Thanks, Brenda. One to digest and make me think and one purely for entertainment.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

A good way to read;)

Looking forward to your review Jools. I heard her talk about it set the SWF and it sounded fascinating.

I'm liking it so far, not far in, it's 1255 and having a conversation with one of the scribes and how he laboriously goes about writing up and copying things such as their chronicles on sheepskin. Fascinating.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have just started The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton Not far in, but it's GOOD!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Ooh great! I'm looking forward to that one too Brenda, do you think I should read her previous books first? I want to read Sister but don't have it yet.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No they're all standalone Jools:) I read her previous and loved them both - this one looks like it will be as brilliant (at least!)

My review for Stacy Green's latest thriller, Gone To Die 5★s

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just turned the last page of The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton - absolutely breathtakingly brilliant! My review will follow soon :)

[Sally906]

I have just picked up Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty (a July release) a YA fantasy horror.

As I previously posted I am also reading My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises by Fredrik Backman As others have mentioned this one is written from the POV of a 7 year old girl. A very advanced 7 year old girl as it does not read how a ‘normal’ 7 year old would speak. However it does not bother me as I am suspecting she may be either a genius or on the Autistic spectrum, possibly both! I am loving it - another book where I am trying to read it slowly because I don't want it to end!)

Wow Brenda! Can't wait to read it now!! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm blown away by how good this one is Jools! How can an author get so much tension, so much brilliance in one book? And put little snippets of humour in to lighten things as well!

I haven't read A Man Called Ove, although it's on my list for the year, but are these stand-alone books? Could I read My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises before A Man Called Ove?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes most definitely Kathryn:) Nothing like each other...

You can't go wrong with a Rosamund Lupton novel.

[Marianne]

just a little way into Let Me Die in His Footsteps by Lori Roy but already intrigued by the storyline

[B the BookAddict]

I've finished The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Ruiz Zafon weaves such a tantalising mystery involving an author, Barcelona and a bookshop among other things. 4★

Picked up Fiercombe Manor or The Girl in the Photograph as it's known in Australia by Kate Riordan. It's very ho-hum after reading Ruiz Zafon.

That is the prequel to The Shadow of the Wind isn't it?

It is a 'prequel' in when it is set. Starts in 1917 but moves swiftly to correlating time of 1945 (same as TSOTW). But in the trilogy of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, it is Book #2.

I believe it was your review which led to me seeing the cover art which is why I bought it :P

Nothing like judging your book by its cover:)

I have this one. I need a book with a yellow cover for another challenge I am on and this will fit the bill - thank you for reminding me I had it :)

It's certainly very yellow:)

[Sally906]

I have just finished Sisters and Rivals by Margaret Lynette Sharp.

A very satisfying story - a pleasant few hours reading with a glass or two of wine!

Or not choosing a book! Although the title can also help. Emails from Freebooksy feature quite a lot of books with muscly half-naked men on the cover. Easy to say no to something like this, just on cover and title:
TAKEN IN THE NIGHT BY MY BILLIONAIRE WEREWOLF STEPBROTHER: A STEAMY TABOO SHIFTER TALE OF FORBIDDEN LOVE

Really!?

I find the same when looking at the covers of some of the giveaways. Easy to scroll through and think which ones I would never read.

Indeed!
