Part way through Fifty Shades Freed, but have to stop and read something else every few chapters.

Just read Peter James, Dead Simple, brilliant. Now reading Jeffrey Archer prison diaries part 3, Heaven.

Have more Peter James lined up and Harlen Coben. Loved Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People you meet in Heaven.

i agree i only read five people by chance and loved it so have started looking out for his books now, also read four one more day which was ace.

I've been away for ages, still been working my way through my books and trying to resist the temptation of buying more, hoping Santa brings me a kindle fire even if I'll still have so many books to read I'll not be able to add any books to it but the money I've saved not buying books will cover the cost.
At the minute I'm reading Time for bed by David Baddiel, I couldnt really get into it and promised myself I'd give it till 100 pages, and I'm continuing it till the end now, I'm finding it a bit hard going though more a book i'm perservering with than cant put down, it's taking me ages to read it, I find it difficult to disconnect Baddiel from his main character and I feel as its a book for lads, written by lads, it's not all bad though.

Wondering does buying books for other people count, they're not books I'd want to borrow back either

So long as you actually give the books away I'm pretty sure that just counts as a 'gift'.

Peter James is my favourite, i've read all of his. I've also read all Jeffrey Archers prison diaries which I really enjoyed. I read the first Fifty Shades which was an easy read but gave up part way in to the second one as I found the characters sooooo irritating!!! I've just started reading Jaws!!

Finished "The Devil in the White City", now on to "Confessions of a GP" for a bit of light reading. Can't believe I've managed to read 70 books already this year! Commuting really helps!

And I really want a Kindle Fire HD but mainly just for the tablet computer bit, not as an actual e-reader.

Finished 'Confessions of a GP' and now on to 'Forest of the Pygmies' by Isabel Allende. It's only a couple of hundred pages long and the OH is watching NFL tonight so I might finish it tonight!

I renewed my library books yesterday and my librarian told me that two have been requested by other people, so they have now zoomed to the top of the 'to read' list and I will hammering away with them. (I've been meandering through about five books at the minute, so this bit of extra structure is no bad thing.)
