Righty-ho, now I've got Rivers of London in my ears - there's a great thread or three on here with recommendations, so many thanks to those contributors.

I've just started on Elizabeth George's Just One Act of Evil (Inspector Lynley). Trouble is, it's nearly 700 pages and the tiniest print you've ever seen! I can only read about 50 pages before my eyes fall out, so it's going to take a while.

Just read Val McDermid's Cross and Burn (Tony Hill series). That's another corker.

Recently 'inherited' (gifted by friend really!) the complete works
of John Grisham,who I have never read for some reason.Am working
through them and am currently on 'The Chamber' which I think is the
fifth one? Anyway,finding them good stuff,interesting and gripping for
the most part,with loads of legal expertise thrown in.Still twenty odd
to go so I may be some time!

Currently Shattered by Kevin Hearne.

April Lady - Georgette Heyer
Not the kind of book I am used to reading this was so light, that it took me a while to acclimatise myself to her prose.
This was really entertaining and I'm glad I stuck with it. I'd like to read more of her books
but how do you decide what to read next, new books or old?

Bill Bryson's Lost continent..very funny

The Two Of Us: My Life With John Thaw --- Sheila Hancock

Katherine Webb - A half forgotten song

The Courage Tree - Diane Chamberlain

I love browsing for books in charity and second hand shops. This morning I found this for £1.69: (paperback).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sea-Our-.../dp/1840241055

A couple spent ten months raising money for charity by walking all round the British coastline.

Looking at the price on Amazon I got a bargain

EDIT: I have started to read this book. On their journey they mention the places they pass (or stay at), so I am simultaneously watching the places on youtube to get a feel of the walk - at the end I'll feel like I've travelled the route with them

Carnival Of Shadows. The new novel by R J Ellory

Helen Fielding - Mad about the boy

Two new books.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss has been on my Kindle for ages and recent posts have inspired me to make a start on it.

The Gallows Curse by Karen Maitland. Audiobook version read by David Thorpe. It's set in the reign of King John and England is under Interdict, nobody can be baptised, married or buried in consecrated ground. A servant girl is unwittingly dragged into a scheme to absolve the sins of the recently deceased Lord of the Manor.

I loved Company of LIars but wasn't so keen on The Owl Killers. This one is shaping up very nicely.

Truth or Dare, Tania Carver Great read x

Just finished reading The Bourbon Kid trilogy - loved it.
Anyone else read these books. Very different to the usual vampire books.

Gave up on Helen Fielding- Bridget Jones Mad about the boy. Should have left it where it is- the past. Kept having to remind myself that Bridget was 50 and still acting the same that she was years ago!!

Have now started Roberta Kray- Bad Girl

Just started Good as Dead by Mark Billingham. I got it on an Amazon deal for 99p but have just realised it's book 10 which is annoying me as I'm a bit OCD about reading things in the right order!

Just about to start reading 'The Reading Group', by Elizabeth Noble.

Divergent - Veronica Roth
Not a bad read, different to what I'm used to, found the premise interesting, didn't like the heroine all that much. Not sure whether I'll read the follow up.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Burglar by Maurice Leblanc.

French contemporary of Sherlock Holmes.

Really enjoying it so far, all the more so for it being a freebie.

Finished When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro. Really enjoyed it. I was a bit worried towards the end when he started on his unreliable narrator aspect. I though here we go, echos of The Unconsoled but it brought it back to the plot with and ending that not only made sense but tidied up all the loose ends.

Now onto the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft. Not relishing the prospect but I said I would so I am.

Luke Delaney - Cold Killing

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Americanah

The Children of Men by P D James
