Just finished Hide in Plain Sight by Marta Perry, it was as good as I could expect from the reviews, as it wasn't my kind of book, too much love and God for my liking
Finished Original Skin,which i enjoyed,am now 90% through To the Grave,which i'll finish tonight.Then i'm going to start The Killing Room,i hated the last book of his that i read,so if i'm not enthralled by about 30 pages,i'll give up.

Just finished The Collected Works of Keats which was rather tedious with all the lesser stuff in it. A 'Selected' would probably be 5 stars worth.Just started
which was a 99p Amazon Kindle thing a few weeks back.
Just finished All She Wrote by Josh Lanyon - enjoyed immensely.Just started Fair Game, also by Josh Lanyon - a much more serious read.
I still have part-read books to finish - I've never given up on one yet, but I'm getting close to considering it with Tom Holt's two most recent offerings.
Just finished
. An excellent book on the whole self-publishing lark. The title says it all - they say, but the book adds the greater detail.
If you like their podcasts, you'll like the book, if you don't, you may not.

I set it down at about 20% and picked up another book instead.

Haha! I picked up Good Omens which although I might enjoy at some stage in the future (like Dirk Gently) it's not what I wanna read - so I'm gonna have to change to something else haha!I'm not in the mood for quirky humour books apparently.
Finished a reread of Marnie as I was considering it for including it in my 100 fave novels quilt. Ooh, it comes close, but no cigar. So, started David Hewson's Carnival For The Dead as the extract was good. Now a third thru and have decided to abandon as it just isn't enthusing. Off to reread some Patricia Highsmith 'Ripley' books as DTBs - how come her brilliant novels aren't on kindle?
I've just finished
and it was simply a fantastic horror read:http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...
I'm now onto
which is off to an excellent start.
Hi all, just finished Sharp Objects. Wife recommended it, I wasn't sure. Glad I made the effort. Camille, a self harming alcoholic reporter is sent back to her home town of Wind Gap to investigate a couple of child murders. Flynn really captures the toxic nature of the town and it's residents, they really are a cruel bunch of swine and the effect it has on Camille is dramatic. There's a lot going on yet Flynn still manages to keep the murder plot ticking along nicely in tandem. Very, very good.
I love Good Omens. My copy is a bit tatty now, but that's one that's not going anywhere.I just finished
A cracking good read indeed.
I zipped through Twelve Years a Slave yesterday and today. Interesting read as long as you're not put off by the slightly archaic language.Wanted to read it before I watch the film.
Just finished Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail I really enjoyed it. Now reading The Gods of Guilt
I finished
the other night and have quickly moved onto
. Really enjoying the series so far. I already don't want it to endPatti I picked up Twelve Years a Slave as well, plan on reading it before I watch the film but I can wait for the dvd, too much else to read/watch before then.

Film overrated.
Finished re-reading the excellent Ripley Under Ground, now started Ripley's Game I do love these books!
Just finished Private L.A. - James Patterson. Now I am going to try and read n finish From a Dead Sleep - John A. Daly.
I'm reading "Wicked - the life of the Wicked Witch of the West" but am really struggling with it. I am nearly half way through and considering abandoning it which is something I very rarely do.
Yesterday, I finished From a Dead Sleep - John A. Daly. Now I am reading Home Again, Home Again - Nadine Christian.
I finished Passions of the Dead,started and finished Bad Moon and The Evil Beneath.Now starting The Redeemed.

I finished Man and Wife, I didn't have much time for reading so took me a while but it was brilliant I really enjoyed it, I do love Wilkie Collins. Going to read Wish next
Just finished the really rather wonderful
The Flame AlphabetMy review of it here

Just reviewed Mark Faulkner's novella Infested. It's about a subject (spiders) that many people are phobic about, but the beginning of the novel in particular has some stunning writing about a canoeing holiday. Give it a go!http://ignitebooks.blogspot.co.uk/201...

Just finished getting away with murder is deadly, next book is The One You Love by Paul Lilki gton, very mixed reviews. I also downloaded a reading app on my new tablet and downloaded some classics, so reading Black Cat by Edgar Alan Poe. Not really enjoying it
I'm hoping i have some time off work next week so i can get into a really gripping novel.i just need to choose one. sometimes having thousands of books isn't a good thing.

Ah, what a shame. I saw that lovely cover - it looks like a book on bargello needlework.

Ah, I suspect that's why you're telling Elle that it all makes sense eventually (It doesn't) ...
