Six Seconds - Rick Mofina

Picked it up when a freebie on Kindle - not bad for nothing

Rise and Fall of the British Empire.

I just finished The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon last week. I absolutely loved it, but the ending really confused the hell out of me...

Just started Prophecy by SJ Parris.

It's ok so far. Can you get a copy from your local library?

The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh - really loving it. It's making me want to find all about the meanings of flowers!

Its only open when I'm at work,its only a little one,they've been trying to close it for a while,think its only open one morning now.
I also like to wait to buy them though,because I tend to hoarde books,drives the hubby mad,he keeps trying to get me to car boot them all

Reading The Book of Human Skin by Michelle Lovric.

75 pages in and I'm not as gripped as I feel I should be.

I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne.

A genuinley funny Rock autobiography (and I've read a fair few!)

Dark Matter: A Ghost Story by Michelle Paver

A really really superior ghost story, beautifully written and genuinely creepy.

Lorna Doone - Richard Doddridge Blackmore

You cant car boot your books!
I keep all mine

Linwood Barclay- Too Close to Home

Finished Decline and Fall - Second volume of Chris Mullin's Diaries. Best political diarist from the Labour party since Tony Benn

After the Swedish Millennium trilogy and the adventures of Norwegian detective Harry Hole .. I strayed further up Northern Europe and tried Arnaldur Indriðason's Icelandic cop Erlendur. The first installment "Jar City" is excellent .. a plausible plot neatly executed. Will return to Reykjiavik soon (if the unpronouncable volcano doesn't erupt again !)

The Stockholm Syndicate - Colin Forbes

I have 9 libraries in my area, and 2 of them are just up the road from me. I hope they keep yours open.

Stuart has got another new book coming out in January, but it's not a Logan McRae book.

No orchids for Miss Blandish by James Hadley Chase

That's in my to be read pile - I visit Reykjavik fairly often so I'm intrigued to see it in fiction

Penny Vincenzi's new one 'The Decision'

Sometimes a girl needs a bit of chick-lit!

Finally finished reading Stephen King's IT.

Took me a while but well worth it. Now what to read next...

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ~ John le Carré (before I go to see the film )

William Wilberforce ~ William Hague ( I might not agree with his politics, but Mr Hague is a very good writer. And William Wilberforce was a very fine man whom I would have loved to have met ... and befriended even).

The Dwelling of the Light: Praying With Icons of Christ ~ + Rowan Williams

Beowulf

The Selected Poems of William Blake

That's all for now.

Magnificent Desolation http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Magn.../9781408804162 which is Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin's account of being the second man on the Moon and his life thereafter. It's a surprisingly good read but he did have the help of a professional writer as well (Ken Abraham).

Just finished The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Start reading Stephen King's On Writing. My friend just finished reading and lent the book to me.

About 60% of the way through The Spear by James Herbert. I have just bought several of his back catalogue on the Kindle. Next up Catch-22, then the new Jack Reacher

Finished The Book Of Human Skin. It took a while to get used to the different characters narrating the story, but once I settled into it, I was hooked. Michelle Lovric is a skillful and enchanting writer - her vivid descriptions truly transport me to 18th century Venice and Peru. My favourite character was the feisty but good-hearted painter Cecilia Cornaro, although I think she was underused.

Next, The Radleys by Matt Haig
