  • I have a few to read at the moment and am trying to resist any more! I have Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, which I am almost putting off because I am so looking forward to it if that makes sense.

    Also have some of the Star Wars books I got super cheap on my kindle.
  • Haven't been on for a little while, but I'm making good progress on my Goodreads challenge this year. Finished the David Gibbins and am currently on the 3rd Harry Potter, which I've never read before.

    The Complete Lewis Carroll is coming along nicely, about 50% of the way through, which is good considering I'm only reading that one at night.

    I'm finished with my rough guide to iPods, ITunes & music online, it wad like reading an old manual, not the most exciting or interesting, a bit out dated but a lot was still relevant too. It's now in my donate to charity bag.

    Someone recommended Liane Moriarty on here (sorry, I can't remember who it was:o). She's new to me.

    I've just been to the mobile library and the only book by her that they had was Big Little Lies so I've borrowed that one.

    Will make a start on it tonight:j

    It was me! Hope you're enjoying it?


    I've not been on here for a while but have been reading - we were on holiday over the festive season so I've read 12 so far, a mix of Kindle and paperback. Was gifted lots of lovely books from my list for Christmas so my shelf is well and truly replenished.


    One of the books I received was Big Little Lies - I'm reading Katherine Webb's The Night Falling at the moment but will probably move onto BLL after that as I am itching to read it. Also received What Alice Forgot for my bday last week :)

    Read a really old copy of the old man and the sea last week, I quite enjoyed it. Am now on another Michael morpurgo an elephant in the garden, once I've finished it can go to school.

    I'm now reading The golden years 1970, I don't think it'll take long to read & to be honest its another I'll be glad to clearout.

    I finished reading The golden years 1970, it was bite sized chunks of history, that's now been passed on. I've also put an old book, Paula, Michael & Bob, everything you know is wrong, by Gerry Agar in the charity bag as I'm ok to let that go, I don't fancy re reading it or keeping it, I'm now reading Wild Boy,by Andy Taylor, think you can tel I was an 80's teenager by my book collection.
  • Finished The Night Falling on my commute this morning - it was enjoyable enough, an easy read with a twist at the end, but a bit disappointing compared to her other books which I have devoured and eagerly awaiting the next publication.

    I have the Liane Moriarty with me to start on my commute home and can't wait to get reading! I go on hols again next week so will try to sinish this before then. Planning to take just one paperback with me (possibly Shopaholic) and get through several Kindle freebies hopefully, as I'm trying to pack light.
