Hiya Tess

I recently bought The Historian from a charity shop whilst looking for books for some research I'm doing at the moment. Enjoying the book so far. I'm onto section two and the plot is thickening!! :-S :-0 x

If anyone wants to try a different genre, Triple Alpha (an eBook) by D. Scothern one of a few by this indie author is a good read.

Has anybody been watching "My Life in Books" on BBC2 with Anne Robinson?

Its about 2 well known people who pick their favourite books and discuss why they have been important to them through their lives.....

I always record this programme as find very interesting :-)

I nwatch it when I remember. Don't much like Anne Robinson but she is okay in this.

An interesting selection of guests, plus a really good selection of books.
Especially as the books the guests chose are from various periods of their life (including childhood)
Any moe "Just William" fans out there?

I have just finished and really enjoyed The Light Behind The Window by Lucinda Riley. A really good read.

I really did enjoy that book Ann :-D

Shame nobody voted for it on Greaders so I will be the only one reading it. :-D

Will look out for "The Light Behind the Window" the next time I get to the Library.

Thanks for letting us know about this bppk.

Hope you can get it Tess

Funny you all mentioning my life in books...as that's where I found out about The Art Of Racing In the Rain...Clare Balding selected it as one of her favourites and I immediately downloaded it from Amazon after hearing her speak about it lol.

It's a really easy read Mersey. Let me know what you made of it lol x

Hi all....

Well I have finished The Last Telegram and have to say I really enjoyed it, a lovley easy read, and also didnt realise it was loosley based on a true stroy....8/10

Now ive started Lilians Story mentioned by Muffy on here....... :-D

Hello fellow readers :-)

Have finished Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel,
enjoyable read for anyone into history and
am now onto Abandoned Women by Lucy
Frost.....am feeling so sad for these women
who were transported to Van Diemens island,
but more so for their children, very sad stories.

Emma

Lillian's story was ok. Got a bit bored towards the end as I kept getting confused by all the family lol...but the early years were interesting x

I've just acquired entitled WHAT IF

Its a series of debates about huge incidents in time....

Example,what if Pontius Pilate had spared Jesus?

What if Hitler had won the war?

Muffy havent had much chance to read ...but im half way through Lilians Story, im atually quite enjoying...I wasnt sure at the beginning but ive stuck with it.... :-)

You can get free online books

The Knights of Rhodes :)

Ann,it's available online as a talking book.

Am nearly finished Wolf Hall (not as fast as Emma!) and can't wait to get the next one which is up for a Booker prize I believe, not that that means much I suppose. A good read is a good read :-D <3
