One of my reading pleasures is sitting in a big comfy chair in front of the fire on a cold winter's night reading Sherlock Holmes (with a glass of single malt).

Pigs can Fly - Barry Cryer

just finished china mieville's "the scar"

been a fan of sci-fi/fantasy books for a long time and it does fascinate me where these guys get some of their ideas from in the first place for books set in these fictional worlds

wasn't as much of a connection from the first book in the series as i expected from a story perspective but probably enjoyed it alot more than i did the first book

I have just finished reading the Wayward Pines trilogy.

Tales from The Secret Footballer by The Secret Footballer

Follow up to I Am The Secret Footballer

Stories of an anonymous journeyman pro footballer (although his probable identity is quite well known)

Kipling done, oh best beloved.

About to start Hemingway - men without women as Dorothy Parker raved about it.

I wouldn't mind reading that.

Just about to start Lovecraft Unbound, a selection of Short Stories in homage to HP Lovecraft.

Tribune of Rome - Vespasian I by Robert Fabbri

First book in the Vespasian series

I won the whole set last month in a Facebook competition. First time I've ever won anything!

The First Rule - Robert Crais

Lynda la plante - Twisted

Am reading 'The Mist in the Mirror' by Susan Hill. I love a good olde-worldy ghost story once the nights draw in! Really liked 'The Woman in Black' by her years ago as well.

David Baldacci. The Memory Man.

Love, love loved that book!

Dancing at the shame prom. A collection of short stories.

I'm going to have to try this


Currently reading The Big Four (Poirot) - Agatha Christie and a book of Ghost Stories (in time for Halloween). Just starting The Monkey's Paw by W.W Jacobs

Two superbly written books if you like court room dramas:

A Game of Proof
A Fatal Verdict

By Tim Vicary (also a third one is to be releleased in the series)

You won't be disappointed.

Friday on My Mind - Nicci French

Try M R James too for creepiness.

Oh yes! Another writer for those long winter nights. But you won't get much sleep after reading his stories

I don't know if you've ever been to one of these evenings but they are very atmospheric,

Turning Angel - Greg Iles
Second in the Penn Cage series
Lawyer turned writer in Natchez Mississippi, tries to help a lifelong friend accused of raping and murdering a high school student. There's gang warfare and drugs involved. I enjoyed it but there were quite harrowing parts towards the end.

Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah - the second in the Culver Valley series. A man goes missing and the police don't take his mistress seriously about it so she tells a shocking story to convince them to look for him. 25% in and I am really enjoying it. I particularly like the relationships between the detectives.

Looks good, pity they are so far from where I am.

Mothers and Daughters - Evan Hunter

Currently reading The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. Its lengthy
