Hi Baz and erin  

 

I couldn't put it down after the first page  

I get bored reading a book and I wander prefer mags.

I'm also a crime/thriller person. I bought Mrs Jer Caitlin Moran's book. She and subsequently all of her pals enjoyed it.

Well that's one page further than I'd get Velvet

Yay, hope you enjoy it sooz! Look up Millie Johnson, I love her books! "here come the girls" was my fav

I did a link to that one Summer because I know how much we all enjoyed it but I am not sure that Sooz has clicked on it yet.

Thank you everyone - I'm gonna have a look at all your suggestions bar one 

for some reason im reading OH's MC beaton Agatha Raisin stories, theyre good, ive read 12 so far

 

totally loved this book

I'm currently reading The Dirty Parts of the Bible by Sam Torode and no it's not a roody book

some real laugh out loud moments 

it better be - I've just downloaded it on you two's recommendation

all I can say is that it came highly recommended to me and I loved it - brought back memories of the 70s and 80s - lovely gentle story with some good laughs 

Thank you all - I've downloaded Here Come the Girls and then I did a bit of searching and Have also downloaded A Place Called Freedom - Ken Follett and Only Time will Tell - Jeffrey Archer. Also seen a Penelope Lively one I fancy - I'm only going for a week though  I love my Kindle but .........there's nothing like a proper book really - I want to see the cover and feel the pages.

Sorry Soozy, but every time I read this thread title it makes me laugh. Especially when I imagine Julian Clary saying it. It has a euphemistic-y/innuendo-y feel to it...

 

 

just me then... 

   not now.   It's the word 'load' isn't it?  

 

hello btw 

It sooooo IS the word 'load' Kaffy!   Hello to you too  x

bumped for Supes  

Hi all .................I did read 'Here Come the Girls' on me hols - a nice, light hearted way to unwind on first couple of days. I then read Jeffrey Archer - Only Time Will Tell - a really good read and part of a trilogy - I'll certainly be reading the other two. I'm currently reading 'A Place Called Freedom' - Ken Follett - that's really good too. I like to learn 'bits' of history as I read - I was overall happy with my choice of holiday reads.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

 

I dont know if this Facebook page is of any help to you kindle/facebook users

I'm reading Wolf Hall on kindle at the moment. Its about Thomas Cromwell and the court of Henry VIII. Gripping so far.

 

Its not really history but a right rollicking read is Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier.

I quite like the sound of that. I'm sure I read Jamaica Inn years ago. Wasn't there a TV dramatisation starring Tom Bell many moons ago?

 

Cheers for the kindle/fb link - I may give that a go. I do love browsing book shops - I don't do it so much since I got the Kindle. Also - I can never remember the name of the book I'm reading as I no longer have the cover to remind me - I do miss a good book cover.

I didn't see the TV version but Tom Bell would have been brilliant casting.

Amazon is great for a potter around Soozy. The ratings/ reviews are helpful and theres the "peek inside" option where you can read excerpts to see if its your type of book.

 

I agree with you there's nothing like an actual physical book though ...

Thanks for the bump Mrs H. Think I might give When God was a Rabbit a try, I had been looking at that on kindle store, but wasn't sure. Just started The Snow Child which is looking v promising.

personally I loved it - it was written about the era I grew up in so many things made sense to me

Soozy, I think the Jamaica Inn series you are thinking of may be this one:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089363/

which had Jane Seymour, Patrick McGoohan and Trevor Eve in.

 

oooo I'm very proud of myself - my OU course work book comes as a pdf file on the OU site and I managed to download it to my kindle so I have the paper version at home which is about three bricks thick and now my kindle version which I can carry with me bonus 

Impressed  What is your avi pic? it looks like a pair of manky ears to me ..............my eyesight aint too good TBH.

manky ears!!!!!  They are a lovely pair of dormice snoozing with their tails hooked over their heads and their little feet tucked under their chins 

 

Now that you've asked I have to share my favourite Youtube of a dormous snoring 

 

Yaaaay!!!!! great choice Sooz I'm pleased you enjoyed "here come the girls"
