The Rules
- Every book must be started and finished in 2012.
- Once you have read a book, post it in here and I will edit the list in the OP. It will save people scrolling through posts to see which books have been read.
- A book can only appear once on the list.
- Kids books can be included as long as it is a proper book and not 'Run Spot, Run'
For example:
1) Gypsy Boy by Mikey Walsh - not as good as the first - 6/10
^^^^^ This is only an example and not included as I read it last year.
The List
1) The Picture Book by Jo Baker - not as good as I expected from the reviews. 6/10
2) A Winter's Tale by Trisha Ashley - not demanding but very enjoyable. 8/10
3) Confessions of a GP - Benjamin Daniels - lighthearted but interesting. 8/10
4) I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith - I love this book so much, has lovely character studies - shame it gets tucked away amongst the teen fiction in bookshops. 10/10
5) Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton - A nerdtastic roaaarrr! Actually better than the film. 6/10
6) Appointment With Death - Agatha Christie - Christie at her best and typically Poirot does not appear until about half way through so very different to screen adaptions. 8/10
7) Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult - Very thought provoking and well written, couldn't put it down. 9/10
8) Great Expectations - Charles Dickens - an excellent book, there is a reason this is a classic, Characters are believable, they develop well and the story is extremely well put together. 9/10
9) Something from Tiffany's - Melissa Hill - Was expecting a typical romance book but gave a few more twists than expected. 7/10
10) Destiny- Louise Bagshawe - A nice easy read which kept my attention - not bad for chick lit. 8/10
11) The Host - Stephanie Meyer - Much better than expected - finished it in no time! 9/10
12) Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami. Reading this is like being on acid, it turns the real world into a metaphysical mindf*ck. 8/10
13) The Year She Fell - Alicia Rasley - Got me hooked from the start and had several twists along the way, free on kindle too! 8/10
14) 3096 Days - Natascha Kampucsh - Ok and some good and honest insights into how she feels about the situation but goes off on a tangent alot. 6/10
15) Wife Interrupted - Amy Malloy - A moving real life story of a 23 year old widow. I cried the whole way through - 9/10
16) Monday Mourning - Kathy Reichs - Usual fare from forensic anthropologist crime writer but trots along at a good pace and the forensic detail is interesting. Kept me entertained during the commute. 7/10.
17) Me Before You - Jojo Moyes - Absolutely hooked, not your usual chick lit book, had me crying my eyes out for the last 5 chapters. 9/10
18) The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - Stieg Larsson - Fantastic end to the trilogy, couldn't put it down. Larsson is a genius. 9.5/10
19) Keeper of the Light - Diane Chamberlain - Unputdownable, as always with DC, developed characters you can really get to know and a good bit of mystery. 10/10
20) The Red Queen - Philippa Gregory - A bit repetitive and samey in places, but nonetheless still a very good read! 7/10
21) Catching Fire (Hunger Games) - Suzanne Collins - An excellent follow up to the Hunger Games - Katniss Everdeen is a brilliant heroine back once more in the Quarter Quell. 9/10
22) Mockingjay (Hunger Games) - Suzanne Colling - The last of the Hunger Games Trilogy. Not as good as the first two, a bit boring in some places, but an unexpected and brilliant ending! 8/10
23) Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte - WOW WOW WOW Loved this book :-) re-read the end a few times and have completely fallen in love with Mr Rochester :-) 10/10
24) Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen - A slower start than I'd have thought, but I was hooked after about the halfway point 7/10
25) My Sister's Gift by Giselle Green - Story about a woman being a sister for her surrogate and the fallout from this, fairly good read. 8/10.
26) A Bride for Tom by Ruth Ann Nordin - Very short and the title tells you the whole story! wouldn't read again. 5/10.
