[Not buying any more books]

Tried and failed to do this, even though my mojo has abandoned me I still can't resist buying books! Mt TBR now stands at 191

[Do you play a musical instrument?]

I learnt to play the recorder at junior school and can still play greensleeves I had violin lessons for 3 years at secondary school and at one point was in the school orchestra. I remember having a few guitar lessons when I was younger too but what I would really love to do is learn to play the piano - might just have to set myself a goal there.

[Never Ending Song Titles (Part 7)]

Travelling light - Cliff Richard

[The Last Film You Saw]

[Chatroom: Group Discussion 6/26/2011]

I agree Ben, sorry I couldn't stay longer. Will do better next time

[Emotional Geology by Linda Gillard]

Linda has just made this one available for the kindle, and it's only £1.90.

Off to buy now

[Has anyone read...?]

I've read some of her books too, easy reading and not too taxing on the brain

[Your Book Activity Today ~ Thread 15]

I bought Linda Gillard's bl**dy brilliant 'Emotional Geology' on Kindle today. Only £1.90!

Bargain! fab book too

 

I am still reading Lesley Pearse 'Never Look Back', have to keep putting it down as I keep crying reading it, some parts of the book just makes you sob.

This was the first LP book I read and it had me in tears too but I loved it

 

I've not read anything for about a week now I'm really missing my mojo again, the little blighter has done another runner

[Katie from London]

Hello and welcome

[What are you drinking just now?]

Same here but just a drop of milk in mine

[Kindle]

Yep I've downloaded a few cheapies including Karin Slaughter's new one for 49p and got Jeffery Archer's Kane & Able for free. In fact almost all my books on the kindle were either free or less than £1.50.

[Hello]

Hello and welcome Hugo

[Your Book Activity Today ~ Thread 15]

Been away for a week, and now have an almost empty Kindle, so book activity today will involve downloading some new books, updating book lists and writing a few reviews

Chesil has nicked all our mojo's

 

Although I want to read I'm lacking motivation right now, I know it is down to things going on in my life right now so hopefully it will resolve itself in the next few days

[Scary Biscuits]

Hello and welcome DT, I'm sure you will love it here

[Kate Morton fans, who to try next?]

If you like the to and fro from present to past you might like Kate Mosse, I really enjoyed Labyrinth and I have The Winter Ghosts on Mt TBR.

[Sad/Thought Provoking/Romantic Books]

Linda Gillard writes thought provoking books that stay with you, and are definitely stories about love (among other things).

Emotional Geology

Star Gazing

A Lifetime Burning

House Of Silence (this one on Kindle only)

 

Kazuo Ishiguro is another author whose writes books that stay with you. The two I have read are quiet penetrating pieces; 'Never Let Me Go' and 'The Remains Of The Day'.

I'll second LG's books

[Your Book Activity Today ~ Thread 14]

I finished Lesley Pearse 'Trust Me', talk about a tearful book, reduced to tears so many times. Now I am reading Lesley Pearse 'Secrets', which is very good, into her books at the moment.

 

This was the first LP book I read and it had the same effect I think she is a fab author and have almost all of her books now.

[Madcow's Reading 2011]

Never Trust Anyone by Keira O'Brady

 

My dad mad me promise that I wouldn't write about my life until he died, twenty years after he passed away I finally found the courage to write it. This is my true story wrote in my own words and tells how I was left after my mum's death at the age of nine years to suffer physical, mental, sexual and cruel abuse at the hands of my dad and others I thought I could trust.

 

You may find my story alarming, disturbing and tearful but also humorous.....

Be interested to hear what you think of this one, I personally loved it

 

Finished Sam Hayes' Someone Else's Son yesterday, another fab read from her. So far I've enjoyed all of her books and like Linda Gillard she has yet to disappoint.
