Untold Story by Monica Ali

Untold StoryUntold Story by Monica Ali

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A great premise - what would Diana's life be like had she lived? - and suspensefully handled.




Pick up your copy of this book club book today... The discussion will be Thursday Feb. 2 at the Library at 7 pm.

FAVE FANTASY LIST

  • Game of Thrones by George R R Martin - 1st in A Song of Ice and Fire Series. There are now 5 titles in the series. Personally I enjoyed the earlier novels more. These "doorstop" books (i.e. definitely big enough to prop open a door) have a myriad of characters and a lot of violence. Definitely an adult read.
  • The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman - The first in His Dark Materials trilogy. Serious juvenile fantasy that you won't want to put down.
  • The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - The first in this trilogy for teens - once again it is un-put-down-able. Read it before you see Katniss on the big screen - movie coming soon.
  • The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore - Looking for some goofy fantasy? Look no more. An interspecies love affair, a psychiatrist runs amok - what more could you ask? If you like this one, there are lots more but definitely his earlier novels are much funnier.
  • The Witches books by Terry Pratchett - For the ultimate in clever, funny fantasy - Pratchett's Discworld books are a must read. Equal Rites, The Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad are the first three books featuring witches Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. The hedgehog song is priceless!
