I've nearly finished Man at the Helm by Nina Stibbe (Love Nina) which is delightful, and am also reading Nella Last's War, the Mass Obs diary of Nella Last, (she was played Victoria Wood in Housewife49)
Horror novel with a Cold War background as a young British boy missing in East Germany for a few days turns up safe but not at all well (he has a mutated form of bubonic plague).
Due to boredom I'm putting She Bop aside for a few weeks and will now start reading Tracey Thorns second book Naked at the Albert Hall - something she sadly never really did but only in her wildest weirdest dreams. :cool::o

It's not Tracey Thorn from Everything but the Girl is it?
I've just finished reading The Girl on the Train after watching the film at the cinema a couple of weeks back. After being disappointed with the film people were quick to heap adoration on the book however that was as bad if not worse than the film. Gone Girl remains the best mystery thriller of recent times yet even that one is let down by the poor ending.
Victoria A Life - A N Wilson
Having marveled at the TV series Of Victoria, I wanted to read a biography of hers, to know more about her. I knew, some things about her, but ploughing through 700 pages was worth it. There were some political passages, that were quite beyond me, and her numerous children and grandchildren marrying into other dynasties, I couldn't keep up with, but I did so enjoy this biography, learning more about her, and her reign, which was so different then, as to what it is now.
Now, onto some lighter reading, methinks11
