The Ring of Solomon
The Ring of Solomon | Jonathan Stroud
3 posts | 27 read | 14 to read
Fans of the Bartimaeus sequence will devour this book a cracking adventure brimming with magic, intrigue and a treasure trove of characters that the reader can't help but fall for. We find everyone's favourite irascible djinni serving at the court of King Solomon in 950 BC Jerusalem, where he is causing his customary chaos and must help a girl assassin sent by the Queen of Sheba to steal the all-powerful Ring of Solomon. The comic relief is perfectly timed, the dialogue sharp and snappy and the fiendishly clever plot perfectly handled with Jonathan's trademark flair and command of language. Thrills, chills and a danger-spiked finale make Ring of Solomon an absolute must-read.

jenniferw88 Thanks for your comment on the squirrel book - I went back and bought it so have removed the post so helen doesn't see it! 5y
julesG @jenniferw88 Clever! 5y
julesG @jenniferw88 PS: I also stumbled across something for her, but it's not that book. 😁 5y
jenniferw88 @julesG I've sent her a LOT of squirrel-related things for her birthday - in fact the only thing that isn't about squirrels is the book! 😂😂😂 5y
julesG @jenniferw88 It's just so funny when I stumble on something and know exactly which Litten this is for. 😁 I might still send a little parcel, hoping it'll arrive in time and not going to the wrong address as with Rachel's parcel (totally my fault). 5y

My January stats, I had to include becoming a Litten 😁
Since I usually finish less than 1 book a week, I'm pretty happy with these stats! Tagged book was my favorite read of the month.

Cinfhen Yay!! You're off to a great start 😊 7y
tif Excellent reading! 7y
tessavi @Cinfhen Thanks! I'm more than half way through 4 others, so I might have to adjust my goal of 52 in 2018. 7y

tessavi @tif thanks ✌️ 7y
tif @tessavi @Cinfhen I never adjust my reading goal once I've set it. I like a record of what I thought I'd make it through at the start of the year and how much I've managed to beat it by 😁 7y
Cinfhen Same @tif that way I feel like an #overachiever 7y
tessavi @Cinfhen @tif Oh! I hadn't thought of it that way. I might do that! 7y
tif @Cinfhen @tessavi exactly! Makes me feel overly accomplished 😂😂😂 7y
Cinfhen With age comes wisdom 😬😉 @tif @tessavi 😊😂 7y
