I found myself ...I really enjoyed World Without Us. I found myself with a big smile creeping up over my face all the time, imagining the world with no humans. <br />That's how I found Doomsday Book - from your list last year. I enjoyed it, but oh my goodness it was so bizarre and distracting every time someone hangs around a landline for a call. A future where they can travel in time but no-one has a mobile phone! That reminds me. It's 2015 already - where's my hoverboard?<br />As for Joanne Harris, I go up and down on her. Sometimes I think she's great, other times I'm not so sure. I guess that would make her human! I'm happy to recommend Blackberry Wine. I read it so many years ago I can barely remember the plot, but several scenes have stuck with me, as well as the unmistakable feeling of deep pleasure at finding a really excellent novel.

I listened to it and ended up being kind of obsessed with it.<br /><br />Good to know that Holy Fools sucks. I keep looking for an entry point into her work, but nothing I've found so far really appeals to me.Nikki (www.bookpunks.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03930429409262902365noreply@blogger.com
