Re: 50 Book Challenge 2013 AKA Anna Will Kick Your Arse Agai
Hang on. I've cocked this up already - clicked on the wrong post to quote last week, and I've given myself 5 and 6 twice...
1. Kitchen Diaries 2, Nigel Slater. (Annoying little turd.)
2. Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, Laurie Viera Rigler. (Interesting premise but it was stretched out too long.)
3. The White Queen Philippa Gregory. (Historical fiction about Elizabeth Woodville - undemanding.)
4. The Murders in the Rue Morgue and other stories E. A. Poe. (Dupin is the forerunner of Holmes - but less exciting.)
Right, we need the original 5 and 6 back in here...
5. Master and God Lindsey Davis (Superior historical fiction set in the reign of Domitian)
6. Lemon Meringue Pie Murder Joanne Fluke (Might have been more thrilling had the eponymous pie been the murder weapon)
Now the false 5 and 6 become 7 and 8...
7. Bess of Hardwick Mary S. Lovell. (Lively and scholarly biography.)
8. The Mating Season P.G. Wodehouse. (Jeeves and Wooster in full effect.)
And finally...
9. The Anglo-Saxons ed. James Campbell (dry, dry, dry )
10. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight trans. Simon Armitage (should have read it 25 years ago, better late than never)
Phew!
