Recently re-read The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, and am currently reading Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie - one of the very few Poirot books I hadn't yet read.

My life in the firm.

Though I bought it a few weeks back, I'm just now starting up on The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis, about a group of nihilistic teens who get caught up in the sinister machinations of a brutal serial killer who's menacing the streets of '80s LA. That's a very broad and basic summary that probably doesn't do justice to the full scope of the story, but it's a serviceable one all the same. Thus far it's your basic Ellis fare, i.e., a group of physically perfect, bisexually promiscuous teenagers who lead the sort of carefree and materially rich but emotionally soulless lives that many of us probably half-wish we could have lived when we were teenagers lol. But that's not a slight against it. I'm enjoying it immensely with its almost obscene litany of '80s pop culture references.

The Thursday Murder Club

Just started this, I like it so far, Graham is a very good story teller

…oh, reading the synopsis on this it sounds like a story I would like and Graham has such an engaging way about him…if that carries into his writing then I’m sure I’ll like his style so I’ll give it a go…sounds like a nice summer read also…

Yeah i think you would like it, I'm actually listening to the audio version and he narrates that as well

Imagine losing the most important ten years of your life …

Alice is twenty-nine. She adores sleep, chocolate, and her ramshackle new house. She’s newly married to the wonderful Nick and is pregnant with her first baby.

There’s just one problem.
All that was ten years ago …

Alice has slipped in a step aerobics class, hit her head and lost a decade. Now she’s a grown-up, bossy mother of three in the middle of a nasty divorce and her beloved sister Elisabeth isn’t speaking to her. This is her life but not as she knows it.

Clearly Alice has made some terrible mistakes.
Just how much can happen in a decade?

Can she ever get back to the woman she used to be?

A new chapter of trainspotting has just been released by Irvine Welch. Not bought it yet, awaiting a loan of one from a pal. Or I might shop lift it from whsmith to punish them for their over priced cigarettes.

I'm reading Mapp and Lucia, fourth book in the series by E F Benson. I'm a big fan of his, his ghost stories are excellent. I've completely gone off modern novels.

Really enjoyed this one, the same Author wrote the book version of Big Little Lies. I'll probably read a few more of her books

I've always fancied reading something from this author.

She writes really good and fleshed out female characters which I like

Just read this. Quite disappointing. Thought it was going to be a bit spookier.

…did you watch the miniseries, Glenn…?…it was quite spooky, I thought…

Oh my son had to read that for one of his Uni modules, he loved the TV show but he was disappointed with the book too, he said it was totally different

The one on Netflix? Yeah I did which is why I had higher expectations for the book. It’s not the same story as the series and the only thing that is the same are the main characters names and Hill House itself.

I was expecting more from it.

Wanted a good ole ghost story to read

…The Amityville Horror was very good in book form, I thought…

Night and Day by John Connolly.

When I read the inner-flap I thought it sounded awesome, I didn't realise (it didn't say) it was a short story compilation :laugh:

That's fine, I am enjoying the stories, but I thought they'd all come togethet somehow, the one with the library has potential to be a book on its own.

Just about about to go sit in the sun and start this https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c79a9ca52.jpg

…I like the storyline synopsis …I see that it’s a miniseries also and not one that I’d noticed before so I might try that soon…
