What are we reading in June?

I've just done a quick google and it seems he's always had the basic idea for this one, so maybe it was 'back to basics' for him . I wasn't aware he had an accident....I went off reading for a good while, a good few years tbh, not long been back into it, but I have had some good books since then

[Diflower]

I bought Bb Under the Dome in hardback for Christmas when it first came out. He said I'd enjoy it but I couldn't hold the damned thing
That's why he bought me the kindle
The first of his I read was a collection of short stories, some of them I still remember so well, and they still scare me
Not all of his are actual horror though are they, Cell I really enjoyed

[Gal]

He does write looooong books!!!

No not all are horror, he wrote The Green Mile which I don't class as horror, among others

Debih yes it's because of the mother in law that I got cross with her too, best not give too much away though.

It's still well-written of course, but I was irritated from the start really, you can't begin to imagine how on earth she and he came to marry each other, or how anyone could name their children like that
A bit of an oddity, but I shall finish it.

I am determined not to give up on it Di but it is really annoying me now!!

I used to love Stephen King but now I just find his books far too long. They just seem to go on and on and on and on.

I finished it yesterday Debih...wish I'd never started

Me too Di. I finished it last night. I got to the point where I was thinking "oh ffs, just leave her in there".

I am not reading anything at the moment. I have This is how it ends by Kathleen McMahon which had rave reviews from Richard and Judy but I haven't been able to get into it. Although I listened to their podcast talking about the book last night and it has made me want to stick with it so I will be picking it up again later.

And I had a call from the library last night so will be going along to pick up more books today.

Well Debih, at least we have learned that even Sue Townsend can indeed write a Bad Book

I'm just about to start The Red Queen by Phillipa Gregory, read The Lady of the Rivers a few weeks ago and although I couldn't get The White Queen (which is the next one) in the library, I thought I'd read the Red Queen anyway. Appetite whetted by the new tv series!

Thanks for your reviews on this one - I've been eyeing this one up but I think I'll save my money now
