Read at least one book a month

The Writing on the Wall’ by Lynne Reid Banks -
I have had this book a loooong time, I remember reading it in school and really enjoying it but havent read it since. I spotted it the other day and thought it was time to pick it up again. When I opened it up I realised it was actually a school library book (Sorry Mrs Harwood!) I read it in about two days as its not too long and easy reading. I cant say I enjoyed it as much this timie round and being a lot older but still a good book.

This completes another goal of mine as well, after all this time I have finally read Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome.
Its a classic and its quite obvious with the language and writing style though it still made me chuckle out loud at some points. It has its good bits but the other bits can be a bit windy.
I found you end up talking like an Englishman from 1890 after reading for ten minutes or so, as a warning! Im glad I read it but I dont know how soon I will be keen to read it again.

I have just finished reading the last Patricia Cornwell book (I think) All That Remains…It was alright. Yeah thats about it. It was alright. I would keep readin her books are they are pretty easy going and not taxing but I certainly wouldnt shell out for them (Unless I get them at the red cross again)

I have also read Dracula in ‘LättSvenska’ which was pretty smooth but certainly more of a challenge for me to read. I have a whole armful of books to read in Swedish and Im looking forward to it.

Last nigth I finished reading ‘Dirty White Boys’ by Stephen Hunter. I read it about three days and its the best book I have read in a long long time. I have spend ages looking for authors who I actually enjoy reading and I think I have found one. Im a bit gutted to find out the library only has this one in stock so I might have to buy cheap copies from ebay now that I have realised the story continues, or should I say backstory.
Its quite a violent book, not one for the tender minded, and also stars a lot about guns, which has lead to some interesting conversations in the apartment.
I have also read Hellblazer Fear and Loathing by Ennis and Dillon, which has inspired my Preacher goal :D

Trace by Patricia Cornwell,
Number three of the four books I have, though I doubt I am reading them in the right order as one guy is alive in this book that was dead in the last. Still this is the best one I have read so far of the tree and I enjoyed it. The ending was a little weak again but not terrible. It seems the book doesnt focus so much on the catching of criminals as more on the forensics and mental work to get there, which is okay for me.
The next one is a Kay Scarpetta one then its definatley a case of getting a library card as Im not quite in the frame of mind to read Swedish books yet, and the person who stocks English books at the library seems to have great taste! :)

Southern Cross by Patricia Cornwell
This is my second book in four I have to read by Patricia Cornwell, I didn’t realise it wasnt part of the Kay Scarpetta series but it…...it wasn’t really good but better than the last. I still not overly impressed, buteasier to read than John Grisham I think.
I’m also planning to look on bookcrossing.com in the next couple of days. i think it would be a really good way of getting hold of second hand english books.

‘Black Notice’ by Patrica Cornwell
I bought a few Patrica Cornwell books from the local Red Cross shop . I was surprised to find they have an English section, and picked up a couple of books for 5:- each (35p 17 cents…ish) I was quite enjoying the book…but then it all came to the end with not much of….well not much of an event. It was a bit….oh. Reminded me a little bit of the Dean Coontz book I read where it seems he got bored of writing it and finished it all in one chaper or few pages. I’m going to read the rest but this was a little bit dissapointing.
