I'm reading a book at the moment by Robert Jordan. I know it may sound mystical etc when talking about the power of wizards etc but it is set in very olden times of the gods and the story line I think is very gripping - I couldn't put it down. This is the first time I have read his books and I was so taken with it that I have ordered a few of his books in the continuing series - hope they are as good |

The Eye of the World (1 and 2)
The great hunt
the dragon reborn ( this is a name not a dragon)
the shadow rising
the fires of heaven (which I am reading at the moment)
I don't know what amazon sells them for but I order mine from Play.com and get a few pounds of each one with free delivery |

Well I'm ashamed to say I've only just finished Patricia Cornwells latest 'Book Of The Dead' it was that boring, I had to keep forcing myself to read on. I was more than disappointed, and shan't be bothering with anymore of her offerings. I hate being let down! Missed the Library van AGAIN, so will have to take a drive to the main Library or the sub sometime this week and pick up some of the books you've all mentioned

Dean Koontz, Wilbur Smith to name a few have recently been so disappointing with their last books - very rubbishy. I won't be adding any more to my collection from them. I often wonder if these are books that have been written before they became acclaimed authors and they are now churning them out similarly teh P Cornwell books |

It does make you wonder doesn't it Hannah, or whether they can't come up with any good ideas so start reeling off these half hearted attempts because they are simply out of good ideas...all at our expense unfortunately!

The new book in the series, Dragon Wytch, comes out soon...I'm sooo freaking out about it because there are only 3 D'Angeline sisters and each one has been the main character in the past three books, so who will be the main in the fourth book? If it's Camille again, because she is a witch and the title is Dragon Wytch, then...does she get draconic powers from sleeping with that dragon guy?? Does Delilah have a twin after all, maybe?! I can't fit Menolly into it because she is a vampire..so..I don't know! I can't wait for it to come out! |

My friend came round today and loaned me two books. Please Daddy No, by Stuart Howarth, and also Daddy's Little Girl by Julia Latchem-Smith. I'll let you know what they are like, I think she said she got them free with a newspaper

At the moment I am reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King. Huge fan of SK
I want to start reading Robin Hobb's books about 'Realm of the Elderlings' There are 3 Trilogies -The Farseer Trilogy--Liveship Traders Trilogy--The Tawny Man. Friends of mine love them, so I want to give 'em a go.

I like SK too, though Ive only read a couple of his, one was Bag of Bones, can't remember the other  , he does scare me though lol.
Well Ive just finished Daddy's little Girl, and although it was harrowing to read the abuse passages, it was compelling reading. It made you feel like you were living her hell too, how she coped with what was happening to her as through the eyes of an 8 year old. How she went on to become an adult and the problems it caused in her adult life, right through to finally bringing her dad to justice when she was in her 20's. I couldn't put it down, deffo worth a read if you can stomach this type of book. It did have a happy ending too which made it worth the emotional ride