27) Minding Frankie - Maeve Binchy - Really good story of a aloholic man who has to change his life when he finds out hes a father. 9/10
28) Belle - Lesley Pearce - Marked down as it is just too long, the author uses 300 words when 50 would do, way too expressive, sex descriptions just cringeworthy! But one of those authors I read out of habit 7/10
29) The Promise of Happiness - Erin Kay - Easy going well written book by a new Irish author; quite early-Cathy-Kelly in style. 8/10
30) Manhattan - Ronni Cooper - Written by someone who works in the music industry, bit uncomfortable to read at times due to scenes of abuse, similar to Jackie Collins. Not as good as her first book 'Rock Chicks'. 8/10
31) The Birds and the Bees - Milly Johnson - Utter drivel, predictable from the start (perfect for a lazy afternoon in the sun!). 4/10
32) A Girl's Guide to Homemaking - Amy Bratley - Disappointing. Much less original and more chick-litty than I thought it woud be. 4/10
33) Slices of Night - Erica Spindler, J.T Ellison and Alex Kava - Story was ok, was split into 3 with each author taking a third didnt rate that too much changed the feel of the story too much. 6/10
34) The One you Love - Paul Pilkington - Good story, fast paced but the ending a bit disappointing. 7/10
35) Run - Blake Crouch - Loved it, good story and kept my attention. 9/10
36) What The Dog Saw: And Other Adventures - Malcolm Gladwell - Short essays which prompt pub-based conversation: highlights include why criminal profiling is rubbish, why 9/11 was unpredictable, the true value of mammograms and, in reference to the title, why Cesar Millan is such a good dog whisperer. 8/10
37) Twilight - Stephanie Meyer - Loved the film but the book is even better, I couldn't put it down! 9/10
38) Life and Laughing - Michael Mcintyre - Really boring, only read whilst in bath as it couldnt hold my attention at all. Not funny at all! 3/10
39) Are We There Yet? - Ben Hatch - Really funny, had me laughing out loud. One families adventure round Britain, the parents with a 3 and 1 year old. Good light hearted fun read. 8/10
40) Can I Have Your Attention Please? - James Cordon - Good read, more serious than I thought it would be. 8/10
41) Falling Star - Diana Dempsey - Slow starter but got going from half way, slightly predictable, easy read. 7/10
42) The Help - Kathryn Stockett - A brilliant book, very thought provoking and an amazing read .. this should be on every book shelf (or kindle list) - 10/10
43) The Clever One - Helena Close - A tale of a dysfunctional (from the point of view of the 16 year old narrator) Irish family. I needd to care about the charatcers to enjoy a book and I did with this lot. Am VERY glad not to be 16 though! 8/10
44) When God Was a Rabbit - Sarah Winman - Didn't live up to the hype. 7/10
45) How I Won The Yellow Jumper - Ned Boulting - Very funny, brilliant if you like the Tour de France. 9/10
46) One Day - David Nicholls - Absorbing, touching story. One day over 20 years, sounds ridik but totally works. Great character development. 8/10
47) Kate's Wedding - Chrissie Manby - Disclaimer: Given by a relative who thought as I'm getting married I'd appreciate a book about getting married. Predictable, dull, cheesy trash. 3/10
48) Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Mayer - Read the series a pathetic 8 times now but truly one of the best love stories I've ever read. Makes me hate OH for a week after. 9.5/10
49) Gangs - Ross Kemp - Very good and an eye opener, makes you realise how lucky you are. 8/10
50) Lord of The Rings, Volume 1, The Fellowship of the Ring - JRR Tolkien - One of my favourite books of all time and I love re-reading it. Rich cast of characters, good vs evil, hope and friendship, triumph over adversity and an epic journey. LOVE. IT. 9/10
51) LOTR Volume 2 - The Two Towers - JRR Tolkien - More of the same. Genuine build up of tension and sense of impending doom (even though you know how it ends). Very atmospheric. 9/10
52) Dexter in the Dark - Jeff Lindsay - Not the best one in the series, but love the tv series, started to read the books, not so gripping but still a good read out of the series. 7/10
53) You're the One that I Don't Want - Alexandra Potter - Mildly entertaining but too long, thin plot and written in an overly-sarcastic Office style, which is ok but not when it goes on throughout the whole book. Wouldn't recommend. 6/10
54) Tell No One - Harlan Coben - Gripping. Although you had an idea how the story may develop still had some twists that kept you guessing. 9/10
55) The Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin - Timothy Snyder - Incredibly difficult to read because of the account of human suffering - he really brings the victims to life - but also an innovative look at 20th century communism and nationalism. 10/10
56) The Little White Horse - Elizabeth Goudge - Though this may be mostly for nostalgic reasons. It's a children's book, and was one of my favourites as a youngun. 9/10
57) Minus Nine to One - Jools Oliver - A bit rubbish. Didn't take to her writing style at all. It had been recommended, and I'm devouring all things baby related at the moment, but didn't really enjoy this. 4/10
58) She Wolves - Helen Crastor - Quite facual rather than a story but a very interesting narrative of Queens in history- by the end of the first 'queen' I was hooked! 8/10
59) Frostbite - Richelle Mead
60) Shadow Kiss - Richelle Mead
61) Blood Promise - Richelle Mead
62) Spirit Bound - Richelle Mead
63) Last Sacrifice - Richelle Mead
64) Small island - Andrea Levy - Not as good as I expected but still an enjoyable read. 6/10
65) The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins - Thrilling story, couldn't wait to get to the end to find out what happened. Not always fast paced but intriguing. 9/10
66) Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah - Great storyline but a few of the characters became a little bit too annoying and hard to empathise with. 8/10
67) Dead Like You - Peter James - Best book I've read in a long, long time. Gripping crime thriller with lots of twists & turns. 10/10
68) The Garden Party - Sarah Challis - Mildly entertaining but I wanted to slap ALL the characters! 5/10
69) Ill Wind - Rachel Caines - Couldn't put it down, not one to help me fall asleep at night.
