  1. Yes that is exactly right, quantity over quality. I really enjoyed the first few books and found them pure escapism but now I am tiring of them, it's a real shame. I will probably read the next book, I just hope that it is a more enjoyable read.
  2. Awakened P.C and Kristen Cast Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa's House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn't it? And what about Stevie Rae and Rephraim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be ok with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?[Amazon.co.uk] This is the eight book in the series and I have to say that I am becoming a little bored by the plot. The characters are also becoming a little bit annoyong. Not my favourite book and I am not sure if I will read the next installment.
  3. I have started to read Nothing is Forever by June Tate and the House official guide. My youngest has been ill today so I have read quite a bit while cuddling on the couch.
  4. Can you download books from sites other than amazon if you have a Kindle? thank you.
  5. My lovely inlaws bought me a Kindle as an early BirthdaI am very excited and am slowly getting to grips with it.
  6. A cup of coffee and a malted milk biscuit

  14. This sounds a very interesting book, will have to read it, many thanks.
  15. We have several bookshelves and bookcases dotted all over the house, we have that many books we could open a library.
  16. Borkmaan's Point Hakan Nesser Synopsis Borkmann's rule was hardly a rule; in fact, it was more of a comment, a landmark for tricky cases ...In every investigation, he maintained, there comes a point beyond which we don't really need any more information. When we reach that point, we already know enough to solve the case by means of nothing more than some decent thinking. A seedy ex-con and a wealthy real-estate mogul are brutally murdered with an axe in the quiet coastal town of Kaalbringen. Chief Inspector van Veeteren, bored of his holiday nearby, is summoned to assist the local authorities. But there seems to be nothing to link the victims. Another body is discovered, again with no obvious connection, and the pressure mounts. The local police chief, just days away from retirement, is determined to wrap things up before he goes. Then there's a fourth murder, and a brilliant young female detective goes missing - perhaps she has reached Borkmann's Point before anyone else ...This riveting novel, full of fascinating, quirky characters and vivid settings, introduces the chess-playing Inspector van Veeteren - a detective already beloved by his European readership - and marks the UK debut of Hakan Nesser, a chilling new voice in crime fiction. "On this showing, Inspector Van Veeteren seems destined for a place amongst the great European detectives" - Colin Dexter, creator of Inspector Morse. {Waterstones.com} This is the first book in the Inspector Van Veeteren series and have to say that I found it the most enjoyable. I was truly surprised by the ending, the murderer was a character that I did not suspect from the very beginning of the book. This author is fast becoming one of my favourites,cannot wait to read the next installment.
  17. Rising Tides and The Welcoming Nora Roberts I adore Nora Roberts and I really enjoyed these two books. as ever they stuck to the winning Robert's formula. Nothing earth shattering but easy to read books and pure escapism, and I am addicted to them.
  18. Any books by Jo Nesbo, Hakan Nesser is also a very good crime writer if you like dark Swedish writing, The Mind's Eye and The Return are also especially good. You may also enjoy The Passage by Justin Cronin.
  19. I found a shopping list in a library book the other day
  20. I am halfway throuigh The Leopard and I am going to pick up The Redbreast from the library tomorrow, love Harry Hole
