    Just finished Wild by Cheryl Strayed - another book about someone walking long distances. This time the Pacific Coast Trail in the US.

    I need to get cracking if I want to finish reading 52 books this year.

  • Over the Easter weekend i have done a lot of reading, I'm now halfway thorough Cathy woodman's novel follow me home. And I'm really enjoying it. Going on holiday in a few weeks time so hopefully two more books will be read.

    Am halfway through a Kate Ellis book - one of the Wesley Peterson series. Really good - will be back to the library later in the week to borrow more by her - love finding a new (to me) author.

    Had to abandon hide her name I didn't get far into it when I realised it was about child abuse by catholic priests in the 50s it made very uncomfortable reading and wasn't not my idea of entertainment.

    While looking for another book I found one I'd started last year then misplaced (obviously back into the TBR shelf) it's now been restarted
    Carole Matthews a compromising position.

    I am struggling my way through The Man in the High Castle at the moment. I watched the TV show and thought it was great but this only barely resembles the show (or the other way around I suppose as the book was 1st) and I'm finding the way it is written v.hard going. Almost finished now tho
