What are you reading this weekend?

[InterstellarDrifter]

I'm starting Road of Bones by Christopher Golden.

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

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!

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

@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.

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

Michelle Obama - becoming

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

The Hollows by Daniel Church. Very wintry and spooky.

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.

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.

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!

Men who hate women by Laura Bates

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

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

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

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

Pure by Andrew Miller.

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

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!

I’ve just started Little Boy Lost by Marganita Laski

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

Bah, Little Boy Lost even!

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

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

Hooray! I finished The Book Thief. I can't quite decide what I thought about it.

Now I get to start Femina - A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of It - by Janina Ramirez. It looks very interesting but might be a bit dry and difficult for me. I'm quite a lightweight reader usually. Also it's due back at the library on the 27th and I've no chance of finishing it by then. I will probably end up skimming it.

I loved The Appeal but The Twyford Code was one of the worst books that I have ever read. That said, I have her new one on order-I think it's called the Alpherton Angels, as there is a 50%chance it will be good.

This weekend, I'm reading Tudor England-a History by Lucy Wooding, although I hadn't realised that it was such a weighty tome when I ordered it from the library. It will take more than one weekend!
