I'll be interested to know what you think of the twist.

Ruth Dugdall - Nowhere Girl

Atlas Shrugged- Ayn Rand.

My god it's a terrible book.

Re. I Let You Go - I really liked it and thought the 2 twists were really good, especially the first one - didn't see that coming at all! I will put more detail in spoilers:



I having now started reading Moving by Jenny Éclair for my book group - more often than not I end up not particularly liking the books chosen to read!

I'm listening to The Versions of Us by Laura Barnett, read by Clare Corbett and Daniel Weyman.
It's one of those books that looks at how life would have been different if alternative paths had been chosen. We're in 1958 at Cambridge University at the moment. I hope that it doesn't become too repetitive.

I'm reading Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths. (Ruth Galloway #5). This is the one where everyone heads off to Blackpool. I'm not sure that it's a good idea to move the story out of Norfolk, but we shall see.

We have the same taste in books! The Versions of Us is next but one on my reading list and I have read all of the Ruth Galloway series - I will have to read them again some time as the author doesn't write them fast enough for me! I liked book 5 - it was an interesting change moving the story to Blackpool and I think it worked well. I think it was one of the best of the series.

Yes, I feel as if I'm stalking you sometimes! I have A God in Ruins to listen to as well, it's a few books down in the queue though.
I'm rationing the Ruth Galloway books so as not to get through them too quickly.

The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz

Tammy Cohen - First one missing

I read Child Of God by Cormac McCarthy. That's certainly an interesting read but I didn't reckon all that much to it in all honesty. Not much of a narrative there, just alot of unpleasant scenes.

Halfway through Carrie atm, loving it. The poor girl!

Started The Black Box by Michael Connelly - no. 18 in the Harry Bosch series - I don't think I've read any of the others (if I have they were years ago) but no.18, 19 & 20 were all on offer for 99p a few weeks ago on Kindle. I do like a good detective novel so if I like these 3 I might start the series form the beginning.

The People of the Abyss by Jack London. I'm fortunate to own and be reading a copy of the edition published by Thomas Nelson in 1915.

It's an interesting, harrowing if not damning tale. Whilst I don't doubt that it paints an accurate picture of London in the early 1900s, I do slightly wonder if the book is an American attempt at anti British propaganda.

Awakened: Vampire Awakenings, Book 1 By Brenda K Davis, Audio- Narrater Tavia Gilbert

Haven't been here since December .. so here's a quick snapshot of reads

Biography - Bobby Robson .. OK

Tales From the Dugout -Richard Gordon - Anecdotes from football managers . all of them scottish league so not as enjoyable as I had initially expected .. ok

Alan Sugar - Unscripted My Years on Telly - not as good as his biography and written in a more patronising way

Manager Mark - the nutcase from the Hotel - A different world view - always healthy and quite amsuing in parts

Babbitt - Sinclair Lewis - A tale of 1920s america and a take on the american Dream .. really enjoyed it

A life of contrasts - Diana Mosley autobiog - an insight into the colourful Mitford Sisters and her life with Sir Oswald Mosley and meeting Hitler etc. again interesting to see life from the other side of the divide.

Camilla Lackberg Hestrom/Falck series - Read 8th book in the series last year .. wasn't taken with it .. the first four came up on Amazon for 990 . took the plunge .. and have really enjoyed the settings and characters ..The ice Princess, The Preacher, The stone Cutter, The Stranger

No further action - Jim Davidson - How Jimbo got dragged into Operation Yewtree before being cleared of any wrongdoin. Its an honest account of a carrer at the edge of a precipice and a lengthy anxious wait for justice to be done.

39 Steps John Buchan- Nothing like the film and Tv adaption .. The boring bits in the film ar probably my favourite bits in the novel eg when he disguises himself as a road worker.

Parky - He's a lucky blighter! seems to have had a charmed life. wasn't familiar with his life in newspaers but always thought he was over-arted and too fawning as a chat show host

Graham Norton - The Life and Loves of a he devil - Very honest about his life .. okish

Journeyman - Ben Smith .. One of the best football memoirs for a while. Tells it as it is on the lower rungs of the pyramid via Hereford, Crawley, Shrewsbury Weymouth etc having failed to make the grade as a young arsenal apprentice. Very honest about his former managers and some of his co-players

Buried - Graham Masterton. The latest in the Katy Macguire series. The stories and characters in this series stand up by themself without, in my opinion, the gratiuitious violence. In this installment a guy gets his feet screwed to a bed - you get the picture.

Margaret Thatcher Vol 1 - Charles Moore. I wasn't a bifg fan of Charlie .. comes over a tad pompous in his Spectator columns . hunting eh what? etc. But thi sbiography is an excellent piece of work .. look forward to the second part even though I'n mot a fan of author or subject!

MIchael Palin - Diaries Vol 3 Travelling To Work - Again brilliant volume. Plain ranks along Chris Mullin and Tony Benn as the most engaging dairist of recent times.

Sorry for taking up space .. I'll try an update as and when i finish a book from now on!

Station Eleven - Emily St. John Mandel
I've just finished reading this, for my book group.
When a pandemic sweeps the world and civilisation, a New World begins with survivors struggling through guarded territories. The chapters switch between before and after, but to start with, I found it rather slow. Halfway, I was hooked. Not really a fan of dystopian, well written and atmospheric.
