Louiseog Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 Loved the Book of Lost Things, alternated between scaring the pants off me and laughing out loud. Then Pauline McLynn Just in Time, funny and easy detective story (she was the housekeeper in Father Ted) Now started Michael Chabon the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (99p in Smiths) Quote
Louiseog Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 Gor another Pauline McLynn from the charity shop Something for the Weekend, wich I did like. Still ploughing through Kavalier and Cray am enjoying it but it is very fat!! Quote
Louiseog Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Finished Kavalier and Cray and loved the whole tone and storyline. A bit like John Irving for me. Quote

Me and Mr Darcy Alexander Potter good clean take on P and P. fun and easy. Starting Steph Penney The Tenderness of Wolves, got me hooked Quote
Polka Dot Rock Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Starting Steph Penney The Tenderness of Wolves, got me hooked I thought this book was superb - really wonderfully written. I hope you continue to enjoy it! Quote
Louiseog Posted June 13, 2007 Author Posted June 13, 2007 I stopped for a bit and read Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley (becaue I couldn't be bothered to go upstairs and get Wolves! ) Am now carrying on still good Quote
Louiseog Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 Could not get past the first third of ToW, not in the right mood, will try again. Read Sarah Dunant Birth Marks which was a detective story well told. John Francome can't remember the title because oh gave it to me to read ! Quote
Louiseog Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Now onto Queen of Subtleties by S Dunn Quote
Louiseog Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 Stopped reading that for some reason. Maisie Dobbs Jaqueline Winspear, loved this detective/historical novel, set in 1929, echoes of first world war and beginnings of psychiatry, Great story too. Val McDermid Grave Tattoo, enjoyed this much better than her other recents ones which were scarey. Starting to mark exams and so less time to read and very tired!! Quote
Louiseog Posted July 1, 2007 Author Posted July 1, 2007 Fogive Me Amanda Eyre Ward, to review for Harper Colins. Great story will read more by her. Quote
Louiseog Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 Getting behind with this: A Crime in the Neighbourhood - the effects of the murder of a young boy on American suburbia, tightly plotted and from the point of view of a young girl. Quite intriguing. MC Beaton Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage love this series, easy and light and well characterised Maeve Binchy Whitethorn Woods - lovely set of stories linking into a shrine in some woods, vintage Binchy. Quote
happyanddandy Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Maeve Binchy Whitethorn Woods - lovely set of stories linking into a shrine in some woods, vintage Binchy. Louise - I thought this book was dire!! Quote
Louiseog Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 Louise - I thought this book was dire!! Can see why was just what I needed on a rainy cold filled day! Quote
Louiseog Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 Martin Edwards The Coffin Trail, I liked this one, about a community in the Lakes and an old murder case, well written and characterised. Quote
Louiseog Posted July 4, 2007 Author Posted July 4, 2007 Simon Brett A Comedian Dies, I like Simon Brett and this is a new series to me, it was a bit dated though. Kate Harrison Brown Owl's Guide to Life, looking forward to this. Quote
Janet Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Simon Brett A Comedian Dies, I like Simon Brett and this is a new series to me, it was a bit dated though. I've read a few Simon Bretts! I've read the Mrs Pargeter series (years ago now - they are also dated) and a few of his new 'Featherington' mysteries - Murder at the Museum, Body on the Beach, that series. Quote
