Here's my review for Descent by Tim Johnston which I finished this weekend. Brenda recommended it and it was very good, if a little slow to get going.

Today I finished The Diary of a Young Girl - Incredible! I read Night last year, it was interesting to see the differences and similarities between the two personal accounts of that terrible time.

Started Palo Alto by James Franco... First story ended a bit abruptly and was a little distasteful in my eyes, but we'll see how the rest go.

Also revisiting my childhood by reading a chapter of The Faraway Tree series with my kids at bedtime, haven't been going for long so we're only a few chapters in to The Enchanted Wood.

The Folk of the Faraway Tree and The Enchanted Wood are two books I remember from my childhood too Jodie; my grandkids are reading them now:) Wonderful books!

I remember reading them to my children too and they loved them. Still have them waiting for my grandchildren.

Thanks, Sally and Marianne :-) I know a lot of people love this book, so I was afraid my review wouldn't go down too well!

I love seeing when a person, who generally shares my tastes in books, loves something I hate or vice versa. I find it fascinating Sally.

That is good to hear :-) I'm the same, I totally respect someone who dislikes a book I love, especially if we get to discuss why. It's just another of the great things about books, they affect every individual in individual ways.

I've just started the new book by Posie Graeme-Evans Wild Wood: A Novel and loving it. I'm reading it at the same time as Sandi Wallace Tell Me Why Very different and both great. I see Marcia and Brenda that Posie's book is on 'your to read' lists too!

It's a wonderful bit of escapism Brenda, and nothing like a handsome lead character or two to make it more enjoyable!

Runaway is the first book I've read by Peter May but it won't be the last. Luckily, when I checked, my library has quite a few of his.
I loved this book, as those of you who got my recommendation already know. Definitely 5★s my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Not to put anyone off, because there wasn't any horror as such, but the characterisation and the storytelling made me think of Stephen King, whose storytelling talents I love, so that's high recommendation from me.
Anyway, lots of nostalgia for those of us born in the forties or fifties, and the last page brought a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye.

[Leonie]

Thanks for the recommendation, Marianne, it looks great!

[Regina]

I just finished The Giver.
