Amber-
I agree that the first three you mentioned are better stories, but Apt Pupil is the one that still gives me creepy flashbacks, even after 20 years. :o

I am currently reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon and listening to The Choice. My digital download of Winter's Tale ended and even though it is ok and I want to finish it I don't want to buy it because I don't love it so I am back on the hold list for it. I anticipate getting it back in about a week.

Also working on Diaper Free Baby, and Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future

I have Middlemarch in my car cd player and am half way through as well. It will be interesting to see how all the Characters come together.


Cheers, will do.

Something about it is very reminiscent of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time for me. I think it might have something to do with it's portrayal of the protagonist's issues (although, I know in The Curious Incident... The protagonist is autistic which is technically a neurodevelopment disorder rather than a mental health issue, I feel like the first hand account of disordered thinking/living in both books draw parallels).
In any case, it is making for a pretty wonderful read (if slightly jarring; as the story is made up of anecdotes from here and there that don't adhere to a strict timeline).


Mayme- I have The Shock of the Fall to read, glad to hear ..."
Would love to know what you think of The Husband 's Secret.


This is the last in her series on the Irish century. If you have any interest in Ireland, these novels give you a very good feel of the birth of modern Ireland.
Good history, but even better novels.





Just started The Gospel of Loki, for a break in my Shakespeare reading. It'll be interesting to see how much it is influenced by the Marvel adaptations of Loki, or if it will stick to the traditional myths found in The Prose Edda etc.




Amy, I have not yet read Miss Peregrine's, but would like to for next month. What did you think of this book?


I'll read both books together. Thanks!

I am enjoying all of them to be honest. I haven't read as much this month so far due to my line manager being away and having to pick up hours at work. :( She is back on Saturday so let the cramming commence!

Nearing half way through MaddAddam. Not 100% into it, but it's still a very good read. Can't beat Margaret Atwood's writing..,



So as of tonight I'm digging in to Martin Harbottle's Appreciation of Time by Dominic Utton. (I have read the back of the book and am mightily relieved that it sounds like a great story).
