Inver Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) 'Before I Die' by Jenny Downham Recommended (even although sad). Another bookring I joined via Bookcrossing. My Review Edited July 6, 2008 by Inver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 'The House at Riverton' by Kate Morton Not an overly taxing read, but was part of the Reading Circle, so thought I would give it a go. Maybe I just took longer to read it than I should have to keep my interest going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) 'Mums @ Home' by Sophie King (Signed copy) Same author as 'The School Run'. Easy read about a group of people who find themselves logging on to 'Mums @ Home' website. They share the ups and downs over the net, and share their problems giving each other advice. (Bit like here ) Review Edited July 6, 2008 by Inver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 'A Lifetime Burning' by Linda Gillard It is a book of controversial themes, which I don't think will appeal to everyone, but you will have to read it to make up your own mind about that! I can appreciate how some readers wouldn't/won't like it and others will love it. I found it a compelling read and would recommend giving it a go.

nursenblack Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Wow A Lifetime Burning sounds like it would be really interesting. I usually try to steer away from books that are too sexually graphic, but the review sounded good. I think I'll add it to my TBR pile.

Inver Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 'The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox' by Maggie O'Farrell Click here for proof I did read it! Wonderful, page turning read. Second one of this author I have read and is now on my list of favourites. On the odd occasion I got confused with who was narrating in the story, but once I got used to the way it was written I was hooked. I found the ending a bit open ended too, a bit like her last one I read (although I think I know what happened!) Recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Nice pic, Inver! I have this one on my TBR pile. Looking forward to reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' by J K Rowling Great read as always. The continuing saga of Harry Potter v Voldermort. Turned up a few surprises!! Those who have read it will know what I mean. Off to start the final book now to tie it altogether, hopefully. Don't know why it took me so long to read these.

Inver Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 'Blood Ties' by Sam Hayes This is a bookring run by Michelle. Great, page turning read. Found it a bit confusing at times keeping track of the characters and a few twists and turns along the way, just when you thought you had it worked out but enjoyed it.

Inver Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 'Helpless' by Barbara Gowdy. Bookring run by supergran71. This was a page turner. I found myself trying to read quicker to find out what was going to happen at the end. A suspense story, but given the storyline of abduction of a young girl and what you think the outcome was going to be, getting so far with it you think you know what the ending is etc....well you will have to read it to find out won't you Thanks Ann for putting this one up for reading.

Inver Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) 'The Birth House' by Ami McKay This was a great read. The title says it all really. Based in the era of WW1 in Nova Scotia. My Review Edited September 28, 2008 by Inver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 'The Welsh Girl' by Peter Ho Davies Set in Wales 1944, WW11. After struggling a bit to pick up this storyline, once a third of the way in I was enjoying it more. A Jewish refugee, Captain Rotheram, working for British Intelligence, sent to help with the intterogation of Rudolf Hess. Karsten, a POW who ends up in the local POW camp. Esther Evans, the local girl. My Review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 ' The Outcast' by Sadie Jones I think I enjoyed this one although parts of it I found a bit distressing (the self harming) although understand why it was part of the book. Thanks for doing this a bookring Kate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hey Inver, I made a reading list! All the books I've read since I'm in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I enjoyed 'The Outcast' too Inver, the self harming was upsetting but being a self harmer myself, Sadie Jones did a great job of exploring it, reasons, the feelings, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 'The Friday Night Knitting Club' by Kate Jacobs Simple enough story of a single mum who sets up and runs her own Wool Shop in New York. As the name suggests a knitting club is started. The usual mixture of characters attend with their own tales to tell etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 'When the Morning Comes' by Cindy Woodsmall Joined a bookring via Bookcrossing for this one. Well written story about Hannah and her life within the Amish community. This is the second book and continues the story of Hannah and what happens when she moves away to make a new life without Paul. He continues to try to come to terms with life without her, but she changes her name and doesn't want to be found. However by the end of the book events have happened and she is eventually found and sent for. Can't wait to read the third book to see how it all ties together.
