A very kind friend gave me the gift of an Amazon voucher to spend on books for whilst I'm waiting for baby / breastfeeding at my baby shower last night.
I would love to have some recommendations for things I can download to my kindle. I enjoy all sorts of books. Things I have particularly enjoyed are: The Farseer series by Robin Hobb, Game of Thrones, anything by Philippa Gregory. I recently read Edward Rutherfurd's London which I also enjoyed.
I also enjoy good books aimed at teens - loved the Hunger Games series, and recently read the Carnegie shortlist, of which my fave was Code Name Verity. Basically, I like a gripping plot, and likeable characters.
I've just read Dissolution, the first in a series about Matthew Shardlake. Lawyer working for Thomas Cromwell, investigating murder at a monastery. Really enjoyed it.
When I was up at night breastfeeding DS3 I read the whole Wallander series - I don't normally read crime novels but I stayed awake because I really wanted to find out what happened and was too tired to concentrate on anything more literary
Thank you valium, have downloaded a sample of that one.
Maillotjaune, I've read all of the Shardlakes, they are absolutely brilliant - loved them. In fact dh hid my kindle on one holiday as I wouldn't be parted from them!
Oooh, I might give Wallander a go in that case - kindles didn't exist the last time I was up all night breastfeeding, but can see how it'd be easier to read and feed with a kindle, so I'll give it a try
Yes, I have tumble, and found it a bit of a challenge to get through, although I did enjoy it. MIL has lent me Bringing Up the Bodies, which I might take on hols with me.
Try ' Emerald' by Rosemary Smith. Is aimed at young adults and over, great plot, lots if exciting stuff and some really quirky characters - won't say too much, will spoil the surprise!
