Book Club

I have just finished reading this book from Jane Green, the queen of chic lit - love her books. Anyway, I was just looking at the inside cover when I realised that I have read all her books. I have been buying them as and when they have been released during the last 15 years. It got me thinking, we all have our favourite authors, out of those authors have you read all of the books that they have ever published?





Kathy Reichs is another of my favourites, great thrillers solved by forensic anthropology. I have read every single one of her books as and when they were published. I do however think that she is now just churning them out. I would even go as far to say that I think she is now just doing it for the money rather than the love of her character and the story!! Sorry Kathy!!






I have nearly finished this book by Bill Bryson, the truly amazing travel writer. This is the second of his books that I have read and I have a feeling he could become a new favourite of mine. He is American but lived in England for a long time, he also married an English girl so he has a very Anglo-American view on everything.




As you probably know by now, I love cook books, I can't get enough of them. I can not talk about books without adding a little cook book at the end. Now that it is starting to get a little colder and the evenings are getting a little darker, this is probably the perfect time to pull out my favourite 'winter' cookbook from the shelf. I am huge Delia fan, I like all of her books but this one is really special. Red Onion Tarte Tatin, Wild Mushroom Risotto and Gorgonzola Apple Strudel to name but a few of her offerings............

I have just finished reading.......


It was a really lovely book. Full of courage, sadness and a wonderful insight into Norman and his father's relationship. What fascinates me is how an 11 year old deals with the 'what if...' of tragedy and how that is carried on his shoulders through puberty to adulthood.

It has not made it on to my top-ten favs but still a very interesting and worthwhile read. Um.. what to read next???
