    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?
