Angel Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 Now reading Mary Higgins Clark - Two Little Girls in Blue Quote
Child.of.God.1989 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 It's the first time I've read one of her books - Mum says they're good! So far I'm loving it Hello! My mom (and her generous mom, always with a book for Christmas and birthday presents) is the reason for my bookworm tendencies, too! It must feel good for your mom to have someone to talk to at this time. The best book my mom has shown me, besides the Bible, is... um... I can't really remember one outstanding one, besides the Nancy Drew series when I was small. You have a reading list that's fun to check up on! Quote
Angel Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 C.o. G. - I've inherited my love of books from my Grandmother (as a child I always went with her to Hastings Library) and my mother whose bookshelves are groaning! I'm glad to say that my daughter, Tiger has also inherited that gene. It's now got to the stage where we're fighting for shelf room. Indeed if I do manage to sneak in a book, she invariably catches me out and adds it to her tally that I owe her As for my reading list I like a wide variety from historical fiction, the classics, chick lit, horror, crime............. and I could go on, LOL!! Just started Jean Plaidy - The Sixth Wife Quote
Angel Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 Really enjoyed The Sixth Wife. Moved onto Jeanne Kalogridis - The Burning Times Quote
Angel Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Now reading The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly Quote
Louiseog Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Have read Gathering Light by her, enjoyed it Quote
Roland Butter Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I read A Gathering Light last year - possibly the best book I read all year Quote
Louiseog Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Have you read Secret Life of Bees or the Birth House ? Quote
Angel Posted October 20, 2007 Author Posted October 20, 2007 I'm afraid I haven't yet Louise - are they good? Quote
Kell Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 If you fancy The Secret Life of Bees, Inver has this one on offer in a Book Ring. I've finished (and enjoyed) it, and am just waiting for the next person to sign up so I can pass it on... If you're interested, make a post in the thread HERE and then PM me with your address, and I'll post it to you next weekend. Quote
Angel Posted October 20, 2007 Author Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks Kell, I'll give it a week or so as I am very busy this week as the kids are on half term and I need to reduce mount TBR a little whilst I am off work for 9 days Quote
Louiseog Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I'm afraid I haven't yet Louise - are they good? I loved Gathering Light and found these in a similar vein (not a theme) but enhanced them. You would love The Birth House I think (all about the history of midwifery at the turn of the century) Quote
Angel Posted October 22, 2007 Author Posted October 22, 2007 As a trained midwife myself I probably would enjoy it. I'll order from the library I think Quote
Angel Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Finally finished The Winter Rose - a very good read. Moved onto Wendy Holden - Azur Like It Quote
Angel Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 Jodi Picoult - Second Glance. This book is different from all the other Picoult books that I have read - this is about ghosts haunting a village after a developer builds on an ancient burial ground. So far it's got off to a very good start Quote
Angel Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Finished Second Glance, I really enjoyed this one. Now over half way through Juan Gomez- Jurado God's Spy Quote
Angel Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Finished God's Spy. I very good read. Quote
Angel Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Decided to start Michael Jecks - Dispensation of Death Quote
Michelle Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Jodi Picoult - Second Glance. This book is different from all the other Picoult books that I have read - this is about ghosts haunting a village after a developer builds on an ancient burial ground. So far it's got off to a very good start Did it continue to feel different to her usual books? I might give it a go if so. Quote
Louiseog Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Decided to start Michael Jecks - Dispensation of Death Medieval ? Quote
Angel Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Did it continue to feel different to her usual books? I might give it a go if so. Yes it did Michelle - I quite enjoyed it, I'd recommend it Quote
Angel Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Medieval ? It is set in 1325. Have you tried Michael Jecks yet Louise? They are murder / mystery and anyone who likes the Cadfael series will enjoy these books. Quote
Louiseog Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 It is set in 1325. Have you tried Michael Jecks yet Louise? They are murder / mystery and anyone who likes the Cadfael series will enjoy these books. I have, The Outlaws of Jennor, it was good, more wild and bleak than Cadfael I thought. Quote
Angel Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 Moved onto Jean Plaidy - The Road to Compiegne Quote
