Book challenge

Because I never kept track of my reading, I am doing a book challenge this year. As this is the half-way point, I thought it would be interesting to do a little recap, and to invite people to talk about books.

I'm planning to post 10 books I read this year a day for the next couple of days, and include short reviews for the English ones and the ones that have an English translation.

So, here goes:

( The Very Bloody History of Britain by John Farman )

( The Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard by Arthur Conan Doyle )

Die Geschichte der Kinder Hurins by Tolkien ...need I say anything?


( First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde )

( Making Money by Terry Pratchett )

( An Infamous Army by Georgette Heyer )

( Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff )

( The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle )

( Billy Budd by Herman Melville )

( The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud )
