Have just discovered her...am currently reading The Goldfinch

I have some catching up to do, methinks...

That would be because she is reading it on a Kindle Smile

I've just started this. It was half price in waterstones so thought I would give it a shot. Only a little way in though.

I'm about a quarter of the way through the Goldfinch too. Don't read nearly as much as I should (she says, watching Newsnight)

I've just started the goldfinch too. I'm really enjoying it so far (although I'm not very far in yet)

Ooooooh The Secret History, one of the best books I've ever read apart from Twilight

I jest Grin

I shall stick The Goldfinch on my special December winterfestivalgiftlist!

I am fairly sure I tried The Little Friend some years ago and thought meh so never tried again

There was bugger all at the library this week...so got The Goldfinch and am about a quarter way through. It is fantastic. These sunny evenings are perfect for sitting in the garden with a book and a glass of Wine

Oh my word...I am really quite jealous Grin

To think that you've got The Secret History to look forward to - it is just fantastic (The Little Friend, not so fantastic IMO)

Haven't managed to even start The Goldfinch yet as I'm scared it won't live up to Secret History standards (harsh, I know)

You lucky person, enjoy!
