I was recommended this book by a member of the bookclub I attend. Stephen Leather is a popular British thriller writer and he has written another fast paced thriller which is more horror than pure suspense/thriller.

I so agree with you Jane! With all the poverty in the world and climate change to worry about why would you read this garbage! ?This sort of attitude is why the world in such an unequal place and the over consumption of consumer goods is ridiculous.…
The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are the first two books in this amazing series for young adults. I am not always a fan of YA literature and I did get bored with the whiney character of Bella in the Twilight series but this book was highly recommn…

Paranormal Romance suggestions for Halloween
Since the success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and the adaptation of the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire series for the True Blood television series, paranormal romance as a genre has really taken off. What is paranormal romance? Well it's a combination of horror and romance with the main characters usually being vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, succubi, demons and other supernatural beings.It's the perfect escapist literature for the modern young women as usually this genre featu… Continue

- Thanks. I'm currently reading Liquid Leadership by Martin Hughes. I co-ordinate a Leadership Programme at work, so like to keep up with trends & different views on leadership. The author is a young guy so his style is personable & concepts easy to grasp.

ec said… - Hi Linda, Yes good to be back. Loving Bathurst along. I can't get enough of the heat. Ben sits with the aircon on in the office but the boys and I are out the back every afternoon gardening and playing. Just reading to different series at the moment. Drift by penni russon, nice relationship teen type thing. And Going under by Justina Robson, also good fantasy. I will keep going with the true blood, I have read the first two so far. Looking forward to trying the patrica briggs ones though that Jacqui recommended.

julie austin said… - Thanks I will look out for them. I really like her characters although the last few books have been a bit over the top. I like the exploration of S and M but it has been taken to new levels with her. I am waiting for her new book to read to see if she has gone back to her better work. She has an amazing imagination.

- Hi Lindach, Mosman's a home away from home for us (my hubbie's from Sydney). I'm always look for new and interesting reads. At the moment I'm into Australianna/historical - Just finished 'For the Term of His Natural Life' and have now moved on to 'The Fatal Shore' (recommended by a friend in Sydney). Any others you'd recommend?

- Thank you for the welcome.
Favourite authors? Ian Rankin and Robert Wilson in crime, Ian McEwan, Andrew Greig . . . as usual my mind has gone blank when put on the spot. Really I read all sorts. Membership of two book groups keeps me busy reading what I wouldn't otherwise pick up myself, often with surprising results.
