I've just finished My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday by Jason Ayres, it's currently a free kindle download, and it's really good, a cross between The Butterfly Effect and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Claus Madsen's The Jewel on the Mountaintop. It might sound like a novel but it's actually a 500+ page comprehensive history of the European Southern Observatory in Chile's Andes mountains (big telescopes and all that).

The New Woman - Charity Norman
I have read a few books by this author before and they were really good. This is very original in that I have never read a book on this subject before - I will put it in spoilers just in case but the Amazon reviews all say that it is about
Spoiler

After the Crash by Michel Bussi.
An airliner crashes and the only survivor is a baby. Two families, one rich and one poor both claim her. I'm really enjoying this, lots of twists and turns and nothing is ever what it seems. |

I'm listening to The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. Harris, narrated by Allan Corduner. It's a retelling of Norse mythology by Loki, the trickster god and ultimate unreliable narrator. It's quite a departure from Chocolat!

Currently reading all of Jussi Adler-Olsen's
'Depatment Q' series, and loving them! Just read his 'Alphabet House' before these too, and the guy is an impressive thriller writer! |

I've been reading books 2, 3 and 4 of Ben Cheetham's series of thrillers which are set in Sheffield. Quite good for the price I paid on Kindle.
Now reading Altar of Eden by James Rollins. Only 5% in but it's not grabbing me so far. I will keep going and see if it picks up. |

Just finished the collected works of Dorothy Parker. A bit dated but worth a gander. It may not have made me laugh out loud but often brought a wry smile to my face.
Now onto a retread of Kippling before I read it to the latest godchild. Want to have all the voices down pat. |

I'm reading….Eloise by Judy Finnegan - it's pretty terrible but yet I keep reading in hope, whoever mentioned there were echoes of Daphne du Maurier in the blurb should be severely reprimanded

The Woodcutter- Reginald Hill
Enjoyable tale about betrayal and revenge. Witty and lots of humour thrown in. |

Read my first Conan Doyle. A Sign of Four. I can see why the Sherlock Holmes series have had a lasting impact. Brilliantly written
I still re-read them. Currently on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes as I like how the short stories are easily accessible. I've just finished reading Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which was fab, and gave me a laugh through some bad times - which was much needed. Now I'm reading Gullivers Travels by Jonathon Swift, finding it a bit hard going tbh. |
