Oh, for a book....

Currently reading 'Her Fearful Symmetry' by Audrey Niffenegger - (author of Time Travellers Wife) - so far so good, although its a bit slow in places. (Supposed to be a ghost story)

I read that, it does get better, although I wasn't enthralled by the ending. I found it easier to read than The Time Traveller's Wife, which was hard going at certain points.

Went off at a complete tangent! Son and DIL bought two books for Himself's birthday. One was Lynda La Plant 'Blind Fury'. Picked it up and I've nearly finished it, it's made quite a change. Gawd knows why they bought it for Himself, he only reads Sporting autobiographies. The other one is a John Grisham!

I have tried to get my OH to read something different than historical biographies or events - the closest I got was with Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and Dissolution by CJ Sansom, which are fiction based on fact.... I always try to stetch my literary knowledge.

I finished The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo this week. I struggled to begin with as it flicked between multiple stories and time periods but once it went to one time period it i really enjoyed it. It was really gripping and I shall be reading more of his book.

Has anyone read "Don't Let Me Go" by Catherine Ryan? Just wondered if it was any good, I haven't come across Catherine Ryan before.

I read Eat, Pray Love on holiday. Brilliant book

Thanks Fi. I've just had a look at Elizabeth Gilbert's website, I must admit I've not heard of her before either, worth a try.

It made me laugh out loud, at least it did once I got past the fairly depressing bits at the beginning

Currently reading some Susan Hill ghost stories...the Small Hand, pretty good so far.

I already re-read Turn of the Screw, which I love but found over time it's lost it's impact...perhaps its cos I have got older!

Did I tell you I bought "War Horse" Michael Morpurgo for my middle Golden Girl? Read it myself first. Brilliant children's book, worth a read. Didn't realise it was a play in the West End.
