Emma :-)

First of all, thank you Mersey for your nice welcome, and apologies that I haven't responded until now - I don't look in that often and am therefore just catching up with this thread now.

In answer to your question, I am both a book and kindle fan (very new to Kindle after stubbornly refusing it in favour of the beloved book, and pleasantly surprised to find there are free books from the A___ site, many of which I have downloaded).

I am now busy looking through this whole thread for all the recommendations and reviews that you lovely people have posted, in order that I can fill up my Kindle (sounds like a song!) in preparation for my next sojourn to the desert.

By the way, I have recently finished Longbourn and thoroughly enjoyed this Downton Abbey meets Upstairs Downstairs novel - a lovely story despite me being totally prejudiced towards anything whatsoever to do with P&P and the like :-)

Snap Ann. I'm getting Warpaint too. And I have a few books lined up waiting to be read. Just started on Engleby by Sebastian Faulks

Just won a copy of War paint so with the Greaders selections in a few days I am going to be busy reading!!

Have just downloaded That Woman by Anne Sebba.

Emma :-)

Finished Hothouse Flower and really enjoyed it. Have you read The Light behind the window also by Lucinda Riley Emma? another good book.

I loved Hot house Flowers, and I have just finished Spilt Milk, lovely story. can recommend Rachel Hore's books

I am three quarters of the way through the first book Mersey ever recommended on this thread. Hot House Flower by Lucinda Riley. An excellent book, I had it on my Kindle since Mersey recommended it but it got lost among the rest, really gripped by it.

Hi lovely people <3

Thanks Emms ive just downloaded that one thanks to your recommendation :-D <3

Finished War of The Cousins and enjoyed this one also by Doris Davidson,
the sequel to the one I read before.

Have just bought for my Kindle...Kick Her Again; She's Irish by Mary and Colin
O'Reilly....£1.19

Marie O'Reilly is outside screaming at the World, her children watch through the living room window as the Police come to arrest her for disturbing the peace,
leaving them alone in the house. Thus begins the astonishing true story of a
family always living on the brink of disaster. The story unfolds through the eyes
of her children.

Emma :-)

Saw Hilary being interviewed by Andrew Marr, she has her last two books adapted for the stage in two parts cannot recall who plays Thomas Cromwell....Ben ?(Googled) Miles, he was interviewed as well.Think it's been on since December.

She talked about her new book.......writing seems to flow from the woman's fingers effortlessly! *sighs*

I'm sure you will enjoy it BC. and I like Deborah Moggach so will look for that one. :-)

Bleddy woman needs a boot up the backside <3 :-D :-D

I know, Emma, she really is making us sweat! :-D :-D <3

BC have been searching for new Hilary Mantel latest
and come up with zilch :-( :-( :-) <3

Afternoon all :-) I really like the sound of that Season of Storms, Ann, and on my one memorable visit to Venice, I really loved the place, so will download, thanks.

I am reading Close Relations by Deborah Moggach and it has been quite absorbing. About a self-made builder called Gordon and his three daughters and their lives. When Gordon has a heart attack (no spoiler here, it was obvious from the start! lol) his life changes and he makes some choices which disrupt the whole family, especially his wife. Good read.