70) The Retribution - Val McDermid - Another fantastic addition to the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series. I was disappointed as a reader in the ending because it was not the one I was hoping for, but I understand it. I just hope one day that (story-wise) Tony and Carol finnnnnnnnnnnally get it together!! 10/10
71) The Mistress Affair - Kate Silver - Borefest!!! An awful basis for a story, with undeveloped characters that you do not care about and come across as shallow and pathetic. 0/10
72) Sense of an Ending - Julian Barnes - Brilliant - haunting and wise, dizzyingly wonderful. A nostalgic and sad story full of grounding humanity.10/10
73) A Visit From the Goon Squad - Jennifer Egan - Absolutely breathtakingly frabjous! Really, truly great - in form an accomplishment, and in story it somehow managed to explain how time passing feels with such clarity 10/10
74) Fractured - Karin Slaughter - A really gripping thriller by one of my favourite crime thriller writers. As well as the main plot (murder of a teenage girl, the abduction of another), several smaller sub-plots about the various relationships between characters flow together seamlessly, and helps you get to the know the characters. One of the things I loved most about this book, is the fact you get a twist in the opening few chapters, when it becomes clear all is not as it first seems. You read the first few chapters thinking the plot is going one way, and then 'bam', it changes course. Great stuff. 9/10.
75) The Etymologicon - Mark Forsyth - Brilliant brilliant book, all about where words come from and how they all link together. Each chapter is written like a little tale and links to the next, and written with a brilliant sense of humour. Fascinating! 10/10
76) More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea - Tom Reynolds - Funny and definitely worth a read. 9/10
77) Fear and loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S Thompson - Quite a difficult read but apparently easier when you've seen the film 6/10
78) Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman - Fantastic, if you know London it'll make you laugh at the the irony of things. A fantastic fantasy work by a fantastic author 9/10
79) Enduring Love - Ian McEwan - Fairly gripping although the climax was not a surprise, however had very interesting characters. 7/10
80) Heat Stroke - Rachel Caine - 2nd book in the Weather warden series, I thought after reading Morganville that these were books for teenagers, but maybe I am a bit of a prude, so with incest and S&M I hope not. Couldn't put it down but glad I had the next one down loaded because it is one of those books that goes straight into the next one.
81) Breaking the silence - Diane Chamberlain - Really enjoyed and you will too if you like Jodie Picoult. 9/10
82) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick - Enjoyed reading it. Good read, didn't want to put it down. 7/10
83) The Way Things Look To Me - Roopa Farooki - Loved this. Story of three young adult siblings, one of whom is autistic and the effect this and life has on all of them. They take it in turns to narrate so you get to see the same world from three points of view. 9/10
84) The Midwife's Confession - Diane Chamberlain - Very good - not to be read by expectant mothers as it is quite harrowing in places, the twists were fairly obvious but overall a very well written book; as others have said, DC is like Jodi Picoult but has a slightly simpler, easier-to-read style. Would recommend any of her books. 9/10
85) Never Look Away - Linwood Barclay - Gripping crime thriller, excellent read. 9/10
86) Chill Factor - Rachel Caine - Fairly racing through this series and enjoying it very much.
