Given I'm doing summer school at the Academy my reading will mostly be Cambridge exam papers. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Any spare time I'll have my face stuck in The Gilded Gutter Life Of Francis Bacon. :P

I'm almost finished The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny.

Last night I started listening to Cuckoos Calling by Robert Galbraith (aka J K Rowling).

And I'm listening to a brilliant book on Radio 4s Book at Bedtime - The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton. It's abridged so I've decided to choose it as my book group book so I can read the whole thing.

I've read some of those Ally :D

I'm reading Nina Todd Has Gone on the kindle, sorry can't remember the author.
It's about a girl who (I think) murdered another girl when they were teenagers.
She's now been released from prison, with a new identity, but the brother of the murdered girl is after her.

I finished Beautiful Mystery - I didn't enjoy it. Far too long for the sake of being long.

I'm just about to start Dear Thing by Julie Cohen - it's a Richard and Judy book

Finished To Kill A Mockingbird. Always makes my eyes a bit watery at the end when Scout realises that the man in the room is Boo Radley...."Hey Boo!" Love it.

I've now started Lost & Found by Tom Winter.

I finished Nina Todd Has Gone. Leave it where it is in the pile Ally ;)

Have started The Unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry and enjoying it, but it's a real book so can only read it in fairly short bursts as it's hard to hold for long.
