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.

It may well just have been that my expectations were too high but I couldn't finish it in the end.
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.
i picked up a generic binatone e-reader brand new for £5 quid, so i've loaded it up with some stuff and i've started on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I bought that too so I'd be interested to know how you find it.
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.

Me too. The 99p deals are very tempting.

Aren't they? I've bought loads and the cost soon mounts up!
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 know what you mean. 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.

I liked that too. Now finishing Daughters in Law, Joanna trollope( half price a tthe train station last week) and starting DistantHours, Kate morton
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.
