Chimera Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 And me, have really loved both of his books in spite of myself (does that make sense, everyone said they were fab,l and normally that's bad for me but they were!) I see what you mean... Running away from the latest bestsellers are you? I'm a bit of the same but I've found lately that I do enjoy those that I try (The Kite Runner one of them) so I'm probably missing out on some great reads! Quote
Louiseog Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) I see what you mean... Running away from the latest bestsellers are you? I'm a bit of the same but I've found lately that I do enjoy those that I try (The Kite Runner one of them) so I'm probably missing out on some great reads! YOu are right, I do try and read bestsellers although Richard and Judy passed me by this year apart from the Outcast and Thousand Splendid Suns. Have decided to read what I think I'll like! Tess Gerritsen Keeping the Dead, absolutely ace. Wendy Holden - Femme Fatale, great, funny and light Catherine O'Flynn What was Lost - promising start! Edited November 17, 2008 by Louiseog Quote
Louiseog Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 And a promising middle and end, especially as the only place it could be set is 3mins from home! Cecelia Ahern Thanks for the Memories, OK Quote
muggle not Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 And what is your next couple reads. I hope it is something that you really enjoy. Quote
Roland Butter Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 And a promising middle and end, especially as the only place it could be set is 3mins from home! You're difficult to keep up with sometimes! Which one was that? What Was Lost? Loved that book! Quote
Louiseog Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 Am on a roll and yes it was What was Lost, the woman who wrote it worked at Merry Hill shopping centre for 20 odd years, there was a lot of it in the book! Kathryn Fox Malicious Intent, thriller but not very (thrilling) Wendy Holden Filty Rich good fun Quote
Angel Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Filthy Rich is in the library pile that I piked up on Saturday - look forward to hearingwhat you think of it Quote
Louiseog Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 I do like Wendy Holden, she has a very wry take on society and this did not disappoint! Real caricatures of people and goodies generally come out OK. Fun Marshall Karp - The Rabbit Factory great fun, book of the month for a book club and really enjoying it. Quote
