I haven’t caught up with the Book Panel for a few weeks, but have just managed to listen to the two most recent editions, which recommended the following:
20 September
Lucky Star by Cathy Cassidy
Blood Captain by Justin Somper
27 September
The Pools by Bethan Roberts
Artemis Fowl -The Graphic Novel by Eion Colfer
The Book God is very excited by Blood Captain as it’s about Vampirates, which says it all really. I very much like the sound of The Pools, and it’s now on my Wish List.
This week’s books were:
The Woman in the Fifth by Douglas Kennedy
Burma Boy by Biyi Bandele
Full details as always on the BBC Radio 5 website.
A bit of a delay in posting, but last week’s books were:
The Yiddish Policeman’s Union by Michael Chabon
When Red is Black by Qiu Xiaolong
The Chabon book was already on my wish list but it looks like I’ll have to investigate Inspector Chen as well.
Simon Mayo’s Book Panel on Radio 5 Live is always worth listening to, as a podcast if not live. This week’s reviews were:
When We Were Bad by Charlotte Mendelson
The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies
Definitely think I’ll give the latter a try; I saw it in Waterstone’s and really liked the cover but had hit my hardback quota for the month (difficult to believe I have such a thing, but there you are!)
