I'm a bit inbetween books at the moment. Not got anything new so looking through some old ones. Might have a dig through the drawers though. Sure my OH has a couple I haven't read yet

Anyway I bought the fifth one in a second hand store, not knowing it was part of a series, I really wanted to read it but I've a compulsion to start series from the beginning. So I got the others from amazon.

Oh cool. I love it when there is a series of books. My favourite for that is Stephen Kings 'The Dark Tower' which goes over 7 books.

So that is the first book?

Yep, and I found out after I bought them on amazon that I could have gotten the first three in a compilation.

Reading some shite book called "Trespass" by Rose Tremain just now.. Bought it as it was in the bestsellers list and her last novel won some award but so far not doing much for me. Bought a Mark Billingham book today (Bloodline) though so may start that instead.

Just started Room by Emma Donoghue
It's told by a five year old boy, it's quite sweet so far but I think it will get a bit disturbing. It's a Frtizl type story

I found the language hard to get into at the start as it's spoken through a 5 year old but it does get good (well I thought anyway)

I heard her interviewed on radio a few weeks back, sounded good, but disturbing. It was inspired by Fritzl, apparently.

I'm reading Eat, Love, Pray. Meh. If the dog ate it before I finish, I wouldn't be devastated, I'll put it like that. s'aalllriight.

I'll make it my daytime book - usually have two on the go, one for daylight hours and one for bed. This one wouldn't do for bed - I wouldn't sleep a wink! But I'll definitely give it a go..............
