I'm starting Road of Bones by Christopher Golden.

Currently reading “Stories for Ukraine” - collection of short stories donated by various authors to raise money for Ukraine. Really enjoying it.

Wintering by Katherine May. what a wonderful book and perfect for a cold rainy weekend when my chronic condition is flaring and I need to make myself rest

Scout2016 · 07/01/2023 21:32

Bah, Little Boy Lost even!

Scout2016 · 07/01/2023 21:31

@Wildernesstips I've just finished Little Lost Boy, be interested to hear what you think.

I'm reading two at the moment. A book club book I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day by Milly Johnson. It's OK, not great, and full of cliches.
My other book is The King's Curse by Philippa Gregory.

@GracePooleslaugh have you read the "sequel" to GWTW? Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. I couldn't put it down. And judging from your nickname I guess you are a Jane Eyre fan. Have you read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys? It is the "prequel" to Jane Eyre.

Hi! No I haven't read the GWTW sequel but sounds like I need to!

I am indeed a huge Jane Eyre fan, I read it every year and have read Wide Sargasso Sea as well. I enjoyed it and thought it added another dimension although I give Mr R the benefit of the doubt because he's funny!

RoseMartha · 07/01/2023 14:30

@Bbq1 That is good to know, I will find another one if hers to read later on. Ty

Pure by Andrew Miller.

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 07/01/2023 13:46

A thriller I picked up in a charity shop - It Ends at Midnight, by Harriet Tyce.

TidyupNowplease · 07/01/2023 13:43

The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett. I enjoyed her first book The Appeal.

Xiaoxiong · 07/01/2023 09:33

Finishing up Danubia by Simon Winder. Haven't laughed so much in ages, definitely going to read his other books next.

Iguessyourestuckwithme · 07/01/2023 09:32

Men who hate women by Laura Bates

A very interesting read about incels, male terrrorism and other misogyny

NooNakedJacuzziness · 07/01/2023 09:31

Unsettled Ground by Claire Fuller - it's about two middle-aged twins on the edge of society struggling to cope after their mothers death. It's pretty good so far. Got a pile of books for Christmas to look forward to!

@Bbq1
It is quite compelling I am finding, I am just over half way.

Have you read any others by the same author? I stumbled across this book at a second hand charity book stall, and thought it looked a bit different.

Yes @RoseMartha I've also read The Vanishing Of Audrey Wilde and The Birdcage by Eve Chase. I'd really recommend them both especially The Birdcage. The Glasshouse is my favourite of the three. I really enjoy the multi layered characters she creates and the atmosphere created within the novels. I'm due to read her fourth, Black Rabbit Hall.

DuncanBiscuits · 07/01/2023 09:28

The Hollows by Daniel Church. Very wintry and spooky.

Girlintheframe · 07/01/2023 09:25

Im also reading American dirts. Half way through and really enjoying it.

The Green Mile, Stephen King. I saw the excellent film but hadn't realized until now that it's a book.

This Must be the Place by Maggie O'Farrell. It's on the kindle deals.

BenoitBlanc · 07/01/2023 00:07

I'm racing to finish The Book Thief.

I've got two others out from the library, due back at the end of Jan and I'm not going to have time to read them. And one has other holds on so I can't renew! AND I've got two MORE sitting on the hold shelf waiting for me to collect. Library book holds are like buses it seems - nothing for ages and then they all come at once!

I'm reading Paper Dolls by Alex Smith suggested by JD Kirk when he popped onto a thread.

@hiredandsqueak read the rest in order, I loved the series.

Reading - The School For Good Mothers.

Listening (Audible) - Once Upon A River

I loved Once Upon a River! Took a bit of getting into (I read it not listened) but it stayed with me!

How's The School for Good Mother's? A friend has lent this to me and said it was unsettling.

highlandcoo · 06/01/2023 23:33

The Family Chao by Lan Samantha Chang. It was a Christmas present.

Almost 100 pages in and I'm still waiting for it to grab me but I think I'm just not concentrating very well at the moment.
