Have got Absolute Power by David Baldacci waiting for me next on my ipad. Ooooh I should definitely get The Help too, thanks!

LuluHB have a go at fifty shades just to satisfy your curiosity! I read the first third, hated it and then struggled to finish because I thought it might get better. It didn't for me. But lots of people say the second and third books are better.

That's hilarious lovely. Reminds me of a line in a Billy Crystal movie- "here, try this and tell me if it tastes bad" Your variation is hey read this book. Its crap but read it!! ;-)

I hope you like the Baldacci book. I've read a few of his now and they're not earth shattering but usually a good read - I really enjoyed his latest one

i have just finished reading two good books by Kate Morton. The Shifiting Fog (also published as the House at the Riverton) and The Forgotten Garden. Both were good - basically about modern day people remembering or researching the past set in great houses in England (kinda like Downton Abbey).

Now I'm onto a PD James book called Death Comes to Pemberley - a "sequel" to Pride and Prejudice.

I just finished The Help. I loved it. I couldn't put it down. I didn't want to put it down

I have now started Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings. So far finding it a bit hard to get into. It's early days though - only up to chapter 2!

Is "The Shifting Fog" worth reading Bloom? I saw that a few years ago & considered it but bought something else instead. Can you tell me a little more about it (without giving toomuch away )

Oh no! I really was looking forward to Mystery at Mercy Close, and really had my fingers crossed and I didn't much like The Brightest Star In The Sky, and that was the first of hers I had not completely loved ... But yes, she struggled with depression and alcoholism and other substances, from what I gather. I hope she recovers soon (because I think she's fabulous, not just because I want her to pump out her next book ...).

I really quite liked the Richelle Mead I just finished (Bloodlines - about an Alchemist) and I am thinking I'll just read the next one before getting onto MAMC, so that I've got all the characters still in my head.

I havent read a book in years, but Im forcing myself to take some me time and grabbed The Birth House by Ami McKay and I am LOVING it! Its about a teenage girl living in a remote village and being taught to deliver babies by the towns midwife. No intervention, letting the mother do exactly what she feels with minimal guidance. Love love love. Did I say I love it?
