It's a good read Kell, I read it in two sittings over two days. Not very mentally challenging and it flows enough not to require too much thought, basically, it's exactly what it says on the tin, a summer read.

I finished The Abortionist's Daughter ~ Elisabeth Hyde today, it wasn't what I was expecting from the book but it was a good read. I enjoyed the whodunnit story and the continual clues left for the reader throughout, although I do feel it may have been aimed at a younger audience than I thought. Next I have picked up The Chemistry of Death ~ Simon Beckett When the bizarrely mutilated body of a young woman is found near the isolated Norfolk village of Manham, it isn't just the fact that she was a friend that disturbs Dr David Hunter. Once a high-profile forensic anthropologist, he was all too familiar with the different faces of death, until a devastating personal tragedy caused him to turn his back on that life and career. Now hidden away as a country doctor, Hunter had hoped his past would remain buried. So when he's asked to use his arcane skills to help track down the killer, he's reluctant to become involved because to do so will only stir up the memories he's been trying so hard to forget. But then another woman disappears, plunging Manham into a maelstrom of fear and paranoia where no one, not even Hunter, is exempt from suspicion. As the once peaceful community begins to tear itself apart, he knows he will need all his knowledge and expertise if the killings are to stop... Combining the menace of Thomas Harris and the forensics of Patricia Cornwell with storytelling skills uniquely his own, Simon Beckett has written a thriller with an unnerving and original twist

I finished My Best Friend's Girl ~ Dorothy Koomson this afternoon. I absolutely loved it (as you can probably tell by the disgusting lack of time it took to read it) highly recommended to everyone Next I have picked up The Abortionist's Daughter ~ Elisabeth Hyde Nineteen-year-old university student Megan Thompson is beautiful, cool, clever and sexy

I'm already half way through it. Had to stop a couple of times to 'compose' myself but so far a fantastic story.

I picked up 'My Best Friend's Girl' from the library today and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this one.

Back from the library today. Quite a sucessful trip, I managed to get hold of My Best Friend's Girl ~ Dorothy Koomson, The Abortionist's Daughter ~ Elisabeth Hyde and The Chemistry of Death ~ Simon Beckett all three from my want to read list Will start with My Best Friend's Girl ~ Dorothy Koomson What would you do for the friend who broke your heart? Best friends Kamryn Matika and Adele Brannon thought nothing could come between them - until Adele did the unthinkable and slept with Kamryn's fianc

I think they are Nestle choc chips..... Link I was interested and so went googling

:shock: :angel:

yep she's terrible. As a consolation O's made some cornflake cakes with Galaxy chocolate.

I would definately miss tea as I drink it by the bucket load. Not so sure what else.... I'm with the Hamster on the gravy thing, I lurve gravy.

I tried and failed. I loved the TV series and thought I would obviously love the books more, but I got no more than 20 pages in before I got a headache. Definately hard going but more than likely worth the effort.

I started Mary Reilly ~ Valerie Martin last night and finished it this afternoon. Fron the acclaimed author of the Orange prize winning 'Property' comes a fresh twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, a noverl told from the prospective of Mary Reilly, Dr Jekyll's dutiful and intelligent housemaid. Faithfully weaving in details from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Martin introduces an original and captivation character: Mary is a survivor - scarred but still strong - familiar with evil, yet brimming with devotion and love. As a bond grows between Mary and her tortured employer, she is sent on errands to unsavoury districts of London and entrusted with secrets she would rather not know... Although that basically sums up the entire book, it is a great story. However I have not read the original and so it probably doesn't hold as much for me as it should. I am however, very interested to read Jekyll and Hyde now to see what I missed.

Erm, well, you see. Slight problem there..... Cinders really liked them and ate them all up......honestly.

I have some flapjacks in the oven at the minute Mmmmmm

he just got a bit too descriptive for me, with hairy legs and big teeth. Mind you I've seen a few of them in my bathroom lol

Unfortunately I can't say Hood got any better for me. I just wasn't interested enough to care about what happened. My historical knowledge is very limited, I was never any good at remembering historical facts especially with numbers. I felt that you needed a decent grounding in history to get the book and so it lacked a little something for me. It also felt like the Hood story was sub plot a lot of the time and that was what I wanted to read about not the other things going on. A shame because I thought this book had a lot of promise. Still persevering with Darren Shan, which in my opinion is still a bit mediocre (sp), I think it put me off a bit with the giant poisonous spider and the buried alive in a coffin bit, I am terrified of spiders and have claustrophobia too. Thanks to O's for recommending it

great, that's your xmas pressie sorted then

I've just been to Waterstone's and for all of you that are interested, they have The Innocent for 99p. A Bargain if you ask me.

looks like this one could be a good read. That's if I remember in December lol

I'm still ploughing my way through Darren Shan. I refuse to start a third book. I'm just not interested at the moment although I am sure it will pick up. Not done too much reading anyway as I was finishing my OU courses.

Great minds and all that

I really enjoyed Stolen, much more than Bitten. It has better plot and the characters develop better in it. I still don't feel like going back to Hood, so I have picked up The Vampire Trilogy ~ Darren Shan

I really enjoyed Stuart: A life backwards. A very touching story in the oddest of ways.

I have read quite a few and have a couple on my shelf. They are books to read when you don't want to concentrate much

Although I am liking Hood, I'm not overly enjoying it at the moment. I have put it to the side for now and have picked up Stolen ~ Kelley Armstrong instead. Elena Michaels is a wanted woman. She hasn't done anything wrong. Well, not recently, anyway. But ten years ago her lover turned her into a werewolf: the only female werewolf in the world, in fact. And now, just as she's finally coming to terms with it all, a group of scientists learns of her existence. They're hunting her down, and Elena is about to run straight into their trap. But they haven't reckoned on Elena's adoptive family, her Pack, who will stop at nothing to get her back. They haven't reckoned on Elena herself, either, and that's a very big mistake...
