I picked up three books in a charity shop today for when I finish the current read, the one on the go at the mo is good but I can't remember the title or author and it is upstairs so can't get it to check without disturbing o.h.
Love my books.

Sebastian Faulks book Human Traces. In depth book about pioneering psychiatrists. Just read "Birdsong" by same author, a must for researchers of WWI. I read The Secret Garden a few weeks ago, but I was abit bored with it to be honest. I also enjoy Peter James and John Grisham.

At the moment I am reading "Chart Throb" by Ben Elton . . . . had 7 books in total for Christmas and my birthday so, I have loads to be going on with x x

most definatly deana
she was a vile and disgusting woman

but he pulled through brilliant and what a lovey man he is today

at the moment reading "Secrets in Prior's Ford" by Eve Houston - set in Kirkudbrightshire - lovely story, not too taxing.

Love anything by Bill Bryson - particularly liked one his latest - "Life and times of the Thunderbolt Kid" - hysterical.

All Alexander McCall Smith books on the No: 1 Ladies Detective Agency - these are all set in Botswana and are delightful stories.

If you've never read books by Deirdre Purcell I suggest to start with "Falling for a Dancer" - one of the few books I practically read in one go and there are a number of sequels to it.

Also R E Delderfield's books are great reading. He wrote "To serve them all our days" which was televised many years ago. Two of his lighter books well worth a read are "Cheap Day Return" and "Come Home Charlie and Face them".

yes deanna , lots of nasty things come to mind granny, hope your dad enjoying book ros x

Oh Kitty I fancy that one..... I'm off before I start buying books.... I'm a lost cause when it comes to books.

See you all tomorrow.

I read Dave Pelzer's books a few years back.
The first second and third.....how that woman could get away with the way she treated those children... especially him... I will never understand.
THEN he goes and tries to treat her like a mother???

I would have had really different plans for her, wouldn't you Stray?
