Rambling Update

I feel I really must get my skates on and stay focussed. I took some books back to the library a couple of weeks ago and came out with 7 more to read. Then I wanted to read through this year's Arthur C. Clarke Award Shortlist and I have just seen how many books I have started and not yet finished. Really, this isn't good enough!

 

So, my library haul...

The Annihilation Score (Laundry Files) - Charles Stross

The Burning Time - Virginia Rounding (I have already renewed this 3 times)

The Dark Circle - Linda Grant

 

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sausages - Tom Holt  I have actually started this one

 

May Contain Traces of Magic - Tom Holt 

 

The Uploaded - Ferrett Steinmetz  Sounded interesting but I'm not a huge YA fan so I might skip it

 

The Crimson Ribbon - Katherine Clements  Really want to get to this

 

Future Home of the Living God - Louise Erdrich   

 

So then I started on the Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlist for this year. I have read so far:

Gather the Daughters: A Novel - Jennie Melamed  Took a long time to get into it

 

Sea of Rust - C. Robert Cargill  Not bad

 

American War - Omar El Akkad  My favourite so far although I wouldn't have thought so from the blurb.

 

Still to read:

Borne: A Novel - Jeff VanderMeer 

 

Spaceman of Bohemia - Jaroslav Kalfar 

 

Dreams Before the Start of Time - Anne Charnock  The winner, so I might leave this one to last.

 

I really need to work out a tbr...
