Hi Fellow Readers,
my, what a long thread. I think that I will reread a lot of it, so that I can check recommenations.

At the moment I am reading "The Sinapore Grip" by J.G. Farrell.

So far it has been a real eyeopener.

It starts in Singapore just before the Japanese invasion in the Second World War: the Blackett family's prosperous world of tennis parties, cocktails and deferential servants seems unchanging. But it is poised on the edge of the abyss.... This is the eve of the Fall of Singapore.....

I learnt of this book as it was suggested on Ann's GReaders Thread.

Haven't finished it yet, but would recommend it on what I have read so far.


Tess

i am reading PURE EVIL by Mauren Harvey
its a true story about Tracie Anderews

who killed Mureens son Lee

Has Tracie Andrews come out of prison or did I hear that she is now elligible (spl) for parole?

I think that there was something in the news about her a few months ago ... I just can't remember what. Perhaps I need to Google.

Hi JoysyWoysy....I have read them all !!!! :-D love em <3... I want more so hurry up lol.......XX

Tess Tracy Andrews was released last year me thinks........ :-)

Thanks Mersey, Googled after I posted and found that she is out of prison, came out about a year ago.

Half way through "Among the Hoodies" Harriet Sergeant:) very very good, worth a read, makes you realise that some of these hoodies are not ALL BAD:))

Have just bought the trilogy Dark Material by Phillip Pullman .....l gave my other set away, never again, love these books and can't wait to read them for the 3rd time:)

i have more true murder books and local history than the library

JBA Im abit of a scaredy cat dont like murders or scarey things lol my Sis is the total opposite.....shes like you she has so many and she can tell you where each one is and what there about.......

I have read the "Dark Material" by Phillip Pullman. Think that I've given them to my eldest grandson.

As you say Jude, well worth reading again. I'll have to think about getting another set.

I am now reading "The Curiosity Cabinet" by Catherine Czerkawska

I was told about this book by a friend and have to say I wasnt too sure, but from the first page ive been hooked... Set in Scotland history, mystery, and romance all wrapped up into one.....a lovley, lovley book....

Thankyou Mary, you were so right :-) <3

just want to say
I HAVE NEVER READ FIFTY SHADES OF GREY
seams everybody else has


you mucky mares ;-) ;-)

I read it Joy and I got bored (honest) :-| :-S

everywhere i go people are raving about it
my friend jo asked me if i wanted hers


i said nope i have my own dirty mind thanks lol ;-) ;-)

mersey you rudie dudie ;-) ;-)

;-) :-D

Another one who has never read 50 shades of grey. And who doesn't intend to. From reviews I have seen it is a badly written boring book. The author has made loads of money by writing a salacious book that has become popular, possibly with an increase in sales by people who read about it on the internet. Possibly people who never normally read. So is it a good thing that people who don't normally read are at least reading something????

i am with you on that one Ann


i would of fainted twice if you had read it :-D :-D

Noticed The King Makers Daughter (Cousins War 4)
by Philippa Gregory is £9.99 Kindle.

Emma

Lol Joy.

Emma that is expensive for Kindle isn't it?

Bit too rich for me Ann, so will wait till it comes down in
price. I have two others that I want that are slowly but surely coming
down in price and can't/won't read the books that come before them
till I have the pair.
