Rebecca   well, meh. 

The Picture of Dorian Gray

 The Picture of Dorian Gray  well it must have been a long time since I first read this since this time around I didn't like it as much. Nothing to do with the quality of prose and it is no surprise that this is one is quoted often. However the character Lord Henry's thoughts and speeches were trials and kind of marred an otherwise good read. Still I recommend it.

The Bear And The Nightingale

 

The Bear And The Nightingale turned out to be a nice read. Enough to have a good listening time but not enough to seek out the rest of the trilogy. This one is not left at a cliffhanger so it is possible to enjoy it as a stand alone. 

Sicario: Day of The Soldado

Sicario: Day of The Soldado   well this film was a lot better than I expected. I really liked the first one and this one is a good sequel that nicely segues from the first one but with a different flavour. My elder Aunt who is suffering from dementia watched it with me and got so scared that she actually hid behind and armchair. Benicio Del Toro is very convincing I suppose. 

The Seventh Scroll

 

The Seventh Scroll  well it is my fault since I never looked this up and expected some sort of historical fiction/fantasy a la The River God. However this is an adventure novel with some sort of a romance thrown in. 

The Searcher

 The Searcher is another excellent novel from one of my favorite writers. It is one of those novels that takes you away and puts you inside the story. Highly recommended and not only for the lovers of the genre. Also the audiobook was really good. 

Nocturne

Nocturne turned out to be average (and I'm being kind) I wanted to like it but sorry, no.
