I have started Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith. My son got the hardback version for Christmas and I was going to read it first (he hasn't read the rest of the series) but I couldn't cope with the small text size so I have relented and paid £9.99 to download it onto my Kindle - you watch it will be half price within a week!

Just finished And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

Just finished reading Egil's Saga - it's a ripper of a story. Written by Anon but believed to be Snorri Sturluson.

Christmas at Thrush Green by Miss Read. Delightful 😊😊

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. One of my sons Christmas presents, I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down until I had finished.

Just started The Crossing by Michael Connolly and I'm hooked already, looks like I won't be doing much after Christmas tidying until I'm finished.

The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith, I'd like to stay at home and read it all day, but got too much else to do

i've got that on my wish list - would you recommend it Moonlily?

Welcome to My World by Miranda Dickinson

Yes, I'm enjoying it very much so far- have you read The Cuckoo's Calling? It sort of recaps from there and then sets off a a good pace. I also have Career of Evil, they were Christmas presents

I'm 76% through Career of Evil now, started it on Christmas day and I can barely put it down. Absolutely gripped!

awh thanks!! I haven't read anything by Robert Galbraith but have got the three mentioned all on my wishlist of what to try next!!! Looking ahead to after i have worked my way through my christmas books

Slow down then or if you're like me you'll be cross when you finish it Good to have some decent reads though!

I have a to be read pile of about 30 books but somehow these found themselves on the top

Funny how that happens isn't it?

I know! I wonder how far through writing book no 4 she is.......

Watching War Films with My Dad by Al Murray

Al Murrays memoir of growing up on the 70s, with a fair bit of WW2 history and movie trivia thrown in

Storm Front by Jim Butcher. I went through my TBR list and there wasn't anything jumping out at me so I thought I would re-read the Dresden files until I felt like picking up one of my new books.

'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary' [parts 1 and 2] - M. R. James.

Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee.

My first book of the new year, and one of my Christmas presents. This book takes me right back to my schooldays.

Happy New Year reading to one and all.

Enemy Of The State by former leader of the EDL Tommy Robinson.

Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Book 4 of the Dresden Files.

Did you enjoy it? I enjoy her books but, this was heavy going. It took me ages to read it, I am usually very quick but, this did not grab me.

I am reading Big Time, the Life of Adam Faith by David & Caroline Stafford - it's a book that doesn't seem to be liked by Adam's very devoted fans. I think it's okay but the author's are unnecessarily rude about him in places, but there is a lot of detail about his early career which I wasn't aware of and there are some nice photos.
