Struggle or Starve, edited by Sian Rhiannon Williams and Carol White - a collection of pieces about working class Welsh women's experiences betweeen the wars. Most of what I've read so far is memories of childhood, and it's very good.
The Coldest Blood by Jim Kelly - #4 in a crime series set in the Fens - Philip Dryden is a journalist. I read the first 2 years ago and then picked up #3 and this one in the library a couple of months ago. There's another one which I'll probably seek out now, either the books have got better or the series has grown on me.
Nick Hornby, Juliet Naked - I've decided to try and follow all of the TV Bookclub discusssions - I'd already read The Little Stranger and knew I wanted to read Sacred Hearts, and most of the others sounded quite interesting too.
Sue Townsend, The True Confessions of Adrian Mole - bought the first 7 of the series as a set a few months ago and am planning to try and reread/read them all this year.
Joan Aiken, The Stolen Lake - 4 books in this series were among my favourite childhood reading - this was published when I was 12 but I don't think I read it until later and I only bought this copy in 2000 so I don't seem to have had my own. I'm also reading the whole series, which now includes 11 books, only 6 or 7 of which I've read before. I have read this but don't remember anything the way I do with the early ones.
Christina Hardyment, Dream Babies - a book I heard of on Mumsnet, a history of parenting manuals. It's fascinating stuff.
ed Peter Marakevelis, San Francisco Noir - a collection of crime short stories I've been meaning to read for years. I'm planning to try and read one of these "Noir" anthologies a month this year too.
