Sophie Hannah The Point of Rescue, absolutely fabulous! Great thriller really scarey and believable somehow! I love this series!

Never really got who they all were and am not moving to Chernobyl ! Very depressing indeed. Key Lime Pie a cosy mystery very cosy indeed in fact I want to move there and slap em! Think I may be in a bad mood!

I wrap mine in layers and layers of old plastic bags, the thin rubbish ones that you can't re-use

The whole series was fabulous, I sobbed at the end!

I read it last year, very thoughtful, and clever, sort of stream of consciousness yes

It is!! The only film character who fits the book for me is Aragorn from Lord of the Rings (sigh)

Good romping mystery, very easy. Not sure when in time it was set which was a bit annoying somehow! Wolves eat Dogs Martin Cruz Smith- need to concentrate on the characters!

I'm up for this one: Genres: Thrillers, crime (especially ones in the past), historical and some young adult/fantasyish Artemis Fowl etc Authors: Richard Montanari, Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen, C J Sansom, Chelsea Cain, Susan Hill, Susanna Gregory, M C Beaton, Simon Brett Recommendation: The Rabbit Factory - Marshall Karp: Welcome to Lamaar Studios. Once a small animation house, it has grown into an entertainment conglomerate encompassing movies, television, music, video games, and a sprawling theme park called Familyland.When an actor portraying Familyland's beloved mascot, Rambunctious Rabbit, is brutally murdered on park grounds, Lamaar executives fear that their idyllic public image will be shattered. Feeling pressure from the studio, LAPD Detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs must conduct their investigation while avoiding the public eye.But as more murders are committed, Lomax and Biggs uncover a sinister plot. Someone has a vendetta against Lamaar, a vendetta worth killing for. With the media closing in and political pressure mounting, the partners must race to discover the Lamaar-hating madman before he brings the family entertainment giant to its knees.Bringing a fresh duo of cops to the thriller set, "The Rabbit Factory" is both suspenseful and satiric, a taut mystery wrapped in sharp, comedic prose.

Read them all now too and they are great, not seen his other ones though. Off to look!

Its terrible isn't it and oh is as bad, found ourselves snoring on the settee at about 5pm this afternoon we have a five year old who is heavily into having nightmares at the moment so about 2am we have a screaming child who then fidgets in with us till one of us takes him back, and then this morning he arrives again at 7am and spills my water all over the bed

Elizabeth Peters Borrower of the Night, not a Peabody mystery, Vicky Bliss only on page 3 so not sure yet

I bought it off Amazon and have just risi-ed it or you could have had it!

Falling asleep - that's me - I feel so much better now someone is the same as me!

Mark Billingham Buried - I like thrillers!

I read about 150 books a year and if a book really grips me I can finish it in hours, I like what you are saying, people often say to me that because I read fast I'm not a real reader and don't savour the books. I think we all get different things from reading, and do it differently and isn't that the joy. It's the same with genre, we are all different.

Got it from library, really struggled, then OH bought it for Christmas for me! And with that and your recommendation will start again!

1920s mystery now - Birds of a Feather Jacqueline Winspear great story about a murder in a world still damaged by the First World War.

Ooh I haven't read Middlesex! Tempted now!

Its near the end of the series but didn't really matter that I hadn't read the rest.

Andrew Taylor, Call the Dying, great new series, a bit like Susan Hill's Ian Serailler series but set in the 1950s a very interesting historical period, great mystery.

I read fast, and do forget quickly! Roland I was quite shocked at how many more I read but did have a few spates when I read really quickly!

Here goes, just finished Pillars of Salt by Joanna Bell, very enjoyable. Not sure what to read next though, off to look

Total this year 172. A good year, several new series started and enjoyed lots.

Belatedly there is an episode when Baldrick stands for parliament in a rotten borough

Here are my top ten reads for 2008: 1. Incendiary - Chris Cleave 2. Coroner's Lunch - Colin Cotterill 3. Good Omens - Neil Gaiman (would have been one but listened to it rather than read so felt it was cheating!) 4. Mistress of the Art of Death - Ariana Franklin 5. Before I Die - Jenny Downham 6. Rabbit Factory - Marshall Karp 7. Upstate - Kalista Buchanon 8. Heartsick - Chelsea Cain 9. Sacrifice - S J Bolton 10. Un Lun Dun - China Mieville
