I am reading Dead and Buried by Stephan Booth, and And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. Hosseini's novel is the best of his 3! Stephen Booth's series keeps getting better! Happy happy!

I've been dithering over "Dead and Buried" so let me know how you get on with it. I used to read Stephen Booth but thought some of the later books went off the boil a bit; a shame as I don't think you could beat him for atmosphere. I always found Diane Fry a bit of a misery though, and felt her character wasn't really going anywhere.

I didn't know the sequel was out! I liked Wulfgar in The Bone Thief, I thought he was quite a sweetie! I might look it out from the library.
I'm just about to start Life After Life by Kate Atkinson.

Mary, Queen of France by Jean Plaidy, haven't read a Plaidy book in years and years. I don't think I ever read this one.
