    A very short story Sufficiently short I’ve read it’s 151 small pages tonight. Sufficiently confusing inadequate to start again 10 pages in just to ensure I knew which voice was which. I’m not sure about the ending at all but the book is as haunting as reviews suggested. A book to leave you with a slightly disturbed uneasy feeling.

    A recommendation? Hmm, you decide.

    That made me both want to read it and not want to read it all at the same time!

    Hi JadeB90 I big fan of Crime books to. Especially Patricia Cornwells : Scarpetta serious.
    And James Pattersons: Womens Murder Mystery club. I quite few books behind on both .
    Also books from Torey Hayden who writes stories of her time as a special needs teacher
     As well as other books by Harper and Collins true story section is inspiring. Throw in a bit of Stephen king and Dean l koontz sci fi I'm an all rounder.

    @ronni i'm with @scotleag on that one. I love hardback copies and nothing beats the real thing of course, but a kindle is a perfect idea. It's so handy!

    @scotleag a hard back 900 pages whoa. Just avoid north and south in hard back.  You'd  need on wheels to carry it around.

    love charity shop book. Can novels and text
     Back a few decades ago they sell something not a book but original readers digest. Every since I was I kid love that pocket size. Proper investigative journalism. I once huge going back 1950 you could see the world. change. It began 1890s approx.

    Could get old books  from charity my first was 1930s print of letters from Browning. Finney letters and poetry to his friends especially Kipling.
    Unfortunately not many charity shops are wheelchair accessible nowadays.

    Morning guys! How are you all?

    I have just finished reading The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes, a great read! It was such a good plot that had a few twists and turns!

    It's meant to be a psychological thriller but it wasn't very thrilling. Good holiday read I think but I like a book to keep me guessing when it comes to mysteries.

    Awesome! How's the blog going?

    As far as favourite authors go I absolutely adore Agatha Christie when it comes to mysteries and crime. For new stuff do you have a genre in mind?

    @Ronni, I too stopped reading a my sight deteriorated. Despite my love for actual books, I love my kindle and it has allowed me to read again! I can't imagine going back now. Also, I bought mine second hand to save money, works perfectly!
