What are you reading right now?

Thank you BAnanas, that`s reassuring, but I`m not awfully keen on having to jump back and forth in time, but will persevere.

numberplease I read Into the Darkest Corner a while back and thought it was a real page turner once I'd got past the first few chapters. Do remember it jumped about between different time frames though but did get used to that after a while if I remember rightly. Elizabeth Haynes followed it up with a second book again set in the now and a few years before, but didn't think it was as good as the Darkest Corner

I loved The Shadows in the Streets, am now reading Into the Darkest Corner, by Elizabeth Haynes, only a few pages in, but it`s got me confused already. Each chapter is in a different year, dodging between 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007. It`ll probably settle down and become clearer, hope so anyway!

Just started Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. Although I enjoyed her Jackson Brodie books my favourite of hers will always be Behind the Scenes at the Museum which I loved. I'm hoping I will feel similarly about this book only 60 or so pages in, but liking it a lot so far.

The Shadows in the Streets, by Susan Hill.

I'm reading 'The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn,' by Colin Dexter.

Sel - Alice Munro writes excellent short stories.

I've just started to read Sir Terry Pratchett's recent novel Dodger (a Kindle copy) - not only are there many Dickensian references, but Charlie himself turns up as a character in Chapter 1!

As usual PTerry grabs your attention and holds on to it, with humour, with drama and with damn good writing -- as with Wodehouse it can be some time before you realise just how well crafted the book you're reading really is.

Every Dead Thing was great, loads of bodies, and quite gruesome, but I loved it! My next book, not started yet, will be Buried, by Mark Billingham.

laidback I've downloaded Harold Fry, I think I'll enjoy. I have read several Anne Tyler, very perceptive writer. Haven't read Gone Girl as it didn't appeal. Just finished 'It had to be you' - David Nobbs, he of Reggie Perrin fame. It made me laugh so much, I've now passed to OH as I thought he'd enjoy, it's contemporary and written from a male perspective.

Ian42 I just can't 'get into' short stories - except, when I was young, I read Edgar Allen Poe's. Still remember one where an insect got into someone's ear

I'm reading, The Price of Love; Short Stories, by Peter Robinson.

I've just started The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry and enjoying it very much.Next up The beginners goodbye written by Anne Tyler, I urge anyone to read Anne Tyler, she's brilliantly descriptive never a dud. Gone Girl, over written and over hyped!

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory, 1st book in her Wars of the Roses series, I am reading them slightly in the wrong order having read the Kingmaker's Daughter previously. I am going to have a break before I go on to the second book in the series, The Red Queen,as I have just acquired Kate Atkinson's Life After Life which I can't wait to read so that will be next and I also have The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry which I have heard is wonderful. So many books waiting to be read, I'm spoiled for choice!

Stalkers was really good, am lo0oking forward to the next in the series now, out in July, called Sacrifice. Haven`t started anything else yet, but have got Every Dead Thing, by John Connelly, sitting on the settee waiting for me.

I'm reading Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel, the follow up to Wolf Hall. I enjoyed Wolf Hall but you really have to concentrate with Mantel as you aren't always sure who is talking!

I love the Scandinavian thrillers, but would love an appendix in them telling me how to pronounce names and place names, I irritate myself trying to get my tongue around the names!

For any other Swedish murder mystery fans, "The Asylum" by Johan Theorin is unputdownable ! But why does every Swedish detective novel have some reference to Steig Larson on the front? There are so many great Swedish detective novels much better than "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Any other Scandanavian Noir fans out there? Any suggestions? Camilla Lackberg, Mons Kallentoft and Yrsa Siggourdordottir? Is it only me?

The Storyteller, by Jodi Picoult. enjoying it so far x

Just about to start this Freebie arrived today. Thanks GN.

Just finished "dear lupin - letters to a wayward son". It was so good. What a legacy to leave to your son. They were funny, sad and written by a very eccentric man!

I finished it, was determined to, but it just didn`t grab me, not the way I like to be grabbed anyway!

Nor me. Couldn't get into it! Gave up.

Didn`t care much for Gone Girl.

The Way of all Flesh - finding it a bit heavy going but will finish it

Gone Girl

The Cat's Table

Lost River was very good, am now just starting on Stalkers, by Paul Finch, who apparently wrote quite a lot for The Bill.
