What's this one about Maureen?? I've never heard of it but it sounds intriguing... Kat :catlove:

Ah, Rebecca, a firm favourite of mine. I absolutely love this book. Have you read Rebecca's Tale? I think it's by Sally Beauman but don't hold me to that.... a quick check on Amazon and yes it is. Another great tale that added extra dimesions to the book I already loved. Kat :catlove:

I started and finished Tigers Child by Torey Hayden today, it's the follow up to one child. It answers you questions about the main two characters and ends the whole story on a high note. A great read, especially if you enjoyed One Child previously. Kat :catlove:

I finished One Child today, it does have a very emotional ending but it's a good one at least. A brilliant story made all the more emotional by the fact that it's true. I have a couple more of Torey Hayden to read in the future and I'm looking forward to them all the more now. Not sure what I'll read next, we'll see where the day takes me. Kat :catlove:

I'm about half way through One Child by Torey Hayden and I'm really enjoying it. Torey Hayden works as a special needs teacher and has put a few of her cases into books. This one is about a six year old girl with extreme disruptive and violent tendencies, and Torey's challenge in getting through to her. A brilliant book, and a real eye opener into the psychology of children. Kat :catlove:

it's great Tiger, it's the sequel to A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer and it's his life story about being badly abused by his mother and how he got away. Very powerful and a very moving story. Not one to read without the tissues..... Kat :catlove:

I finished the Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer. What a heartbreaking story, I'm so glad that it all seems ok for him now. It's a fantastic set of books that really makes you think and I love that in a book. I did the eeny meeny miny mo thing again and picked up Torey Hayden - One Child. Kat :catlove:

Due to the peace and quiet I was able to read the Take in two sittings. Quite a good read, not her best but still a good read. Started on The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer last night, so far in it's not as horrible as the first book and it's good to see things looking up for him. Kat :catlove:

I haven't had any time to read the past few days as we had guests staying over and I thought it a bit too rude to sneak off with my book at the first chance lol Anyway, my boyfriend is going away this afternoon for a long weekend so it looks like I might be able to squeeze in a few hours reading I managed to get Martina Cole - The Take from the library finally so I think that will be first. Hooray for Bank Holidays Kat :catlove:

I finished From a Buick 8 tonight, it was ok, well written and with Stephen King in general but i found he went a bit too sci-fi in the end instead of horror. He did the same thing with dreamcatcher and it kinda ruined the end of the story. I still found it a good read though, just not my kind of story. not sure what I will read next.... kat :catlove:

I did finish it in the end, and it's a great story although it is pretty harrowing. I think I will read the next ones to see how his life turns out. Started reading Stephen King - From a Buick 8 I started reading this one last year and never got round to finishing it, so I started it again (because I forgot how it goes lol) Kat :catlove:

I started reading Dave Pelzer's - A Child Called 'It' this afternoon as it was just sat looking at me from the table. So far, an amazing story but not one for the faint hearted. You really feel for this boy and want to read on but a few times I had to put this one down to compose myself again. Kat :catlove:

Make sure to put aside plenty of time because you might not want to put it down once you've started Kat :catlove:

I finished reading Vanish today by Tess Gerritsen and I think I've found my favourite so far. An absolutley brilliant read. I still have the 'after book haze' where i've finished reading a book but I've been so engrossed I have to adjust back to the real world Highly recommended.

Just finished Tess Gerritsen - The Surgeon I didn't enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed the Apprentice but it was still a good read none the less. I like the actual plot of the books but I don't like the 'only female cop on the entire force, so i got to have an attitude' kind of characters. When the lead cop isn't moaning about being female it's a great book. I may just read Vanish next.... kat :catlove:

it should be fine as long as the postman doesn't quit , I might actually have to go out and physically find books then..... oh no :shock: Just finished Kathy Lette - How to kill your husband. I really enjoyed this one (can you tell by the reading it all in one sitting??) and in usual Kathy Lette style, it had me girly-giggling away to jokes that the other half just didn't get, no matter how much I explained. A great girly read and highly recommended. Kat :catlove:

Thanks for that Kell, I found it difficult to find his books in order so I now just read what I can find. I may have just been to the library so my 'to be read' pile has just gotten a lot larger not to mention Read It Swap It..... nobody said it was addictive..... anybody know where RISI ANON is?? (and id there a computer terminal near by to check the latest books) It's that bad i had two deliveries of post this morning!!!! It's a good job its getting lighter out now, more daylight reading hours lol Kat :catlove:

I will have to look out for those Kell, I only pick Pratchett up as and when I see them, which isn't very often in my library lol I'm all new to the discworld and the world of Pratchett having only picked up my first book this year, but I'm fast becoming a huge fan. Kat :catlove:

i finished it this afternoon. I thought the end was a bit rushed but apart from that an excellent read. I've now picked up night watch by terry pratchett. Kat :catlove:

I really enjoyed the Tess Gerritsen book, i'm keeping an eye out for more. I started the Gormenghast Trilogy but found it quite difficult to read, it takes a lot more attention than I have right now. I picked up Patricia Cornwell instead, cruel & unusual. I'm really enjoying it so far. Some parts I feel like I read this book before even though I know I haven't, because it's very similar to her fist couple of books. Other than that a great read. Kat :catlove:

i did, i was a bit too late to join it though. I don't think I would have minded a reason to re-read it. Kat :catlove:

I must admit My Sisters Keeper is still by far the best, it reduced me to tears. The others aren't far behind though, such as The Pact, another great read. Kat :catlove:

I have been looking out for this one, will have to be extra vigilant now.... I have read most of these books and I absolutely love them. Kat :catlove:

I started this one last night and I'm enjoying it so far. I can see myself reading more by Tess Gerritsen in the future. Kat :catlove:

it's on my want to read list.... i'll get there eventually Have decided on Tess Gerritson - The Apprentice for my next read. Kat :catlove:
