I'll take a look too. :smilin: HAs anybody mentioned The Taxidermists Daughter. I read that because a friend recommended it and wasn't that excited about it.

I love it when I read a book and can't put it down and don't want it to end ..... but that doesn't happen very often these days. I remember reading Stephen King and Dennis Wheatley books and feeling like that.

It was, left me a bit cold at times though, so be prepared for that. I don't like getting spoilers myself so I won't give anything away, enjoy it if you get it. I certainly did.

I'm tempted to read "Supergenes" after seeing this quote:
"You are not simply the sum output of your genome," write Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. "You are the user and inventor of your genome." ..

I'm half way through "Poppet" by Mo Hayder.

It's very good and very creepy.

(I knew it was going to be creepy from the cover)

Sargent Phoebe "Flea" Marley is seriously doing my head in and has been for the last few books.

I hope she isn't in the next book in the series "Wolf"

I just started White Trash by John King, author of The Football Factory that was made into a film. It's got me hooked from the first page. I've read a few of his books and I've met him. He is a nice bloke.

This book looks really good and I'm just about to start reading it.

Nearly 700 pages, so it might take me a while.

Actually!!

I saw this on Thursday and asked my brother to order it for me because he has Amazon Prime and that means next day delivery.

What does he do?

He has it sent to his house instead of mine!!

Never mind he dropped it off yesterday.
