Crossed by Ally Condie - 2nd in a series.

Enjoying it, it reminds me a lot of the hunger games in some respects.

As the last book in the Raymond E Feist's 'Riftwar Saga' is due to be released next month I've just gone back to the start to re-read, finished The Magician last night and have just started Silverthorn

Finished Nathaniel Hawrthorne's "Scarlet Letter" .. an insight into the 17th Century whitch-hunts in New England. The plight of Hester Prynne who is branded with the the letter "A" for committing adultery. We see the puritan community's attititude towards her and her daughter as well as the impact on her partner and her husband.

That's on my "to read" list - I loved Everything But The Girl.
Did you read Ben Watt's book Patient?
It's brilliant

Emergency Wife Lost and Found - Carol Marinelli
M&B medical romance, of which I dip into, occasionally, and as a Kindle freebie
this was quite a good story.
In hospital A&E, a Casualty consultant is stunned when his ex wife is wheeled in
after a bad car smash.

Black Swan Rising by Lee Carroll. I wanted to give up after 20 pages but I'm kind of hooked now. It's very odd and a little silly but I'm enjoying it.

Just read Sanctus and The Key both by Simon Toyne.

Now just over half way through A Foreign Country by Charles Cumming. Not bad but a bit spy v spy with no real classic bad guy. Not my usual thing and they came as a two book pack in W H Smith so I have another to possibly read.

Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King. About two-thirds of the way through '1922' - getting freaked out by the rats.
