Melanie don't worry...You'll get back into reading soon.:)
I've also had moments like that where I don't feel like reading but it will pass.

I like Lady Julia as well and I'm hoping to read The Dark Enquiry soon, glad to hear it's good!

I've finished and gave it 4 stars. There were a few things I wasn't happy about, such as character development, but I loved the idea of alternating the story between 9th century Scotland and the present. Overall it was an engaging read and I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thanks for the link, Dale! I did like it, despite some misgivings, and gave it 4 stars. If you like this kind of time-slip story, have you tried Susanna Kearsley's books, such as The Shadowy Horses, Mariana or The Winter Sea?

Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor :)
Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor :)

Oh yes she is...very funny. I was thinking about reading this book.



I didn't know there was a first book. I'll link it so everyone can see itThe Lucy Family Alphabet :)

By the way Frances, I'll add you to the Authors list probably tomorrow. My home computer is playing up atm :(

Lol Sounds like one doesn't it but nothing could be further from the truth. Here's a little of her book description. ' In Drink, Smoke, Pass Out, she tries to find out if there's more to life than wanting to suck tequila out of Ryan Gosling's navel.'
I haven't read much yet but it's about how she embarks on a quest to discover what other people get from their religious beliefs.

Thanks Mish



The Help by Kathryn Stockett - it's a great book Melanie.

I'm on my home computer Tango & it's not happening at my end
