Angel Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 Just starting Painting Mona Lisa by Jeanne Kalogridis - 564 pages Quote
Angel Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 I really enjoyed Painting Mona Lisa. It gave an intriguing possible background to how and why Leonardo Da Vinci painted her. The politics of the time were also interesting and as always with Kalogridis' books I realise how poor my Italian history is!! (In fact it's worse than poor - it's almost non existant ) Quote

Angel Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 May's doorstep was Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes. Really enjoyed it - a very real attempt to get into the mind of the main character and the events which led upto the shootings. Quote
Angel Posted July 12, 2007 Author Posted July 12, 2007 July's chunky challenge is A Conspiracy of Violence by Susanna Gregory. Set in the early years of the Restoration London. 500 pages Quote
Kell Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 July's chunky challenge is A Conspiracy of Violence by Susanna Gregory. Set in the early years of the Restoration London. 500 pages Ooh, I like the sound of this one! And I LOVE your new Mr Darcy avatar! Quote
Angel Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 This is yet another new author for me and so far I'm not disappointed. This book is set in the early years of the Restoration and demonstrates how former spys and prominant men switch their allegence to that of the King Charles II after the fall of Cromwell. It's a part of life that you don't really think about, and the characters are based on some real-life people. Mr Darcy is lovely .......swoon Quote
Angel Posted August 18, 2007 Author Posted August 18, 2007 August's challenge was James Herbert's The Secret of Crickley Hall. At over 600 pages it reacquainted me with James Herbert after a break of many years from him. I really quite enjoyed it although it only lasted a couple of days! Quote

Kell Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Ooh, is that the sequel to The Tea Rose? I read The Tea Rose earlier in the year (borrowed it off my Mam) and loved it! Have been thinking of getting hold of the sequel, so I'll be waiting to hear what you think of it. Hope you enjoy it. Quote
Angel Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 I didn't realise it was a sequel . So far it's a very good start Quote
Kell Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 If you're enjoying that one, you should definitely go back and read the first one - The Tea Rose. Apparently there's a third one due out next year (according to a comment on my blog), called The Wild Rose. Quote
Angel Posted October 20, 2007 Author Posted October 20, 2007 It's certainly a good book so far - I will order the first from the library! Quote
