books

Have just finished 'This House is Haunted' by John Boyne who wrote The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. It's totally different taking place in the 19th century. Couldn't put it down. I admire an author who can change his style if writing.

Sparkygran, so pleased you are enjoying 'Sacrifice' it was good to the very last page.

Goldengirl I will try your John Boyne book sounds my cup of tea.

I love the Sarah Waters books they are very atmospheric even though I skip the lesbian bits as they are not for me, no offence to gay people. 'Affinity' was my favourite set in Victorian times.

It's great we can use each other to find out about good page turners.

NanKate wow that was one good book - Sacrifice - couldn`t put it down. It`s not often I get such a feeling of suspense with novels but Sacrifice certainly had plenty of it.

Sparkygran it was a cracker wasn't it?

Just found another of Sharon Bolton's books 'Like this for ever' in our local charity shop. I will report back if that is as good as 'Sacrifice'.

Eyes down for a good read.

Look forward to your critique NanKate. I`m starting on a Phillipa Gregory called "The Kingmaker`s Daughter". I like Gregory`s books

I like the idea of a glass of with my literature Sparkygran.

NanKate, I read Like This Forever a few weeks ago, I think you`ll like it, it`s a bit different to Sharon Bolton`s usual style. I`ve just finished two books back to back by Michael Connelly, The Poet, and The Narrows. They are 8 years apart n the writing, but deal with the hunt for the same killer, and they`re both very good.

Thanks Numberplease I always like to have good book recommendations and it looks as if we like similar storylines.
