[quote=""Vanessa""]I've just started The Family Tree by Carole Cadwalladr. It's contemporary fiction which also harks back to the 1970s. Ford Capris and moonboots! LOL. Those were the days!

Oh my goodness they bring back memories! Still see the occasional Capri around - Essex was their spiritual home

- and it's a bit of a head-turner now!

I'm now reading "Murder in Steeple Martin" by Lesley Cookman.

We were all wearing swabby jeans and midi tops

Reading a romance at the moment, Untamed by Joan Dial. Earl's wife was given up for dead during a visit to the west, but she suddenly reappears very much alive 17 years later with a heir he didn't know he had to boot.

Vanishing point. I've had it on my shelf forever, and since I'm not working this summer I am going to plow through all the books I havent read in years.

Finished Game of Thrones which I brought on vacation and starting Tinkers which my sister gave me. Literary and interesting.

I finished the very dire Virgin King by Joseph Fullam that I picked up at the $.99 kindle price.

No, I am not kidding.

Starting When the Splendor Falls by Laurie McBain. Civil war romance, I believe there's some storyline out in New Mexico territory as well.

An Excellent Mystery by Ellis Peters. I haven't read a Brother Cadfael mystery in years and found that I had two unread ones. So read them, I will!

I've finished "The First Lady of Hollywood: A Biography of Louella Parson" by Samantha Barbas (361pgs, 2005)*. Louella was a distinctly dis-likable person, with some good traits, but not enough. A good and interesting book, and well written.

Im on the third book, rereading all of them before I get the fifth book. They are just as good as they were before, even if I know who gets killed when....

Well done for finishing it Misfit, I don't think I'd have got past the first 50 pages. Now there's Kindle books about, should there be a new word for wallbanger?
