I read Middlesex last week, which is an absolutely fantastic book, read Paper Towns over the weekend, which I also enjoyed and now I'm on to Casino Royale.
Oh it's SO good Tim. I'm well on the way with Part 2 now. It's got depth and humanity as well as crime and baddies.
Couldn't get on with Death of an Old Git so hve abandoned it at 20 per cent read. Now getting my teeth into Peter May's The Lewis Man which is promising so far. Loved his The Blackhouse
I finished reading
by Janet Evanovich this morning. Stephanie's adventures still make me laugh after 11 novels. There are so many hilarious and witty scenes in this book. But I have to admit I was a bit annoyed by Stephanie in this book. I just wish she'd finally choose between Joe Morelli and Ranger! Now I'm reading
by Kate Morton.
Just finished The Third Rule - Part Two: Running Scared by 'our Andy Barrett. I can't get over how emotionally deep, rich and dark this is - it's far above the normal run of cops and robbers, goodies and baddies crime fiction. You won't be surprised then, to hear that I've just started The Third Rule - Part Three: Sacrifices
I read a very soppy and sweet short story romance last night - Love At First Date, thoroughly enjoyed it!
I'm over half way through Vic's new book, Living In The Real Cyprus which I am finding very interesting.

Ellie, do you find that Stephanie is getting a bit same ol' same ol'? If I was Morelli, I'd dump her good and final since she seems to get too close to Ranger every time. I think I've got up to about #15. I do like Lula, though.I've just finished Shattered. I was really impressed with it.
Not sure what to start next. Something light and fluffy, maybe, but I don't feel like a fluffy book.
Finished (and loved) Reb Macrath's The Vanishing Magic of Snow back on October 15, and my review was posted today on the indieebookreview site:http://indieebookreview.wordpress.com...
And Goodreads page:

(Sorry that's not a proper, clean link like everyone else can do here...wish I knew how to do one!)

Now I'm about to start This thirtysomething life: A Diary to hopefully join in with KUF's discussions later. I've had this high on my TBR anyway since Kath recommended it!

Just finished The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling which I enjoyed more than I was expecting to! Have just started The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan.
I've just finished proofing Sibel Hodge's new kids book. I think it's going to be a huge hit for young and old when it comes out in a few weeks. :-)
Just finishedMurder on the Mind,was quite good,about a bloke that get attacked by muggers with a baseball bat,after getting head injuries he has some psychic poweres,i don't normally read this type of book but the psychic angle is very subtle.Just starting Vigilante.
Just finished The Third Rule - Part Three: Sacrifices- the final part in the astonishingly good trilogy by Andrew Barrett. It's just left me reeling. It's beyond fantastic. I think he is the authentic voice of British crime fiction. I've just started The Swimmer - another crime/mystery type of thing but it's suffering very badly by comparison.
Finished The Blue Suitcase and starting T.F.Muir An Eye for an Eye. I cannot find the link. Another crime novel set in St Andrews. For a tiny place there is an awful lot of murders there.
I've just finished This thirtysomething life: A Diary, was rather crude in places for my taste, but in the end I did enjoy it.
Haven't made my mind up as to what to read next...

I finished reading A Life For A Life - Tim Ellis and now I am going to embark on reading Road Closed - Leigh Russell.

I'm in the middle of Alone In Berlin but I'm going to set it aside to start proof reading Darren's book of shorts.Going to tuck myself onto the couch and start right now, actually!

Really enjoyed that book if a little frightening. Don't forget to read the bios at the end, as they put a little more to the story.
Since my last visit here finished The Third Rule - Part One: AtrocitiesThe Third Rule - Part Two: Running Scared
The Third Rule - Part Three: Sacrifices
They were truly wonderful and unputdownable!
Took a break to ponder them then read The Illegal by A K Dawson in on sitting.Another terrific read from one of 'our authors'
Finished
Will write a review of it this w/eUnsure what to start reading next. Have a TBR pile, but actually need to rehearse for an hour long solo reading at the end of the month
Finished Peter May's The Lewis Man - although I thought the pace faltered a little half way through, the denouement more than made up for it. Beautifully written, and the recent history was expertly employed. Look forward to reading the third novel, The Chess Men, in due course. For now, think I will allow myself to delve into Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies as I'm into self indulgent mode at the moment.
Just finished the Illegal by AK Dawson - can't find it on here! It's a very good read. Just starting Food for Ghosts by Marianne Wheelaghan - again not on here.
Read and enjoyed Maureen goes to VeniceNow reading Rings of Smoke by Diane O'Toole,sorry no link available.This child abduction/murder story is pretty horrific.
My plan to read this month is:Road Closed - Leigh Russell
Silent Witness - Rebecca Forster
Chasing Amanda - Melissa Foster
Priced to Move - Ginny Aiken
Nightfall - Stephen Leather
Revelation - M.J. Mancini
The Trafficked - Lee Weeks
The Tiger's Wife - Téa Obreht
Finished Rings of Smoke by Diane O'Toole, certainly not for the faint hearted! One scene in particular shall remain with me for a long time to come,could do with the brain bleach!Read a cosy novella next in an attempt to reduce my blood pressure Temporarily Awaya nice 'cosy' murder, a bit like Miss Marple.

Mine was one year old last week, and was fine, and even went on planes, ferry's, coaches and jeeps last week.
I've read quite a lot this week. Finished Eerie Britain which started off boring, but then got better and sparked a couple of conversations off. Then started reading books by traditional authors I have never read, starting with Crooked Letter, Crooked LEtter, by Tom Franklin - not sure I would read any more of his
Then, The Secret Life of Ceecee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain, really enjoyed and would like to read more of hers
Then, Carved In Bone by Jefferson Bass, really enjoyed, would like to read more
Then, Field of Blood by Denise Mina, ditto
Just started Deal Breaker by Harlen Coben
Just finished Marianne Wheelaghan's new book - Food of Ghosts - which isn't on here.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0...
Really good, funny, quirky and very enjoyable. totally different from The Blue Suitcase!
Didn't get to start Hilary Mantel's Bring up the Bodies as I was lured intoThe Blood Detective instead as it's been gathering dust for a few weeks now and it needs moving! Bought it as a secondhand DTB as the kindle version was too expensive, so sorry Dan, no royalties there for you. Am enjoying it so far. Interesting characters.
I'm still on Unseen Academicals I'm so close to the end of the series it's doing my head in that I don't have the time to read this and get it finished. I'm over 50% through though so maybe in the next couple of days...
Just finished The Expats which was a change of genre for me as I am not into spy stories but this one was not bad. Now on TF Muir's second book Hand For A Hand set in St Andrews.
Just finished The Third Rule - Part One: Atrocities ,great story and have now started Part2 and bought Part3
It's the most splendid story I recall reading Kay - thoroughly well thought out and thought provoking but with really deep insights into human nature. I can't fault it.
I'm delighted you're enjoying it, Kay. It's comments like yours, and yours too, Ignite, that keep my fingers prodding the little square key things :)
Glad you're enjoying it Kay! I don't think anyone who reads part 1 will be able to resist parts 2&3!Just finished the Crowsmoor curse a paranormal romp with a touch of romance.I thought Jan was one of our authors but I can't seem to find her.
