I usually enjoy books about "rogues", dukes, lords, and balls. For some reason, I couldn't get fully invested in this one. The story, as a whole, was interesting, but I was not as desperate to read it as I wanted to be.

When Jenny Diski died, I knew I had to read another one of her books. Read more about her and this non-fiction "travel" book from 2006 in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/07/17/travels-for-the-mind-or-for-the-body/

The Traveling Sex Game

I was intrigued by the title, and surprised that I enjoyed this book. Written well, unique plot. It is about a writer that hears about and wants to write an article about an underground sex game called traveling sex game. I couldn't put it down. I would definitely read more books by this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.
  
The first books in Stuart Gibbs's three series with Simon and Schuster in one paperback collection. You've got Belly Up, about the murder of a hippo at the new mega FunJungle. Then you'll join Spy School with Ben. Finally, you'll journey to the first colony on the moon and solve a murder there.

All three of these books are delightful. The characters are strong and the plots move forward quickly with great twists and turns. No matter what your age, you'll turn these pages as quickly as possible and then move on to the other books in these series.

Bodysnatchers' by Suzie Lennox and it's turning into one of these books I just can't put down. It's amazing reading about the lengths these men and women went to, to obtain bodies. As I continue to read through the book I have become totally amazed by how business like the  whole affair was.The book was well written and highly researched which can be seen throughout.

The book deserves a five star rating and I will definitely be reading more of the author's books

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.
