Hi Bev!

Captain Corelli's Mandolin. So many people talked about how this was their favourite book ever, yet I was so underwhelmed by it, I even put fingers to keyboard on amazon.co.uk to explain my 1 star rating - something I'd never done before, nor since, on any book I've read (although now I come here to vent my spleen instead).

(The much-rejected book 4 is similar to A LIFETIME BURNING, but not such a shocker.)
Well you definitely have at least one sale lined up for book 4 when it gets published, as you know how much I enjoyed our discussion on ALB

Breaking Dawn Stephenie Meyer
I am now totally bereft as i have finished all of the Twilight books. They are not that well written and the plot and characterisations are not that well defined but there is just something about them that is totally irresistible.Ii will be reading all of the books again soon this year. Just pure pleasure to read and i so want an Edward.
10/10
That sums them up perfectly, Joe! I think that if you've loved them as much as that, then they'll definitely stand up to rereading them (which I've done many times!), but I'd also say, as a fan of Edward you should read the partial draft of Midnight Sun (available on Stephenie's website). Just an extra fix for the Twilight fan

I only read for pleasure, however, some of my books are educational and I do learn from them, just not related to my work and most are science books. After taking an A level in Environmental Science a few years back (purely for fun), I've gained an interest in natural sciences and environmental issues, so do try to read non fiction around this subject. Fiction, though, is always for pleasure and escapism.

I put "The Blue Last" into google, and the second hit was this http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/067003004X.asp which seems to confirm that this book does involve a trip to Italy to authenticate a painting.

I recently researched this as I have been reading through Northanger Abbey where Austen makes several references to it
I noticed quite a few titles in Waterstone's on Saturday that looked familiar, including this one and The Monk, and I wondered if one of the publishers has decided to reprint some of these gothic novels referenced in Northanger Abbey.

Bought my own copy of Howards End Is On The Landing by Susan Hill, plus Free Love and Other Stories by Ali Smith.
Read about another 70 pages of Eleven Minutes Late

Perhaps you could tell us a bit more about the books? Who wrote them? Have you read them yourself, and if so what did you think of them?
The title sounds intriguing, so I'd be interested to see a few more details on them