87) Who's Afraid of Mr Wolfe? - Hazel Osmond - Chick lit with a few twists and turns, kept me occupied for a few days. OK. 6/10
88) Destiny - Louise Bagshawe - Slightly more American in style than her usual books, but still very good, well-written, light-hearted although I do prefer her earlier, more meaty efforts. 7.5/10
89) 61 hours - Lee Childs - Good easy read 7/10
90) Beyond all Evil - June Thomsom and Giselle Ross - Story of two women whose husbands killed their children. How can I grade that?
91) A Stolen Life - Jaycee Dugard - Very interesting story, not brilliantly written. 7/10
92) The Penal Colony - Richard Herley - set in the future when prisoners are kept on islands around the UK rather than prisons. Similar to transporting them to Oz years ago. Story about how the prisoners set up their own villages - interesting comment on society. 7/10
93) The Dress - Sophie Nicholls - great story with lovely use of clothing and accessories to 'illustrate' feelings of the characters. 9/10
94) Call The Midwife - Jennifer Worth - Great read, finding out what it was like for expectant mother and midwives in post war London. Just abit disappointed by the end....it just ended. I wanted to know what happened to the other midwives. worth a read. 8/10
95) One of Our Thursdays is Missing - Jasper Fforde. Latest Thursday Next book- basically they continue to get mroe surreal with each installment, and are never as good as the first. 7/10.
96) This Perfect World - Suzanne Bugler - Theme of the repercussions of bullying fron the point of view of the perpetrator. And her pushy-parent friends. 8/10
97) You Can Run But You Can't Hide - by Duane Chapman aka Dog The Bounty Hunter - a interesting biography, if a little preachy at times it was completely honest. - 8/10
98) The Phantom of the Opera - nothing like the film or stage show, but okish none the less ... I probably wouldn't have finished it if it wasn't for this challenge. 3/10
99) The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton - My favourite book of all time, I can read it again and again and again, an amazing story. 10/10
100) Dead Tomorrow - Peter James - Another gritty page-turner from the crime novellist. Easy to get in to and impossible to put down! 10/10
101) The Various Haunts of Men - Susan Hill - very good, think early Ruth Rendell - the secret was out about whodunnit half way through, but that was the point - and then the tension built until the end. Couldn't put it down. 9/10
102) Trafficked - Sophie Hayes - I don't usually go in for these "woe is me" memoir style books, but I'm glad I took a chance. Amazing story which kept me gripped right to the end (I actually shouted at my book a few times). 10/10
103) Windfall - Rachel Caines
104) FRirestorm - Rachel Caines
105) Thin Air - Rachel Caines
106) Gale Force - Rachel Caines
107) Cape storm - Rachel Caines
108) Fortune House - Kirstie Scott - Not heard of the author before but I liked the blurb on the back so gave it a chance - it is a bit Joanna Trollope like, plot slightly wishy washy and there are one or two plots that never seem to come to anything, but on the whole I enjoyed it. 9/10
109) Through Thick and Thin - Gok Wan - Really moving. Funny, sad and interesting read it in a night! I love Gok anyway so that may be why I loved it too. The chinese recipes at the start of each chapter were a nice touch. 8/10
110) Eclipse - Rachel Caines - the last one in the weather warden series (you can tell I am on holiday ) enjoyed the whole series, and although it is all fantasy stuff i felt this last one might have pushed it a bit far, tied all the ends up neatly though and the right place to end before i got fed up of the characters.
