I'm loving it, I can't put it down. It's a real eye opener and such a sad book really
Susan Dalston is such a tragic character that you can't help but really root for |

Currently enjoying reading 'Downtime' by Tamara Allen on my Kindle. A good story and extremely good value at only 77p!

Damn this thread! Every time I come here I end up buying another book! Did like the look of this one so I can't really moan, although my bank balance is moaning plenty.

Just finished Johan Theorin's The Darkest Room, very good recommend it for all lovers of Nordic noir. Has a bit of a supernatural slant too.
Now reading Sam Eastland's Eyes of the Red Tsar, not sure about the fractious storylines yet, but it's interesting. |

Just finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (had it on my Kindle for a while and finally got round to reading it. Enjoyed the book immensely - although it did make me cry on the plane on the way home from Istanbul
)Now reading 600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster. Good so far. Have also enjoyed The Expats by Chris Pavone recently. |

I thought this was a fantastic book,I read it when I was about 14,and have since read the rest of the Lecter series,which,in my opinion,are far better than the films(although silence of the lambs was a very good film,I think they should've left it at that for the films,as the books are far superior!)

Just finished "When the Devil Drives by Christopher Brookmyre". It was really good. I really like all of his books. They are always a little bit different and full of twists and turns.

Just started Crucible by S. G. MacLean. I can't get into it but the handful of Amazon reviews are all positive, so I will stick with it.

22:11:63 by Stephen King. Liking it a lot, really- King's never been afraid of saying how much he loves Ray Bradbury, and this is TOTALLY a story starting from a Bradburyesque premise but extended into an epic. TBH, I felt like some more actual scary horror shit from him, and this didn't seem so appealing, so I put off reading it for a while, but I'm over halfway through and he's really got his mojo back.

The Last Letter From Your Lover (also by Jojo Moyes) is another weepy harry. I loved it almost as much as Me Before You.

I'm still reading Wolf Hall - and whilst I'm enjoying it, I'm not getting through it as fast as other books. I find the writing style sometimes a little confusing - Cromwell is always referred to as 'he' but sometimes in certain contexts it becomes difficult to work out who is being spoken about, whether its Cromwell, Wolsey or whoever else is in that excerpt.
It's fascinating reading about this history from Cromwell's side though and I guess that's the reason why I'm not reading it as fast - there's a lot to take in! It's made me remember how much I enjoy reading about this incredibly confrontational period in history and now I want to read more! |

They are worth a read,every dead thing is quite hard going,it kind of takes you all round the houses and all the storytelling is a bit much,but its worth it in the end,and the rest are easier to get in to,I think maybe John Connolly realised he didn't need to write quite so much to get Charlie Parker's story across in the latter books
![]() ![]() There were a couple of points, where I gave up and wasnt going to continue, but I dont like reading half a book. So continued with it. |
