Hello:j I have to confess stitching is taking a back seat at the moment...maybe do some more next week. I try to read at least half an hour before bed which is why I read pretty slowly.

Aww Chicky - but hopefully the reading takes you to a better place for those few minutes at least

Ok so I have finished New Moon which I really liked, the next one is sat on my sholf ready to read. I have also finished Night Shift by Nora Roberts. I haven't read any of hers before. Its a nice light easy read which I got through pretty quick, so nice as a quick break between other things. It appears she writes some books in their own little series so I think I will try and buy another using the same characters.

Have I actually admitted to buying it yet.....can't remember but it was £2 from a local shop, another book which I liked the shinyness of the cover

Hmmmm so which to read next. Not quite sure but i think its between the next twilight one (Eclipse) or I'm watching you by Karen Rose. They are both pretty big so I might start the Karen Rose one at 660 pages....Eclipse is 628...

I am reading A Faint Cold Fear by Karin Slaughter at the moment. This is the fourth book of hers I have read and in quick succession I have read Blindsighted (which I enjoyed), Kisscut (didn't enjoy) and now a Faint Cold Fear which I am enjoying - 172 pages in at present and its getting good....

I am also very pleased to report that we had a book club deliver some books to the office yesterday and I have resisted the temptation to order the three Mo Hayder books (on offer for a fiver) and have reserved the first book from the library instead! I really do not need any more books. My bank balance cannot sustain the hit ! and I have books everywhere!

Well I finished A Faint Cold Fear a short time ago and have decided to read something else now. So been on the hunt in my own little bookshop :rotfl: and have narrowed the choices to You're Next by Gregg Hurwitz, Or She dies by Greg Hurwitz or Mo Hayder, Gone.

I am drawn to Gone but I haven't read any of the other Mo Hayder books and wonder whether they should be read in order ???
