What are you reading now?

I`ve just finished Flora and Grace, by Maureen Lee, wasn`t sure about it at first, but ended up really liking it. I`m now reading The Tenderness of Wolves, by Stef Penney, but have only read a couple of chapters so far. It`s set in the backwoods of Canada in 1867, and begins with a wolf trapper being found brutally murdered in his log cabin.

I've just finished. human Remains by Elizabeth Haynes. It's the second of her books that I've read and will be reading her other books too. A fabulous read x

Thanks numberplease - I will look out for those

JOJOJO, Maureen Lee, Annie Groves and Katie Flynn write books, and there are lots of them, set in and around Liverpool, mostly during WW2.

I like Karen Rose too. I recommend Kate Charles and Jennifer Weiner. Interesting to hear about the Ian Rankin books being set in Edinburgh, I will try them. Does anybody know of any books set in Liverpool? I grew up there and would love to read some novels set there

Worlass, Sue Grafton has recently released 'X'. I've read all her other books and got 'X' from the library. I started it but just couldn't get into it and reviewers on Amazon are saying the same. I may have another go at it but life's too short and there are so many more books out there to be read!

I have just finished 'Moving' _ took a while to get into it, but it was worth persevering.

Thanks chicken, I'd forgotten about A J Cronin, used to love those books. Must find and read again.

Have been rereading some old favourites---lots by Norah Lofts especially the trilogy, The House at Old Vine, The Town House and The House at Sunset. They really bring history to life because they are about ordinary people not the kings and queens. Also reread Hatter's Castle by A.J.Cronin which made a huge impression on me when I was a teenager. I was a bit apprehensive about revisiting this one in case my memory of it was wrong, but no, it still grabbed me and stayed with me for days afterwards.

Just about to start Moving, Jenny Eclair, will come back and give a review.

Over the break I've been having fun adding all these recommendations to my ereader iq list, so if price drops on any, I'll be notified.

I was also lucky to get a Amazon gift card, so have been enjoying choosing some new books.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Can never have too many books! (well kindle ones anyway)

Sorry. Nemirovsky. I was mis-remembering. It's the Fires of Autumn, following publication of her Suite Francaise, which I preferred.

I bought the latest Bill Bryson for DH, hope he hurries up and reads it as I want to read it next!!

Rosequartz - hope you enjoy the French House - they are just light reading though. Actually I think his last The Photographers Wife, and The Other Son, are his best.

Oh I didn't know about the latest Bill Bryson heneta. Nor, mamie, about David Lodge's autobiography. I've read all his books and have laughed my way through each one, so that's a definite future acquisition. I may have to cheat and reach up to put it on the top of the pile. Currently reading Irene Naberovsky ?sp - but could do with a laugh so Bill and David it is. I swore not to buy any more books for a while, but I'm weak. Anyway I don't make New Year Resolutions any more.

"The Road to Little Dribbling" by Bill Bryson. It's wonderful, informative, funny, beautiful.... Highly recommended.

Just finished reading The Nightingale on my kindle. Brilliant! You might need a tissue!

Just about to start 'Career of Evil' ( JK Rowling as Robert Galbrieth) -I enjoyed the first two of the series so hope this one is as good. Then 'The White Road' by the same author as 'The hare with amber eyes' which was a Christmas present from DS.

I,too , have Lamentation in my pile. Really enjoyed all the others in the series . Also received the latest Marciia Willett for Christmas, Summer on the River.
Recently a friend recommended Elizabeth Noble and have really enjoyed her books particularly "Thngs I want my daughters to know" and "The reading group" Am working through hers from the library .
Grayduster brought back memories with 'lady of Hay" I read it years ago and loved it and coincidently I was given "the darkest hour" by Barbara erskine
last autumn and really enjoy it.
I read a lot on kindle and these have been some of my favourites
The Dandelion Years by Erica James. Almost finished it oh dear.
Most of Elizabeth Edmondons books specially A man of some Repute
Mrs Sinclair s Suitcase by Louise Walters
Flowers of the field by Sarah Harrison ( first of a triology much loved years ago. I was really excited to discover the third book which I had not read)
Amy Snow by Tracey Rees. A real kindle 99p bargain !
Then there's Elizabeth Buchan....
The moon field by Judith Allnatt
I could go on and on.. I didn't get on with "gone girl" or "Girl on a train" Thanks for the recommendations everyone will be
Having a look at them on Amazon!
Happy New Year everyone

Just finished Tyler's 'A Spool of Blue Thread' JamJar1 and loved it - did you? have you read her "Breathing Lessons"? I really liked that, too.

I am reading David Lodge's autobiography "Quite a Good Time to Be Born", which was one of my Christmas presents. It is excellent, but then he is one of my favourite authors (Changing Places, Nice Work, Therapy etc). Thoroughly recommended.

I've just got into the "fantasy" genre buy specifically Laini Taylor of "Daughter of Smoke & bone"
Never thought of reading something like this but I do

I have been passed a large bag of books, also download free or cheap ones on to my Kindle - it does limit what I read but it can be very interesting, an eclectic mix!
I had read some of Jojo Moyes' books a while ago - Ship of Brides and Silver Bay but none for a while until The One Plus One, which I am enjoying.

Like to sit and do a jigsaw and listen to a story at the same time.
that's very clever!

Only just discovered JoJo Moyes. Thought they were chick lit so didn't bother for ages and then read Me Before You. It was so good that I am working my way through all her books now. I do listen to quite a lot on my iPod too if I can't sleep. I get the media ticket from the library and for £35 per year I can borrow as many audio books, dvds as I want. Really good value. Like to sit and do a jigsaw and listen to a story at the same time.
Just realised I had typed borrow as many dads rather than dads so had to correct quickly!!

I have had The French House by Nick Alexander downloaded onto my Kindle for a couple of years now, but not read it. Perhaps I should give it a go, seacliffe? Perhaps best not to read the reviews first

Just finished A Child in the Forest by Winifred Foley and now I am reading The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes - having read a whole lot of books set in the Australian Outback, I am now back in the UK!
