What are you reading and book reviews

[vix]

Just read the four X Files books that Phil had, (been a bit of an X Files addict at the mo as we are watcing the entire collection in preparation for the film)

They are:

Goblins
Whirlwind
Ground Zero
Ruins

Just Wiki'd and there are two more 'adult' (lol) ones and a lot of 'young adult' ones so I'm now on a mish.

I was looking at this on Audible last week, but it's a long book at 17 hours which will take me a lot of journeys to and from work. I'd appreciate knowing what you think of it?

This tread has reminded me of some books on my read/reread list including; Wild Swans (to reread), Anna Karenina (heard some as radio play and know most of story but haven't read) and John Peel autobiography (borrowed from dad and started to read but I was too sad at the time as it wasn't long after his untimely death).

My recommendations of the books that I have read most recently are;

The Time Traveller's wife
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
The Historian
Empress Orchid
A Spot of Bother

I will try and come back to add a but more of an outline/review on these but I think I'd better get off to bed now....

Yes, it's the Santa Evita one - that would be great if Kitten can't find hers.

Have The Time Traveller's Wife to read. Read The Historian and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have just finished M.M.Smith - The Servants

Things are unreliable. Things break. Things fall apart. Even at 11 years old, Mark knows this all too well.

By the time he moves out of London to a wintry seaside town, things are already bad. His mother is sick, and Mark doesn't get along with his new stepfather. Although he finds an ally in an elderly neighbour, it still doesn't feel like home, and shadows are soon gathering as things slowly start to get worse

Mark knows he has to do something, but he doesn't know what. And the only people who might be able to help him...

... may not even exist.

I really enjoyed this book, I read it in one evening (It's not a very long book but I wasn't able to put it down either). It felt very much like his short stories that were in 'What You Make It'. If I had to describe this book in 3 words..... personal, atmospheric, curious.

Reading the time traveler's wife at the mo. Loving it.

Only cos I haven't received anything yet - work or home and I'm worried is lost
