Mar 2013 - And Then It Happened, Linda Green
Feb 2013 - The Boy With No Shoes, William Horwood - OK didn't particular enjoy it but didn't hate it either.
Jan 2013 - Oranges aren't the only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson - Enjoyed it but didn't like the fantasy passages though. Easy read and it read like an autobiography.
Dec 2012- Cold Comfort Farm, Stella Gibbons - love to re-read this and loved it.
Nov 2012 - The Guide to the Birds of East Anglia, Nicholas Drayson - didn't get time to read.
Oct 2012 - Forgotten Garden, Kate Morton - loved this, had me guessing what would happen all the way through.
Sept 2012 - Before I Go To Sleep, S J Watson - Gripping read it v quickly. Clever twists.
Augt 2012 - We are Made of Glue, Marina Lewycka - Enjoyed it, lovely characters and well written.
Jul 2012 - Free Choice so I read Fifty Shades of Grey! Weirdly addictive and just wanted to know what everyone was going on about.
Jun 2012 - Life of Pi, Yann Martel - Same excuse too busy to read it but will get round to it.
May 2012 - Emma, Jane Austen - Too busy to finish this but want to and will ....
Apr 2012 - Sister, Rosamund Lupton - Thought it would be schmultzy but it wasn't. Enjoyed it a lot. Poignant.
Mar 2012 - Chalcot Crescent, Fay Weldon - not my favourite book but a nice easy read.
Feb 2012 - Martyr, Rory Clements - historical mystery that I would normally avoid like the plague (excuse the pun) but it was good. The joy of a book club is that you get to read, and enjoy, books you would never pick up and this is one of those.
Jan 2012 - Month off.
Dec 2011 - The Island, Victoria Hislop - had read this before but enjoyed it just as much reading it for the second time. Lovely book.
Nov 2011 - The Help, Kathryn Stockett - very interesting. Happened to coincide with Oscar learning about racism at school so we have had lots of insightful discussions. Hope to see the film.

Oct 2011 - Exmoor Witch, Margaret Drabble - euugh didn't like this at all. Found it heavy going and a bit irritating. Couldn't relate to the characters, couldn't relate to the story, felt no empathy for their plight at all. Don't think I'll be rushing to read any more Margaret Drabble!

Mar 2011 - Moonstone, Wilkie Collins - Not finished but intend to.
Feb 2011 - A Short History of Tractors in Ukraine - Very funny.
Jan 2011 - Ancestor Stones, Aminatta Forna - Don't know if I loved it or hated it. Found it confusing and would like to read again.
