Ohh, Daughter of Time is one of my favourites!


I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the book.  It's a bit slow at the moment so I'll be glad when Inspector Grant gets a move on!

Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier. It's OK. A bit of fluff, but quite well-written fluff.

I'm about halfway through Past Imperfect  now (told you I was the slowest reader) and it's alright, but it's too much "tell" and not enough "show" for me.

Eight million gods and demons by Hiroko Sherwin. Japanese family saga. Interesting.

I've finished Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time, and I am halfway through Michael McIntyre's Life & Laughing.

The Green Knight by Iris Murdock - but I'm in Hay-on-Wye for the festival and can't stop buying books, so I'm sort of in the middle of about three others because I'm too impatient to wait to start them!

I'm reading the Song of Fire & Ice series by George RR Martin. I was too impatient with the tv show, so I started the series. Loving it!

This is on my Kindle wish list.

I am reading "Black Swan Green" by David Mitchell and "The Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson.  Someone has blacked out all the swear words in the Bryson book though.  Glad I have someone watching out for the well being my moral fibre.

Just finished rereading "Pigs in Heaven" by Barbara Kingsolver - love her!  I'm headed to the used book stall to see if I can find "The Bean Trees" and reread that one.  Also starting Geneen Roth's "Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations About Food and Money". 

Slogging through "Dinner with Persephone", but it is slow going for me.

Sleep No More by Greg Iles. Pretty good so far, though it hasn't reeled me in as much as The Devil's Punchbowl.
