One of my all time favourites. Still trying to plod through Wolf Hall (been reading it since last November, but I won't give up)

Found a Mo Hayder that I haven't read "The Treatment" and really enjoying it.

I'd encourage you to keep going with Wolf Hall, it's worth it.

Thrifty Pixie and Blind Toast, i agree with you both i love Mitch Alborn Books, after 5 people i read tuesday with morrie and for one more day, and loved them all, they are a similar type of story, ie coming to terms with the loss of a loved one and making sense of death but he writes in such a lovely easily readable style. I hear he has another book out at the end of this year - the first phonecall from heaven. cant wait.

friends of mine on goodreads will know i fell of the wagon in spectacular style over the weekend and added 8 more books to my TBR shelf
OPPS, must read faster!!

done:
#30 The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom 5/5

yep, i gave it a five! i thought it a really sweet book that i'll probably re-read so i'm keeping it.

now picked up Anita by Keith Roberts

I think I've found the name for my kindle (spare) - Tempus Pretiosum Utiler Consumtum...Latin for precious time well spent (I saw it on a coffee house in Manchester).

My normal kindle is Vita Sine Libris Mors Est - life without books is death (a slightly extreme view!)

I've given up reading LOTR for a while its taking too much concentration (as much as I love it!)

I finished cupcakes at Carringtons last week and start father unknown (Lesley Pearse) on the train yesterday morning - it's had me in tears a few times already and I'm only on page 50!
