My reading for this month included:
- Spider trap by Barry Maitland (always a pacy author)
- Bet me by Jennifer Crusie - featuring food as a way of connecting the main characters
- Seven ancient wonders and Six sacred stones both by Matthew Reilly, and both e-audio. They are entertaining, pacy reads
- Hammered by Kevin Herne - think druid in modern Arizona taking on a Norse god
- The beer cook book by Mary Novak - what is not to like - how to include beer in your cooking from soups to fruitcakes (and yes the recipes are fun to make too)
- The story of England by Michael Wood - this follows Kibworth from the time of the Romans to the present and is based on very detailed archival records
- Fun Inc by Tom Chatfield is an excellent overview about the role of games and their potential in our lives
- Inside cyber warfare by Jeffrey Carr - the name says it all
- Dark Jenny by Alex Bledsoe - pacy, engaging and a disturbing read - kind of showing how far people will go to prove a point
- Ghost story by Jim Butcher - I knew it was a set up, and it shows the danger of not balancing the good of a wider group with the good of an individual (and I am not sure it was meant to be making this point)
- Baking with passion by Dan Lepard and Richard Whittington - I have not been able to try any of the recipes yet - but they are on my to do list
- Tess Mallos - The complete Middle East cook book - impressive
- Coraline by Neil Gailman - creepy, but very postive
- Ready player one by Ernest Kline - about a slightly future world with games and very strong 80s retro elements (it was a page turner - or should I say tapper as I read this, like some of the other titles listed, as an e-book)
- A new culture of learning : cultivating the imagination in a world of constant change by Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown - excellent
- Double back by Mark Abernathy - recent thriller set partly in East Timor around the time of the vote for independence
