N0S4A2 by Joe Hill. Love it.
Horns and Heart Shaped Box are great too. Currently reading Ken Folletts - World Without End, just like Pillars of The Earth it is literary crack.

The Soul of Discretion by Susan Hill. Audiobook version read by Steven Pacey.
The latest Simon Serrailler story. Simon is away from Lafferton on an undercover operation. Meanwhile Richard's behaviour is giving cause for concern and Cat has financial worries. |

Have read the whole Mo Hayder Jack Caffrey series (and discovered it was at different times and books were released at different periods). Wow
not that it took away from my initial enjoyment at the time, but got to admit to feeling there was disjointment of the storyline of the main protagonist.However, there should be no problem now with a start to end on the series. However, my own preference in terms of readability is the first of the series....Birdman. And then the second one. As for the others, you can give them a miss right up to Poppet and Wolf. |

Just finishing 'Caught' by Harlan Coben. Really enjoyed it, although not quite as good as 'Stay Close' (which I finished last week).
For some reason I haven't got into Harlan Coben before, but now I'm hooked. Really loving all the dry, sarcastic banter among the characters. |

I am reading 'The Food of Love Cooking School' by Nicky Pellegrino.
I love all the descriptions of Italy in her books. |

I'm listening to Cider With Rosie, written and read by Laurie Lee.
I'm reading Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth. The main character is Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de la Force. She is a historical figure, a French novelist and poet. She's famous for writing the fairy tale Persinette which was adapted by the brothers Grimm as Rapunzel. At the start of this novel, in 1697, King Louis XIV has banned Charlotte from Court after she wrote some satirical Christmas verses and she is suspected of having an affair with the Dauphin. She's to be paid a small pension on the condition that she enters a nunnery. Charlotte is not exactly cut out for convent life. |

I've just finished Stolen Child by Laura Elliot, it was a gripping read, and I'm going to see what else she's written. It's one of those books that stays with you long after you've finished reading.

Beyond The Horizon - Richard Parks
Used to watch this dude on the TV with me granddad before he did his shoulder in and could no longer play. This story of his recovery and what he has done since is an inspiration. I love real stories like this about real - it inspires me. A great read so far |

Working my way through the Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer.
Never wanted to enjoy his books but they're actually a good read!

I'm just on the 3rd Elizabeth George book in the Lynley series - Well-Schooled in murder. I'm loving the series! I find them so well written, and such a welcome change from more recent crime novels. There's so much to read now, it's really refreshing to read something where the author writes eloquently, such a pleasure to read!

I've started a new audiobook, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, narrated by Jack Hawkins.
A pre and post apocalyptic novel which starts when actor Arthur Leader suffers a massive heart attack on stage whilst playing King Lear. On the same day Georgia Flu arrives in America and within three weeks most of the population are dead. Twenty years later a group of musicians and actors are touring small settlements in an area near Lake Michigan performing Shakespeare plays and putting on musical entertainments. |

I've just finished reading the six volumes of The Lymond Chronicles by Dorothy Dunett. One after the other. Couldn't put them down. Even though at times reading them was like being pierced through the heart by swords while simultaneously being dipped in acid.
I just can't stop thinking about them. I'm really suffering from book bereavement at the moment. No idea what to try next. |
