Blasted through One-Hit Wonder by Lisa Jewell in rather too fast a time... I got hooked and ended up staying up 'till one to finish it, and now I've run out of things to read on my trip again. Other than a slightly hokey ending, this was a very enjoyable book, with great touches of humour. The cover quotes describe it as "chic-lit" and a "romantic comedy", both fair comments. 4 out of 5.

I finished Ode to a Banker, Lindsay Davis' newest Didius Falco (roman detective) novel. It was a step up from her other recent efforts, with a solid narrative, good characters, and entertaining detail of the roman banking and publishing systems. A quick, light read. 3 out of 5.
