This is back when Martina Cole was good.

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.

It's the only book of hers I've read but after enjoying this so much I'll give her others a try

I'm off on holiday on Friday, and just ordered way to many books after reading this thread!

Dan Simmons 'flashback'.

Oh dear.

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.

Camilla Lackberg = The Ice princess

Showbusiness - Mark Radcliffe

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.

It's got me gripped. Did they make a film of Red Dragon too?


I thought the best ones were Dangerous Lady, The Ladykiller, Goodnight Lady and The Runaway. I don't read Martina Cole anymore though as her later books became very samey and boring.


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

Read the earlier ones first.

Jessie Keane- Scarlet Woman

Peter James..Not Dead Yet.

Didn't really rush to read this after Dead Man's Grip which I really didn't enjoy, but this one has me gripped...yay!

they made 2 - the better one is called manhunter, though another man stars as Lecter

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 Winter of the World by Ken Follett. Excellent so far.

Ricki Thomas- Unlikely Killer

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.

Reading 'Zero Day' by David Baldacci

A bargain download for my kindle and it's ok if a bit silly

Just finished a Dance with Dragons

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.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Listened to that on the radio recently and thinking about buying it. It does not sound easy tho. Your opinion would be appreciated.

More money!!

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!

Still reading this book...finding it hard going. He does go on and on sometimes. I have not had much time to read either this month which hasnt helped. I am 70% through, so hopefully one last push will get me through it.

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.