111) Autobiography of a Geisha - Sadu Masuka - Very compelling and an insight into the not so glamerous life of a geisha. 8/10
112) Polgara the Sorceress - David Eddings - Very involved, moving at times, and generally a fascinating read. 8/10
113) Bloodlines - Richelle - Meade really enjoyed it then found it is a new series and book 2 isn't out till April 
114) The Distant Hours - Kate Morton - Very well written book, lots of detail, twists and good ending. Start reading it when you have a few days to spare! 10/10
115) The Dark - James Herbert - Some scary bits and kept me pretty hooked, not my favourite of his books though. 8/10
116) An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington - Made me laugh out loud but a lot of it is the stuff that is covered in the series although there are extra bits and it goes a bit more in depth. 9/10
117) The world of Karl Pilkington - Karl Pilkington - easy to read as it is loads of conversations, really funny. 9/10
118) Karlology - Karl Pilkington 9/10
119) Happyslapped by a Jellyfish - Karl Pilkington 9/10
120) Booky wook 2 - Russel Brand - An entertaining read and I like how he writes exactly how he speaks and he seems to tell you thinks honestly despite the fact that the don't really show him in a good light. 8/10
121) Creative Spirit - Scott Nicholson - Was OK keppt you hooked enough to get through it but was a bit far fetched and the twists weren't that shocking. 6/10
122) Troubled - Scott Nicholson -Kept you hooked and characters are intrieging (sp). 8/10
123) Broadmoor Revealed - Mark Stevens - Interesting insight but left you wanting more information on some patients. 7/10
124) Boy Racer - Mark Cavendish - Good read and keeps you intetested, I found his personality likeable but have no interest in cycling so some of it went a bit over my head 7/10
125) The Other Queen - Philippa Gregory - a good story with some interesting characters and a different perspective from usual. However, it's slower moving and less easy to like than her earlier ones. 6/10
126) All that Mullarky - Sue Moorcroft - Is "Choc lit" whatever that is, read the first chapter and thought no don't like it and stopped. came back to it a week later and read it all in one go.
127) The Time Travellers Guide to Medieval England - Ian Mortimer - Loved this - a non fiction factual account of what it was really like to live in the Middle Ages. History proper brought to life. 10/10
128) Dead Man's Footsteps - Peter James. Romped through this nail-biter, another 10/10.
129) The Royals - Kitty Kelley - Released before Princess Diana died, an insight into our Royal Family in a gossipy, expose way. Having been banned from being sold in this country by the Royal Family, it makes interesting reading and shows certain people's manipulative ways. 7/10
130) A Woman of Secrets - Amelia Carr - Exciting wartime action mixed with modern storyline, great 10/10
131) Dance With Wings - Amelia Carr - I like the way she weaves a few storylines together with a little twist at the end 9/10
132) A Song at Sunset - Amelia Carr. Another historical romance, gripping stories and characters 9/10
133) That Summer in Ischia - Penny Feeny - Quite good, enjoyable and atmospheric 8/10
134) Punished - Vanessa Steel - Really sad story of abuse, pretty hardgoing and very tragic and well-written 8/10
135) No More Silence - David Whelan - Another awful story of abused children but I did not enjoy the way he wrote 7/10
136) The Courage Tree - Diance Chamberlain - Great, love her work, lots of storylines twisting together and well written 9/10
137) Dear John - Nicholas Sparks - A great novel, really descriptive. I would have given it a higher mark if I hadn't seen the film first. I kept picturing the film and it ruined my interpretation of it 7/10
138) Headhunters, Jo Nesbo - hard to get into and hard to follow, with a confusing twist, or maybe that was just me being blonde, but a very good book nonetheless. 9/10
139) Tales From a Hen Weekend - Olivia Ryan - Good lighthearted book with lots of twists. Get to know each character well. 7/10
140) Dating a Cougar - Donna McDonald - Easy to read but very predictable. 7/10
141) The Child Inside - Suzanne Bugler - Bit of an unsympathetic "heroine" in that she has an affair and it's all about the fall out. Pretty realistic, I think! 9/10
142) Storm Born and - Richelle Mead
143) Thorn Queen - Richelle Mead - Urban fantasy which I enjoy but lots of graphic sex scenes which have got more as the books have progress. Unfortunately that has turned into a bit of a yawn factor and I am tending to skip those bits.
