That's decided it then. The author came from my home town too, and I love canoeing and spending time on the river, so I've been meaning to read it for years but it's one of those which keeps slipping through the net.
Just started Three Men in a Boat

[Natasha]

Just finished Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. What a gorgeous book.

Just started The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda, which I first read in 1998.

I'd also recommend Three Men on the BummelIt's a little darker in places, especially where he discusses duelling, but still a good read

[Kath]

Just finished Simon Jenner'sEthan Justice: Origins

Jolly good stuff!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've finished reading Complete Me - J. Kenner and finished listening to The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year - Sue Townsend on my phone.

Thank you!

I've just finished Bloody Mary by JA Konrath - a bloody mystery thriller that's still light due to a good dose of humour.

This is one of the few books which has made me laugh out loud! Two of my favourite scenes are near the beginning where Jerome reads the medical dictionary and later on when he has a fight with the kettle.

I'm reading Kane and Abel which I'm finding quite gripping. I'm not much of a fan of Archer's writing though, good story but not a lot of depth to it.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've decided to read Halfhead - Stuart MacBride

[Kath]

I'm now reading the latest of the Verity Long books by Lynda Wilcox Scouting For Murder. I really enjoy Lynda's sense of humour and the 'will she, won't she' business with Inspector Farish. She'd better!

"

I've read
Three Men in a Float: Across England at 15 mph and this was very funny and probably in the same vein..... so you may want to read this when you've finished the Boat one!

[♕ ❤ ♕ Princess pink diamonds posh bird LINZY.x.♕ ❤ ♕]

Just finishedThree Little Words
Just started Keep the Home Fires Burning

[[deleted user]]

Finished and enjoyed Kane and Abel, needed something to cheer me up again afterwards and so am now reading Mr Splendiferous and the Troublesome Trolls which is the perfect contrast!

:0)

[T4bsF (Call me Flo)]

Very good book Kane and Abel - I like Jeffrey Archer as an author - I've read quite a few of his now. Waiting for the next in line from the Clifton Chronicles saga - anyone know when it's out?

[Will]

I salute your bravery in confessing to liking Mr Archer as an author.

[T4bsF (Call me Flo)]

You obviously don't rate him then Will! lol

[Jim]

I've never actually read any of his books, but enjoyed the serialised radio adaptation of 'not a penny more not a penny less'

[Michael]

I've just finished The Only Genuine Jones and it was an excellent read:

I'm onto The Dark Victorian: Risen Volume One

[Linda]

Finished The Boy from Hell: Life with a Child with ADHD written by a mum who fought hard to get the best for her child, academically and mentally. Good tips and practical advice given in it too.

Just started The Line, the Itch and the Rabbit Hole

[Will]

After rating it here recently, I'm back on some Graham greene.

The quiet American.

Somehow, it still seems relevant today.

I've just finished reading Mr Splendiferous and the Troublesome Trolls and loved it! Enjoyed it even more than the first one! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Splendiferous...

Now reading Mourning Doves which is still free. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mourning-Dove...

[Michael]

It is a fun read :-)

[Kath]

Just finished Scouting For Murder. Fantastic read! Just started one by a new author whose book isn't on here - Julie McLaren, The Music of the Spheres. Very funny and I'm enjoying it a great deal. Might add it here later.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished reading Mourning Doves which I enjoyed but the ending was too abrupt. Interesting subject matter though, I had never realised before that the upbringing of middle and upper class women at the time (1920's) left them totally dependant on the men in their lives and cut adrift when those men were killed in the war.

Now I'm reading A Woman of Substance, I started to read the sequel first as it was free yesterday, but it's so long since I watched the series on tv (never read the book before) that I decided to buy this one and read it first! http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Woman-of-Su...

interesting, as I read it years ago and mum's just had it as a talking book, but she got bored half way thru!

[Joo]

I'm coming up to the finale of The Music of The Spheres by Julie McLaren. It's very funny, but doesn't seem to be GR. I think Ignite is reading this too.

I've only just started so can't comment much yet, however, I did notice that some of the reviews were complaining that there was too much description and that they got bored and skipped bits. Not sure whether I will or not yet, am enjoying it so far but haven't even finished the first chapter yet!

I am - I've been a bit busy today - will try to add it manually in the morning. I love it!

[Shaun]

Just finished 52 Pick Up by Elmore Leonard.

[Michael]

I've just finished The Dark Victorian: Risen Volume One, which was a fun read:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

I'm now onto Death to love.

[Jud]

I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Escape from the World Trade Center - very eye opening and harrowing, and I have started Winnie the Pooh y Tigger Tambien and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire :o)

[Will]

I see that JK 'I'llneverwriteanotherharrypotter' Rowling has changed her mind after the success of her other ventures.

Funnily, I'd have more respect for her if she left HP and his world alone

I enjoyed Death to love. And there's a sequel promised :)

[Simon]

Just finished Bloody Mary by J.A. Konrath - a serial killer tale with equal parts humour and suspense.

[Sam]

Just finished Days' End by Scott Collins. I enjoyed it, though guessed what was coming very early on.

Just started The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year by Sue Townsend. Not sure if it's going to be my cup of tea, but I love the title.

[Janey]

I really enjoyed this book.

[Joo]

I like a bit of too :)

[Lexie]

Finished two more Dick Francises and am now on the fourth, Straight, which is about jewel-marketing. They go quickly! Still reading Field Notes from a Small City, stimulated by having met the author this week.

Oh, but what about the incident with the tin of pineapple?!

[Lynda]

Just finished which is the 3rd in the 'Ghostwriter' series. Set in Australia, a fun cozy mystery.

Just started Virtual Suspects by Suzanne O'Leary.

I'm quite partial to a Dick Francis occasionally. Rat race is one of my favourites.

[[deleted user]]

I read a few before I got my kindle, and enjoyed them. Must get some on the kindle soon - I never read tree books anymore...

[Jim]

I've been working my way through my Father in laws collection of PG Wodehouse and am enjoying them

[[deleted user]]

Wodehouse, one of the few authors who can make me laugh out loud. I embarrassed my hubby once whilst we were sitting in wetherspoons waiting for our car at the garage, I was reading one of the Blandings novels and couldn't stop laughing.

[Kath]

Just finished Saying Goodbye to Warsaw. Wonderfully told and evolved but I felt the ending weakened it. Seem like no-one else thought that!

Also just finished The Music of the Spheres by Julie McLaren. This is wonderfully funny. I loved it!

Whoops, edit to blog link! http://www.ignitebooks.blogspot.co.uk...

I've just finished Death to love, which was an enjoyable murder mystery:

Glad you enjoyed Death to love too.
I've just finishedCorvus: A Life with Birds, which was a delight - as well as thought-provoking and educational. I certainly have more respect for magpies now.
Just started (and almost finished cos it's not v long) The Smell of the Night

I agree about the ending! I just haven't wrote my review up yet due to illness.

[Karen]

Finished The Smell of the Night which was ok but a bit slight. Now started The Language of Flowers, so far so good - tho my mum didn't like it...

[Kath]

I liked that - but I could have shaken the girl!

[Natasha]

Read in a couple of hours Susie Orbach On Eating. Enjoyed. Good advice.

Still reading The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda.

And halfway through 1979: A Big Year in a Small Town by Rhona Cameron. This could be the funniest book I have ever read, possibly because she has lived my life as far as teenage lesbian stalking of teachers is concerned, and is mercilessly witty about the experience.
