[Louiseog]

Forgot PJ Tracy Snowblind, which is the most recent in a very good thriller/detective series.

[Louiseog]

Have leapt into Celia Ahern A Place called here. Thank you Paula/Gyre its fabulous, really different and thought provoking and I thought it would be chick lit!

[Louiseog]

Finished APCH here is what I said elsewhere:

I really enjoyed this book! Thought it had shades of Jasper Fforde and Kate Atkinson and made me feel happy and sad at the same time, going to be on my top ten this year!

Finished this last night and did enjoy it, managed to tell a lot about this period while making you feel at home with the characters and sympathy for them.

 

Now Triptych by Karin Slaughter (have transferred my Amazon wishlist onto the library reservations catalogue can you tell!)

[Louiseog]

I really enjoyed Triptych, engaging characters and not part of her usual series. Am struggling to move to a new book!

Assassani by Thomas Gifford is going to the charity shop unless someone can convince me otherwise

David Roberts, Buried Bones was the library one. Sort of Agatha Christie era, detectivey, about the Spanish Civil War. OK

 

Then took em swimming and read Simon Brett 'The Stabbing in the Stables' which was the next in a great series called the Fethering mysteries, easy, light but a great story!

 

Off to try Jonathan Franzen The Twenty-Seventh City. Not sure yet.

[Louiseog]

Gave up on 27th City.

 

The Peacock Emporium Jojo Moyles, great!

Then read 1966 and all that by Craig Brown, made me laugh, history of Britain from 1900 to 2000.

Its about the Australian war brides and their journey to England to be reunited with their husbands, it's based on actual events.

[Louiseog]

Even more tempting, off to have a look on risi!

Really enjoyed Blood Eagle, a good old fashioned gory thriller. By the same author as Brother Grimm and the first in the series I think. Preferred it to BG actually

 

Read Saturday by Ian McEwan today and loved it may even be inspired to write a review.

[Louiseog]

Finished Skin Gods, fantastic loved this one!

Am starting Nicholas Sparks The Notebook.

 

Finished it now (it was very short) but left me cold, someone I know raved about it really said it was great and it touched no emotion in me at all! no I tell a lie, they cooked some crabs and I felt hungry!
