Have just finished 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes which was good, not my usual sort of book but I did enjoy it. Only disappointment was it didn't make me cry like it did for most of those whose reviews I have read!

I am now onto 'The Bermondsey Grail' by Mary Cade which I downloaded for free from Amazon.

Nearly half way through Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. A really good page turner, I'm not quite as gripped as I was by Gone Girl (same author) but still hooked.

One soldier's war in Chechnya - Arkady Babchenko.

Unbelievably Brutal, Horrifying, Shocking. Found it a hard book to put down.

The Miracle Inspector, by Helen Smith. Only started it this morning, but am enjoying it so far. It's a dystopian novel, which is probably my favourite genre of fiction.

Finished Karin Fossum's When the Devil Holds the Candle. Great storytelling when you get used to the multi narrator technique.

Finished Man Bites Talking Dog. Colin Dunne's memories of 40+ yrs in journalism. Great anecdotes, colourful characters and the golden age of journalism. Much travelled journo via Yorkshire Post, northern echo, daily mirror and Kelvin Mckenzie's Sun to Mail on Sunday YOU magazine ..humorous honest warts and all tales of a feature writer. Great read but ironially needs a good sub to tighten up the manuscript

Finished Half a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and loved it. It's quality writing but very readable, and is centred on the Nigerian-Biafra War of 1967-70. The half-sun is the Biafran emblem. There are strong characters whose lives you really care about, as well as an honest depiction of the war later on in the book. It describes how the characters are affected by it, and is unflinching without being gratuitous. I highly recommend it
