I'm finishing up The Invention of Murder: How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime, basically a round-up of all the most notorious murders of 1800s England and how they influenced contemporary pop culture.

It sounds rather optimistic. I wonder if she tackles the effects of climate change? Let us know please.

I will definitely report back after I finished.
I've continued with the Walking Dead series, and just finished my first Agatha Christie novel! So the next novel is Baltimore Boys! As I loved Joel's previous book, one of my all time favourites.

I started Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan of Percy Jackson Fame. I'm trying to figure out if my second childhood has started yet 😠
This month I read More Than This by Patrick Ness, and I am currently reading Traffic by Ellen Hopkins. Both books actually have gay characters in them, to my pleasant surprise. Traffic is actually a sequel to the book Tricks.
