Just read Sinema (Northumberland masacre) then immediately read the sequel - very dark!!
Elle will you pass the name on to Matt, he was interested but I couldn't remember the title when I was talking to him. Rod Glenn is the author.
Will do! xxx |

You should get yourself a kindle Bernie - it takes up a lot less room in your luggage  |

Ach, I'm an old fashioned girl Elle! I love the feel and smell of the book as much as the story!  |

I've just finished "Playing for Pizza" by John Grisham.
I was expecting the book to have a legal twist to it, like so many of his other books but instead it was a novel about a failed American football player making good in the mostly amateur american football league in Italy.
I quite enjoyed it.

Ach, I'm an old fashioned girl Elle! I love the feel and smell of the book as much as the story! I was the same Bernie, but Linda bought me a kindle last Christmas and now I wouldn't be without it. I used to take 7 or 8 books on a 2 week holiday and I'd usually end up in the 2nd hand bookshop in the old town of PDC getting a couple more. That's the best part of a small case worth. Now I have around 500 books on my kindle which I'm working through. Just finished reading all of the Bernard Cornwall Saxon series now reading the new Tom Clancy book "Locked on" |

Just finished "I am not really here " the autobiography of Paul Lake , it was absolutely brilliant mainly as he was a briiliant player and he was playing at his best when i was on teh kippax every match , also he is roughly the same age so the games he talked about i was watching him playing them
next is Bill Brysons Down Under which if like his others will be brilliant

Yeah, I really enjoyed that one too. I read The Firm on my first trip to sea (a few coffee breaks ago now), and really got into it, but then felt that it just kind of stopped at the end rather than finished. The client the same, watched the Pelican Brief at the cinema and swore I would never touch another Grisham book again, but have thoroughly enjoyed everything that he has done since. Another of his non-legal ones which I really enjoyed was A Painted House |

Started reading a book on my kindle yesterday, I go through phases and lately I've not done much reading at all. Anyway, the book I started yesterday is called Three Weeks to Say Goodbye and its already grabbed my attention, so thats good!
Its a thriller by CJ Box, about a couple who adopt a baby, and months down the line the biological father decides he wants the baby back and they've got Three Weeks to Say Goodbye ....
