Inanna Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Received another book through the post today! Wideacre by Philippa Gregory from Green Metropolis. Now I can get on with the trilogy which I first read over 15yrs ago So is Wideacre the 2nd book in the series? Have I to get another book to be able to read this triology in order? LOL Quote
Tash Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Wideacre is the first, then The Favoured Child, then Meridon. All three are brilliant Quote
Inanna Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I have this one too Angel, in fact I have about 5 Philippa Gregory books to plow through now :? Enjoy it Quote
Angel Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 I have 7 now and I have enjoyed every one I can't wait for her new one, which is out just before my birthday Quote
Inanna Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 That one does look pretty good doesn't it? It'll make a nice pressie for you, hope your family take the hint lol Quote
Angel Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 Well I have pointed it out a couple of times and it is in my wish list on Amazon LOL I've reminded John of the publishing date a couple of times......LOL Quote
Inanna Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 LOL, don't forget to leave a few post its around the house as well Quote
Maureen Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Yes Angel - perhaps some post-it notes in NEON colours attached to the 'fridge door. Quote
Angel Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 I could attach one to his wallet as well...... Quote
Angel Posted May 4, 2006 Author Posted May 4, 2006 Halfway through Wideacre - I've been a little slack of late!! Although it's 15 yrs (or more!) since I last read this one, it still has the same impact. Who said the Gentry had better morals??? Quote
Angel Posted May 7, 2006 Author Posted May 7, 2006 Finished Wideacre this evening. Philippa Gregory leaves no stone unturned on this one - it has it all - carnal lust, incest, murder, theft etc. This book was as good as when I first read it all those years ago!! No wonder Philippa has stood the test of time Quote
Angel Posted May 8, 2006 Author Posted May 8, 2006 Started Rebecca's Tale this evening. I hope that it lives up to the original, which I absolutely loved Quote
Angel Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 Alas, I'm afraid that for the first time for years I've given up on a book I just could not get into Rebecca's Tale. I think it's because I had such high expectations! I enjoyed Rebecca so much and see it as a true Du Maurier classic. I don't tend to go for books that build on another author's success - they rarely work. This will be the first and last time that I do try Started In the Shadow of the Crown by Jean Plaidy - an old favourite Quote
Lilywhite Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 That's a shame Angel, I loved Rebecca's Tale, but then again I read it before Rebecca so it made the story all the more intriguing for me. Quote
Angel Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 I tried for several days to get into it Lilywhite, but I just could not connect with it! I so hate giving up but in the end I just had to, so I am annoyed in some ways! Still ......I'm enjoying an old favourite now Quote
Angel Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 Finished In the Shadow of the Crown yesterday. Have now started The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. So far, so good Quote
Tiger Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Mum, I think you'll finish The Tenth Circle tonight! Quote
Angel Posted May 20, 2006 Author Posted May 20, 2006 I certainly have Sweetheart!! I really enjoyed it! I found that it was not so emotionally draining as some of her others! Just about to start Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier (Library edition) Quote
Angel Posted May 22, 2006 Author Posted May 22, 2006 I've now completed The Girl witha Pearl Earring. Quite a pleasant light read about a painter and a maid. Will start Playing with Fire by Diana Appleyard later this evening Quote
