Just finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, absolutely loved it!! Don't be fooled by the pretty pink cover it is not just your average chick lit!
Now reading When God was a Rabbit heard some really good things about it and enjoying it so far.

I read this a while ago, I enjoyed it although it obviously isn't as good as The Book Thief which was amazing.
Reading Mr Chartwell by Rebecca Hunt now. I'm not liking it much but I don't want to give up on two books in a row. |

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.

The Midnight Girls - Lulu Taylor
Only started it this morning, but I do love a good girly bonkbuster for some indulgence and escapism, especially when the weather is as miserable as it is at the moment. |

Am currently reading Down Among The Dead Men by Michelle Williams and despite the gory subject matter I am quite fascinated by the whole dead body thing.

Not the highest of literacy calibre, but I've just finished reading 'Catching Fire' (the 2nd in the Hunger Games trilogy) and literally just ordered the third book

The Girl with the dragon tattoo.
Someone told me they couldn't put it down. From reading half of the book i can only assume they super glued it to their hands. |

Finished reading Cuckoo by Julia Crouch which ticked some boxes but not others. It was dark and menacing and I couldn't tear myself away. But the main character became too deeply flawed and too many things were left to the reader's imagination. I just didn't feel entirely satisfied when I put the book down.
Undecided what to read next. |

I only stuck with it (hah!) because my friends recommended it and in the end I enjoyed it very much. It does get very bogged down with names and journalistic detail though. I'm coming to the end of "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and have smiled, cried, laughed and been utterly absorbed. Adapting this to the screen must have been so easy (relatively) - it's all there, no convulated plots or long, meandering prose to wade through. I love it - one of my favourite books so far. |

Just read Not Before Bed by Craig Hallam (horror), and just finished Thirteen Dates by I M Stuttz (which is truly fantastic if you're into online dating).

Reading two books...
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins. I think I'm the only person who is so far not that impressed, I don't think it's too well written and there's just too many details. Only half way through though so maybe I'll enjoy the rest. The Other Hand - Chris Cleave. Can barely put this book down! Incredible so far. |
