Just finished and reviewed Paul Dale's The Dark Lord's Handbook. Have you read this GL? It's funny, right up your street and it turns the genre rather upside down. I loved it!
I've just finished Daphne by MC Beaton/Marion Chesney which I enjoyed. I've been quite disjointed in my reading lately - I've read a few free romances which weren't that special, I'm slowly reading Yes Sister, No Sister: My Life as a Trainee Nurse in 1950s Yorkshire but am not overly fussed about it (but I paid nearly £5 so I'm going to read it!) and I'm 70% through DD's book, The Promise, which I am enjoying too.

Alice Parker's Metamorphosis
Gray Justice London, the Doggy and Me and Cissie and Ada by Terry Ravenscroft.
Still trying to make up my mind what to read next!



Started Gray Resurrection
Sorry no link for the first two books.

Now reading Hostile Witness by Rebecca Forster
I finished reading M.C. Beaton's Six Sisters series with Diana the Huntress and Frederica in Fashion. I enjoyed the whole series, loved the humour in it - but she hasn't got Georgette Heyer's lightness of touch. I wanted a genre change as I've been reading a lot of romance lately but decided to stick with M.C. Beaton so now I'm reading Hasty Death - I should be enjoying this as it's my sort of thing, but I just can't get into this series. I read the first in the series a few months ago and wasn't fussed on it. I thought I'd try again as I'd bought the rest in the last kindle sale, but it's still not really doing much for me. I find the heroine, Rose, irritating...

I've read the first in the Six Sisters series - saving pennies (& hoping for reductions in an Easter Sale ;) )
the Edwardian series I read through but they weren't as enjoyable as the others.
I'm reading



I enjoyed The Other Room GR. Have you read The Shelter? - a novella by James. Very good read it is too.
You might like to try Mark Faulkner's Flux too which is very thought provoking horror.
Cornelius Harker's Dark Fantasy Saga Words to the Wise and
Words To The Wise: Book Two have elements of horror in them but they are so much more than pure horror. He has some great fans here. His novella A Dish Best Served Cold Is a supernatural thriller too and very spooky with a twist in the tail.
Darren Humphries' Stormwreck is his only (so far) horror story and I really wish he would write more in this genre. He has the talent, just not the confidence I think.

I've also just finished an orange and am about to start on a box of chocolates - but I don't think you wanted to know that ;)

Haha! maybe. It was quite a gentle vampire tale compared to a lot these days.


Just starting

I finished Hasty Death and Yes Sister, No Sister: My Life as a Trainee Nurse in 1950s Yorkshire, both of which I quite enjoy but wasn't over fussed about. Now I'm reading Shelley The Lifeboat Labrador which I am enjoying very much, although the formatting needs some work - there are several blank pages which made me think there was something wrong with my kindle at one point!

I have now started Phone Monkey : The Secret Diary of a Frustrated Call Worker



Just started Gray Justice by Alan McDermott. It's a fast mover and really gripping. Thanks to Sarah for recommending this.

Kate, I know that feeling soooooooooooo well with the book x

I have now started [book:Ph..."
Sarah, I am looking forward to reading his book as well x


followed with Hail Mary (Jim Knighthorse series, #3 (no cover)
Going to start Ghost College

I've finished reading Shelley The Lifeboat Labrador which was slower going than I expected. I did enjoy reading about Shelley but would have like to hear more about the life boat rescues and less about the author's pub visits. Still, it's a nice gentle read. I also read Earth Magic which was good - was inspiring to read what a difference the allotment had made to people's lives. Now I'm reading yesterday's daily deal - Mummydaddy which makes compelling reading - I'm half way through already.
