ES this is the book I have put on order. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love Katherine Howell's books. Actually I like most crime authors.

I finished Sapphire Skies the other day. It is light reading but a beautiful story. I'm reading Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny now. It's just started to get very interesting.

 Highly recommend The Narrow Road to the Deep North about Aussie soldiers captured as POW's to build the Burmese railway for the Japanese and their lives. I'd give it 5 stars. Now reading We are the Mulvaneys.

I have recently downloaded that one CP, I've only heard good reviews. Until then, I'm reading The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed out The Window. It's enjoyable so far.
I loved the Rosie Project and the Rosie Effect

So true JD,  that's me all the time at the mo!
but the story is quite a new one to me, about sibling loyalty. I can't say more.

I've just started 'This House of Grief'. I'm enjoying it so far.  I have book club tonight and we are discussing a Louise Penny, Bury Your Dead. I loved it.

Jamberie, I have watched the movie , The 100 y.o man who climbed out the window. Both D H and I enjoyed it immensely!
I used to read a lot of books, don't seem to find the time anymore...sad but true, and the trouble is, if I find a good book nothing else gets done.

I didn't realise there was a movie Katj. I'll have too look out for it.  But now that school's gone back my reading time has decreased so it might be a while!

DJ, I'm reading ''We're All Completely Beside Ourselves" too! Very odd, I'm finding. If it were a true autobiography, I'd accept it, but as fiction, I find it indulgent and verbose.

I must download the 100 Year Old Man. It sounds like a good one. I loved the Rosie Project and Rosie Effect. Both good reads.

I just finished "The Woman Who Stole my Life". Took a while to get into, but I really enjoyed it.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
