~Andrea~ Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Death of a Prankster MC Beaton, good Hamish Macbeth mystery Ooh are they any good? I used to love the TV series. Quote
Louiseog Posted February 14, 2009 Author Posted February 14, 2009 I love Agatha Raisin and these are as easy Quote
Louiseog Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 The Seduction of Water, Carol Goodman I really enjoyed this story but have forgotten the plot! On holiday I read: Who's that Girl Alexander Potter - what happens when your 30 year old self meets its 20 year old version good fun, who learns from whom! Crossed Bones Jane Johnson - great fun pirates and history really interesting Tainted Blood Arnuldur Indriason (sp) - grim murder mystery set in Iceland (I read it all in an accent!) Nightmare Academy Monster Revenge Dean Lorey - HP/Artemis Fowl lite OK Savage Garden Mark Mills - murder mystery in 1940s Florence, very clever although ending was a bit of a let down Bait Nick Brownlee - easy thriller set in Kenya, very fast moving and thrilling The Overlook Michael Connolly - post 9/11 thriller but is the murder of a physicist all as it seems? Now reading The Harmony Silk Factory Tash Aw, good start but read it on flight home so will need to reread as was too busy praying! Quote
Lucybird Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Was Who's the girl? Good? It sounds like it could be if well written Quote
Louiseog Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 I thought so, this is the second book I've read by Alexander Potter and they are a bit quirky! Very clever idea Quote
chesilbeach Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I would recommend Alexandra Potter's first two books, What's New, Pussycat? and Going La La, which are my favourite of her books. They were straight forward rom com chick-lit novels, and very entertaining. She changed publishers after her third book, and I didn't enjoy the first couple of books with her new publisher, but Me & Mr. Darcy was a lot better, and this one, Who's That Girl? was very enjoyable.

Louiseog Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Off to look thanks for the recommendation Quote
Louiseog Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 the Harmony Silk Factory by Tash Aw - interesting lots to think about, the same story told by three different people clever but not sure I understood it all! Quote
Louiseog Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Comfort Food, Kate Jacobs. I enjoyed Friday Night Knitting Club by this author and although not as harrowing this tackled similar themes, cooking this time, easy and light and everyone happy at the end. Quote
Louiseog Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Charlie Connelly And Did those Feet.... I don't often read non fiction but enjoyed Attention all Shipping by this author. This was great, it followed great historical journeys and Connelly walked the routes of several of these, well researched, informative and made me laugh. Ace Quote
Roland Butter Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I read Attention All Shipping a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. At least I know where "Finisterre" is now! Charlie Connelly also wrote a good book on football, London Fields, about ten years ago, but sadly that's out of print now. I look forward to your review. Quote
Louiseog Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 I look forward to your review. You see that is my phobia revealed! Too scared to write one! Frank Beddor Seeing Redd great ! Quote
Louiseog Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 Celia Brayfield, Getting Home. Really enjoying this one, sort of political chick lit! Quote
Louiseog Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 The Other Hand Chris Cleave, must have loved it, have almost reviewed it! Quote
Louiseog Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Christine Falls Benjamin Black, thriller set in 1950s Ireland OK People of the Book Geraldine Brooks Quote
Louiseog Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 People of the book was great, the story of the restoration of a Jewish haggadah and its history melded together, loved it. The Yorkshire Pudding Club Milly Johnson, three friends nearing 40 all fall pregnant. It ends happy! Quote
Louiseog Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 Baking Cakes in Kigali, Gaile Parkin absolutely great so far Quote
Louiseog Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 Death in the Stocks Georgette Heyer Quote
Louiseog Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Soul Collector Paul Johnston thrilling and scarey definitely read more The Girl in the Blue Dress? Quote
Lucybird Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 The Girl in the Blue dress is by a Midlands writer isn't it? She was on Midlands Today, wasn't sure if I thought it sounded like my type of book Quote
Louiseog Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 It's supposed to be about Dickens, quite Victorian but readable. Not that far in! Quote
Louiseog Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) And then gave up! Not in the mood. Then gave up on Inside the Whale Jenny Rooney ! Then Life on the Refrigerator Door, which has returned my reading mojo! The Household Guide to Dying Debra Adelaide on a theme Edited April 5, 2009 by Louiseog Quote
Louiseog Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Stopped the Household Guide to Dying or never started it, instead went for the 19th Wife which is fabulous! Quote
