166. Careless in red - Elizabeth George. Her last book (What came before he shot her) was disappointing and I was worried this would be more of the same but EG is back on form with this book ( Read more... ) -
163-165
163. Blue moon - Laurell K Hamilton. More vampires and werewolves, though grownup this time ( Read more... ) -

157. Caddy ever after - Hilary McKay. I love the Casson family, my 15-year-old son also likes reading these books. There are five of them now - Saffy's angel, Indigo's star, Permanent Rose, Caddy ever after and Forever Rose. Hilary McKay has said that Forever Rose is the last in the series.

144. The canning season - Polly Horvath. A young girl is sent to stay with elderly almost-aunts, mainly to get her out of the way of her feckless, selfish mother. Another girl shows up, dropped there by another not-relative (accidentally - they were looking for an orphanage). I couldn't see how this was going to end well, definitely thought ( Read more... ) -
142, 143
142. New moon - Stephenie Meyer. I guess I'm committed to reading the whole series now. I read the first one before I knew it was going to continue or be made into a film. Quite good, though I personally think adding werewolves is a bit much ( Read more... ) -
