  1. Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley 45rpm in 1956 and I still have it.
  2. Hello Daniel,hope you enjoy the forum.:eek2:
  3. Just started Wolf Hall - Hilary Mantel. Enjoying it so far.
  4. I read The Help some months ago and absolutely loved it .Wonderful characters and brilliant story line,beautifully written.My very best read this year.
  5. Correct The Book of Lost Things is John Connolly. Sheridan Hay's book is called The Secret of Lost Things.
  6. Waterstones is absolutely my favourite shop,the staff are friendly(not pushy) and extremely knowledgeable.That's where I feel comfortable to browse and know that I will not be pounced on as soon as I walk into the shop.
  7. Bought The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest this morning at Waterstones (
  8. Just got my parcel from Amazon containing the hardback of Hilary Mantel's - Wolf Hall. I don't usually buy hardbacks so this is a big treat. Will have to read Drowning Man very quickly,that won't be difficult though as it is a real page turner.
  9. Finished reading Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood. Slow start to the story but when the suspense begins to build up and the main characters develop I couldn't put the book down.Read it in two days.Looking forward to reading The Flood in the near future.Meanwhile I will be reading Drowning Man - Michael Robotham the second book he has written.His first book The Suspect was one of the best thriller books I have read recently.
  10. Stieg Larsson's third book is in the book shops on Thursday,it's called The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.Can't wait to get reading it.
  11. Halfway through Oryx and Crake and I'm really enjoying it.
  12. Just finished reading The Suspect - Michael Rowbotham, a psychological thriller with a brilliant ending that I had not sussed out. If you like Cracker you will love this. Complete change of genre will be reading Oryx and Crake next,then Michael Rowbotham's second book which is The Drowning Man.
  13. Welcome to the forum Lauren
  14. I can read at every opportunity. Always have a read at bedtime,propped up with comfy pillows. Then I will read at every available moment of my day,even while waiting for things to cook and kettles to boil etc. This means that I am either perched on a stool,sat in an armchair or at the table eating my lunchtime sarnie. Most of the time I don't worry about creased spines as I think that a book should be enjoyed.Of course there are some exceptions ie books that I know I will definitely be keeping.
  15. Oh goody there will be loads in the charity shops soon !
