    Was The Osiris Ritual any good? It's on my to-read pile.

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    It wasn't bad - I assume you've read the first one in the series ?

    The plot was pretty easy to guess, but the action sequences were done very well as per the first book, and there were some interesting character and plot developments that might be intriguing in forthcoming books.
    Bazinga !

    Casanova by Andrew Miller - It was quite an unusual romp, funny at times, disturbing at others, but I enjoyed it a lot overall.

    The Days of Anna Madrigal by Armistead Maupin. It's like meeting up for a catch up with old friends.

    I've started on Book 2 of A Game of Thrones, which is probably called A Clash of Kings. It's more of the same, which is great. The storytelling in A Game of Thrones drives forward with huge strength, it's a riveting read.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    Reduced to a bargaintastic £1.99 at The Works in Exeter, I recently picked up the 50th anniversary reprint of Ten Little Aliens - it's a PDA I'd not read before, really enjoyed it (Stephen Cole generally pretty reliable IMHO).

    It's made me just a little nostalgic for those days when Who books were being churned out on a monthly basis, and prompted me to dig out some of my remaining EDAs, so over the past couple of nights I've started on The Tomorrow Windows. It's interesting to read it now, from the perspective of the modern TV series - chapter 1 alone has a sassy, flirty female companion; a raft of celebrity cameos (Ken Livingstone, albeit a robot version, and Stephen Hawking, to name just two); and wanton destruction of a London landmark, in this case Tate Modern. It almost is a New Series story!!

    Just to add, chapter 2 starts off with Huw Edwards and then John Suchet, reporting on the explosion at Tate Modern. Now that really IS New Series-style!

    All it needs is Captain Jack snogging the Doctor, hmm?

    Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. How many of us when we were younger, used to want to ride Black Beauty?

    I'll rephrase that...

    I'm reading Oscar Wilde's Lord Arthur Saville's Crime & Other Stories. So far I've read the title story and am halfway through The Canterville Ghost. Love a bit of Oscar, but do people really fling or throw themselves onto a sofa all the time?

    Currently several text books as I prepare for my end of year exams which are both next week although I'm actually finding The Roman Empire by Colin Wells quite engaging.

    I recently finished and enjoyed M C Scott's Rome: The Eagle of the Twelfth and will be starting the final part of the series Rome: The Art of War as soon as I've finished my final exam on Friday week
