I started my annual leave at midday on Wednesday, and since then I've read six books and rather a lot of fanfiction. Herewith the books, for starters; one good, the other five loosely clumped in descending order.

( Stephen Fry, The Fry Chronicles. )

( Brian Farrey, With or Without You. )

( Linwood Barclay, Trust Your Eyes. )

( Maria Padian, Out of Nowhere. )

( Gordon Korman, Ungifted. )

( Josie Brown, The Baby Planner. )
