inulro65. Abarat: Absolute Midnight by Clive Barker
Third volume in Clive Barker's Abarat series.
I struggled a bit with this, I think because I read the beautifully illustrated versions of the first two volumes of this series, and this time round the library just sent me the plain paperback, and I have difficulty visualising a lot of the things in the Abarat.
My favourite bits are actually when Candy is transported back to her home in Chickentown in our world, I seem to recall that was the case in the other books too.
66. Standing in Another Man's Grave by Ian Rankin
Rebus is back. I had high expectations, and the book did not disappoint.
I had more thoughts about it at the time, but that was weeks ago.
67. Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Swedish horror from the author of Let the Right One In. As is his style, this book is simultaneously creepy and full of menace right from the beginning, but also a sympathetic portrayal of the aftermath of loss, and of a rural community having to come to terms with changing times. Highly recommended.
