I don't read NL, I get talking books on CD from the Library and listen while I'm doing other things, or if I can't get to sleep or wake up too early.

Just read (listened to) Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner, worth reading

"Danielle Burton is the lone survivor of her family massacre over 25 years ago. She currently works in a children's psychiatric ward trying to help if not save children. It is fast approaching the 25th anniversary of the event and she feels powerless to stop all the old emotions from returning. In a nearby working class neighbourhood, a family is found dead. "

Since that melodramatic outburst from NL i'm wondering whether she has fulfilled her needs!!!
Is she still worrying about the clock of life?

I have just read all of Mo Hayders the walking man series enjoyed those.

Now reading a Jeffrey Deaver collection of short stories
and got loads of others I am getting thru!

any good recommendations pls
I am thinking of Harben Coben ones never read any

Apart from 50 Shades - which I couldn't possibly discuss here

Just read and thoroughly enjoyed - The Queens Fool.

Now - I'm not much into the history of our Kings and Queens, only really into the medieval stuff- I have really enjoyed reading this. A story based on real history.

Review on Amazon "A young woman caught in the rivalry between Queen Mary and her half sister, Elizabeth, must find her true destiny amid treason, poisonous rivalries, loss of faith, and unrequited love.

It is winter, 1553. Pursued by the Inquisition, Hannah Green, a fourteen-year-old Jewish girl, is forced to flee Spain with her father. But Hannah is no ordinary refugee. Her gift of "Sight," the ability to foresee the future, is priceless in the troubled times of the Tudor court. Hannah is adopted by the glamorous Robert Dudley, the charismatic son of King Edward's protector, who brings her to court as a "holy fool" for Queen Mary and, ultimately, Queen Elizabeth. Hired as a fool but working as a spy; promised in wedlock but in love with her master; endangered by the laws against heresy, treason, and witchcraft, Hannah must choose between the safe life of a commoner and the dangerous intrigues of the royal family that are inextricably bound up in her own yearnings and desires.

Teeming with vibrant period detail and peopled by characters seamlessly woven into the sweeping tapestry of history, The Queen's Fool is another rich and emotionally resonant gem from this wonderful storyteller."
