Are you enjoying it? I LOVED it. It was one of those books I was sad to finish because even if I read it again it wouldn't be the same because I'd know the ending! I had certain issues with it but I could forgive them because it was such a good read.
Also I am interested to know what your certain issues were...

Tbh, I didn't really have issues when I read that one, but when I read 'The Fire Child' which is the author's next novel under that name, it was also about a woman putting a kid at risk etc because of mental health problems (that I didn't necessarily find terribly realistic) and it just pissed me off!
"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."
at the local charity shop, there are paperbacks for 49p and hardbacks for 99p to be bought - so i got one of each
i never saw the girl on the train movie, so maybe just reading the book is right for me:)
Hannah, that is quite annoying. I put The fire Child on my to read list, is it worth a go anyway?
Charity shops are great for book bargains, although I've seen some charge £2.50 for paperbacks which is a good deal but I'd prefer them to be £1 or less!
I have The Girl On The Train on my book case and I've never seen the film either. If you read it let me know if you recommend it.
Now reading:
Fragile Lives: A Heart Surgeon's Stories of Life and Death on the Operating Table - Stephen Westaby.

Lindsay, I'd say it's probably worth a read. I didn't enjoy it as much as The Ice Twins, but I did still enjoy reading it for the most part.
I really liked The Girl On The Train. The film is terrible. I really wouldn't bother watching it!

Could not get into Scaredy Cat, only chose it because I have to chose a crime book to read for the reading group I go to and I have no idea what is crime and what is a thriller and Scaredy Cat definitely had crime in it!
Found a book that says 'the crime novel of the year' on the front cover so I'm giving it a shot:
Blacklands - Belinda Bauer.

This is on my bookcase, let me know what you think of it if you finish it.

Harry Potter is 100% cultured. I sometimes think I'd like to read the books again but then I think that there are so many books I haven't read that I should be reading them instead. Hope you're enjoying them.

I finished Wild, which I really enjoyed, and The Year Of Less, which was incredibly dull. Now reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King, which I'm enjoying but I'm disappointingly un-scared so far!

Lisey's Story is one of the books I remember becoming absolutely engrossed in and I couldn't stop thinking about it once I had finished it. I read it a long, long time ago so can't remember anything about it now.
