arrow to see, and looking forward to S 2 of French police drama Witnesses. In docus, I'm enjoying Bettany Hughes latest, Eight days that changed Rome .

Thank you ! Xiao-Xiao is just pigging out on raw steak ( trip to the supermarket today, so she gets a treat ).

Gah, just been feeling a bit rough lately and not up to reviews. I read books 4 and 5 in the EE Homes series, Gateway Walkers oslt - both really good. Now reading the second in Rysa Walker`s Timebound series.

Great pics !

Yes, I'm looking forward to the Spanish series too. though, I did think ' didn't they say it wouldn't come back till the Autumn ? ' and then thought Doh. Btw, I went into town last week and the Xmas lights are already up....

Now reading EE Holmes - The Plague of the Shattered. Excellent.

Ooh, I'm glad that the third Death in Paradise book sounds so good. It'll be January before I get to it, cos I'll be concentrating on reading from Kindle Unlimited, but I shall look forward to a discussion.
