Oh I read another series by her, Farseer trilogy? Really enjoyed it. Was some ten years ago now though. Never did get round to reading Liveship trilogy so might give it a go soon.

Thinking of doing that trilogy next!

The author's Rain Wild Chronicles lead on after the Liveship series too.
Good morning by the way!

I was going to mention that but thought I'd better not in case you decided on those before the Liveship series!
And good morning to you too!
Just started reading The Version of Us by Laura Barnett. It's like the film Sliding Doors but the book version.
Taken at the Flood by Agatha Christie
One of the Poirot stories I haven't read, I'm on a mission to read all of them!

I'm about to start reading The House at Sea's End by Elly Griffiths. It's the third book in the Ruth Galloway series. More skeletons for Ruth and DCI Nelson to investigate.”

Thanks for that recommendation Sue. I might see if my library has that one. My audiobook wish list is very short at the moment so I'm desperate for recommendations. I've only got 2 of the Elly Griffiths ones left to go - I've listened to all the others now.
I'm currently listening to 'The Girl in the Red Coat' by Kate Hamer. It's a novel about a young girl who is abducted and taken to America by a religious nut type who believes she is some sort of Chosen One. We follow her story, and the story of her mother who is left behind searching for her and trying to move on. It's kept me interested all the way through - I guess I'd give it 3 or 4 stars (out of five).
In print, I'm reading 'Roman Bath Discovered' by Barry Cunliffe - an interesting and well-written non-fiction book about the discovery and excavation of all the Roman remains at bath. A really good read, even for me (who doesn't know much about archaeology and doesn't read much serious non-fiction).
I'm halfway through The Child Who by Simon Lelic, about the impact on the family of the lawyer defending a 12 year old who is accused of murder, it's pretty good.
I have been away on holiday and read The Accident by CL Taylor, One Day by David Nicholls, Sight Unseen by Robert Goddard, The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough and A Man called Ove by Fredrik Backman (reviews in the 215 in 2015 thread!)

I picked up "I Am Pilgrim" by Terry Hayes this morning from the library. I'm only six chapters in but it's brilliant.

City of the Lost - Kelley Armstrong. I quite enjoyed these but not really sure why it's split into 6 parts.
I'm now reading What Happens in Cornwall by T A Williams. About to go on holiday so I'm trying to save most of my to be read collection for then.....it's not really working though!

I'm currently reading the 3rd book in the Alec Ramsay series by Conrad Jones called "Criminally Insane"...these books are very, very good, if a little gory etc.

That's a great read.
Bit late but I just finished The Girl On The Train. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as Gone Girl like I'd been told. Still looking for a book I liked as much as Gillian Flynn's three.

One of the staff in my local Waterstones recommended it, as usual they were spot on.

I replied to a tweet from a soap star on Twitter who was raving about it and she said it was well worth reading.
I'm twelve chapters in already and she was right. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next.I tried to reserve a copy in my local Waterstones but they didn't have it. The lady who replied to my email said that it was a wonderful book too. I borrowed it from my local library the following day.

Oh dear, I've just had to buy another book...
I've read two books this week, both faster than usual but for different reasons.
No Safe House by Linwood Barclay; fantastic book that I just couldn't put down.
Saint Odd by Dean Koontz; I love the series, but this final book left me disappointed. I found I was just skimming pages, there wasn't not much going on until the end. And then the end just didn't feel right.

I read Just One Look by Harlan Coben recently on holiday. I couldn't put it down either.
