Books - the most recent you have read

Just finished all the Harry Potter novels and boy did I enjoy them. Absolutely masterful the way the plot unfolds with all the twists and turns. I have a child's imagination and it was working overtime right the way through them. Wonderful. Only wish Emma Watson as Hermione Granger had made a better job of acting in a few of the early films as she more or less ruined them for me; but she did act better in the later films, which I still love to watch.

Well since I'm only reading true crime at the moment Dr Death is my current read. Never read any Harry Potter I think they're too young for me!

"The Never List" by Koethi Zan. It's horrible, but I can't put it down!

Re: Books - the most recent you have read

I borrowed my sister's kindle loaded up with a hell of a lot of books for me to read. Finished Harry Potter so tried to find something suitable. Thought I had for a few pages but it deteriorated rapidly so had to knock the first novel on the head, but then I found David Jason's autobiography . Really enjoyable read so far as he writes well with plenty of humour and he obviously has led an interesting life.

" Alexander " book three "The Ends Of The Earth" by Velerio Massimo Manfredi.

Re: Books - the most recent you have read

I recently finished Les Miserable by Victor Hugo followed that up with Terry Pratchett's Raising Steam and have just started Val McDermid's The Resolution.

I enjoyed them all.

My Sony eReader is loaded up with another dozen unread books plus about another ninety or so that I have read. Love my eReader but some authors are not available as ebooks at my library so I have to lug about a cumbersome hardback.


Come to think of it I think all the Harry Potter novels are on it but I can't say that I am much moved to read them. Maybe one day.

I'm part way through Ken Follett's "Winter of the World" after having finished his "Fall of Giants". Before those I read "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafron which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Novels in English are difficult to find over here and also expensive and most of my books are ordered online from the UK. My family and friends kindly send me books from time to time so I often read books by authors I wouldn't normally have chosen.

What about getting a Kindle? Unlimited books on tap then and they are normally much less to buy.

Re: Books - the most recent you have read

Miss Appleby's Academy by Elizabeth Gill a bit of a romantic weepy
and now half way through The Perfect Family by Kathryn Shay about a teenage boy coming out to his catholic family which is weepy for different reasons.

Stay Alive, Simon Kernick. A rollicking good read, as usual!
