What are you reading?

I've just finished One Day. Haven't seen the film yet but the book was really good. Characters were really believable and plenty of funny moments and sad moments. Easy to read and easy to get in to.

Koolmami, I just read One day too! I haven't read this thread but before one j really enjoyed both Sister and Afterwards, sorry can't remember author's name but they're both current and were really gripping.

Koolmami have bumped "What are you reading right now" on Adult Fiction thread as there are lots of ideas on there!

My suggestion would be The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, there is a thread on Adult Fiction on this book.

I've just finished One Day by David Nicholls and really enjoyed it. It's the first book I've read very fast but at the same time I didn't want to finish it cos the story was going to end. Now I am bookless and need a recommendation. Any suggestions?

I am reading You by Joanna Briscoe... it is haunting...

Never let me go- hard going in some parts but a good story

engleby by sebastian faulks, had it for couple of years and for some reason couldn't face it but now cannot put it down.. It is BRILLIANT

just finished Bitter sweets by roopa farooda (I think already lent it out) and that was fab, fast enjoyable read. Before that was The Slap (am off after op so needing lots to read!)

Kite runner..amazing one!

Just started Don't sweat the small stuff by Richard Carlson, no doubt once I've finished it I will be a master of Zen

Hi Im just finished reading The House Of Night series By P.C and Kristen Cast. There are 8 books in the series and they are all brill. Very gripping and you can't turn the pages fast enough. Each book leads onto the next. I would definatley reccommend this read x :)

i needed something to aim for with my reading and found a BBC 100 books you should read (or something along that nature) So although i've read a hand ful there were loads on there i haven't. So at the moment i'm reading Lord of the Flies.

Hey RO45. So glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty great too. I could do with a really good read now... since the missing BF my choices haven't been so successful :-(

Wow! Thanks so much for suggesting The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend Jo. It wasn't actually free, but well worth £1.50. Perfect weekend spent in front of the fire with CC and her crazy friends. So rare to find someone you really care about in fiction. I quite miss her now :-( Hum, what next?

Just started the case of the missing boyfriend by nick alexander. Chic lit by a man! Really good so far.

I'm trying to read, "One Of our Thursdays is missing" but not, I must admit, getting on with it very well...

I read The Help in the summer and loved it.

Just read 'The Help' by katherine Stockett, great book about black maids working for white families. Really enjoyed it.

I am reading The Book of Negroes , can't remember the author.
Brilliant book.

I'm Reading dorothy koomson's new book the woman he loved before, is anyone else?

Eat, Pray, Love is on my shelf but haven't got to it yet.

Finished When Will There Be Good News, really enjoyed it, a proper page turner.

Have been on hols and despite 3DC managed to polish of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (would love to hear what anyone else thought of this).

And am now reading The Family by Martina Cole.

Haven't started The Slap for MN book club so need to get my skates on!

Hi, hope you don't mind me joining the thread??

Has anyone read Eat, Pray, Love? I read it over Christmas and absolutely loved it. So beautifully written and really amusing. (Although I'm at a bit of a 'want to run away for a year' stage in my life so that may have coloured my opinion!

Have moved onto her second book 'Commited' and it's just as good, a great take on marriage and it's history (while still interesting). I've actually recommended it to a few newly wed friends, as well as some newly divorced friends, as it's such an honest and grounded take on marriage.

Anyway, apologies for my train of thought, I have no one to discuss these with in rl at the mo so thought I'd share here!!

When will there be good news' is fab - some great descriptions in there...
Just finsihed Jar City (Icelandic crime novel - on my Nordic kick at the moment)
and have on the go 'The Windup Girl' - SciFi, 'After the Flood' (Atwood), The Forty Rules of Love (which I REALLY must finish) and mexican Food made Simple (do cookery books count? I drive dp mad by reading out the titles in bed!)

I am reading Room by Emma Donoghue, The Help by Kathryn Stockett and The Bolyen Inheritance by Philippa Gregory.

Although I have lost Room in my shit tip of a bedroom. Someone has moved it/tidied it away and it was just getting good.

Have finished giggling at childish names and started When will there be good news by Kate Atkinson.

Grabbed me from the beginning but did find the first few pages disturbing.
