    Welcome Nikky! :wave:

    I'm still reading Dracula (very slowly!) and I've flicked quickly through Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi but I won't be reading the whole thing.

    Happy reading!

    Ohh I only recently finish Dracula on my kindle - it was very different to what I expected for some reason. Really enjoyed it though. :)

    finished Gone Girl, really glad the person i bought it for didnt want it as i really enjoyed it. Its not the type of book i normally read but once i got into it it was fast paced and built the characters well. They were the most twisted couple ive ever read about, but it drew you in and made you want to find out what was happening you couldnt guess where it was going as the plot was constantly changing direction.

    one id recommend

    I'm about half way through Adrian Mole. I think I've read it before but only remember bits of it. A nice easy read, especially for on the bus as each entry is only short and so I don't need to worry about missing my stop if I read the next one :)
