    I'm trying to decide what to read next too, not sure if I should read 50 shades or not? So much hype over it makes me think it won't live up to my expectations lol!

    Might get onto 'raising boys' while I decide what else to read!

    Ok so Im still searching for a new book to read, but just wanted to ask about the Jack Reacher books. Am I right in hearing that Tom Cruise will be playing him in the movie version?? My vision of Jack was that he was much much much taller than Tom

    Sandie, go read them with no expectations and the books will still not reach them.

    I am currently re-reading The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldan. Love this series. Great if you like historical fiction.

    From the last thread

    I am reading The People Smuggler - The true story of Ali Al Jenabi.

    I have also loaded the Gina Rinehart unofficial biography to read next and then I might go onto the Michael J Fox biography.

    I am popping in to give an update on The People Smuggler, it's written by Robin De Crespigny. I am absolutely enthralled by this book. It's an incredibly emotional book.
    I am amazed that Ali Al Jenabi is still alive and his plight and struggles in this book are truely heartbreaking, some uplifting and some I cannot even begin to understand.

    I felt the same about The People Smuggler Heather, truly heartbreaking but one of those books I couldn't put down. I've read it twice.

    Just started reading Room by Emma Donoghue which my sister gave me to borrow. I've read Slammerkin by the same author and enjoyed it. Although it comes with a 'may be disturbing' and a 'heartbreaking' warning. Think after this I'll go for something lighter!
