     I've started The Lovers by Vendela Vida. None of my GR friends have read this. I now can't remember why I've selected this book but hopefully it'll be a good read.

Julie wrote a great review on it so I moved it to the top of mine. Thanks Jules :)
 I've got to The Gardener Who Could See. Slowly making my way through my kindle books. They seem to hide there as unlike hard copies I'm not tripping over them all the time

It's funny how that happens. I sometimes go through my TBR list and wonder what I was thinking when I added certain books

Oh...perfect Holiday read Sally! Go on, you know you want to ;)
        
      I just picked up A Man Called Ove from the library and started it while I was waiting forever to get a coffee in one of the packed out cafés. 
It's good that everyone is saying how wonderful it is because the first chapter is not inspiring. I gather I need to keep reading and its magic will grab me.

I hope it's not a case of the book being over-hyped for you Phrynne. Ove does seem like just a grumpy old man initially and does grow on you as the book goes on.

      I finished Daring to Dream by Nora Roberts. I prefer her when she is writing as J.D. Robb but it wasn't a bad read.
