The Heart of the Family - Annie Groves (I'm reading the paper version as it isn't available on Kindle, the first 'proper' book I've read since getting my Kindle and I HATE it [the format it's in, not the story]).

I wanted to get that on Kindle (have one of her others on it)
Don't forget to click Amazon's Tell the Publisher! I’d like to read this book on Kindle ![]() )

I've just finished Before I go to sleep by SJ Watson which I thoroughly enjoyed. The way the tension was built was excellent I thought and i didn't predict the twist, although i knew there would be one! I did think however that the ending wasn't as good as the rest of the book. All of a sudden it was all over with little explanation and I just felt it was a bit rushed.
I'm now reading Look at Me by Jennifer Egan - too early to tell whether i like it or not! |

It does seem odd that all the other books are available apart from that one, I did click on tell the publisher though. Also I'm quoting myself rather than starting a thread to say that I found out today that Annie Groves died on NYE, so shocked. Does anyone know how she died? (And if her book due for release on the 2nd Feb will be released?
) must be bed time ,,,You can Pre-order - from Amazon My Sweet Valentine' for Kindle & pb Can also pre order pb online from Waterstones. And is due for release 2nd Feb 2012 .... |

The Maze Runner by James Dashner.
I'm only two chapters in but I like how it's jumped right into the story. Can't wait to read more. |

Just finished "The Boleyn Inheritance" by Philippa Gregory, a "new" author to me and the second book I've read by her. I enjoyed it.
Now reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett which was recently made into a film. Loving it |

Bossy Pants by Tina Fey. About 2/3rd the way through it's very hit and miss. Although I can't help hearing it in her voice when I read it :P

I bought the Slap and started it on the tube home. Already I'm enjoying it more than Cold Comfort Farm (which I feel almost sacrilegeous saying but it just wasn't for me)

I picked it up at an airport literally minutes before I was due to board a plane to New York. I have been a big Tina fan for a while and didn't know she had a book, so I paid the £20 (extortionate) fee and started reading it before we took off. I think others around me thought I was mentally ill because some of the chapters had be doubled up laughing, with tears streaming down my cheeks. Her "Growing Up & Loving It" chapter, and the description of her honeymoon are genious. I re-read it a lot and it never dulls the humour! |

To Miss With Love by Katherine Birbalsingh.
I'm about a third of the way through and not really enjoying it. Not because of the views on education but because I don't like the writing. It's as if it were leveled at the teenagers she used to teach (still teaches?) rather adults for whom there is a serious message. |

Reading 'I Am the Messenger' by Markus Zusak and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother finishing it. The Book Thief was great but I'm just not feeling this. Anyone read it?

Finished Contagious by Scott Sigler much faster than I anticipated because it was quite simply brilliant. The action and suspense were non-stop and I grew to really care about the characters. The book throws up some interesting "What if?" questions as well. I think fans of Justin Cronin's "The Passage" and Stephen King's stuff would enjoy this.
Going to read Cuckoo by Julia Crouch next. |

Just started The House of the Mosque by Kader Abdolah. Bought for 99p on a special Kindle deal.
Two of my favourite books are The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, so I'm hoping this will be just as good as it's had positive reviews. |
