What book are you reading?
I know there was a discussion a few months ago about what people are reading at the moment but I can't find it so I'm starting a new one!
I read lots of good books (and some not so good ones) but I just finished one that was fast-paced, an easy read, a bit quirky AND the main protagonist was a not quite young woman! "It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses an Eye" is by a Scots author, Chris Brookmyre and can best be described as "The Long Kiss Goodnight" meets "Shirley Valentine" (I know the medium is different but the imagery works).

- I've been reading some Di Morrissy novels - but am having a break by reading Jimmy Barnes' life story "Working Class Boy''! What an eye opener THAT is!! And it's not 'that long ago' either - that both areas in Scotland and Aussie were in total poverty!
Well worth a read if you can grab a copy from the library! - I’m reading Juror No. 3 by James Patterson. Just finished The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian.
- I’ve just started Heather Hawkins’ Adventurous Spirit. Fantastic read so far.
- It's a lovely film too....
- I have just finished "A man called Ove". Makes me see grumpy old men in a different light.....
- I have just finished 2 of Peter Watts, "The Moon Burns" and "While Fire Falls". I am attempting to get hold of a third book in the series,
"Beneath A Rising Sun".
They are historical fiction set in Australia during WW2 and follow the entwined lives of 2 families.
Definitely in the 'can't put down category.
