I finished Mineko Iwasaki - Geisha of Gion last night, I have to say, as interesting as the subject matter is, this book reads very much like a history/geography text. I feel it needed a little more time spent on the telling of the story rather than the little details of street names and directions. As I said though, very interesting read about the actual life of a geisha, even if a little boring in places.

I finished The Debt by Roberta Kray today, it started off quite good but I was bored by the end of it. She was billed to be as good as Martina Cole but I did find her lacking in comparison. It's an OK read without much depth, as a first attempt at fiction. I'm sure some of her real stories are much more interesting. I'm gonna start Geisha of Gion tonight. BTW Thanks Kell, my book arrived this morning.

I started and finished The Little House by Philippa Gregory this afternoon. It's not like her historical books but a good story none the less. I found it a bit tepid but the underlying sinister plot keeps you reading. I shall read Roberta Kray - The Debt next I think

I'm loving the library today, usually I can't find anything I want but today I got a whole 5 books in one go! I love that feeling of walking around with so many books you can't carry any more

I've just finished reading The Queens Fool - Philippa Gregory. This is the first Gregory book I've read and I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to start making my way through the others that are starting to pile up..... lol btw thanks Kell

Thank you Kell, it's all packaged up and ready to be posted for you.

ok Kell, I've put that one aside for you. Thanks for the swap, I will put it in the post asap. BTW sickened is quite an interesting read, not as horrific as Dave Pelzers book but still quite bad.

That sounds good to me... all my books are on RISI if you would like to have a look next time your on, i have the same name in there. If not just let me know how much you want for it.

So far enjoying The Queens Fool and I am now on the lookout for any more Philippa Gregory books.

I finished reading Chocolat today, now i'm off to buy some because it's all i thought about whilst reading..... I'm going to read Philippa Gregory - the queens fool next

That sounds like a plan Kell

I started reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris yesterday. What a great book, loving how descriptive she is. (also having to read with the book away from me to stop my mouth watering all over it..... mmmm lovely chocs )

That's a shame Angel, I loved Rebecca's Tale, but then again I read it before Rebecca so it made the story all the more intriguing for me.

yep, I loved it. I just have to stop myself going on and on about it to people who don't really care lol they want an ordinary conversation.

Finished The History of Love by Nicole Krauss this afternoon. A really nice read but a bit overrated IMO. Definately a nice summer read.

Finished Memoirs of a Geisha this evening, this has got to be a contender for my favourite book, not just this year but overall. It's just a lovely story told so well that you really feel everything she goes through. Now I just have to figure out what to follow that one up with lol

I'm still reading Memoirs of a Geisha. I feel like I've been reading it a while but not getting through the pages. It's quite deceptive in its size lol. Still loving it though, I'm completely absorbed.

This one is definately going on my 'to be found' book list (that's a scrapy bit of paper I carry in my back pocket everywhere I go.... just in case) Kat :catlove:

I think I might have to try this one, I think I need a bit of light reading every now and again. I've never read any Sophie Kinsella before, I'm not much of a chick Lit person. I've read the Bridget Jones books and I read Kathy Lette but past that, not much. It might stop the boyfriend pinching my books before I've finished them too lol Kat :catlove:

So far I am

I've started reading Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. Only a couple of chapters in because of other engagements (football) I'm really enjoying it though, it's very well written and it's one of those books that doesn't take much to get you lost in it's story. Kat :catlove:

mmmm I like the sound of these... will have to keep an eye out. Kat :catlove:

You must have patience - I know we're in there somewhere, but after about 10 pages, I gave up! (Unless things have improved?) I think I was very specific in my search criteria for a change lol

I've been looking at the Biography section in the library for a while now and have read a couple. Sharon Osbourne, Tom Finney, William Regal to name a few, and I've also started reading the 'ordinary folk, amazing stories' books too. Are there any you would really recommend as a fantastic read. What other wrestling ones have you read Wizard?? Kat :catlove:
