Finished.

Finished 20th April. Another thoroughly enjoyable read from Jussi Adler-Olsen.

Great to pick up this book and get right back in to the familiar characters. I really like Jussi Adler-Olsen's work.

Finished. Really enjoyed this book. A very small insight in to the trials and treatment of slaves on cotton plantations before abolition. People can be so cruel to one another.

Finished. The third book in the Department Q books which I have read, and definitely the one I enjoyed most. Looking forward to reading the next two.

Finished. Glad I read it again. Loved the grandeur of the whole thing. Love Tolstoy.

Finished. Can't quite pinpoint how I felt about this story. Enjoyed it for the most part, but felt unsatisfied by the ending. Too many loose ends.

Finished. I enjoyed this book, although the content was pretty bleak at times. Gave an insight in to the trials of what people hope for, and what they have to endure when they come to the UK hoping for a better life.

Finished. I really enjoyed this book. Believable characters and story, Obviously lightweight compared to War and Peace, but enjoyable all the same.

Reading two other books at the same time, so taking it quite slowly.

Forgotten how good this is, but also how much of a marathon.

Finished it in one go. Definitely a page turner but I found some of it too far fetched.

Definitely like this author. Going to read the next one, after War and Peace.

Decided to re-read this after watching the BBC production. It reminded me of how much I had loved the book.

Finished over a week ago. I liked this book, with its quirky characters. I immediately started reading the second one in the series.

Finished. Thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I'm hoping that the ending has left it open for another instalment.

P100. I love all of David Mitchell's books and I am really enjoying this one. It is instantly more readable than Bone Clocks and much easier to follow.

Finished two days ago. Enjoyed the trilogy, but I felt it could have been condensed a little.

Finished the second book in the trilogy and half way through the third.

Finished 18th Dec. Loved it as much as Still Alice. Lisa Genova deals with really difficult topics and gives readers an insight in to what it must be like for the characters and their families having to cope with life changing illnesses.

Finished Dec 11th. Looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy.

Finished Dec 1st

Finished yesterday. I enjoyed this story. Having worked with a number of autistic children, I thought the storyline was very sympathetically handled. I remember doing a course on autism, and after I had completed it, I was diagnosing everyone with autism. We are definitely all on the spectrum.

Finished this wonderful book yesterday. Absolutely loved it. Harrowing story, yet beautifully written. Friendship and honour in horrific times during the second world war in Penang. Can't wait for another book from Tan Twan Eng.

Finished this book in a couple of days. I wanted to like it, because I like Dawn French, and I enjoyed 'Oh Dear Sylvia', but I didn't like this at all. I didn't find it 'hilarious' as some reviews promised, I found it cringeworthy, and some of it quite distasteful.

Finished. A great insight in to the life and culture of these wonderful people.

Started reading 'Out of the Mist' by Martha Black, a book about the culture and treasure of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Chiefs.

Also finished today. Enjoyed this more than First Lies. Characters much more believable and the storyline dealt with a very emotive topic.
