67

A town like alice by neville shute. Loved it, so much more to the book than the film.

60-66

60-65 - other 6 princess diaries books. Goodness me, what a load of drivel. Each one took me an hour maximum to read and I wasnt very impressed at the story or the characterisation. 66 however was something different - also a YA novel, also with a romantic theme, but this time I was drawn into the story, cared more about the main characters and wanted to know what happened to them. The Princess Diary books are already in the Sale box under my bed but The Morning Gift by Eva Ibbotson is a keeper and one I would be happy for my daughter to read once she has the ability.

56-59

56- Somebody to love by Grace Slick

Rock and roll memoir full of the typical drugs and sex you would expect. Quite interesting although I suspect I would have enjoyed it more if I had been aware of who the author was before I started the book!

57-59 -First three Princess Diaries books. I have six more still to read.
They arent fabulous and I wont be holding onto them for my daughter to read once I have finished.

The Kabul Beauty School

Quick read, very enlightening about the conditions for women in Afghanistan. Didnt feel like I particularly got to know the narrator or the subjects though, the book tended to jump about a bit and I lost track of what was happening and who was who and whose horrific life story was being summarised in a page.

Put What Where? Over 2000 years of bizarre sex advice.

Very funny, quite repetitive but a nice quick easy read. Some of it made me cringe and cross my legs however!

51-3

The Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce. For some reason I can only post and not fiddle with any of the bits around the side and bottom of the blog. Probably for the best anyway, have started writing dooyoo reviews again for extra £££ so should concentrate on that rather than endlessly fiddling with this blog!

47-9

Another 3 No 1 ladies detective agency books.

45-6

Next two No 1. Ladies Detective Agency books.

40-43, 44

First four No 1 Ladies Detective Agency books.

Wolfking by Bridget Wood

Cross between post-apoc, romance and Celtic mythology

Join Me By Danny Wallace

Funny and readable tale about a man who idly decided to see how many people he could get to sign up to something they knew nothing about. Once it became popular he was forced to try and decide what it was they were supposed to do (do a good deed every Friday) and let it run away with itself. Very good
