The Grey and A Prophet

Finished The Buried Circle by Jenni Mills. Set in and around the stone circle in 1938/42/2005. 4/5 Will have a night off reading and start The Hunger Trace by Edward Hogan bright & early!

Has anyone read any of the Lake District crime novels by Martin Edwards?

Started The Buried Circle by Jenni Mills last night. It's set in Avebury in 1938 and 2005,and yep the standing stones are leading characters!

That's my favourite by McCammon. Half way thru Barry Unsworth's Sacred Hunger set in 1752 about a surgeon's first voyage on an Africa bound slave ship.

Jane Eyre(2011) Quite enjoyed this adaption and the two leads were very good,but just expected more.

Started The Tenderness Of Wolves by Stef Penney this morning.

The last film I saw Super 8 and give it an 8/10. Enjoyed it,but thought the ending was a bit rushed and it got too sentimental.

Started The Railway Viaduct by Edward Marston before work this morning. Light,but enjoyable reading. Victorian railway-based crime series no.3.

I'm about 150 pages into Room by Emma Donoghue,and I'm really enjoying. At first I was re-reading bits til I tuned in with Jack's 5 yr old viewpoint,but it's been a great read since. I actually bought Room last November,but kept chickening out because of the child's narration,but it makes the story.

Meek's Cut-Off. 7/10. Not a bad film,if a little slow. It's about American settlers who get lost in Oregon 1845. Stars Bruce Greenwood,Michelle Williams & Will Patton.

Will probably finish Awakening by William Horwood tonight-a nature fantasy revolving around the seasons set in modern day England and parallel Hyddenworld. Very good. Room by Emma Donahue could well be next up.

Read about 40 pages of Awakening by William Horwood between 6-7am as even tho it's my day off I couldn't sleep-in,and then another 20 or so sat out in the sun 2 hrs ago.

Started Awakening by William Horwood this morning.

I've only got a dozen pages of Susan Hill's Victorian ghost story,'The Mist In The Mirror' left to read,and will finish it tonight,and expecting a great ending!

Started Susan Hill's ghost story The Mist In The Mirror this morning.

Oh right,thanks for the info. I'm not a driver myself,but noticed it in recent months,and thought it must be some cool new trend!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett-looking forward to the movie. Closely followed by Fires In The Dark by Louise Doughty,Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden & Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson.

Current shows I'm really enjoying are The Hour,In Treatment,Single-Handed & Shooting Stars. My two favourite all-time shows are Robin Of Sherwood & Hill Street Blues.

Drivers who have their headlights blazing in broad daylight! I've noticed it's quite common,as if it's some kind of new craze! And those who chat away on their mobiles while driving-I saw a nurse doing it earlier today!

Submarine-quirky,tho maybe they took the weirdness too far,but still enjoyable and has a great soundtrack.

Hi everyone. This is kind of a re-introduction as I've been a member for two years,but have stuck mainly to booky topics! I might not have even introduced myself at all! Any way,I'd like to take part in the general chat stuff too. I'm 45,married with one son at college. As well as books I'm into biking,hiking,nature,photography,tv&movies and music. I read right across the genres,and my favourite three books are Watership Down by Richard Adams,Sophie's Choice by William Styron & Regeneration by Pat Barker. Hope to see ya'll in the chat.

I've got about 50 pages to go of Revelation by C.J Sansom-a great read as ever.

I'm about 100 pages into Revelation,C.J Samson's 4th Shardlake novel. It's like revisiting old friends!
