Now reading ‘The Light Years’ by Elizabeth-Jane Howard. It’s the first in the Cazalet family chronicles so I may get hooked.

I really enjoyed these, it's definitely worth sticking with them as they're such a good series. The newest paperback editions have such lovely covers too

I was reading The Service of Clouds by Susan Hill but I finally gave up reading it, when I realised that I was reading newspapers every day instead of getting on with reading this book. It was just not my cup of tea

I just finished a thriller called Somebody Else by Reggie Nadelson which I really enjoyed. I had a very late night of reading until the early hours, as I really wanted to find out who was the murderer. This book was a 9.5/10 for me

I finished reading The Booby Trap & Other Bits and Bobs by various authors and it was edited by Dawn O’Porter. It is a humourous look at why well known creative people mostly female but some male feel about women's breasts. It is a book to raise funds for the 3 Breast Cancer charities. It was published a few years ago, but I bought my copy recently in a Poundland shop. A lighthearted book for 3 very worthy causes. I would give this book 9/10 as it made me laugh out loud a lot

Someone mentioned Elly Griffiths' books a while ago. Just read The Chalk Pit in the plane on the way over to the UsA.

Good, gripping stuff. Dr. Ruth Galloway is an archaeologist who gets drawn into an unlikely number of police investigations, but I have read three now and they are good page turners.

I think that was me as I really like her books and I love the characters. There hasn't been a bad book in the series.:)

I am well into a new Jeffrey Deaver - Burial Hour.

Very unusually, Rhyme and co go to Naples.

Loved that book! Mind, I have read every Jeffrey Deaver book and have been rarely disappointed.

Finished ‘the Light Years’ and reserved ‘Marking Time’ at the library. Hope I don’t have to wait too long as I’m still engaged with the characters. I agree about the covers so pretty.

Just finished ‘This House is Haunted’ by John Boyne :eek:. He wrote ‘The Boy in Striped Pyjamas’. It was the first ghost story I’ve read in years and actually I loved it. Set in 1867 and in London and Norfolk I really liked the main character Eliza and wanted to keep turning the pages. I’d give this 9/10. Also finished “The Spring House” by Alison May on my Kindle app. I love Alison May’s books about the seasons- it’s her suggestions from The Winter House that I’ve just completed. I think I’ll wait until later in the year to read the titles I couldn’t easily get hold of.

I'm going to be waiting in for some workmen today, hopefully! I am charging my kindle as I speak.

I have about 19 books lined up on my kindle as I got a lot of free ones with Amazon Prime.

Today I should read:

Life Beyond Fibromyalgia - Elaine Merryfield, then

Strange Magic - Syd Moore.

I think the first one is quite short and I read quickly.

I might sit in the garden as it looks quite nice and warm out there.

Oh, I remember that I loved that too. I love a good ghost story!
