    Just finished part 1 of A Dance with Dragons (book 5 of Game of Thrones series) but not sure whether to count that as one book or half a book as it was published in 2 parts? I'm going to save the second part for a bit as he took 6 years to write this one :eek:

    I've just finished reading a few more oddments on the Kindle, nothing particularly good so not worth mentioning but I did just finish The Divers Tale by Nick Lyon, it's a debut book, mainly factual but very very funny and am pretty sure anyone who knows the UK diving scene will find something in it they recognise.

    Just finished 'Before I Go to Sleep' by S J Watson. Really good. so rattled through that one.

    Currently reading The Tennis Party by Sophie Kinsella as Madeleine Wickham, chick-lit so easy reading.

    Not bought any books for ages, but today is my birthday so have been given the new Harlan Coben book 'Stay Close', so will start that one next.

    Is the 50 shades of grey book good? I keep hearing about it!

    I have recently read:
    - Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult
    - The Club by Mandasue Heller

    Now reading A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber

    r

    ive really enjoyed the story and like the main characters so got the follow on books to find out how things end up for them and if its a happy ending. BUT its very rude graphic and full of s&m some of it quite hardcore:eek:. so dont consider reading if you are easily offended. i hope ive managed to describe the book without spoiling the story

    Finished "The reapers are the angels" on Saturday. Not a bad read. More about the main character's journey than about zombies - its just that the azombies happen to be there.

    Reading 1.4 which is so far not as easy to get into as 0.4 but still very good
    No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.
    Target for 2018 = 7/21
