Thought I would update y'all with my recent reads.

The Charming Man - Marian Keyes - half way through
The Recipe Club - Andrea Israel & Nancy Garfinkel - 7/10
Fledgling - Octavia Butler - 6/10
Kindred - Octavia Butler - 8/10
Her Fearful Symmetry - Audrey Niffenegger - 7/10
Parable of the Sower / Parable of the Talents - Octavia Butler - 7/10
The Dome - Stephen King - 8/10
Barefoot - Elin Hilderbrand - 7/10
The Blue Bistro - Elin Hilderbrand - 8/10
Wastelands (Stories of the Apocalypse) - Various inc S King - 7/10
Seed to Harvest - Octavia Butler - 6/10

When I look back that is quite a mix of horror/romance/sci-fi and thriller.

Got my Amazon order in for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson, The Brightest Star in the Sky, Marion Keyes and Earth Abides, George Stewart.

I loved that one. More so because it was a surprise when I saw it in the bookshop and had to have it.

Read it all the way through in about 2 days and didn't want it to end

I got a load of Amazon vouchers for Christmas, this thread has reminded me I need to go browsing

I'm halfway through Fever of the bone by Val McDermid. It's brilliant (as all her books are ).

For those who haven't read her - she is a brilliant thriller writer who wrote TV's wire in the blood.

I have ben reading about some about Australian drovers

hell west and crooked by Tom Cole and Goldie by Bill 'swampy' Marsh
both are good short books with interesting stories

for a bigger read shantaram about India's slums and an Australian escaped convicts life in Bombay this is also a true story.
I love shantaram but the sheer size of the book can be daunting.
Anne Rices vampire books are excellent and Dean Koontzs books by the light of the moon and from the corner of his eye are lovely.

Bernard Cornwells new book the lords of the north is good as is the sequel to pillars of the earth world without end by ken follet

host is a brillint book by stephanie meyer far better than the twilight books I thought.
I am a bookworm and a fast reader the book depository is good as is the local second hand bookshop but I do miss cheap books from play.com

"Any Old Eleven" - Jim Young

It's about park cricketers in Oz (true stories) ... an acquired taste, obviously, but very keenly observed, I'm enjoying it muchly.
