Your welcome Greenfingers :-D Anytime

Well ive just finished Pam Jenoff I absolutley loved it :-D

Going to start The Memory Garden by Rachel Hore, the last one I read of hers was great....anyone read it ?? :-)

Just finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami and just starting on Norwegian Wood by the same author .He is a brilliant story teller .

Defintley never heard of the author but will google and take a look If six was Nine :-)

You may have heard of his best seller Kafka on The Shore a underated writer . :-D

Started a new book last night, a Tess Gerritson. I have read most of her books a couple of years ago, but must have missed this one, which I got in a charity shop.
If I had not put it down when I did, I'd still have been reading it at 2.00 in the morning.
Such a brilliant writer. So rivetting.

"Under the Wire", William Ash.

WW2 American spitfire pilot, true story, so far great read.

,"in March 1942, he was shot down and was caught by the Gestapo, twice being sentenced to death before being "rescued" by the German Luftwaffe, and shipped off to Stalag Luft III. He was later moved to and escaped from Oflag XXI-B through the latrine tunnel with Harry Day and Peter Stevens. Escaping became his prime preoccupation for the rest of the war and he was subsequently awarded the MBE for his escaping activities".

Hi RB, now that book sounds right up my street going to take a look :-)

Hi Julia what type of books does Tess Gerritson write , I have to say Ive not heard of her........ :-)

Morning Mersey
Tess Gerritson writes thrillers, mainly medical thrillers.
Once you have read one, you want to read all her other books.

Thanks Julia will take a look..... :-)

But Julia you haven't said which Tess Gerritsen you are reading... I enjoy her books too

The L Shaped Room by Lynne Reid Banks. (again).

I am reading "As the Crow Flies" by Jeffrey Archer and really enjoying it.

Just finished Linwood Barclays Too Close to Home...excellent read, set in a small town where everyone knows everyone else, and then 3 people of one family are murdered, but should it have been them ?

Sorry Greengingers, what am I like.
The book I was refering to was Life Support by Tess Gerritsen.
Yesterday I got three more books
Girl Missing by Tess Gerritsen
Theodore Boone by John Grisham
Conspiracy Club by Jonathan Kellerman
All the Kellerman family are good writers. I used to read alot of Patricia Cornwall, but her last 4/5 have been abit 'technical' in that there is alot about computers in the books, instead of 'sluething'
I like Kathy Reichs, and I have read Linwood Barclay, and I like, but I don't think I have read that particular one. Also, James Patterson. Infact anything about criminology/murder etc.

The Thread by Victoria Hislop
Rachx

I have just finished reading This Heart Within Me Burns" by Crissy Rock...

Born and bread in backstreets of Liverpool, an astonishing and heartwrencing book, with laugh out humour all wrapped up in one......

Would defintley recommend this book......Crissy Rock...You Rock!!

:-D

Often listen to audio books online.

Have bought 2 of Dan Brown titles Angels & Demons and The Lost Symbol.

They and a good crossword puzzle keep me going.

Hi Mersey Doodles
I acquired quite a few over the holdays. Will go upstairs later and have a look and let you know.

I will keep my eye out for that one by Chrissie Rock. Is it in the Supermarkets.

Many Thanks