144) Cirque Du Freak - Darren Shan - Book 1 in the Darren Shan saga. A brilliant book about how Darren Shan becomes a vampire - 9/10
145) The Vampires Assistant - Darren Shan - Book 2 in the Darren Shan Saga - 10/10
146) Tunnels Of Blood - Darren Shan - Book 3 in the Darren Shan Saga - 9/10
147) Vampire Mountain - Darren Shan - Book 4 in the Darren Shan Saga - 9/10

153) The Lake of Souls - Darren Shan - Book 10 in the Darren Shan Saga - 6/10
154) Lord of the Shadows - Darren Shan - Book 11 in the Darren Shan Saga - 9/10
155) Sons of Destiny - Darren Shan - Book 12 in the Darren Shan Saga - 10/10
156) Birth of a Killer - Darren Shan - Book 1 in the Larten Crepsley Saga - 9/10
157) Oceans of Blood - Darren Shan - Book 2 in the Larten Crepsley Saga - 8/10
158) Palace of the Damned - Darren Shan - Book 3 in the Larten Crepsley Saga - 9/10
159) About Last Night - Adele Parks - started off slow, then got promising, then got boring - ...marking harshly as sometimes I wonder how these books get published! 6/10
160) Innocent Traitor - Alison Weir - Very moving novel based on Jane Grey's life. Wonderful depiction of characters and descriptions. 8/10
161) Dear Fatty - Dawn French - Pretty entertaining, some chapters much more interesting than others. 7/10.
162) Wife in the North - Judith O'Reilly - Loved this diary acccount of a woman and three small children whose husband thinks it would be a good idea to relocate to northumberalnd (while staying in his London job). Not at all "sicky-sweet/girly", more thoughtful and had me going "yes, I understnan that" at lots of points. 10/10
163) Iron Crowned - Richael Meade - 3rd in the series, less sex more story, much better.
164) The Ice Cream Girls - Dorothy Koomson - brilliant book, every book she writes is utterly gripping.
165) RSVP - Helen Warner - bit of wedding drama related fluff, nothing special but made for a good holiday read.
166) The Angel at No 33 - Polly Williams - really well written, touching in the right places but not overly depressing.
167) Crazy as Chocolate - Elizabeth Hyde - I never seem to get on too well with American books but enjoyed this one, about the fall out and lives of two sisters whose mother commits suicide. Not as glum as it sounds. 8/10
168) Katy Carter Wants A Hero - Ruth Saberton - A fab chicklit! Very funny, even if slightly predictable. 8/10
169) Christmas At Tiffanys - Karen Swan - A lovely warm, fuzzy Christmassy read. (Despite the fact I started it in January, after opening it as a late pressy). Lots of exciting twists and turns. 9/10
170) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - JK Rowling - I'm sure you all know the story by now... 8/10
171) Shadow Heir - last one in the Dark Swan series and probably the best, left me wanting more, which their isn't.
172) I Heart New York - Lindsey Kelk - Easy read with a nice flow from start to finish 6/10
173) Succubus Blues - Richelle Mead. I really enjoyed it and unlike the reviews on Amazon didn't know who dunnit till near the end.
174) Not Dead Enough - Peter James - another in the DS Roy Grace series. Extremely well written, even though the plot is always revealed mid-way, it is so cleverly and well-written that you don't notice/care. Brilliant. 10/10
175) Stormbreaker - Anthony Horrowitz - A good introduction to the teenage spy - 7/10
176) Point Blanc - Anthony Horowitz - One of my least favourite books, but sets up some good twists later in the series - 5/10
177) Skeleton Key - Anthony Horowitz - Another great story about the teenage spy 
- 7/10
178) Eagle Strike - Anthony Horrowitz - A quick read, but one of the most predicable books - 6/10
179) Scorpia - Anthony Horowitz - A fantastic book, one of my favorites, as Alex Rider turns to the dark side - 8/10
180) Ark Angel - Anthony Horowitz - A little unbelieveable ending, but overall not too bad - 7/10
181) Snakehead - Anthony Horrowitz - Brilliant book, wiht amazing twists that I didn't see coming - 9/10
182) Scorpia Rising - Anthony Horrowitz - A fantastic ending to the series, but with something that I never saw coming! 10/10
183) Me and Mr Darcy - Predicable chick lit 5/10
184) Dead Man's Grip - Peter James - the last so far in the Grace series, a bit more graphic than usual, but still very well written and drops a few more clues on his ongoing mystery... 10/10
185) The Secret of Happy Ever After - Lucy Dillon - Too long by about half. 6/10
186) The Devils colony - James Rollins - Really enjoyed reading it. Better than his more recent ones. 8/10
187) Ten Reasons Not to Fall in Love - Linda Green - A good easy read, classic chick lit - six hours from start to finish! 7/10
188) The Slap - Christos Tsiolkas - Too much sex and swearing without context, a good idea but plot let it down. 6/10
189) The Woman in Black - Susan Hill - Brilliant short story, havent seen the film but will now! 9/10
