What are you reading.

Just read nonstop Last Friends by Jane Gardam. It was like fitting in the last jigsaw pieces. I love her books. I started getting the children's books for my children and on the principle of never giving them something to read you wouldn't read your self I've been a fan for ages. She's 85. I hope she has a few more books in her. Such a relief when favourite authors produce another book.

I read Life after Life and loved it, I do like Kate Atkinson's books particularly her Jackson Brodie novels. Life after Life was a bit different it reminded me of Time Travellers Wife a bit.

I have to admit being lured by the Telegraph's cut price offer of Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. I didn't really expect to get immersed in it - but I just had to keep on reading, if only to find out what happened with each iteration of Ursula's life. It is not a challenging read but very enjoyable so far (up to page 519.)

Mollie, I`ve just finished reading Never Saw it Coming, by Linwood Barclay, and read the first bit of A Tap on the Window at the end of it, must get it.

Really enjoying my copy of The Mouseproof Kitchen. As number has commented, the author has a daughter who has severe cerebral palsy. So far (a third of my way through the book), I find it really quite sensitively written.

A Tap on the Window by Linwood Barclay - have liked all his so far and although I only started this one last night I'm already drawn into it.

I've been reading the Abbess of Meaux series by Cassandra Claire and although they aren't exactly Hilary Mantell, they are fairly atmospheric and give a taste of medieval life during the Peasants Revolt.

I`ve just started The Mouseproof Kitchen, not very far into it, but seems OK so far. And actually Aka, the author does have a daughter, with severe cerebral palsy, which must give her some insight into caring for a disabled child.

I picked up a book at my daughter in laws. Worst load of rubbish only read the first page.Something like Toffs & Towers. Turned out my daughter in law was using it to show her writing class how not to write. She said it was useful for the class to see. I am reading The Chimp Paradox heavy stuff.

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

I love Quintin Jardine's books about Bob Skinner et al who start off as lowly pcs in Edinburgh and work their way up the ranks to the highest level. This is another set of books which should be read in sequence. A good thriller.

I have just finished "Unexpected Lessons in Love" by Bernadine Bishop, a lovely book which I really enjoyed. I look through the weekend papers, make a note of books I think might be my cup of tea and reserve them on line with the library. Works a treat, and I have read all kinds of books I would never have come across any other way.

I have kept a favourite book for years.Its called The Pirate, by Harold Robbins.Great story.

I read a really good book last year called Alexander and Tatiana by Paulina Simmons (I think that was her name).Couldn't put it down.
Then I managed to get hold of a couple more of her books, following on from the first. Couldn't put them down either! Brilliant.
Books by Douglas Kennedy are great, as well.

Just about to start Flora and Grace by Maureen Lee.

I have read a good few of the books mentioned and jotting down those I am interested in. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a book I will read again.

Meant to say the other day that I`ve received my copy of The Mouseproof Kitchen, thank you GN, but haven`t started reading it yet, looking forward to it though.

Reading Eloise by Judy Finnegan on my Kindle. Thought that her experience with Richard and Judy Book Club would have helped her to write a better book.

Like trendygran I've been reading The Rosie Project. Finished it today with a silly grin on my face. Entertaining amusing and thought provoking too.

Just read and loved The Night Guest by Fiona McFarlane. A great read particularly relevant to Gransnetters but could be a bit scary / unsettling. I shall be passing it on and recommending to my Book Club friends.

I just started the Costa book winner The Shock of the Fakk by Nathan Filer. I downloaded the sample on kindle and couldn't stop reading it so had to buy it. The narrator is in a mental institution amid writing about his childhood. The writing is deceptively simple. A few friends will be receiving it for birthday presents this year.

Reading "Wake" by Anna Hope; she seemed to be on all radio stations yesterday promoting it. Set in 1920 when the Unknown Warrior's body is being brought back it looks at the lives of three different women as one era is fading and a new one beginning. Half way through and it is distracting me from other things as I want to see where she will lead us.

I`m about halfway through The Midnight Rose, and surprised to find that I`m really liking it.

just read Martina coles, Faceless. I couldn't put it down.

I`ve just finished Daddy`s Gone A Hunting, by Mary Higgins Clark, very good, really enjoyed it. My next book will be The Midnight Rose, by Lucinda Riley. A different sort of read for me, but it was one of Smith`s books of the week at half price, so thought I`d give it a go. It`s set between 1911 and the present, and divided between India and English stately homes.

Just started reading 'The Rosie Project' by Graham Simsion. Excellent so far and an insight into the world of Aspergers adults . Not too serious and very well written.

A 1950s Housewife, by Sheila Hardy. I thought I would see what my mother had to put up with, as she married in 1955. It's a very good book, but much of what is written was still going on into the 70s, so I could relate to it. It brought/is bringing back a lot of small and forgotten memories. The electricity showrooms in every town, for one.
