The Quiet Gentleman, The Foundling, Across the Wall, Lady Friday, Bridge to Terabithia, Buffy 2 & 3
The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer. Gervase Frant, 7th Earl of St Erth returns to his family from the army to find his younger half brother expecting to inherit the title when Gervase dies conveniently in the wars. Alas for Martin, Gervase is alive and well but his increasingly alarming ‘accidents’ may put an end to all that.
The Foundling by Georgette Heyer. The 7th Duke of Sale has never been unsupervised in his entire life so when he finally bolts, his entire staff panic. The Duke himself has a ball finding out just how capable he really is. This is a gem; it has escalating hilarity, misunderstandings, and fabulous characters.
Across the Wall by Garth Nix. A collection of short stories. Short and sweet for the most part, I found them uncomplex but enjoyable. Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case won two Aurealis Awards and has that lovely, creative touch that made the Old Kingdom such a great place to visit.
The Keys To The Kingdom (05) Lady Friday by Garth Nix. Young Arthur is still interesting as is his gradually increasing collection of chunks of the Will of the Architect. Now waiting patiently for books six and seven.
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Peterson. A children’s classic I failed to read as a child that I hear traumatised generations of young people. Well written and engaging in a way that will break your heart. No desire to see the movie at all.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer S8 (02) & (03) by Joss Whedon. Loving it; the voices, the story, the artwork. As comics go this is working for me.
