    I was lent a book, which I enjoyed (put down the girly crappy one, to be reinstalled as you don’t need a particularly good memory to work out what is going on – ah, bliss sometimes!) called ‘The Woodcutter’ by Reginald Hill – the beginning is a bit ‘odd’ and I would have put it down if it hadn’t been the fact that it was recommened, which I highly do – good read! Again a who dunnit, did he, didn’t he, keeps you turning those pages!!

    Also, this book is part of a book group called bookcrossing.com – quite interesting – if you get given a book with this sticker on it, you put the ID of the book into the website and imput your views on it, and see others’, and also where it has been – anyone else come across this? I would join, but I like keeping the books I read! As I have said, I buy my books from a stall in the local market, but I have told my friends if they see a book with my name in it, it means it is crap and not to buy it! lol

    The Third Victim
    Lisa Gardner
    Fairly run of the mill but good book, from a less known author, i think, but i’ve read a couple of hers now, nice easy reading, but interesting page turners.

    Has anyone read the IN Death series by JD Robb? a series of detective stories set in the near future. I love them because of the way the characters develp throughout the series. I enjoy the Falco novels by Lindsay Davies for the same reason. I also like them because i enjoy stories set in different times.

    Another enjoyable series is the Sister Fidelma novels set in ancient Ireland. The depth of knowledge of the laws of those times is fascinating.

    Read a book called:

    Before I go to Sleep

    Wow.

    Definitely worth the hype it has created (in my humblest of opinions!)

    Shadows On The Mirror by Frances Fyflield – again lent to me, if not, I would have put it down – I do NOT recommend her, and will deffo NOT buy another/attempt to one! Says she has joined the ranks of PD James and Ruth Rendell – I don’t think so!!!!!!!!! :?

    The Inspector and Silence – Hakan Nesser – similar style as Steig Larsson, but with a sense of humour – brilliant!
