What's On Your Nightstand is a monthly challenge for the 4th Tuesday of the month. It is a meme run by Jennifer over at 5 Minutes for Books.I haven't done so well since last month in dealing with my nightstand.
I think the problem was that I was just too greedy.
The ones in green are the ones I haven't yet read.
I have reviewed all the others.
What I intended to read:
THE LONDON EYE MYSTERY, Siobhan Dowd
A MAN LAY DEAD, Ngaio Marsh
DEAD I WELL MAY BE, Adrian McKinty
THE UNQUIET NIGHT, Patricia Carlon
WHAT THE DEAD KNOW, Laura Lippman
PLAY DEAD, Richard Montanari
THE DYING BREED , Declan Hughes
OVERKILL, Vanda Symon
A SIMPLE ACT OF VIOLENCE, R. J. Ellory
DEAD HEAT, Dick & Felix Francis
THE CRUEL STARS OF NIGHT, Kjell Eriksson
THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT, Agatha Christie
A HOLLY, JOLLY MURDER, Joan Hess
THE 19TH WIFE, by David Ebershoff - half way through this one.
THE SECRET OF CHIMNEYS (comic strip version), Agatha Christie per Francois Riviere
THE LORDS' DAY, Michael Dobbs - as an audio book
As always some other books crept into range and also got read.
What is on my nightstand now:
Some of the unread books had to be returned to the library unfortunately but there is no lack of replacements. As always they are all crime fiction or murder mysteries.
And I've just realised what a long list it is!
THE FENG SHUI DETECTIVE, Nury Vittachi - for oz_mystery discussion in January.
THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD, Agatha Christie.
THE ROAR OF BUTTERFLIES, Reginald Hill.

I'm a little over 100 pages into What the Dead Know, and really enjoying it. I've read The Feng Shui Detective and thought it was quite funny. Read Murder on Monday, too, so I'll be keeping an eye out for your reviews!
ReplyDeleteWe obviously share reading DNA Cathy.
ReplyDeleteNaida THE STRANGERS that you reviewed looks very scary
I hope you have that stack reinforced in some way because if that baby collapsed on you in the middle of the night there could be serious crush injuries!
