2016 Booklist #16: The Girl in the Spider's Web

By David Lagercrantz. There's no doubt this is gripping and entertaining - and it kept me reading well into the early hours. It's not great prose, but the originals weren't that great either - I'd have to reread to compare more closely. One thing I wasn't so keen on was the embellishment of Lisbeth's backstory. I can see that it might have been necessary, but a lot of it didn't ring true to me - especially the comic stuff. Though a clever way of explaining Lisbeth's hacker name.

2016 Booklist #15: The Aware

By Glenda Larke. Have been meaning to read Glenda Larke for years. 'The Aware' is amazing - female main character, very original story with interesting science/anthropologic angle. Highly recommended. I'll read the rest of the trilogy for sure.

2016 Booklist #14: The Last Word

by Hanif Kureishi. Wit rather than substance: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/13232610

2016 Booklist #13: Nimona

By Noelle Stevenson. Charming, funny and possibly my first graphic novel...

2016 Booklist #12: Death Comes to Pemberley

By PD James. I am afraid I cannot recommend this book. I listed my annoyances here.

2016 Book List #11: The Robber Bride

By Margaret Atwood. Failed to take a photo, so I will just link to my BC post (it was well worth reading)

2016 Booklist #10: Astray

By Emma Donohue. Whoops, I got rid of this before taking a picture! This is a fascinating premise - writing short stories based on historical records, and all related to travel or immigration (and mostly centreds around or in America). The stories are generally well written vignettes, though generally made more poignant due to their historical origins. It lacked the emotional depth of 'Room', however.
