Spot the deliberate typo.

Where did my reply go?????????????

Thanks for starting the thread PPG x

Loved the trilogy and the first film, even though I had to bear subtitles (I don't do subtitles!), even though they messed with the story it was still good.

Thrilled to find out there is a new C J Sansom out, fourth in the 'Shardlake' series... can't wait to get my hands on it.

You are welcome darling x

I still haven't seen the film Sofes. I loved the books despite the descriptions of food (meatball city) and the adverts for Mac applications. Lisbeth was the most unlikely heroine but very appealing.

I've not read any of the Shardlake series but BF is a big fan.

I've read them but I haven't seen the films either. Book 3 started with a bang and just kept going!

I'm reading 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult at the mo - it's a really riveting read, one of those I have propped open on the cook book stand while I'm making dinner!

I like Jodi Picoult Saz but made the mistake of reading one after the other and then started predicting what was going to happen in all of them!

I'm reading a Rosie Thomas at the moment, A Simple Life, which is enjoyable but not all that gripping. I need a new favourite author at the moment.

I like Kate Atkinson but couldn't get into Emotionally Weird, it felt like she was drunk when writing it.

Hi Pink Pinot Girl,

Nice to see you again! Can't find a hug smiley (boo!) or I'd put one in.

Thanks for the link to this board from the blog, and for starting this thread! I've just finished reading 'Pies and Prejudice' by Stuart Maconie. It's very funny at times and has left me feeling a little homesick for the North (I live in exile down south these days).

Hope some more of last years bookworms find this post - last years thread left me with some great reading ideas...

Hi Frankie

BF loved Pies and Prejudice as well (he's from Yorkshire) and keeps telline me I must read it.

Ditto on last year's thread, I read loads of different authors following other people's recommendations.

Has anyone read The Secret History (Donna Tartt)? So far it's been my book of the year. I loved it. I couldn't get into The Little Friend though.

Donna Tartt? Doesn't she write some seriously dark stuff? Sure I had a book of hers years ago with a nasty doll face on the cover...

I loved the Kate Atkinson you recommended last year PPG. I've loaned it out but think it was Where have the good times gone or something similar.

Hi gang/sequinners (probably a bit soon for that, no sparkly dresses seen this year so far!)

This year on hols I read Jodi Picoult's "Change of Heart", I found it in the hotel. I was gripped, cover to cover, even recommended it to the husband who also rated it. Best one of hers by far - unless anybody out there knows better.....

Hey Fifty

I read a lot of Jodi P books in quick succession and found I could guess the plot, also a little too much recurring court room dramatics for me. As I've had a couple of years break now I'll give your recommendation a try.

I'm reading a Rankin at the moment 'The Complaints'. It's good, not one that will stay with me though.

Hey Sofes ((hugs))

Let me know if you like it

I think Change of Heart was the first one I read of JP's FNO and I agree, it was excellent. Reminded me of The Green Mile a bit.

Sorry peeps, nothing to do with books, but will somebody please tell me how to insert a picture in my profile.

Profile and then avatar FNO.

I think mine is way too big!!! And I'm worried people might think I want them to offer me cake and champagne.
