Joseph Kanon - The Good German. OK too many characters, too many twists, lost the way.
-
Ooh I liked that one! (Savage Garden that is)
-
The White Tiger, had this out of the library, then took it back, then got it out again, then back, then bought it and actually its quite good! For me its like Q and A (Slumdog Millionaire) which I did like and I feel like the person who wrote it knows what its like to live in India etc. Haven't finished it yet though and its building to quite a clever twist!

I often like your recommendations Michelle, not in a crawly way but just must have similar tastes!

The Household Guide to Dying by Debra Adelaide
Louiseog replied to Michelle's topic in General Fiction
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Michelle. A whole section which I don't think spoils it about what you should be reading when you die, and how you don't want to be breathing you last while trying to find out whether Jane Eyre marries Mr Rochester! And I laughed! Definitely needs to be read carefully or the many layers which remove the sentimentality are lost. -
I was just thinking that, my library has no more in of hers in this series and they are great! Debra Adelaide Household Guide to Dying, why oh why can something so sad make me laugh out loud
-
The Beekeeper's Apprentice Laurie M King. I LOVED this! The lost stories of Sherlock Holmes' clever apprentice Mary Russell. Very clever
-
I enjoyed it!
-
Would put it in the book ring but is a lend from a friend! Susanna Greagory The Butcher of Smithfield, murder mystery in Restoration London, third in a very good series
-
Am finding it fascinating and thrilling at the same time, a murder mystery along with the story of the early Mormon church and attitudes to polygamy. Written in form of older books, the thriller, then historical articles.
-
Stopped the Household Guide to Dying or never started it, instead went for the 19th Wife which is fabulous!
-
No! Bumping it up now!
-
And then gave up! Not in the mood. Then gave up on Inside the Whale Jenny Rooney ! Then Life on the Refrigerator Door, which has returned my reading mojo! The Household Guide to Dying Debra Adelaide on a theme

Life on the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers
Louiseog replied to Michelle's topic in General Fiction
I loved this and my entirely male household thought I was very soppy. -
It's supposed to be about Dickens, quite Victorian but readable. Not that far in!
-
Soul Collector Paul Johnston thrilling and scarey definitely read more The Girl in the Blue Dress?
-
Death in the Stocks Georgette Heyer
-
Baking Cakes in Kigali, Gaile Parkin absolutely great so far
-
People of the book was great, the story of the restoration of a Jewish haggadah and its history melded together, loved it. The Yorkshire Pudding Club Milly Johnson, three friends nearing 40 all fall pregnant. It ends happy!
-
Christine Falls Benjamin Black, thriller set in 1950s Ireland OK People of the Book Geraldine Brooks
-
I have a real thing about chick lit, I like it lots but can also see why people don't, as we all have different tastes and favourite genres no problem there. Do think that there is a school of thought (not on here) to look down on chick lit (and therefore the people who read it) because it is light, written mainly by women for women and that makes me cross!

It does get going, never races along but suddenly I was gripped. I know what you mean about enjoy!
