I finished Dear Thing - good but predictable.

Then I read Before I Met You - good but predictable.

Last night I started Flavours of Love by Dorothy Koomson.

I changed my mind - I just started Helen Dunmore, The Lie.

I loved Pilgrimage - I listened to it on audio book.

I have put The Lie to one side as this morning I woke up to find Philippa Gregory's new book, The Kings Curse had been delivered to my kindle.

I'm reading The Moment by Douglas Kennedy, haven't read one of his books for years. Interesting descriptions of Berlin in the 1980s before the Wall came down.

I finished Lost & Found by Tom Winter - I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I then read a Jodi Picoult short story - Where There's Smoke - an Amazon freebie, it's only a half hour read but is an introduction to her next book. I quite enjoyed it.

I'm now reading 11.22.63 by Stephen King which has had me hooked from the first page.

I am 80% of the way through The a kings Curse and am loving it. It will probably get finished today.

Not sure what to read next - I have loads on my kindle. I joined a group on FB called the TV Book Club and everyone recommends books - it's costing me a fortune!

I've just finished reading a book I wrote about 12 years ago, when I had a go at writing.
It was one of a set of six. After I had no luck with publishers, I decided to print and bind my
own books (one of each) to finish the exercise. I quite enjoyed reading it, as I'd forgotten a
lot of the detail.

The story is about a mysterious object found in a box of oddments bought at a auction, and how
a person gifted in Psychometry or Clairsentience was able to trace it's history back through many
historical events to its beginning in biblical times. It took a lot of research on my part to perfect
all the details.

If anyone is interested and will P.M. me their Kindle Email address, I will gladly send it to them.
(But I won't be disappointed if no-one wants it)

I would love to read it Aggers - it sounds fascinating.

I'm not sure how it works re the kindle email but I will gladly pm you my email address (I assume my kindle email is the same as my amazon sign in one) and see if I can get it on to my kindle.
