Went to the dentist today and they have a charity box with proceeds to mouth cancer and I found The Snowman by Jo Nesbo. Have been looking for this one for ages. They asked for 50p, but I paid £2 cos I was so pleased to find it !

See, I can't even go to the dentist without buying a book ! :rotfl:

I read the Snowman just a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was brilliant, one of the best crime books I've read in ages. I really like Jo Nesbo's writing - Redeemer was great too. I've put his other books on my library reservation list, but the wait time is quite long as there are lots of others in the queue to read his books - a good sign methinks!
Hope you enjoy it!

Finished Hunted - Alex Duval last night.

Not too sure what to start next, though i got a parcel from Amazon this morning.....Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare (it's a prequel to the Mortal Instruments series....which i'm not finished!!) But it is like a bloody text book! I'm not joking it's massive and fat and it looks like a uni text book....but for £3 i couldn't say no.

i hadnt put this one on my list when i bought it so it doesnt actually count off my totals but a good read anyway. finished
1 4 sorrow by George Taylor yesterday, nearly made me late for work as i couldnt put it down, its quite a masculine read, main character is a deputy head at a high school, the story is quite gritty with volience and swearing in but its apt for the plot.

took the white queen by philippa gregory back to the drs waiting room bookshelf yesterday, really enjoyed that and need to read the red queen now but havent got it and am being good so will probally have to visit the library soon

reading the pilots wife by anita shreve now,

Just finished Sister by Rosamund Lupton - it was ok, I felt it didnt live up to the hype/blurb on the cover so :T:T:T

Started The Postmistress by Sarah Blake, story set in WW2.

Morning all. I haven't bought any books since I posted a couple of weeks ago Although I'm planning on going vegan for Lent so may need a couple before then. I think I'm going to go for a bespoke 'no more fiction' books until I've read them all. One good thing, a save the children charity shop has just opened locally so at least I now have somewhere close by to take my used books to
