Thanks for posting - you've reminded me to check if the audio version is in my library yet, and they do have it now. I've reserved it, so I'm looking forward to enjoying that in the next couple of weeks.
I've just finished 'Say it with Poison', the first in the Mitchell and Markby series by Ann Granger. Nice straightforward crime drama - nothing fancy or innovative, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Just finished The Target by David Baldacci. Its the third book in the Will Robie series and its easily the worst of the three. The first two were very good, so this book had a lot to live up to, and it doesnt quite manage it. This isnt a bad book, though - its a good read. However if you have read the first two books in the series, you may well be slightly disappointed by this book.
Just finished Alex by Adam J Nicolai (a free kindle download) - very thought provoking, and highly recommended if you like the paranormal/ghost stories/the unexplained.
About to start The Skin Collectore by Jeffrey Deaver- I like Lincoln Rhyme books so am looking forward to it.
OH got that from amazon on his ereader on his phone on my recommnedation but isn't enjoying it. Is there any way he can transfer it to my kindle , does anyone know?

If you are both using the same amazon account on your Kindles then it's relatively easy, you just go onto the kindle store and select it for download from your purchase history. However if you are using your own amazon accounts then it may be impossible although I do remember reading something about them introducing a loan function but it's not something I'd use.
Game of Thrones. I haven't read any fantasy in over a decade so not sure whether I'll take to it or not. The chapters are very short though so it should be easy enough to get through, bit by bit. By TV standards I'm only on about episode 3 of season 1!
I'm currently about 1/3 way through The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's the first in a trilogy with the last slightly worryingly yet to be completed.
I can't remember how this book got on my Kindle, I started reading it quite aimlessly really as I wasn't getting in to the book I had been reading.
Really pleased I did, what a great story about a great story!
Superbly written and different in a way I can't quite put my finger on from the norm in these fantasy fiction type books..
Moondust by Andrew Smith in which he details his travels across America in search of the nine surviving US astronauts who set foot upon the Moon between 1969 and 1972.
Last of the Summer Wine: The Inside Story of the World's Longest-Running Comedy Programme by Andrew Vine
Don't know why I purchased it .. 99p on Kindle probably. Never watched the programme until the last couple of episodes. But this book is a little gem. Excellently written and researched by a journalist .. so here we get an honest behind-the-scenes look at how Roy Clarke approached the writing of the series, the friction between actors, the true feelings of the locals of Holmfirth towards the filming and the bus loads of fans. Brilliant. This is a solid template for all showbiz type books.

I read that a few years ago. It was quite heavy going but I absolutely loved it, it was very insightful and really makes you appreciate the amazing achievements of those men.
I am reading Where there's Smoke by Jodi Picoult, a short story so should have it finished tonight!
I've just started the audiobook version of The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes. It's very short, which will be a good thing after having ploughed through The Luminaries.

I was looking forward to her newest offering but I'm finding it a bit hard to get into.

It's rather good, although heavy going in places.
