Just ace, am so glad there are two more
-
There is a sequel, Queen Camilla ? That's great too
-
I have this on tbr, its moving up, will put it out to share when I've finished it if anyone is interested (although may not be for a bit!)
-
I loved this, made me cry (and I don't have a daughter!)
-
This one is on mount TBR - sounds like I will have to tackle it whilst on holiday when I'm not so tired!!
Good plan!
Cross Country James Patterson, vintage Cross, ace
A Man lay Dead Ngaio Marsh enjoyable detective story
Something Borrowed Paul Magrs second in Brenda series, loved the first
-
Titania Hardie, The Rose Labyrinth, a great start!
Not sure about this, should have loved it but somehow the twiddley bits with the labyrinth and the clues got me confused, I got most of the twists and there were far too many of them and the characters and dialogue were really stilted.
A shame because it was a great idea but just not well enough written for me
-
Think I might, (not that I don't have plenty to read!) everyone has something good to say about the series!
-
You see I missed the TV show (between cartoons and sport I rarely get a look in!) and the one I looked at just didn't hook me still may try again!
-
Starting quite well.
What do you think of Dexter? Think its something I would like but can't seem to get into it!
-
Titania Hardie, The Rose Labyrinth, a great start!
-
Good grief! You're reading almost one a day! I must have special needs - which means that at work it's like the blind leading the blind (mind you, my colleagues would have told you this years ago!)
I do read very fast, ask me to remember the characters' names though and I am stumped!!!
You have made me smile
Wendy Holden Azur Like it, good fun
Patricia Cornwell The Front, no Scarpetta who I don't like any more and better
-
Paul Magrs Never the Bride, absolutely ace, great fun and very clever!
-
Celia Brayfield Mr Fabulous and Friends, good fun chicklit for grown ups!
-
Sadomasochism for Accountant, very mad and funny
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society ABSOLUTELY ACE, a quick but fabulous read
-
I think this series is getting better do you?
-
Suffer the Children - Adam Creed Librarything review which I enjoyed, quite gritty police story and a horrible theme but I liked the characters and would be interested in seeing how they develop. A bit like Messiah by Boris Starling for me.
-
Oh Louise - you read far more than me on holiday!! Have you read the other books by James Mc Gee? I think that they are very good
I'm also reading The Westminster Poisoner at the moment!
I think I will read more McGee.
Westminster was good, I think this series is improving
-
How is that? As good as the rest?
Yes in fact I think its getting better, Cross Bones was the worst and they have just got better for me
On holiday I read:
Sarah Rayne Tower of Silence - spooky and clever will read more
Karin Slaughter Martin Misunderstood - very clever
Lee Weeks The Trophy Taker - thriller about a serial killer, again first in a series and would read more
Lady's Night at Finbar's Hotel - lots of different female Irish authors writing different stories about the same hotel, very clever and well crafted
Stuart Pawson The Mushroom Man - second in a series I read the first a few weeks ago, really liked it, love the characters
Lloyd Jones The Book of Fame - by the author of Mr Pip, about the All Black Rugby Tour in 1905, beautifully written, poetic at times and about RUGBY! Very special but glad I read it when I had time to appreciate it!
James McGee The Ratcatcher - I am a history teacher, my Year 8s (12-13 year olds) are doing a project about horrid jobs (factories in the 19th century) and I told them I would read this to find out what it was like to be a ratcatcher, but it was about the Bow Street Runners so no good, but liked the story, sort of Sharpe (on the telly) but after he'd finished. Will find out more probably
Helen Garner The Spare Room 3 in a 3 for 2 in Kendal Waterstones - very interesting Australian take on terminal illness woman lets her old old friend stay in her house while taking an alternative cure for cancer, very sharp view of what it could have been like, not noble or kind just them falling out and feeling angry, refreshing somehow.
Susanna Gregory The Westminster Poisoner - Thomas Chaloner number 3. I like this series about a Restoration law keeper, will read more!
I like holidays and I bought loads more!
-
Birdsong Sebastian Faulks, ace ace ace.
Her Royal Spyness Rhys Bowen, good fun!
-
Finished Devil Bones
Let the Northern Lights Erase your name Vendala Vida - ace, fast moving story of family with a clear plot and brilliant characters.
-
I had never thought about what it would be like not to be able to read, the thought of reading and rereading the Bible was quite thought provoking, then it was wonderful that the books were opening their minds but suddenly it wasn't and did they really need to have their ancient way of life 'spoilt' by books or was it that it was the wrong sort of books and the people who ran the book mobile were just misguided rather than cruel. I am off to your thread to get people to join the book ring as it really made me think!
-
The other Susanna Gregory series about Thomas Challoner in the Restoration are great and I love Ariana Franklin Mistress of the Art of Death is the first, then Death Maze.
-
I loved the Camel Book Mobile.
Alex Kava Exposed great thriller
Kathy Reichs Devil Bones. Good start!
-
Finally finished, good story and I do like the main character but far too long and involved. Although less confusing than earlier ones (maybe because I read it slowly)
The Camel Bookmobile Masha Hamilton. Ace so far
The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde
in Previous Reading Circle Books

Just anything written by JF does me, agree that do need to have some understanding of nursery rhymes to get all of this, and the next in the series but for me great fun!
