Finished The Sinner whilst sat at the dentist waiting for tooth to be removed. This is the first book of hers i've read and quite enjoyed it. Same sort of style as Karin Slaughter and Kathy Reichs. I've got a couple more TG books on Mt TBR so I might just get to read them soon (ish!). Next up The Cruel Mother by Sian Busby In 1919 Sian Busby's great-grandmother, Beth, gave birth to triplets. One of the babies died at birth and eleven days later she drowned the surviving twins in a bath of cold water. She was sentenced to an indefinite term of imprisonment at Broadmoor. The murder and the deep sense of shame it generated obviously affected Beth, her husband and their surviving children to an extraordinary degree, but it also resounded through the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It gave rise to a collective anxiety about their family's ability to parent and an obsessive fear of hereditary insanity. In Sian's case, ill-suppressed knowledge of the event manifested itself in recurring nightmares and contributed towards a prolonged bout of post-natal depression. After the birth of her second son, she decided to investigate the story once and for all and lay to rest the ghosts which have haunted the family for 80 years...

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Can't wait for Ashes to Ashes Gene Hunt is a brilliant character. Roll on Thursday

Hello and welcome.

I think i have a copy of this on Mt TBR, it sounds a good read. Currently reading my first Tess Gerritsen book and enjoying it.

OMG I'd rather give up chocolate I do think it is a bloke thing though because today all I said was I'm going in the other room to snuggle up on the sofa and read for a while and low and behold hubby, daughter and 2 dogs followed me then got miffed when i ignored them

Scrambled egg on toast with cheese me thinks, I need comfort food

I've read one or two of hers but for the life of me I can't remember the titles!

Hello Jenni and welcome, I also enjoy Jodi's books MSK was by far the best. Look forward to seeing you around the forum.

Well I've entered, nothing to lose eh!

That does sound good Megan. We're having beef olives, mashed potatoes and plenty of veggies.

Finished The Tenth Circle last night, another good read from Jodi Picoult, not sure about the cartoons but they did fit in with the story. Even managed to find the secret quote hidden in the cartoons! Next on the list... The Sinner - Tess Gerritsen Not even the icy temperatures of a typical New England winter can match the bone-chilling scene of carnage discovered in the early morning hours at the chapel of Our Lady of Divine Light. Within the sanctuary walls of the cloistered convent, now stained with blood, lie two nuns - one dead, one critically injured; victims of an unspeakably savage attacker...

egg on toast, couldn't be bothered cooking tonight.

Speak for yourself Roland Hello and welcome Rod.

Steak, roasted peppers and onions with jacket potato.

I've got this on mount TBR, look forward to hearing what you think of it.

I reading it at the moment and enjoying it, MSK was better but it's still a good read and yes i wasn't expecting the cartoons but it fits in with the story.

I got a reminder today too. Oops not sure what to say cos I couldn't finish it!

Sounds like a great read going to add it to my wish list.

My mum used to bake great puds and cakes, Wednesday's was breadmaking and Saturday's was cakes, always looked forward to weekends, ginger cake, coconut sponge, eve's pudding, rice pudding, home made ice-cream and lemon merenges. Makes my mouth water just thinking about them. She also used to make her own Christmas cakes, she doesn't bother now we have all left home.
