What I've read since my last post about books, a month ago:

Every Which Way But Dead by Kim Harrison (bored now!)
Christine Falls by Benjamin Black (okay but not great)
Pelagia and the Black Monk by Boris Akunin (not as good as the previous one in the series)
Gideon the Cutpurse by Linda Buckley-Archer (why are publishers apparently so obsessed with finding 'the next JKR'?)
The Ninth Stone by Kylie Fitzpatrick (a real curate's egg)
The Tin Roof Blowdown by James Lee Burke (so good! highly recommended!)
The Ascendancy Veil by Chris Wooding (final book of trilogy, highly recommended!)
The Akhenaten Adventure by PB Kerr (Jonathan Stroud sets a tough act to follow)
Country of the Blind by Christopher Brookmyre (needs a good editor?)

And I'm currently reading Lirael by Garth Nix. As usual, more commentary on the above can be found here.

Gakked from

siluria:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening.

It's an eclectic list, to say the least, with no commentary - think of it as a lucky dip! I think I've picked up a couple of these from here, so they're legit, but don't know where else I've sourced stuff from in some cases...

1. Dawn Landes - Bodyguard

2. Suede - Filmstar

3. Jennifer O'Connor - Exeter

4. Maroon 5 - Little of Your Time

5. Nickel Creek - Just (Radiohead cover)

6. Shearwater - Red Sea, Black Sea

7. Billy Bragg - I Keep Faith

And none of this tagging business neither! Pffft.
