I've recently finished books by two authors I particularly like, Jacqueline Winspear's Elegy for Eddie and Kate Quinn's Empress of the Seven Hills. Worlds apart in time--Winspear's is set in London between the World Wars and Quinn's travels across the Roman Empire while Trajan was emperor. I loved them both and recommend them. My review of Elegy for Eddie and my review of Empress of the Seven Hills.

Last night I finished Office Politics - Sharon Gerlach. Now I am gonna carry on reading Cut Short - Leigh Russell.

[Nell]

Just finished Utz - an unusual hybrid of biography and fiction (still not sure what's true and what isn't), and started Vic's Big Walk: From SW France to NW England. I'm about half way through and enjoying the easy mix of journal, history and anecdote.

Sorry re links but they don't want to appear for me today.

Seems to be OK now - here it is for anyone vaguely tempted - thanks, Sarah :) Solitary Pleasures

[Philip (sarah)]

Finished Solitary Pleasures and thoroughly enjoyed every single page of it.
Now reading one of our group reads Room.

[M.A.]

[Jacquie]

Just finished Secondary Targets and started an old favourite Dead End.

[Jane]

Just finished a recent freebie which I enjoyed Death of a Serpent and started The Value of Life

I've finished reading another Donna Fasano book - Taking Love In Stride - I've enjoyed all of her books so far - nice romances with plenty of feeling and likeable characters. Then I skip read a couple because they weren't that well written - Lucien's Fall and A Hint of Rapture then read Wild Angel by the same author who wrote Hint of Rapture but was a better story I thought - but everything works out a bit too easily.. but sometimes I skip through stuff like that when I don't want to think about much.

Have at last finished The Kashmir Shawl - there are a lot of good points, the research (political and geographical) is well done and makes for an authentic feel. Just couldn't really care enough about the people - which in a book this length was rather a struggle. So, quite liked it, but will be glad to get my teeth into something a little fleshier. Next on my list I'm looking forward to reading Pennance by one of our GR authors Clare Ashton

[Anita]

Just finished " Solitary Pleasures" by Nell Grey, I really enjoyed it. "The Somnambulist" by Essie Fox, which was good." Before the Poison" by Peter Robinson, I was disappointed in this book.
"The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern,
"Blood Harvest" by S.J.Bolton
"Bet you can't...Find me" Linda S. Parker,
the last 3 books were exceptionally good, & everyone is getting fed up of me saying "have you read...."
Not sure what I will start reading tonight, not sure what sort of mood I am in.

[Patti (baconater)]

Hi Anita!!! So lovely to see you, darling!

I just finished London, the Doggy and Me by 'our' Rosen.

If you'd like some really good laughs, give it a read. I had to leave the room as I was disturbing Dave. Hehe

[Anita]

Hi Patti!! sounds good, will go & have a look at it now.

[Jacquie]

Just finished Dead End and started The Kult.

[Patti (baconater)]

I've just bumped the number one in the kindle store and written by one of OUR groupites (I'm so chuffed!) Only the Innocent to the top of my TBR and I'm going to start it right now!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Only-the-Inno...

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I finished Cut Short - Leigh Russell. Now I am going to read Fairy Tale Flirts 5 Romantic Short Stories - Lisa Scott.

[Lorraine]

Yay Jacquie !!!


Saw your facebook post Patti, certainly looks good, might just add it to my challenge :)

[Kath]

I found Rachel's book absolutely enthralling Patti - and one to make you think. It richly deserves its number one spot!

[Pat ()]

What a superb read from the first page right through to the last. I recommend this one with out reserve.
Only the Innocent

Just finished The Black Echo Started yesterday enjoyed reading this one.

Half way through Along Came a Spider also enjoying this one.

[[deleted user]]

I've recently read A Bottle of Plonk and Mountain Laurel and enjoyed both of them. I'm reading Orlando's Gift at the mo.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have just finished Fairy Tale Flirts 5 Romantic Short Stories - Lisa Scott Now I am reading Uncle Mildred and Other Stories - Ian Ayris.

