The Crucifix Killer by Chris Carter.

The book is an American thriller based on the murders of a serial killer. I love the insight the author gives to the different police units in Los Angeles and how it teases with the reader into who the killer may be. A great read so far.

Has anyone read this book? Don't tell me what happens

Fallada introduces the reader to a world where fear and terror rule and the dread of being snitched upon is on everyone’s mind.

I absolutely loved this book! I couldn't put it down - I thought it was so interesting to read something about the resistance to the Nazi regime in Germany - you don't really hear too much about that. When I was studying that period in history I don't remember any mention of German resistance and I think it's important!

Also - I love Frankenstein too! So much symbolism and layers to unravel. I found it fascinating and have read it multiple times now. I agree, it's a shame that the story has become so distorted.

I've just finished Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks - really interesting although I couldn't read big chunks of it in one go.

Just started The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch.

Been toying with reading it for years and decided to just go for it now!

Last night I started Torn by Jacqueline Druga, came across it on Amazon and thought it looked good.

It's an end of the world story, only read about 10% but really good so far.

I'm reading Do No Harm by Carol Topolski. It's very unusual, exploring the murky extremes of human psychology.

it might have been me - it's excellent isn't it? So informative too, so much history I knew very little about.

I,m onto Maybe this Time, jennifer Crusie (light chick lit with a bit of a ghost story) and Joseph Connolly The Whisperers ( much darker gothic horror type)

But it's getting people reading! Perhaps these people will go onto read more quality literature?

Currently reading a book of essays by Sloane Crosley - "I Was Told There's Be Cake'. It's really quite funny.

Joyce Carol Oates- A Fair Maiden

[Aarghawasp!]

I just finished Mockingjay, I agree the first book was best but I enjoyed the 3 of them. Not sure what to read next, I have a few lined up on Kindle.

[Buntym]

Finished book 2 of the Rainwild Chronicles and having read it so quickly want to save reading book 3 for while.

Downloaded Les Miserables to my Kindle. However finding it very hard going, cannot get into at all. Maybe it's just me as all the reviews I've read are glowing! Is it worth continuing? Might give it one more try tonight, it's certainly helping me fall asleep.... Feeling a bit disappointed in myself that I cannot get into this so called classic novel!

Alternatively might just give into temptation and download A Song of Ice & Fire so I can continue my re-read of that series on the Kindle.

[Aarghawasp!]

I reckon it's Serial Uncut by Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch next.

Not seen the film. Going to watch after I've read the book. The book is huge, around 1400 pages!!
