I was just trying to read "The Secret Life of Bees" because I've heard 5-star reviews from basically everyone I've talked to, but unfortunately, I just couldn't get into it! It's on my unread shelf at the moment. We'll see if I can try again later.

I am about the tackle The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas. This was made into a brilliant TV series a couple of years ago (which I would happily watch again), so I am looking forward to reading the original novel at last. The premise - at a suburban barbecue, a man slaps a child who is not his own. This event has a shocking ricochet effect on a group of friends and relatives, who are all directly or indirectly influenced by the slaps.

Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh

Loved that book Fran - fascinating use of language that takes a bit of getting used to.

Now reading The Ring of Darkness #1 : Elven Blade by Nick Perumov, not sure what to think of it, it´s basically a Lord of the Rings "fanfic-sequel" written by a russian author in the 1990s, and the idea of a sequel to my all time favourite book written by the "wrong" author feels so, so wrong, but I try to think of it as fanfic and see where it goes.

I am currently reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I have wanted to read this for years and I am very excited to finally be reading this book,

I just finished Spring Tide by K. Dicke and I'm about to start Waiting for April by Jaime Loren. They're both for review and haven't actually been released yet!

[Talia on toast]

The Bronze Horseman Trilogy has taken over my life, again. Paulina Simmons is amazing, she brings history, war and love to such a vivid life that I find myself unable to function in normal daily life. I completely ensconce myself in her literature to the point of detrimental divorce threats from my husband.

But, for now, Tatiana and Alexander await my attentions.