[Jane]

Just finished The Value of Life a kidnapper leaves it up to the parents how much the ransom should be / how much their child's life is worth. Really enjoyed it!
Next up is The Kult

[Jud]

I finished The Phantom of the Opera, The real Pirates of the Caribbean (not worth reading) and Last Train From Liguria which I absolutely loved

Thank you Jacquie and Jane for reading my work. I hope you both enjoy it.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I finished Double Cross last night, it was OK, but the ending was very disappointing. Am going to start Cross Country next, but dont think I will enjoy it going off the blurb. Am on my last 3 Cross books, I know I am missing 17 and 18, but think I will have a break and read some other authors for a bit before getting them.

[Jud]

I just started The Great Rock N Roll Doomsday Tour

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Uncle Mildred and Other Stories - Ian Ayris. Now I am about to start Shattered - Karl Jones.

[Jacquie]

Finished The Kult last night and enjoyed it so much I bought Killers. I hope Shaun has more crime novels planned.

Just started Secrets of the Tudor Court.

[Shaun]

Wow. Thank you, Jacquie. Really appreciate it. I've given Prosper a rest for the moment. I did start a third novel, and hopefully I will return to it once I get the novellas I'm releasing out of the way :)

Thanks so much for giving this a go, Fiona, and of course for helping the cause. And the review on Amazon - brilliant. Put a big smile on me face :)

No more than you deserve like your brother x

What do modern Tibet, Cleopatra’s Egypt, revolutionary France, contemporary Paris, reincarnation, the Chinese mafia, the Dalai Lama, the catacombs, perfume production, and Greek mythology have to do with each other? Read The Book of Lost Fragrances and you will find out. My review

The idea's there. I just need the time to write it! :)

[Kath]

just finished Ian's fantastic Abide With Me and started reading a tree book - eeks - Robert Goddard - Beyond Recall...

Tree book simply cos I can get Goddard books quite easily from charity shops for about a quid or so, and simply can't afford the Kindle price of about a fiver... Don't worry, I am not being disloyal, my Kindle knows the score and understands!!

[Lorraine]

Shaun wrote: "The idea's there. I just need the time to write it! :) "

Well if there's anything I can do (cook for you, eat for you, sleep for you, etc... ) so you can spend the time that you would have otherwise spent on this activities on writing novel 3 , let me know !
I'd offer to go to work for you but I'd mess up though...

Lol. Thanks. It's because of the support of people like your good self that I will finish it :)

[Lorraine]

Well it's not totally unselfish you know, but if there's anything I/we can do to say thanks for the great read, you know where to call :)

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've now got both of the 2 series :-)

Then I hope your anticipation isn't disappointed! And thank you for purchasing. I really appreciate it :)

[Kath]

Just finished (for the second time!) Stuart's wonderful 'A Cleansing of Souls.' He has such a fantastic way with words and a deeply sympathtic outlook on life.
Just started John A A Logan's 'The Survival of Thomas Ford.' I'm only 5% in but I'm already gripped. It's going to be a goodie!

[Nell]

Sarah, Anita, glad you both enjoyed Solitary Pleasures, thanks for the lovely words.

Just abandoned The Cave and started Animism: Respecting the Living World, but it's not available as a Kindle book, so perhaps I shouldn't mention it...

[Lorraine]

Just finished Bet you can't... Find Me
Just started The Crossing Places.

[Karen]

That's a coincidence, Lorraine -The Crossing Places is next on my TBR list!
I've just finished Pennance by GR author Clare Ashton - a great debut novel, she has a lovely writing style, good characters & suspense - kept me reading right from page 1.

[Lorraine]

The Crossing Places is reduced at the moment to £2.14 so i nabbed it.

[Karen]

I bought it last year, hence it's next on the TBR pile, and it was 1.49. That's inflation for you!!

[Chris]

Hi all,
I've just started 'The Toy Sorcerer' by the fabulous Laura Hart. She's opened a Q & A thread in Goodreads - why not pop over for a chat? I'm learning loads and swapping desert island books too!

[Philip (sarah)]

Finished Orlando's Gift
People, Pubs and Enlightenment
A Dish Best Served Cold
Kill Alex Cross and Cross Fire by James Patterson, Tree books I had left over from the olden days.
