Bloodline - Mark Billingham (25%) - like catching up with an old friend, haven't read a Thorne book for a while.
Fifty Shades of Grey - EL James (55%) - why am I still reading this?! |

Micro by Michael Crichton, so sad he's no longer with us, enjoyed just about everything he's written.

"The Waiting Room" by F G Cottam, superb ghost story!
I can also recommend "The Dark Echo" by Cottam. |

New Boy by William Sutcliffe
Very funny and with added relevance as it reminds me of the kind of school I went to! |

Had a bit of a lull lately, started Keeper of the Light by Diane Chamberlain but really struggled with it, just couldn't get into it despite loving the previous 6 books I read by the same author.
So I gave up and tried Summer's Child instead (same author) and really enjoying this one. It's about a new born baby who is found abandoned on a beach and as an adult wants to track down her birth mother and find out why she left her to die within minutes of being born. She is a really great character, she has some mild brain damage due to the circumstances of her birth so has quite a simplistic view of life, but she's also pretty savvy and I really can't wait to find out 'who's the mummy' and why. |

Currently reading The Golden Fool - Book 2 of the Tawny Man trilogy by Robin Hobb. Will be taking a break from that tomorrow to start the next in the series of the All Souls trilogy - which seems like i've been waiting forever for! |

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.
Absolutely gripping, but takes a lot of careful reading to ensure nothing is missed. Have just received The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and the Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham which I can't wait to start on. |

Just finished Mockingjay - A bit dissapointed, I felt I had invested a lot of time as The Hunger Games and Catching fire were so good. A poor and disatisfying conclusion

Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada: A fictional book, based on a true story, describing the life in Germany under the Third Reich.
Fallada introduces the reader to a world where fear and terror rule and the dread of being snitched upon is on everyone’s mind. |

Finished Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Engaging and thoughtful read .. true classic .. Its a shame the tale has been exploited to such an extent by the film industry over the years.
and FACT 1: Frankenstein ISN'T the monster ! FACT 2: There's no reference at all to a bolt in the neck!

Just started The Lost Daughter by Diane Chamberlain.
Thi is the third of her books I have read, but it is being spoilt by the text being so tiny I can barely read it ![]() On holiday I read Glasshopper by Isabel Ashdown which was also a good read but not as good as I was expecting and These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf - I enjoyed it but I am reading too many books with similar plots right now but this did have a very good twist at the end which I hadn't guessed.

I'm currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickins, not sure whether it is a typical choice of book for a 16 year old but there you have it
Looking forward to reading Jane Eyre for my English AS next year at school ![]() Before that I read the Hunger Games, I though the first and last ones were the best, I felt the second one let the side down somwhat but thats just my opinion

I don't get what all the hype with 50 Shades Of Grey is, thugs and chavs in my school year are actually asking people if they can borrow it even though they would never usually touch a book, its absolutly pathetic, just because its basically porn in paper form. :sleep:
