Well it was a little better this month on the reading front. I managed to two novels. The first was 'girl on a Train' by Paula Hawkins, such an excellent premise to the story of a girl imagining the life of people she observes in their gardens and houses on her commute. Of course, it gets a little more complicated than this as it transpires she used to live on the street she observes and imagines and then one of the women she sees goes missing...
I was gripped. It was 'light' enough to keep my (sleep deprived) attention but gripping enough to draw me into the story.
The second novel was the new one by Mark Billingham. I really enjoy his Tom Thorne novels and again this was no exception.The last couple of novels have taken Thorne away from his job in the met but still 'fighting crime'. This one appealed to my more gruesome side! I'm hoping they'll make some more of them for TV - David Morrissey, in my mind is a super Tom Thorne.
So not bad for April.
In May I'm hoping to read Jay Rayner's novel The Apologist and Kate Atkinson's new book (when it's published...very excited!!).

I let my eyes glaze over when you talked about The Girl on the Train! Haha. That's because I have a hold on a copy from the library and it could be months before my turn comes up and I don't want to know anything yet! I can't wait to read it. I should just buy a copy but I'm cheap. :)
ReplyDeleteoh they both sound great reads, must add them to my list. I've just finished Kate Atkinsons Case Histories, looking forward to her new one very much!
ReplyDeleteI have literally finished reading The Girl on the Train this morning and I loved it and I will definitely be recommending it to friends and colleagues.

ReplyDeleteI have been dithering whether or not to read The Girl On The Train but I think you have convinced me. I can't cope with too much suspense.... Hope May is a good month for you and your family. Thinking of you. x
ReplyDeleteHey N,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Girl On A Train too. I have spent large portions of my life staring in other peoples windows. Not in a weird way, obvs. In a nosey way. And I was never ever drunk....
