The Other Queen

Next book

My sister's keeper

I wasn't sure about this one, but thought I'd give it a go. Hadn't seen the film but had a rough idea what it was about. I was wrong!

It focus's around the whole family and is seen from each family member's point of view, with each chapter being told by a different one.

There is an unexpected twist at the end which I didnt see coming atall.

Really liked this, dont know if I'd want to see the film though, not into emotional films that may make me cry!

The White Queen

Really enjoyed this book, it felt more like a story than loads of historical facts! Full of interesting characters and involved plots. Highly recommended.

The Savage Garden

Next Book

The Savage Garden

Set in Tuscany in the 1950's, this story is about a young student who goes to Italy to research a Renaissance garden that has a hidden secret. A murder has been committed, 400 years ago, and this garden has been made giving clues through it's pagan statues and inspirations from classic novels and art.

It's an interesting read, with good charachters and twisting plots. It ended rather abruptly for me, everything was summed up quickly at the end.

Would still recommend as thoroughly enjoyable.

Friends, Lovers,Chocolate

The rest of the series, including Friends Lovers and Chocolate, The right attitude to rain, The Careful use of compliments, The comfort of saturdays.

It didnt take long the read these, but thoroughly enjoyed them. Just as I'd finished the careful use of compliments I was given the next one for christmas. Perfect timing!

Now up to date with the series, looking forward to the next one.

The Sunday Philosophy Club

From the author of "Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency". Thought I'd try one of his other series'.
I enjoyed this book overall but it was abit slow in places. Started off well with lots going on, then seemed to just be padding out with not alot of progression to the story. Later on it picks up again and the end also gets more interesting.
The main character is compared to Mne Ramotswa (of No 1 Ladies), but I didnt see any comparison.
Nethertheless, it was an enjoyable book and I will continue on with this series.

Too Close to Home

This book is by the same author as No Time for Goodbye, which I really enjoyed.

I enjoyed this one just as much as the other one, a good twist at the end, which I didnt see coming, it kept me guessing till the very end. Clever plot and well written.

Recommended.
