I'm reading "Pulse" by Felix Francis, the son of Dick who took over his horse-racing thriller franchise, just out as a paperback.

It's truly awful …… :|

I didn't enjoy the Carole Matthews one very much, I finished it but I couldn't warm to any of the characters and it seemed really repetitive.

Glad I plumped for The Other Woman, then - just finished it, twists until the last page, recommended!

The summer of impossible things, by Rowan Coleman.
Really, really good. One review says 'Back to the future meets the Time traveller's wife' :)

Read two fab books over the weekend.

Mother by Hannah Begbie & Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough.

Toni brought those over for me...it's such a treat to have so many books on my 'to read' pile this summer. :D :D

I've just started Do Not Disturb by Claire Douglas.

It's about a family moving to the Brecon Beacons from London to make a fresh start after 'something happened'......

It's gripped me so much my coffee's just gone cold! :lol: :lol:

Went to a charity shop and bought a real book, I want to see how I do with holding it, as it does give more choice.
It's The trouble with goats and sheep, by Joanne Cannon, will start it today.

Just started The Legacy by Kirsten Tranter. It seems to be about someone who disappeared, presumed dead, on 9/11. i also have The Bookseller of Kabul on the go, but that is one I can dip in and out of.
