Angel Posted July 9, 2006 Author Posted July 9, 2006 Finished Never Too Late - true Cathy Kelly! A lovely light-hearted read! I can't wait to get her new one. Just starting Erica James - Gardens of Delight Quote
Angel Posted July 16, 2006 Author Posted July 16, 2006 Still only half way through The Gardens of Delight! Trouble is every time I've attempted to read, Only Fools on Horses came on - absolutely no chance. Now beginning to 'catch up' now that it's finished Quote
Angel Posted July 19, 2006 Author Posted July 19, 2006 Finished Gardens of Delight - a light hearted read which picked up when the gorgeous Italian came on the scene! Will start The Oxford Murders tonight by Guillermo Martinez Quote
Angel Posted July 21, 2006 Author Posted July 21, 2006 Finished The Oxford Murders. Not too bad a read, I had guessed correctly the main murderer. but the second murderer was a little bit of a surprise. This is not a book that has great depth, but the maths theories and ideas of logic need a leap of understanding when reading if you are tired!! LOL Quote
Angel Posted July 23, 2006 Author Posted July 23, 2006 Started a book by a new author to me - Patricia Finney - Unicorn's Blood. I t set in the Tudor Court of Elizabeth. Nearly half way through and it is fairly good Quote
Angel Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 Really enjoyed Unicorn's Blood. This book really caught the essence of the Elizabethan era. Will definately read more of her books Quote
Lilywhite Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 If I ever made a dent in my TBR pile I might try this one, it sounds like you really enjoyed it. I'm always a little more willing to pick up a book if I know someone else enjoyed it. Quote
Angel Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Next time I go to the library I am intending to get another book by her! The blurb on some of them was quite good. Now I'm just starting Making Your Mind Up by Gill Mansell Quote
Angel Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Making Your Mind Up was pure chick lit - and I really enjoyed it! Will start Not That Kind of Girl tonight by Catherine Alliott Quote
Angel Posted August 5, 2006 Author Posted August 5, 2006 I really enjoyed Not That Kind of Girl. Yes it was rmance / chick lit but I'm in dire need of relaxing and this hit the right notes! Now started Fatal Majesty :a novel of Mary Queen of Scots by Reay Tannahill - a new author to me Was very weak willed today and went into Warestones, bought the children a few books and treated myself to the 3rd get one free from both!! Acquired The Island by Victoria Hislop and My Best Friends Girl by Dorothy Koomson. Both are Richard and Judy listed summer reads Quote
Angel Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Fatal Majesty is great - really enjoying it 2/3 rds through it. Quote
Angel Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Will finish Fatal Majesty tonight - only 50 pages to go. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Will take the following books on holiday:- Karen Fowler - The Jane Austen Book Club Kate Long - Swallowing Grandma Maeve Binchy - The Copper Beech Victoria Hislop - The Island Quote
Kell Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I've read JABC - liked it a lot. Hope you enjoy it too. Quote
Angel Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Kell, I've just started it - it never made it into the suitcase It does promise to be a good one Quote
Angel Posted August 19, 2006 Author Posted August 19, 2006 Read 3 1/2 of my books on holiday - glorious days reading on the beach! Did not really take to JABC although I did finish it. I found it to be rather fragmented and did little justice to Jane Austen herself! The Island was my best read yet this year. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I will definately reread this one again. I heartily recommend this one - a fab. book Swallowing Grandma was a light hearted read much in the same vein as The Bad Mother's Handbook. Now reading the Copper Beech by Maeve Binchy Quote
Angel Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Finished The Cpper Beech, I was not impressed with this one. Definately not one of Maeve Binchy's better ones. Started Stately Pursuits by Katie Fforde Quote
Angel Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 Stately Pursuits was good - very Katie Fforde. Funny and romantic chick -lit Started a classic this evening by one of my all-time favourites, Desperate Remedies by Thomas Hardy. One of his minor works. Quote
Angel Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 It took a while to get into Desperate Remedies - but I'm glad I stayed with it. Although viewed as a minor work I enjoyed this one. An early work of Hardy's and one can see and feel how this author will develop into one of Britain's finest writers. Starting The Devil's Priest - Kate Ellis Quote
Angel Posted August 30, 2006 Author Posted August 30, 2006 Finished The Devil's Priest. A very good read. Will start Not Married, Not Bothered by Carol Clewlow tonight Quote
Angel Posted August 31, 2006 Author Posted August 31, 2006 Couldn't get into Not Married, Not Bothered. I think that it was the style of writing - this is a very rare occurance for me to take an instant dislike to a book :shock: Started Katie Fforde's Paradise Fields and enjoying it!! Quote
Icecream Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I'm not married, and not bothered lol. Book was probably from a single person's perspective though! Quote
Angel Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 Starting Philippa Gregory's A Respectable Trade Quote
Louiseog Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Starting Philippa Gregory's A Respectable Trade I've only read one of hers, The other Boleyn Girl. I loved it and should really get round to reading more!! Quote
Angel Posted September 9, 2006 Author Posted September 9, 2006 2'3rds through A Respectable Trade - am really enjoying it. Topped up on library books today Quote
