Funny you should mention Alison Weir Cooper as I'm reading one of hers at the moment. *The Innocent Traitor* ..it's all about Lady Jane Grey...i'm about mid way through and really enjoying it..but I've yet to read a book by her that I haven't lovedxx

Hi Hazel all 3 books are unknown to me. The library used to be my haunt when I lived in the UK alas no more.

Ken Follet I have read most of his and I do like him.

Rose I tend not to read autobigraphries although you do make hers sound good. I will jot it down so OH can look for it.

Lizz not one I know either. so hopefully when you have read it you will come back and tell us what you thought of it.

I tend to get all my books at carboots which have now been stopped around here, or from the english shops that do swops (we have 2) the trouble is at this time of year there are very few English swopping them. I also get left with everybodies books at the end of the winter season. Not long ago we came home from walking the mutts to find a large carrier bag of about 15books dropped over our fence ?? Dunno from who but thankyou to them.

I have got desperate and read Martin Cruz Smith 'Red Square' it's a double book issue and I really can't get my head around reading Gypsy in Amber lolol not my type of book at all.

I got 3 books from the library

The Fabric Of Sin by Phil Rickman

the other one is
Angels In The Gloom by Anne Perry
which i'm reading now
and the 3rd book is
The Tenth Chamber by Glen Cooper

Just been given "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks its the book of the film.........cann`t tell you any thing about it as i haven`t started it yet.................
or seen the film.

I have almost finished "Just me" by actress Sheila Hancock, interesting in part because of her appearance on WDYTYA which is mentioned, but mostly because she is a strong woman who has faced losing the one she loved and in this book talks very honestly about trying to 'move on', being older and 'alone'. It's not at all self pitying, just self-aware, and tempers her sadness, with a great deal of humour and empathy with others.

Rare for me to read a book in two nights these days, but it bowled along so well i couldn't put it down :))

I am reading Hanged at Birmingham by Steve Fielding.

He has also written Hanged at ... Durham; Pentonville; Liverpool; Manchester; and Leeds.
A series of factual books, telling us a little about the crimes. A real Social History document. We also get to learn a little about the Hangman involved in the executions.

I have just got three books from my local charity shop (three for a pound).
Losing You by Nicci French

Rocco by Adriana Trigiani

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Shelia not one I know so wouldn't think of any suggestions for you.

Have just finished 'Wolf Hall', the Booker prize winner by Hilary Mantel. Enjoyed it very much - don't know what to read next!

I am reading

Mary Tudor..Engands first Queen by Anna Whitelock.
It is based on Historical fact and a good read.

Alison Weir writes very good books about the Tudors as well

To be honest he has only written this book due to his father being one of the SOE agents...........
