this thread

I have a list of books i want to read, i will add that to it! Never seem to get round to reading at the moment

and apart from that

some WWII blitz books

just having a flick through..

can i just hijack this thread for a moment please..?

anyone got any good ideas for a book similar to stonewylde?

someone on here recommended it to me for my OH's birthday a couple of years back

so any help would be good-its her birthday in 2 weeks

ta

A rather riveting psychology study book....   my fave subject   Also in between study, I am reading a book by Nicci French.

Then I think you will like Room Sparkles, there's a psychological thread running thru it so you can call it study too.

i had a book for xmas called 'the small hand' a ghost story by susan hill-the one that wrote 'the woman in black'

not a massive read-but a good story-i enjoyed that

and not long back my ma-in-law left her book at our house

'lovely bones'

i read that straight through-NOT my sort of book

i just picked it up out of interest cos the film was out at the time , really good read

who's it by please..?

where can i find this? 

Oh I love ghost stories, I'll put that on my list....thanks.

I read Lovely Bones and didn't like it all.

Lots of Martina Cole books. She is brill.

I bought mine in Waterstones and it was published by Picador.

Oh pirate, the author is Emma Donoghue.

*slaps own wrist for leaving out most important bit*

googling now

thanks so much for recommending this book-just showed my OH the review and she wants it for her birthday

thanks again

i keep saying thanks cos she's so effing hard to buy for

Thanks Aquarius

Oh I also read Lovely bones and found it a bit average.... the film was better.

just bought 'room' off ebay

and lovely bones was great

no taste you lot

She will love it pirate!  Guaranteed.  Its the most unique book I've read ~ and I've read thousands.  Let me know if she likes it.

The Declaration by Gemma Malley, its a children's book but so very well written. have a few to pass on to my nephew now.

I'm reading a James Herbert bok that I found indoors that has somehow managed to evade me up till now...The Secret of Crickley Hall.

Finished The senator's Wife by Sue miller yesterday, good holiday book.

I need light stuff at the moment so am wading through my Maeve Binchy collection.

I love her stuff, it is like sitting down with an old friend and having a really good gossip

Aww Issy I love Maeve Binchy.  She's exactly how you describle.  Reading one of her books is like being in her house in front of a big roaring fire with her telling you the story.  I wish she would write a book a week!

She writes beautifully and I read it in an Irish accent ( if you see what I mean) and I am not Irish.

Issy we could find ourselves being sectioned but I do the accent bit too - and I'm Scottish.  Don't know what that says about us.

I am reading 9th Judgement by James Patterson......

I do tend to do that... if an author is good and writes in the accent I will read it in that accent... the James Herriot books I read in a yorkshire accent....

I need to get that....I've read most James patterson books buit I think I might be a couple behind now

readinf `Under The Dome` by Stephen King... having bother getting into it

It is quite a good one Croc..... and I enjoy the Women's Murder Club series (I think they are up to 10 now), but I still prefer his Alex Cross series. Having said that his Michael Bennet series (the New York cop) seems to be shaping up nicely...

I think I've only read up to 8 on the Womens Murder Club....

I do like Alex Cross but he was spoiled somewhat for me by that awful London Bridges book...the worst Patterson i've ever read.

I didn't like the one where he went to Africa....... far to graphic and too far out of the normal storylines for me.... I am trying to remember what London Bridges was about

London Bridges was a follow up to another one about some bloke called the Wolf or something....set in London...it was pretty rubbish!

Oh yes, I vaguely remember that one......  obviously I didn't think much of it either

One of my favourites of his was one called Honeymoon....that was excellent.

Was that an Alex Cross one Croc?? Or was it one he has written with someone else? I don't think I have read that one...

That were me, I doubt if you will equal it.  It was edge of the seat reading

Keep going with it Clumsycat, its worth it in the end.  I find a lot of Stephen King's books are like that with me, and it puts me off a bit, but my son raved about it so I kept going and it IS worth it.  Flippin' big book tho.

Its not an Alex cross one...it was one written with Howard Roughan

Oh, Ok... I will check it out..
