Read so many I tend to forget the titles.
Bought the hardback of The Dark River by John Twelve Hawks. I enjoyed his first book The Traveller but was a bit disappointed in the second one. It didn't seem to flow properly and I feel that his heart wasn't in it. The Dark River follows on from The Traveller and we meet Myra and Gabriel and Michael, as well as the Evergreen Foundation. Sure there are a few twists and surprises. I might go back and read it again and possibly understand where the author is coming from.
Finished Terry Pratchetts 'Wintersmith'. Loved it. Funny, witty.
'Marley and Me' - anyone who has had or has a dog should read this. I laughed, nodded in understanding and cried. Really cried. Its about a cuople who get a dog as a precursor to children, thinking that if the dog can survive then so can children. The dog becomes an intrigule part of their familly and the trouble he gets into. I can remember a few of our dogs doing the same thing. The story is true and the writer felt that he had to put it all in writing. The book flows well and you feel that you are their, as part of the familly, going through everything they are but page by page.
Harry Potter of course (twice), quite a few more. The second hand book shop shudders when I walk in as I have so many to return.:tonguepop:
