smallhobbitMy TBL pile remains at 20 titles, but at least it's not growing!!!
A Mind to Murder by P D James read by Daniel Weyman
I'm slowly working my way through the Adam Dalgleish novels. This is the second in the series and shorter than some of the later novels. I'm happy to listen to the stories, but don't feel as grabbed by them as some do.
Poems of War and Remembrance
This is an anthology of over 60 poems read by a number of narrators. Many were written at the time of WWI but there are some dating from earlier times. A good anthology, which I shall no doubt listen to again while on my next battlefields trip.
A Murder of Quality by John Le Carré read by Michael Jayston
Having heard the first of the Smiley novels I was keen to listen to another. I enjoyed the mystery and am now planning on listening to the rest of the Smiley series, adding them to my TBL pile when they are on offer.
Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene read by Cyril Cusack
The second of four Greene's on my list for this year. I did enjoy the story of the priest Monsignor Quixote and the communist ex-mayor, who he terms Sancho, in their travels through Spain. Lots of theological and communist discussion in a non-serious way.
Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt by Lucinda Riley and Harry Whittaker, read by Richard Armitage and Tuppence Middleton
No surprise why I listened to this. It's the eighth and final book in the Seven Sisters series. I listened to this while I was driving - otherwise I doubt I'd have finished it. I don't mind implausibility, but there were events which just wouldn't have happened.
