Piper Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I love to see people discussing books on TV so am enjoying the new TV Book Club show but it does mean my TBR pile from the library is growing! Really enjoyed Blacklands though and looking forward to the others. I love getting recommendations that I maybe wouldn't have picked up otherwise.

welshchick30 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I purchased Blacklands today...is it easy to read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 I purchased Blacklands today...is it easy to read? Yes I read it in a couple of days. I did find some parts a bit difficult and I wanted to get through them quickly (dealing with the child murders) but I will definitely read any future books by the author.

Piper Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well after doing so well for the last couple of years just using the library and not buying many new books I have rewarded myself with lots of new purchases recently I am just in a phase where I need to be in bookshops to stroke all the books, then buy the books so TBR pile has grown again. Sigh... I also need to get reading more as I am seriously behind target of 60 books for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
