Fabulous to get your books signed.
I bought a signed copy of No Limits today. I promised the author Ellie Marney I would buy it instead of borrowing it from the library as she has self published this one.

marlin1 | 422 comments Just received Two Steps Forward by Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist from the recent Goodreads giveaway. Looking forward to this one.


message 3016: by Sally906 (new)

Sally906 | 87 comments I picked up The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena from the library - is suspense that has come well recommended by a few of my reading DNA buddies.

while I was at the library I also picked up The Breakdown by B.A. Paris The Breakdown by B.A. Paris - am reading that now - another suspense.

I do love mysteries where the action is all subtle and there is no in your face blood and guts - it's all mental.

That looks like hours of reading pleasure! It's a much nicer cover than her usual. a bit different genre too though.

Apparently her first historical fiction. I've never read her before :)

I think you would really enjoy her crime novels. I am looking forward to seeing how she performs in HF. She writes well so it should be good.

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments That The Last Hours sounds like a fascinating read Phrynne.
I recently bought on kindle: My Absolute Darling and Nineteen Letters because I got hooked on the hype lol and on my recent visit to the city with Marianne I bought a copy of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine because I trust the recommendations of my GR friends implicitly :[]

To be honest I didn't know what she wrote - when I looked this up I saw it's her first foray into HF :)
