Great tween angst novel, so superior to the Dork Diaries and their ilk. Intelligent, caring and emotionally engaging and a good cathartic story.

The Return of the King
Author: JRR Tolkien
Best moment in the trilogy for most of my life was the moment Eowyn removes her helmet and declares that she is no man's son, and slays the Ringwraith.
Now, with age, best moment is when Sam gets home from the Grey Havens to Bag End, and is back again.

The Two Towers
Author: JRR Tolkien
New cure for the common cold, rereading Lord of the Rings. Cheated and skipped Book 1, since we've just watched the film version (introducing our 11 year old to the story).
Still love Treebeard best.

Peril at Somner House
Author: Joanna Challis
A young Daphne du Maurier is solving murders and nearly getting killed herself. Good work with the brittle upper crust of society in the 20's or 30's (not exactly clear).
Now I am looking for a biography of du Maurier

Love is a Many Trousered Thing

More Georgia Nicolson. I just pray that she gets together with Dave the Laugh and ends the series. More shallow, foolish adventures.

Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, a self-obsessed teen and her big red bottomed adventures. Very flip and slangy, often funny.
