    @Jimm_Scope Dune is a great series. You'll really enjoy it. 

    @C_J I am that person 😂 I started Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross on Sunday and finished it last night! Come to find, it's part of a duology and the second isn't being released until January! Gutting having to wait! 😂

    @EveD I really like Sophie Kinsella books too! Which is your favourite?

    I liked all the shopaholic books but my favourite has to be the Undomesticated Goddess. What's yours?

    Good choice! What did you think about the film adaptation?

    I really liked Finding Audrey but I read Love Your Life last year and that is one I'd like to go back and re-read :)

    @Jimm_Scope thanks for that it's always handy to have a reading order I will try the first book when I see it in a shop.

    Oh @Hannah_Scope lol I know how that feels when you pick up a book and can't put it down and you have read it quicker than usual then find another is being released later on.

    I've just started reading a book by Val McDermid called Broken Ground. Only read the opening 4 chapters and quite intrigued!

    @C_J I got 100 pages in of The Woman Who Lied by Claire Douglas last night. I read one of her books last month and really like her writing style :) 

    @Harveyblear Is it a standalone novel or part of a series?

    @Hannah_Scope It's a stand alone book, as far as I'm aware. My aunt passed a few books on to me, once she'd read them.

    If there is ever a book that asking to be made into a movie it's the one I'm currently reading Fourth Wing.
    Great read so far.

    I'm reading a book although I'm only on page 3, called the power of habit, by Charles Duhigg 
    Its a mind set book, explaining why a habit can alter the way we do things and how to alter that mind set, get rid of bad habits  to achieve success in anything we want to do.

    That sounds like a good book @Sandy_123 I like books like that I read a good one like that a while ago called The Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve Peters. A great book about how the brain process things and reacts to certain things it kind of explains things in a easy understandable way. I've recommend the book a lot and everyone that's read it say the recognised a bit of themselves in the book.

    That 1 sounds simular to this one. I'll feed back when I've read it

    @c_J the author was doing a Q&A a few months ago. They were asked (as there is going to be 5 books in the series!) if they'd want it as a film or tv series given the chance. The author couldn't say anything as there were discussions going on! Eeeee! How far have you got into it?

    @Sandy_123 You'll have to let us know what it's like. May be a great recommendation for those who make new years resolutions? or take advantage to change their mindset in the new year? :) CJ have made a note of yours!

    I finished The Woman Who Lied by Claire Douglas. Really enjoying her writing. Ordered The Couple at No.9 by her too. I have quite a few books being delivered over the next two months. Pre-Orders. Hopefully it will stop me buying more, but we will see  :D 

    My current read is A Good Girls Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson. Half way through and enjoying it. Part of a trilogy so excited to see not only what happens next in the book I'm reading. But the next two too. It's being made into a series which will air next year with Netflix I believe!

    Thanks at times I thought I could see what's about to happen next in the book and then I'm like "What that's not what i thought was going to happen.

    I pick it up and say I'm just going to read a chapter and something happens and I say to myself I can't leave it there just another chapter lol
