The first "grown up" book I ever read was The Legend of The Seventh Virgin by Victoria Holt. I have her whole collection now in old paperbacks and re-read them quite a lot.
She did write as Jean Plaidy as well but for some reason I never tried any of those. Love the Victoria Holt ones though. Meantime, as I plough through the stuff I've already downloaded, I've started reading Raven Black by Ann Cleeve! |

Alone in Berlin - Hans Fallada.
An extremely well written book - enjoying it at the moment. (not sure if enjoying is the right word to use here. It's brilliant.) |

Reading - Life Of Pi at the moment. It took some getting into as I thought the start was very slow, but now I can't put it down! Got it for a bargain 20p for the Kindle!
Think I will try and watch the film now to see how closely it follows the book.

I used to pinch my Mum's Jean Plaidy books and really enjoyed them!
Also Victoria Holt's Historical suspenses - I think it's the same author under a different pen name? You've made me feel like rereading a couple of Jean Plaidy's at some point - I remember them being real page turners ![]() |

I've just started it today. Thanks for mentioning that it took some getting into - I know to stick with it even if the first part isn't great.

The Unconsoled is a very strange book. At the time it really baffled me and left me very underwhelmed but its one of those books that seemed to resonate more long after I finished reading it.
I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts. |

Finished "after the fall". Was really good, but "Before the fall" might have been a better title as that was most of it
![]() Still on "Close to the Bone" stuart mcbride on the kindle and my print book is "The Creeper" Tania Carver. Not sure I'm going to like this one. I do like a good serial killer thriller but they have to be well written and involving early. Jury's still out. |

Just finished The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. A family mystery saga told over 4 time periods. Long at 645 pages but excellent reading. Kept me riveted till the end.

Just finished 'Small Island' by Andrea Levy. It is well written, but I found it rather depressing reading about the horrors of racism during the war. There were a few light moments. I am glad that I read it, for towards the end, it was rather an uplifting finish.
