frankie Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 The Four Matthew Shardlake Books (Dissolution, Dark Fire, Sovereign, Revelation) - C J Sansom I've got myself these as well, let's hope they're as good as they sound and as fabulous as everybody keeps telling they are! Happy reading SueK! Edit: Oooop sorry, I was too eager to post that I didn't realise you might have wanted to reserve a couple of posts yourself before people are allowed to post! If this post is in your way please don't hesitate to ask a Mod to delete it! Sorry

Ben Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I haven't read any of them! Good luck with your reading in 2010.
chesilbeach Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 The Lucifer Box set of books (3) - Mark Gatiss I loved these books! I didn't really know much about Mark Gatiss when I read the first book, but I thought they were familiar yet unusual stories, and I devoured the other two as soon as they were published, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did The Chronicles of Fairacre - Miss Read Over Christmas, I hunted down all my Miss Read books from the various rooms with bookshelves in our house, as I realised I haven't read them since I was a teenager, and thought I might have a re-read to see if I still like them as much as I did then. I also realised there are a lot I still haven't got, so if I do like them, I'll be going on a buying spree, as they're all being reissued in new editions at the moment!

I have quite a few on the shelf and Chronicles of Fairacre has been there for quite a while (I picked it up for
