blue_ant13. Carry On, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse (audio book)
Good, though I wish I'd been able to listen to this one first since a good portion of the stories are on My Man Jeeves, which I'd already heard. I also didn't like the reader as much, but it was still fun -- the stories are amusing and I like Jeeves and Wooster more and more. I will definitely be listening to more of these audio books.
14. Metropolis by Osamu Tezuka
This is one of those classic graphic novels that I didn't know about until someone recommended the anime version. While the movie is different than the graphic novel, both are enjoyable. What I liked about the graphic novel was that it wasn't as serious -- as in there was humor that was not quite in the movie. Tezuka's writing and illustrations are quite clever and easy to follow, as is the storyline. While the ending is tragic (just like the film) the journey to that ending is what matters most. I found the story to be, like the movie, touching in unexpected ways.
15. The Inner Circle by Mari Jungstedt
The third book in Jungstedt's series set on the island of Gotland. A horse is found murdered, then later a young woman -- are the two connected? And if so, how? These, and others, are the questions that Inspector Anders Knutas must answer. Jungstedt's novel is a gripping mystery -- it took me all of three days to read it. The plot is strong, and though we're given hints and insight into the murders and murderer, then signs only become clear when Jungstedt wants them to. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I have her others. I can't wait for the rest to be translated into English.
