Well, I went through "Confessions of a Shopoholic" in about three days, and if that's chicklit ... I kinda get why it has the rep it does (I was not impressed  :-\\\\ )

Now reading "The History of Lucy's Love Life in 10 1/2 Chapters" which, as the friend who gave it to me said, it is NOT as the title sounds - not fluffy chicklit - really interesting and imaginative... still a modern female in confusion over her life as the main theme, but handled quite differently.

I think after this though, might need to switch genre's for a bit!

Now I am reading Music for Torching by A.M. Homes.

she is pretty twisted but I like her style.

I am in my "finishing off books I started ages ago" stage. Last night Watermelon by Marian Keyes and now that darn To the Baltic with Bob book from Christmas.  :P

I am rereading Atonement. Other half and I are seeing the film at the weekend so I like to play screenwriter and pre-guess what the screenplay is going to be like and what gets chopped/changed/altered/added..

The Road to McCarthy, as I picked it up for £1.50 in a used book shop at the weekend.  So far, 1-1/2 chapters in and loving it, just as I did McCarthy's Bar.

I am currently reaind "Grow Your Own Veg" by Carol Klein.  It's the accompanying book to the new UKTV Gardens series.  Very intersting, if you're into that kinda stuff.

I just finished "Case Histories" by Kate Atkinson and it is easily on my top twenty books of all time list.  The characters could walk off the page.  She makes them so real! Plus it's an intertwined mystery too.

literary novel + mystery = bliss!!

I can't find a publication date, but I know there's a sequel of sorts called One Good Turn so it can't be overly recent.  I got it on a 2 for 3 sale at Waterstone's.

Pompeii, The Death of a City.  It's just a little book with some good pictures.  I was obsessed with Pompeii as a child and I love ancient history.

Have you read Pompeii?  It is fiction but it is based on facts. I loved it!
