Im in the middle of “confessions of a medium” by anonymous, maybe he was greek.I have to say at the moment that the horse under the author doesnt quite have the legs for the journey,but maybe it will pick up.
Maybe it got lost from Brighton Beach?! :lol:
Just finished ‘Plain Truth’ by Jodi Piccoult and highly recommend it. I have come to the conclusion that her books are deffo for fems! I hope to gradually acquire all of hers, however, I will read other books inbetween as they are very thought provoking……….so onto a complete girlie crap easy read now :lol:

i enjoyed jodi piccoult’s my sisters keeper and nineteen minutes but have read a couple others weren’t so good, i can’t remember the names of them they were that unmemorable lol, but i agree some of her work is good, i may have to look out plain truth.
Apparently they have made a film out of My Sister’s Keeper – will have to keep a look out for it on sky!
Which one are you ‘trying’ to reading Tinks?
Just finished reading ” home truths” by Freya North … It’s a great read …thoroughly enjoyed reading it …. Got another of hers to read next ” pillow talk “
Recently read ” the gift ” by Celia Ahern.
:)
What did you make of “The Gift” Pepsi?
Not sure whether to go for it or not, I’ve heard mixed reviews…@jen_jen wrote:

Not sure whether to go for it or not, I’ve heard mixed reviews…Hi Jen .. Well I loved it! It’s quite a fast paced story of a man and his approach to life . His Work and his family and about time and how he chooses to spend it and ultimately the regrets.. it sort of adds to the mystery. I won’t spoil the ending for those who would like to read it or are in process of reading it , but if anyone has read P.S I love you well this is a typical Ahern novel. It has that same kind of draw that carries you along as you try to fathom out what is going on … You start to guess what will happen and yes its a bit OTT but its a story not real life so its allowed to be kinda unbelievable. I did have few tears in the final pages as it’s quite soul searching towards the end ! I guess you either will love it or hate it ! My only criticism would be the Turkey Boy character .. I think it could have worked with just the two Garda discussing what had happened with each other rather than the story being told to the boy !
Happy reading. :D
Most of the books I read these days are only available on the Kindle so I don’t mention them here. However just finished reading “Breaking the Silence” by Diane Chamberlain. Laura makes a promise to her dying father to visit an elderly woman that she’d never heard of before, little realising the chain of events that she’ll trigger by keeping her promise. Likeable characters (on the whole) with enough twists to keep you guessing. I’ve read 2 of her books so far and like those, it’s a bit slow initially but builds nicely, painting a very rounded picture. There are several coincidences that might not always ring true but if you can accept those then it’s a good read and very enlightening about some of the psychiatric “research” practices in 1950s America. A bit of a schmaltzy ending though, but somehow it seemed to fit.
I just read World Without End by Ken Follett… its a massive read with 1237 pages. I loved it… its set in 1327 and follows the lives of four children takes you through prosperity famine plague and war… I couldn’t put it down….. but as I have said before I love historical reads.
Just started Sarah Waters … The Night Watch… having difficulty getting into it … will let you know what I thought….. if I make it to the end :D
