Acts of Faith - Adam Faith - a rare read for me as it's in print format rather than on Kindle. Adam is one of my favourite singers and had a colourful and varied career so I am enjoying reading about it from his point of view (I read a biography earlier this year)

Yes, it was very good. Think I slightly preferred One Day.
I've said it before, sorry, but Starter for ten is his best IMo.

Just finished Who's that Girl by Mhairi mcfarlane, very chicklit but funny,good holiday read and did like the Game of thrones type tv show references

When you were older - Catherine Ryan Hyde - I read a couple of books by this author several years ago and really enjoyed them but forgot about her. I'm pleased to see that they are now available on Kindle and have bought a few of them. This story starts just after 9/11 when a man who by a twist of fate wasn't in work when the Twin Towers fell, has become a carer to his disabled brother. I haven't read much yet but it's a promising start.
If anyone is interested in this author I highly recommend Love in the Present Tense, which is probably in my top 10 of books I have ever read. Actually I want to read it again now I am thinking about it!

Funnily enough, if I were putting it in order I'd put Starter for ten as my favourite.

Am now reading Caro Fraser - The Pupil

Just started The Teacher by Katerina Diamond - it has very mixed reviews so it could go either way for me!

Nothing To Envy
Real Lives In North Korea - Barbara Demick
Investigative journalism, here, following five different individuals and their families, during the nineties, as they grew up with the oppressive regime, famine, despair, treachery and,finally freedom in South Korea, through dangerous conditions.
This was a choice from my Reading Challenge, and it was very hard to believe how living in a country like that, compared to our way of life in the West.

I'm reading The Woman Who Walked Into the Sea (Sea Detective no 2.) by Mark Douglas-Home. It's been mentioned on here a couple of times lately which reminded me that it's been sitting on my Kindle for ages.

I'm listening to I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, narrated by Jenny Agutter. An excellent opening line, "I write this sitting at the kitchen sink", and very entertaining so far.
