Omg you are a STAR!

That's another book in my kindle pile Grin

Almost finished this. Am completely engrossed. Donna Tartt's writing is breathtaking.

Oh bollocks. Just spent £14.99 on the hardback. And I fell asleep reading it last night and it fell on my face and hurt my nose. Kindle always do this to me. They're taking the piss.

I bought it the other day (DP bought me the hardback for Christmas but it's too heavy!) on kindle.

I'm well over halfway through and absolutely loving it. Agree that Donna Tartt is a beautiful writer. Even though I didn't finish The Little Friend .

The Little Friend is one of my favourite books ever, just loved the tense, close atmosphere she builds up slowly to the disturbing climax. And Harriet was such a cool protagonist - all fierce and brave and scabby-kneed.. It definitely seems to be a love/hate book though.

SweetestThing · 03/01/2014 22:30

I couldn't get into The Little Friend but loved, loved, loved A Secret History. Apparently Goldfinch is better than The Little Friend, so I am looking forward to reading it :)

Thanks for that- now downloaded.

Loved the Secret History which I read years and years ago and was wondering about Goldfinch. Can't wait to read it.

Loveleopardprint · 03/01/2014 22:36

Thank you. Just downloaded and told the rest of my book group. Grin

LackaDAISYcal · 03/01/2014 22:38

Ooooh, thanks muchly :)

BunnyLebowski · 03/01/2014 22:38

I just couldn't get into it (The Little Friend).

That was when it first came out though so I might give it another whirl.

The Secret History is in my top 5 favourite books of all time. Amazing.

CooEeeEldridge · 03/01/2014 22:39

OOH! Thanks so much!!!!!

SweetestThing · 03/01/2014 22:41

Glad to have been of service, ladies. I had actually gone on to Amazon to look at sports bras, so if anyone has a recommendation for a sports bra that will hold my 32DDs in place while running, please share :)

i preferred The Little Friend to Secret History - looking forward to the Goldfinch.

BaconAndAvocado · 03/01/2014 23:07

What a bargain, thanks!

Can't wait to read it.

NoSnowJustSand · 04/01/2014 03:08

Thanks for the tip ~ wondered why this book was cropping up in everyone's goodreads newsfeed!

mynameisnotmichaelcaine · 04/01/2014 05:39

Thank you :)

DuchessofMalfi · 04/01/2014 06:15

Sweetest - try Figleaves.com for sports bras. They are much better - you can narrow down requirements and they come up with recommendations. Am much much bigger than you Blush and found a good one on there - Shock Absorber.

Kveta · 04/01/2014 08:26

it's 99p now!!

Donkeylovesmarzipanandmincepie · 04/01/2014 11:44
