Muffy havent had much chance to read ...but im half way through Lilians Story, im atually quite enjoying...I wasnt sure at the beginning but ive stuck with it.... :-)

I've just acquired entitled WHAT IF

Its a series of debates about huge incidents in time....

Example,what if Pontius Pilate had spared Jesus?

What if Hitler had won the war?

Lillian's story was ok. Got a bit bored towards the end as I kept getting confused by all the family lol...but the early years were interesting x

Hello fellow readers :-)

Have finished Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel,
enjoyable read for anyone into history and
am now onto Abandoned Women by Lucy
Frost.....am feeling so sad for these women
who were transported to Van Diemens island,
but more so for their children, very sad stories.

Hi all....

Well I have finished The Last Telegram and have to say I really enjoyed it, a lovley easy read, and also didnt realise it was loosley based on a true stroy....8/10

Now ive started Lilians Story mentioned by Muffy on here....... :-D

Funny you all mentioning my life in books...as that's where I found out about The Art Of Racing In the Rain...Clare Balding selected it as one of her favourites and I immediately downloaded it from Amazon after hearing her speak about it lol.

It's a really easy read Mersey. Let me know what you made of it lol x

Hope you can get it Tess

Will look out for "The Light Behind the Window" the next time I get to the Library.

Thanks for letting us know about this bppk.

Shame nobody voted for it on Greaders so I will be the only one reading it. :-D

I really did enjoy that book Ann :-D

I have just finished and really enjoyed The Light Behind The Window by Lucinda Riley. A really good read.

I nwatch it when I remember. Don't much like Anne Robinson but she is okay in this.

An interesting selection of guests, plus a really good selection of books.
Especially as the books the guests chose are from various periods of their life (including childhood)
Any moe "Just William" fans out there?

Has anybody been watching "My Life in Books" on BBC2 with Anne Robinson?

Its about 2 well known people who pick their favourite books and discuss why they have been important to them through their lives.....

I always record this programme as find very interesting :-)

Hiya Tess

I recently bought The Historian from a charity shop whilst looking for books for some research I'm doing at the moment. Enjoying the book so far. I'm onto section two and the plot is thickening!! :-S :-0 x

If anyone wants to try a different genre, Triple Alpha (an eBook) by D. Scothern one of a few by this indie author is a good read.

~~~~'s to Mersey ;-) <3

I'm now reading Lillian's Story, One Womans Journey through the 20th Century by Sally Patricia Gardner....it's a freebie on Amazon....prob won't like it as much as I should because I'm still in the mindset of the last book I read but it's ok so far (4 chapters in) !

Just finished " betrayed" n how anyone can do that to a small child, is pure evil,
Now reading " the little house" I normally don't read fiction but nothing else in the villa library lol, anyways few pages in n I realised iv seen the film, I'll still read it to compare it to the film :-D

Hi all .....

Im always intrigued and so interested in the different variations of books that we all read.......Its great to see those who post and share a book that maybe personally we wouldnt read........but then after reading posts on here it sometimes entices us to do so.......

Anybody and everybody is welcome to post....... :-D <3

Stayed up til nearly 3am this morning to finish The Art Of Racing In The Rain....found myself laughing and crying in turn ! Fantastic book. I'm an unashamed dog lover which I think may have added to my enjoyment....Some have said they found it a bit trite ...but not me...I thought it was so well written even the more unlikely parts didn't really register for me....I truly want to believe what Enzo (the dog) learnt by watching the Discovery channel (lol)...and that's the Mongolian belief that the dog''s next incarnation is as a human if they have learnt enough as a dog....sounds like a plan to me ! x
