What are you reading.

This made me cry 'This Fragile Life' by Kate Hewitt

I`ve read all the Sue Grafton books, not got around to W yet, but will soon. It is better to start with A though.

Will give that a tryTegan I do have a copy which was passed onto me and as yet have not read.

I'm glad you felt that, Bez [I felt the same]. I think you might like A Thousand Splendid Suns More. Although very similar, I found it more of a 'complete' book [if that makes sense].

The last letter I have is V for Vengence .
I tend to pick them up from charity shops --just a bit of fun !

I have just finished ' And the Mountains Echoed' by Khaled Hosseni - the first book of his I have read although I saw the Kite Runner. I must say I was disappointed as I felt it was very disjointed and finished abruptly - I knew more about some minor characters than was necessary and not enough about the main ones.
I have just started the Jan book club choice which is Madame Bovary by Flaubert.

the 'w for wasted' is the recent release - reserved from the library
agree start at A if you can then you understand not only Kinsey and her way of life but the other characters that feature in the stories. - like her Landlord (and his family) and the woman who owns the bar and sundry policemen.
think she is in her 60s now so hope she will complete to Z

I read Sue Grafton also , have them all except about the last three letters .
Wonder if she did write those ?
I do find though, it is better to read them alphabetically as although they are each a story in their own right . They have several of the main characters and their lives , running through them ie the woman who runs the bar !

The Atholl Expedition by Alex Roddie.

Love Sue Grafton Mollie but haven't got round to Wasted yet.

I'm reading All the colours of darkness by Peter Robinson, enjoying it so far but know there must be a nasty twist in it soon.

I have just finished reading the latest Phil Rickman book ' the magus of Hay' (borrowed from the library) - one of his Merrily Watkins series. I don't think it is as good as his previous books in the series - which if you like crime and psychic phenomenon do give them a try. Of course because I live in the border Herefordshire country he describes so eloquently I probably get more out of the books
I have also just finished the latest Sue Grafton book 'w is for wasted' from her alphabet series - although about an American PI she is so well characterised and the writing is excellent. (there is a book for each letter of the alphabet - should really start with the first)

I`ve just finished The Winter Folly, by Lulu Taylor, and loved it, bought it as half price book of the week at Smiths. Would recommend it. Have just started Caedmon`s Song, by Peter Robinson, not quite his usual offering methinks, but will probably be OK.
