Just finished Write Your Novel From the Middle: A New Approach for Plotters, Pantsers and Everyone in Between - which was interesting and - probably - useful.

Short & worth a read.

Just started Writing the Novel: From Plot to Print.

Just finished The Girl with All the Gifts

Amazing! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Kath]

Just started Tales of Tinfoil: Stories of Paranoia and Conspiracy which is an anthology of stories about conspiracy theories. They are all fiction but they take some of the famous ones and then take them just a bit further... or in a different direction. Really enjoying these.

[L.A.]

Just finished Blue Monday by Nicci French which i really enjoyed - must be the psychoanalyst in me. As it was the first of a series i'll have to track down the next. Just started The Red Room, also by Nicci French.

Enjoying it so far Natasha, trying not to read too much as I'm going to stay with my oldest and dearest friend on Thursday and with a little luck will get quite a bit of time to read ( she has Lukeima so has to rest quite a bit ) so a good novel or two is just perfect. I don't usually get time during the day to read so when I do I enjoy it even more. It seems everyone agrees that it is a very good book.

[Kath]

I enjoyed it, Anita. It kept making you re-evaluate what you thought you knew about the characters and their motives. Very cleverly done.

[David]

Just started Walkin' the Dog, the second Socrates Fortlow novel.

I've just put The Red Room in the charity pile, must have enjoyed it to keep it.

I'm sure I will enjoy it Kath, well I am doing even after 10% looking forward to getting on with it in the next few days.

[Martin]

Just finished Scapegoats of the Empire: The True Story of Breaker Morant's Bushveldt Carbineers. Just started The Jefferson Allegiance.

[Marc]

just about to start Tony and Susan about which I've heard terrific things. Can't wait

[Michael]

I've just finished reading Martin Cosgrove's 'The Destiny of Ethan King' and while it didn't grab me as much as I hoped it would it was still a decent read:

[Anita]

Just finished Ghostly Paws a delightful novel that stopped me reading too much of Fingersmith before I go away. It was a nice light read and I did enjoy it.

[L.A.]

Just finished . Really enjoyed it, especially being told in the first person as a psychotherapist who sees the world more clearly and in a different way from the police. I'm a bit surprised that the therapist wasn't the one to become the first of the Frieda series, but then the Frieda character is quite similar to this one, but a bit older I feel.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have read and finished Black Wood - S.J.I. Holliday. Now reading/listening to The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larsson.

[Tim]

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I finished Depraved Difference today, can't decide whether to give it 4 or 5 stars.

Read those yonks ago. Jolly good stuff.

[L.A.]

Just started Mapping the Edgeand quite enjoying it. A bit confusing but I think I've now sussed that it telling at least 2 alternative stories in parallel.

[Andrew]

I've just started Imperfect Strangers.

It's off to a very good start :)

[Kath]

Just finished an anthology which isn't like anything else I've ever read. It's called Tales of Tinfoil: Stories of Paranoia and Conspiracy - darned good read!

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

Just started The Hoard by Neil Grimmett. Really gripping thriller about a Royal Ordnance factory and unexplained deaths... Watch this space.

Also Welcome To Wherever You Are by John Marrs. Love his Wronged Sons.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Girl Who Played with Fire - Stieg Larsson and now I am reading Birdman - Mo Hayder.

[Kath]

Finished Welcome To Wherever You Are by John Marrs. Great stuff, woven like a mesh.

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

Another really good thriller to review shortly.

[Kath]

I said I'd be back!

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

Thriller set in a Royal Ordnance factory - as if that wasn't thrill enough! New author to me but a very good writer.

[David]

Just finished Walkin' the Dog, not as good as his Easy Rawlins books, but still worthwhile.

Just finishedThe Gentlemen's Club which I rather liked, told in the style of those Victorian erotica books that were quite popular back in the 80s, like The Way of a Man with a Maid and so forth. A good fun read.

Just started The Impossible Dead which is good so far.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've finished Birdman - Mo Hayder. Now reading 50 Shades of Pink - K.T. Grant.

[David]

Just finished Inquisitor. Great book.

[Kath]

Just finished a publisher's review copy - I'll review when they let me! Just started A Wicked Snow by Gregg Olsen. Well, it was 49p on The Hippo. Really good!

[Michael]

I've just finished reading Tim Arnot's Wanted, the first book in his Flick Carter series. It's an excellent read in a well realised future. You can read my review here:

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished 50 Shades of Pink - K.T. Grant. Now about to start Silent Scream - Angela Marsons.

[Sophie]

I've just finished All the Pretty Horses - a very challenging read but worth it. Now reading Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie as a free R&R for another group which shouldn't take too long and then will be moving on to No Time for Goodbye

[David]

Just finished The Impossible Dead which was pretty decent.

Just started Bird Box which has an intriguing beginning.

[David]

Just finished Watching You Great book: 5*

Just started The Third Rule - The Complete Story . Halfway through chapter one, and I love the writing style; a promising beginning.

[Kath]

I love Andy's style too. Really down to earth but it grabs you when you least expect it to.

Just finished A Wicked Snow by Gregg Olsen. Very good stuff. American thriller.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Might read The Ice Twins now.

[Lexie]

Just finished The Merchant's House by Kate Atkinson, the first in her long series of archaeology / police procedurals. These are easily read as free standers but I was pleased finally to read the first one. Very enjoyable, lots of twists in the plot.

Still reading Darren Humphries The Man from UNDEAD who Came in from the Cold; Andrew Barnett's Stealing Elgar; Rachel Abbot's Stranger Child; Jenny Shaw's Disturbances, and last and so far least, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It is definitely the hardest to be interested in!

Oh, I mean Kate Ellis - sorry if I got anyone's hopes up!

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

haha I was just feverishly looking that up!

[Lexie]

I would have been, too - maybe it was wishful thinking! I like Kate Ellis too, though.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I don't think I've read her - I will give her a go :)

[Lexie]

Hope you enjoy them, then!

[L.A.]

Just finished by Sarah Dunant. In the end I suppose I grudgingly enjoyed this although i did find it rather odd. It was unusual to have 2 parallel threads with the same person as the main character, and unsatisfying to be left without knowing which was the 'real' one at the end.

Just started which is a re-read and really enjoying again. Last it several years ago so the plot is unfolding afresh.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Silent Scream - Angela Marsons. Now off to read Evil Games - Angela Marsons.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Finished Cross My Heart, getting fed up of people going after Alex Cross' family. Not sure what paperback to read next

[Kath]

Just finished The Ice Twins which is a fantastic psychological thriller - amongst other things.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Not sure what I'll read next.

[Sophie]

Just finished Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie and about to review it.

Just started No Time for Goodbye. I've really enjoyed other Linwood Barclay books that I've read so hopefully this one will follow suit!

[Stuart]

Just finished Child of God by Cormac McCarthy which was chillingly wonderful. Just started Not Fade Away by Jim Dodge.

[Sophie]

I've just finished Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie which I didn't particularly enjoy and now reading No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay which I'm really enjoying

Darn. I was torn between that or Nineteen Minutes as my first Jodi Picoult. I chose the latter. Wishing I'd chosen the former. Just finished Nineteen Minutes. I did enjoy it overall, but I felt it was bogged down by so much detail, writing was a tad clunky, and some key parts were unbelievable.

Just started We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for the Goodreads F-word group BOTM. Only 65 pages!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Evil Games - Angela Marsons. Now I am reading Dying For Christmas - Tammy Cohen.
