[Small Island by Andrea Levy]

I read Small Island last year and loved it

 

I have Every Light In The House Burnin' in my TBR pile and her other books on my reading list. She is very good indeed.

 

I am excited about the TV adaption of SI

[Edward Rutherford]

I'm going to add this to my reading list it sounds great

[My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier]

I finished it a few days ago. I had only read Rebecca and chose MCR because it is said to be the most like Rebecca of all of her books. I wanted something to ease me into other books of hers because I often find that I love a book by a particular author and am then dissapointed by others that they have written.

 

Not the case with MCR. It had that same moody, dark, mysterious feel to it as Rebecca. It was a real page turner and I found myself sitting in awkward positions at night just so that I could read one more page

 

Obviously won't give away the end but if you liked Rebecca then add this to your reading list (all of Du Maurier's books are on mine )

 

The ending had me thinking for a long time... I still haven't made up my mind

[Hi Everyone :)]

Hia to the forum. I'm guessing you're a fellow Harry Potter fan?

 

I am indeed

 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

[Hi Everyone :)]

[Hi Everyone :)]

I have had a little look around and love it so far ... I am a real forum addict once I get started

[My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier]

Has anybody read this book and if so what did you think of it?

[Why Is The Great Gatsby Great?]

Great Gatsby is my all time favourite book and I read it once a year. I love the way that it is written and the way that Fitzgerald captures the hopeless desperation of Jay Gatsby.

 

I always cry at the end without fail

[Bookmarks!]

I have abuot twleve that I shove inside whichever book I am reading. They are postcards, scraps of paper, notes, movie stubs etc etc

[Hi Everyone :)]
