Hello and welcome to the forum.

Just munching my way through a ham salad, very boring really.

Great review Gyre, this one is definately going on the 'wish list'.

Well I finally managed to finish S&S and seeing as it was my first venture into Jane Austen books I really enjoyed it. I also managed to see the Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson adaptation and loved it. I'm looking forward to reading more of Austen's work.

Hello and welcome Red Alligator.

Hello and welcome Mike

I knew there was someone else, his name was on the tip of my tongue

Karin Slaughter might be worth a look too. Welcome to the forum by the way 'little duck'.

Managed to finish Boy A last night, can't say I was overly impressed with it. . The only people I had any sympathy for were Terry and Michelle. The ending left a few lose ends. Don't think I'll rush to read any more of his work. Next up.... Harvest by Tess Gerritsen Medical resident Dr. Abby Matteo is elated when the elite cardiac transplant team at Boston's Bayside Hospital taps her as a potential recruit. But faced with a tormenting life-and-death decision, Abby helps direct a crash victim's harvested heart to a dying teenager - instead of the wealthy older woman who was supposed to receive it. The repercussions leave Abby shaken and plagued with self doubt. Suddenly, a new heart appears, and the woman's transplant is completed. Then Abby makes a terrible discovery. The donor records have been falsified - the new heart has not come through the proper channels. Defying the hospital's demands for silence, she begins her own investigation that reveals a murderous, unthinkable conspiracy. Every move Abby makes spawns a vicious backlash...and on a ship anchored in the waters of Boston harbor, the grisly truth lies waiting...

Thats lovely Muggles, looks too good to eat.

I couldn't have put it better myself

I'd have to have a zebra, but failing that a tiger as long as it was black and white striped

Hello and welcome Slim.

Roast Beef and all the trimmings

Hello and welcome z10.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Finished The surgeon this afternoon, what a great start to a series and with the taster of The Apprentice at the back I'm itching to read that too! When developing a main character like Rizzoli or Isles do you base the characteristics on people you know?

Just finished The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen, a great read had me hooked from the start. Can't wait to get hold of the next one after reading the first part at the end of the book. Next up... Boy A by Jonathan Trigell - bookring book. Jack has spent most of his life in juvenille institutions; he's about to be released with a new name, new job, and a new life. At 24, he is utterly innocent of the world, yet guilty of a monsterous childhood crime. To his new friends, he is a good guy with occasional flashes of unexplained violence. To his girlfriend, he is strangely naive and unreachable. To his case worker, he is a victim of the system and of media-driven hysteria. And to himself, Jack is on permanent trial: he struggles to start from scratch, forget the past, become someone else.

We always had turkey at Easter but this year we are having Roast beef

I normally stick to just one at a time but for some strange reason this last few weeks I've ended up starting 4 which is a first for me!

Hello and welcome Fae, I'm sure you'll find lots of new books to add to your notebook. My wish list must be nearly as long as Mt TBR thanks to BCF!

Hello and welcome to the forum Natalie.

Sounds lovely F&C. Bacon butties for me tonight.

No, but I'll look out for it KW. I've now got 3 books on the go as I am reading Tess Gerritsens The Surgeon, the other 2 are hardbacks so difficult to carry round.
