I picked it up at the library, tell O's not to panic it won't make you cry....honest (Ps he's still alive!!!!! Pps... its a quick read (well I got through it in a day!)

My Cousin Rachel is top of my list to get hold as soon as possible.

Aww love lurchers, any pics Kitty?

Hello and welcome Carm

Sounds like heaven, enjoy Moonchild.

How much is paid membership on the library thing?

Since joining BCF my reading mojo has increased. Up until then I had bursts of reading then not touch a book for months, now I constantly have a book on the go.

I think it's a lovely idea PDR and no I have not read Rebecca before so i am looking forward to it.

I'll try and finish TVAOEL and start Rebecca in her honour!

I've joined too.

Finished Walking Ollie yesterday, a light very enjoyable read. It had me giggling in places as a previous lurcher owner i could relate to what he was saying although our lurcher was a very well behaved sweet thing, she too was a rescue dog and to the day she died she was afraid of feet because apparently she was kicked as a puppy and she never forgot. Next is The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell

yes mine says 4 members have it on their lists

I've got An Open Vein on mine too!

Looks like i have 4 not shared with anyone else! Dancing With His Heart - Katherine Warwick Queen of Tamborine - Jane Garden Mistral's Daughter - Judith Krantz The Mallon Trilogy - Catherine Cookson

Hmm I have it on my list!

How do you know? Sorry it might sound like a dumb question.

I've just created my list, looks like it could be fun! (But it could take me a while to list everything!!!)

I read it last year and although I wouldn't go as far as saying I loved it, I did enjoy it and was a memorable read.

It's very tempting...

It is an excellent book Nici.

Well I finished Cross Bones last night. I wasn't as impressed with this one as I personally thought it was a bit far fetched in places, and I'll admit to getting a bit lost with some of the technical aspects i.e. certain strands of DNA analysis. On the whole it was ok so i gave it 6.5/10. Next one Walking Ollie by Stephen Foster One winter's afternoon, Stephen Foster walks into a dog re-homing centre with the intention of picking up a retired greyhound. Instead, he acquires an abandoned lurcher pup. Foster's knowledge of dogs is so vague that he has to look up 'lurcher' in the key reference work The Giant Book of the Dog, to find out what sort of animal is coming to join the family. Walking Ollie is for anyone who has ever loved a dog - a hilarious and very touching account of one man's struggle to turn a decidedly difficult animal into something resembling a domestic pet....

I got Oryx and Crake from then library so i'll be reading it soon.

I've given up counting

Twilight Children was another great book from Torey, it made a change reading about her in a hospital environment rather than a school one. Next one... Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs An orthodox Jew is found shot dead in Montreal, the mutilated body barely recognisable. Extreme heat has accelerated decomposition and made it virtually impossible to determine the bullet trajectory. But just as forensic anthrapologist Dr Temperance Brennan is attempting to make sense of the fracture patterning, a mysterious stranger slips her a photograph of a skeleton, assuring her it holds the key to the victim's death. The trail of clues leads all the way to the Holy Land where, together with detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe makes a startling discovery - but the further Tempe probes into the identity of the ancient skeleton, the more she seems to be putting herself in danger...

Thanks for that, i'll look out for it next time i'm there. Emma and I sounds good too.
