    I'd defy anyone who loves books to join and end up with fewer on their TBR, it just isn't going to happen. Of you latest additions

    Annie Hawes    Extra Virgin - I loved this and have read the 2 sequels, have her other book on my TBR, about earlier travels in Morroco

    Sally Beauman - Rebecca's Tale - Another book I really enjoyed.

    I thought I'd been really restrained the last couple of weeks, but mooches from ages ago have started arriving.

    I'll get round to putting this in order or maybe by genre at some point, it's getting a bit unamanagable... the other option is to hurry up and read them all!

    Carlos Ruiz Zafon    The Angel's Game  Really want to read this; may have to purchase it at some point but not yet because I'm on a book-buying sabbatical!

    John Boyne    Crippen  This looks really good, want to read...I'm fascinated by true crime
    Charlaine Harris    Dead Until Dark  I love this series, and whilst this book is brill......
    Charlaine Harris    Dead To The World  ..........this one is my favourite!
    CJ Sansom    Dissolution   TBR
    Ian Fleming    Casino Royale  Really good, enjoyed it
    Ian Fleming    Live And Let Die   Another good one
    Ian Fleming    Moonraker   Wasn't that keen on this one

    Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows    The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society   One of the most wonderful books I've ever read! Read it, read it now!

    Audrey Niffenegger    The Time Traveler's Wife   Heartbreakingly beautiful

    Carlos Ruiz Zafon    The Shadow Of The Wind   My favourite book ever. J'adore!

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to categorize everything. Sorry if anything is under the wrong genre, where I've not known I've either gone with Amazon's opinion or bunged under modern/literary.

    Decided to get rid of the James Patterson books as not impressed with Along Came A Spider. Haven't been keeping my spreadsheet up to date so I've probably missed loads!
