CAROLYN One of my favourite places to read, and probably the most common with many of you, is in bed at night before I go to sleep. I used to be able to read nearly half a book before going to sleep, but that’s not possible now. This, of course, is the hubster’s fault. Before we moved in together I used to read until the wee hours of the morning but now I get poked and prodded, and little whinges of ‘bright light’ creep up from under the bed covers…

Shakespeare’s Champion (Lily Bard #2) by Charlaine Harris Berkley (Dec 2006) | Paperback, 244 pages | Mystery Maybe if I took this step by step it wouldn’t be so bad? I glanced over at the still figure on the bench. No way to ease up to this. I’d just plunge right in. “Del Packard is here, and he got squashed,” I said. This is Charlaine Harris’ second Lily Bard book, but can be read as a standalone. The strength of the series builds with each one, with the complex and scarred…

Sleeping with the Fishes (Fred the Mermaid #1) by MaryJanice Davidson | Piatkus (March 2007) Paperback, 268 pages | Paranormal Romance Oh boy. I’m sorry, I tried really hard to find something to like about this book, but I couldn’t. Before I began reading, I had no idea how the author was going to pull this book off. Until now my experience of mermaids in fiction has been limited to Hans Christian Andersen (the real Little Mermaid, not the Disney monstrosity with the singing fish!), and while I think the theme works well…
