At the moment i'm reading Martina Cole 'Hard Girls' and it's pretty good.

I mainly read animal based books like the stuff Jon Katz has written and all those true stories about people owning dogs and their life with them but I fancied a change and bought the Martina Cole book.

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult very good but disturbing and sad about a teenage school shooter and what drove him to it.

added a bitThe first part of my Amazon order has arrived for my "holiday reading"
1) Martina Cole - The Family.
I've read all her books & been very patient with this one as the hardback was out before Xmas, but I don't like hardbacks so have waited for the paperback. I didn't like her last 2 books, a bit too repetitive, but the reviews say this one is more back to her old style.

2) Mandasue Heller - Two Faced
This was out last year but I didn't go on holiday so didn't get it!

3) Mandasue Heller - The Driver.
This is released in a few weeks so I've pre ordered

Read all her books too (similar style to Martina)

& that's my holiday reading sorted - it's the only time I read a whole book!!

oh & I saw a book on the swap shelf at work which I took, it's called "Searching For Tilly"... it was the Title that got me!!

last friday to this monday i read the "girl with the dragon tattoo by steig larsson".
last night i started "valdez is coming by elmore leonard", im just about to finish the last 15 pages,....nice western.

in between i have been reading and taking study notes from "animals in translation by temple grandin".

oh, last saturday afternoon i read "of mice and men by john steinbeck", which is a great short 90 pages story about some drifters during depression era america.

i have also read 4 of the true blood/southern vampire mysteries the last couple months. they are brill.

i read 2 thirds of "interview with a vampire by anne" rice a couple weeks back but had to return the book to my freind and its been booked up in the library since.
the week before i read "year of wonders by geraldine brooks", a beautiful story about an english plague village in 1666.

i read a wallander crime story about a month ago, and i have another one waiting on my desk tonight.
brilliant atmospheric books.

speaking of henning mankell, i can also recommend eyes of the leopard, a story about a swedish white farmer in africa..


also have waiting on my desk a val mcdermid crime novel, tales of two species by patricia mcdonnell, control unleashed,....looking forward to both of these, as they tune into my view that operant conditioning is overstated.

Val Mc Dermid is brilliant---I can't put them down once I start.

I just discovered Elizabeth George who writes the Inspector Linley ones---they are good as well.
