I loved the Lewis Trilogy by Peter May. Read 'The Black House' first, 'The Lewis Man' next and 'The Chess Men' last. I am now reading 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini for the second time because my Scottish daughter-in-law wants this book next and she will pick it up when she comes to visit in a few weeks.

I am now a big fan of Wilbur Smith, John Grisham and Patrica Cornwall.

I have read all the books by John Grisham and they can be quite 'samey' but I liked 'A Painted House' best.

I find most authors stick to a tried and tested theme.

I just recently started the Game of Thrones books. I was hooked on the show, and now that the fourth season is over – I could not wait another 10 months to find out what some of my favorite characters are going to be doing. This is why I decided to pick up the books and start reading.

This is why I decided to pick up the books and start reading. Never saw that programme. Don't even know what it is all about. Sometimes with a film of a book the story does't seem to do justice to the book or the other way round. I think the thing about reading a book is that you can let your imagination go to town which can lead to disappointment when viewd on screen. The main thing is whether or not you like it. |

I'm back to history again with this book which deals with a part of WW1 which I was unaware of.  |

It was Germany's dying gasp at having a world wide navy.
