I'm not allowed to buy any more books.

I have over 100 that I have bought and haven't read yet. My problem is I keep reading things that I've already read and don't get to read the new ones.

madsue,

The Holly book is brilliant - I understand why you havent read it but its a fathers story - it doesnt focus on the crime itself too much - its more of how it affected him and his family and living with the police in their house everyday and the media. Very interesting.

I too wish I had been clever enough to go into Forensics - Im a fan of Discover Channel and CSI - its so clever how they can catch someone with the smallest of evidence.

Joolz :wink:

Anyone read "A Brother's Journey" by Richard B Pelzer. He is the brother of David Pelzer "The Boy Called It" and it is about his life and what happened after his brother was taken into care. Couldn't put it down last night.

If We are back on this one, I am now on the Tony Benn diaries for 1991-2001 which are quite fascinating.

Just started a book I got for Christmas called "The Little Prisoner" by Jane Elliot.....true story of child abuse, think its going to be extremely harrowing. Just finished another Jodi Picoult "Samen Falls" - very good!!

Sandyglen and Bobian...I keep having to put it down, its horrific. But also riveting.

Oooh Numberplease- you lucky thing what a great present!! I always say Christmas isnt Christmas unless I get a book

The family all thought I was nuts asking for book tokens for Christmas, but like you and guest, Bobian, it`s MY idea of heaven as well. There are a few books on my wish list, and as I can`t afford to buy books all that often, the list has grown quite a bit. I may not get them all, because I don`t know if they`ve all gone to paperback yet, but I`ll get as many as I can.

Numberplease -Do let us know what you get! I am quite excited for you

Well, I haven`t spent all of my book tokens yet, but I`ve made a damn good start. I`ve got 3 biographies, "Just a Boy" by Richard McCann, the son of the Yorkshire Ripper`s first victim, "Too Many Mothers" by Roberta Taylor from The Bill, and "Behind Closed Doors" by Martine McCutcheon`s mum Jenny Tomlin. I also got the one remaining book by Dan Brown that I haven`t read, "Deception Point", "London Bridges" by James Patterson, "Straight into Darkness" by Faye Kellerman, "Private Eyes" by Jonathan Kellerman, and finally, "The Various Haunts of Men" by Susan Hill, an author I haven`t tried before, anyone else read anything of hers? I`ve just got to get the festivities over and done with now, then I can get down to some reading!
