I just couldn't follow the plot and I didn't find the pictures helpful! At least I discovered that graphic novels are probably not for me.Sewing 46/COLOR]Woollies 6Card s 17Reading 11/400 -
Second book of the year for me:
6.5/10. A collection of short stories that I didn't particularly enjoy although I'd heard great things about the author. By the 5th story I noted a common theme: the relationships the characters were in were lesbian. Nothing graphic, just depicted as the norm rather than heterosexual relationships - but this detail added nothing to the story plots! Oh well, got to kiss some frogs and all that...Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Finished my first book of the year - The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. I've had my eye on this series for a while and it didn't disappoint! I've got the next one on my shelf, but I'll probably go for something else first. I've sorted through my shelves and set aside a few books that I might read once and then get rid of, so I think I'll have a go at one of those.0

I finished book 3 this afternoon:
8/10. I like the writing style, very witty and low on detail so much is left to the imagination. I am convinced it was set in Thailand or possibly Malaysia, according to Wiki its Pakistan so its anyone's guess really Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Finished "The girl on the train " last night agree with you on this, enjoyed it though and it helped having the 3 main characters names on the page if you know what i mean, less confusing, Next 2 on the List ," No place to die" and "Never look back" Both by Clare Donoghue set in South London, look like good reads.:)both very good books. "I let you go" is the better of the two in my opinion0 -
Managed to get to the library at the end of last week and picked up a few books. I've finished the first one which was Angela Marson's Silent Scream.
It was quite an easy read and the characters were well developed although I must admit I'm a bit baffled by the thousands of 5 star reviews it's got online as I didn't think it was as well written as it might have been. If you like thrillers with twists then this is probably worth a read.Save

Hi there all
Would love to join you for 2017.
My aim is to read a book a week so 52 over the year.
I love reading but I find myself spending too much time on the Internet!!0 -
I'm not a fan of thrillers, but I listened to Vikas Swarup - The Seventh Test omnibus this afternoon and it's quite gripping. Great to listen to as I was doing some mindless paperwork.
Next episode next week I think, I'll post the linky when I find it (usually available for 30 days after broadcast).Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Good evening,
Would love to join in with this, I have been reading the same book for ages now, I just can't find time to sit down.
I'm reading 'We need to talk about Kevin', it's good, I'm enjoying it.
I will aim for a book a week throughout 2017. Will concentrate on finishing this one this week as a starting point.Emergency Savings #73 = £1,500/£2,000
