10. Broadchurch Series 1 Episode Guide by James Donaghy
11. I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes
12. Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

Hi Maggie, what do you think of I am Pilgrim? did you like Orphan Train?

Hi Kiwi, yes I did like Orphan Train, I wasn't too sure to begin with but as I got further in it got better - although I do think the ending was rather sudden. It was another piece of history I hadn't heard about - like the transportation of orphans (and many who weren't!) from here in the Uk to Australia - hard to imagine that this was still going on in the 60'6 and 70's.

I am Pilgrim was quite an adventure and a page turner. It reminds me of Dan Brown's books - not the greatest writing but you don't want to put it down. I can see it as a film.

Agree with you about Orphan train Maggie and thanks for your view on I am Pilgrim, I have it on my TBR.
Happy reading!

17. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
I read this many times when I was a child and decided to re-read for the bingo challenge. This is definitely my favourite book this year! Its so beautiful, so sad I cried - I love it! (And I'm not a particularly 'horsey' person).

You're doing great with your reading Maggie, I too read Black Beauty several times as a child, but I'm definitely not a horsey person in real life, they scare me!

Thanks Pink. I'm not 'horsey' - but they are beautiful animals, a bit scary though,probably the size of them!

22. Psycho by Robert Bloch

23. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins - Worth the hype? Most definitely, kept me guessing till the end. Excellent.

I'll cross my fingers that I move down the library waiting list quickly then....I'm still in the high 300s, I think that's the biggest number so far I've ever been on a library waiting list, so it's definitely popular!

Well worth waiting for!

Interesting Maggie! I didn't even know there was a prequel. How did you like it? I've read the one by Matheson, and I also often enjoy watching the creepy 70's film adaption of the original around Halloween. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0070294/

It was okay - just okay! Quite a short book. The Matheson book is on my bookshelf waiting to be read. Enjoyed the film version.

30. The Treatment by Mo Hayder

Wow! Brilliant.

Maggie, The treatment sounds good, is it better to read the first of the series or is it stand alone?

Well Kiwi, I am the sort of person who has to read series in order! Actually you do need to read Birdman first (this is also excellent). I can't believe it took me so long to get round to Mo Hayder!

They are quite gruesome, horrific books.

Thanks Maggie

You'll enjoy Poppet!

I just happened to see this in my local library no realizing it was a series. I haven't had a chance to read other of her works, but when you get to this one, it won't disappoint.

Cathie, I will get to Poppet - I'm trying to read in order, they just get better and better. Why did it take me so long to get round to Mo Hayder!!
