Dial 999 - Les Pringle.

Boy Midflight by Charlie David. A fantastic gay-mance novella!

Stopped reading Dial 999 for now because I got a book from the library. Matron Knows Best - Joan Woodcock.

I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife and The Walking Dead TP's.

I'm so addicted to this book, can't put it down!

The Woman He Loved Before - Dorothy Koomson

Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder - Richard Moskovitz.

Before this I read The Sickness by Alberto Barrera Tyszka which was really good.

I loved 'Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake' until the brother started turning into a chair (and other inanimate objects). That was taking 'magic realism' a little too far, I reckon!

I'm taking an intellectual hiatus and reading Diane Chamberlain books - I loved 'Fire and Rain'. I also read Katie Piper's 'Beautiful' because a friend asked me t, I never normally read misery memoirs) - and it was fantastic. I was in tears.

I just started reading Little Women, it's good so far.

I love Little Women. But you need to read Good Wives straight after as most of the films combine the two!

Therapy - Sebastian Fitzek.

Dial 999 - Les Pringle.

wasted - marya hornbacher

I've just finished Girl, Interrupted.

Boys Dont Cry by Malory Blackman

The Real ER - Mark Brown.

I didn't know that! Thank you. I'll try to find it in my library!! =)

Last night I finished Homer's Odyssey. It took me forever. Seriously, I read Atlas Shrugged, a 1100-page monolith of a book, in half the time it took me to read this. I liked it, but I have a feeling I'd prefer a more straightforward translation than the flowery, show-offy one I read.

Currently reading The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King. I'm about a third of the way through it, and I'm enjoying it so far. I have two complaints though: the protagonist is a nine-year-old girl, and I think King made her a little too intelligent and mature to be believable. Yeah, she breaks down and cries a lot, like any nine-year-old would when lost in the woods, but her thoughts and inner monologues are too "grown-up." It's hard to take seriously. The other complaint is more minor, and a little petty and nerdish of me: Trisha (the protagonist) loses her balance and rolls down a rocky hill. Her Gameboy breaks, but her Walkman doesn't. Gameboys are far more durable than Walkmans. Hell, they're more durable than most buildings. I call bullshit.

Deviant: The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein the Original "Psycho"

Sharp objects by Gillian Flynn - it has SI in it but so much more - brilliant book I couldn't put down.

One Step Closer ~ you are like me, loving your books! x
