Ooh that’s exciting. Will be interested in your impressions
After reading the review of the story, I was looking forward to much doom and gloom. But after a few chapters, I closed the book. Nothing uplifting about the entire tale. Book will go to donations at my library.

I am three quarters though Trunk Music
I thought the two main characters very irritating.
Jane Eyre by her sister is much better.

If Woolf’s “the waves” are a metaphoric literary representation of the sea, wuthering heights is like an endless stormy night. Probably best enjoyed as a teenager sailing through the storms of adolescence.

All Charlotte’s books are fabulous

I can understand your way of thinking…Not enough of life’s experiences to hang on every word and deed yet.
Gone back to my childhood & pony books. Reading No Mistaking Corker by Monica Edwards at present. Finished reading Wish For A Pony & Fire In The Punchbowl, Got The Summer Of The Great Secret to read too, but haven’t bought any more from Amazon, sellers want too much for them. I love Monica Edwards books & she wrote a lot too.
Swallows and Amazons? I loved those books.

This one
Interesting, a little bit of social history. I picked it up from a kind of ’ honesty’ bookcase in the waiting room at Arundel station a few weeks back, popped a bit of coinage into the well anchored money box.
Hence the handy train ticket bookmark!
That’s a lovely book cover. This is one of my favourite novels, I have a paperback copy at home which I’ve read twice. I bought it over here and it’s luckily an original English version.
I grew to really love this story while studying it at secondary school, it was amongst the list of books on our A level syllabus - English Literature. 
Some good film versions available too.
Happy reading.

This one just popped through the door
Absolutely fascinating, observations on London social history. One that you can just dip into or read from cover to cover! Only £3.42 including postage secondhand from Amazon, in excellent condition!
I finished Angel Flight and have started Gone Before Goodbye by Harlan Coben and Reece Witherspoon.
Am always a bit wary of collaboration books but am enjoying this one very much, so far have read nearly half of it in one day.
I truly wish I had the luxury of reading a book at the moment. I’m unfortunately currently reading from the book of life.
Hi
That is so sad Annie.
I genuinely hope that things improve for you.
If you want, feel free to PM me.

Thank you
Just finished ‘Appeal’ by Lynda La Plante (Trial & Retribution series) very good - finished it in a few days, which is a record for me.
I like crime, but every now and again, i read something completely different. I bought a Sophie Kinsella book recently, as she seems to be very popular at the moment - it was so funny, i couldn’t stop laughing.
Back to Lynda La Plante for now - i have three waiting to be read at the moment.
