If anything I think might be even better than the first one. I really like Nancy Farmer's writing.<br /><br />Darla: I think I'm enjoying the sequel, The Land of Silver Apples, as much, if not more, than the first book. NF certainly knows how to write a pacey plot.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-43624863390623414502009-12-26T20:25:41.662+00:002009-12-26T20:25:41.662+00:00I'll be interested to hear what you think of t...I'll be interested to hear what you think of the sequel to Sea of Trolls - I've been meaning to get to it but haven't had a chance yet.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-62895480341541540952009-12-21T19:21:24.059+00:002009-12-21T19:21:24.059+00:00Oh I so want to read The Sea Trolls!

You would never have known she's an America author writing British children.<br /><br />December Dreams87: You have an interesting blog but I'm afraid I don't 'follow' blogs. I use my blog roll to read the blogs I want to read. Thanks for dropping by.<br /><br />GeraniumCat: My next Lake District mystery will be The Arsenic Labyrinth, which looks particularly good. It's an excellent series.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-19637457322839933262009-12-08T17:12:02.183+00:002009-12-08T17:12:02.183+00:00You've reminded me that I still have to read T...You've reminded me that I still have to read The Cipher Garden - thanks!

It's a rollicking good adventure that's a lot of fun. <br /><br />Sounds like you need to go back to the Victorian lit for a bit. Perhaps you like it so much that nothing else measures up?<br /><br />How's the afghan going?<br /><br />Danielle: The Lake District mysteries are excellent and I think you would like them. There is a lot of personal stuff which appeals to me more than a just a plain and simple crime story. I can't wait for you to try McCall Smith - I tend to think everyone has already tried him, which is a bit silly...<br /><br />Margaret: I'm saving the 3rd. Lake District mystery until next year as I don't want to have none left to read. Although I think there is a 4th. one out next year too.<br /><br />You know, I think McCall Smith books would be your kind of thing as they're very thoughtful and 'thought' provoking. I hope you will give them a try at some stage. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is a very good place to start as those are charm personified.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-16294031421862628602009-12-06T10:55:57.629+00:002009-12-06T10:55:57.629+00:00Of these I've only read The Cipher Garden, whi...Of these I've only read The Cipher Garden, which I think is really good.<br /><br />Somehow McCall Smith's books don't appeal, although your review of The Sunday Philosophy Club makes me think I'd like it.BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-33028255280255020952009-12-06T03:51:58.399+00:002009-12-06T03:51:58.399+00:00I like the sound of the Martin Edwards mystery.

I don't mind a mystery that concentrates as much on the personal lives of the characters as the investigation--I find that aspect of the story fascinating actually. And I have yet to try Alexander McCall Smith, but I do have the first Isabel Dalhousie mystery on my pile.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-20481296382659852912009-12-05T12:53:12.286+00:002009-12-05T12:53:12.286+00:00glad to hear the sea trolls is so enjoyable.. as y...glad to hear the sea trolls is so enjoyable.. as you know I have the trilogy sitting in the tbr pile *sigh*..
