did you enjoy, would you recommend it ?
what genre do you put it as ?

Hi Uzzi, I've just finished reading The Warrior's Princess, by Barbara Erskine. I'd recomment it to anyone.

Genre...well it's historical fiction with a good dash of time-slip. It's as though two stories are being told, one in the distant past and one in the present, but the two are linked supernaturally.

Almost ashamed to admit it was a Jeffrey Archer book lol.

Prisoner of Birth.

I really enjoyed it.......but I actually like the way he writes ..........I know some don't xx

Can also give a big thumbs up to TWs ........she's my favourite authour and that's a stunning example of her talent x

I don't mind Archer, though I haven't read any of his for ages...

It's really good TW.

Want me to send it on? xx

I'm working my way through a few of the classics again, as I haven't read them for years and years (and Amazon had an offer on at £1.99 each!).
So I've just finished reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles....it was lovely as ever.

Erskine ?? heard the name but never picked up to read, will look met time for them.

Muffy I read Jeffery Archers prison books and did enjoy the 1st and to some extent the last obviously the middle got boring but he is a very good writer

I've only read the third Uzzi and did enjoy that. Certainly made me look at prisoners and prison life in a totally different way. xx

Yes please Muffy.

Sorry, I've got an imposter on my farm lol

muffy I have his all of them here still for some reason I haven't given away or sold but often lent, and yes it makes you look at things different.

shipwrecks on the tees and tyne

Playing For Pizza by John Grisham, not one of his best books, Innocent Man was his best, as it was a non-fiction, fantastic, think the catogory is crime/thriller, damn good read.

joy I can imagine that for genealogist of the area of the area that must be interesting .

I am finding that I enjoy history based novels much more now

For really good historical fiction Uzzi......I'd recommend Sarum by Edward Rutherford.

Absolutely brilliant........it's a real epic.

It's the history of Salisbury from the earliest time to almost present day.......kind of follows the family lines too through the ages.as far as I know I have no connection to Salisbury but it had me gripped. Have read the others too....but Sarum is by far the best imho xx

Ahh TWG I did find grisham got very samey, but I did read painted house which was a true based story, Innocent man and Playing for Pizza came after that and so far I haven't read

Muffy will look out for it ta

Kitchener's Last Volunteer: The Life of Henry Allingham

The Last Fighting Tommy: The Life of Harry Patch


I would recommend both of these. Henry Allingham is now the oldest man in the world.

Muffy I was looking at that on Amazon the other day..Sarum i mean.

I might get it now. Got two Jules Watsons to get through first lol

Just finished the latest Nicci French - which are really written by a husband and wife team. They are Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, and they write psychological thrillers. Well worth a read. The long winter nights will just fly by

have read all of John Grisham books, only read when I go down my caravan. Peace and Quiet,,,, I repeat Peace and Quiet lol
