Not read any of your books but have The Historian on my tbr pile.

Your tbr pile will soon grow!!

 Maya Angelou - A song flung up to heaven

Maya Angelou - All gods children need travelling shoes (read this quite a few years ago but remember enjoying this autobiographical series - never heard of the one above -is it autobiographical too?

Kathy Reichs - Death du Jour (haven't read this one but read and enjoyed a lot of her books)

Tess Gerritsen - The Apprentice (my first swap!!!!) - there used be a challenge thread for people to get round to reading their first swap as a lot of us tended to neglect our first swaps and just got addicted to swapping and gabbing on here - nothing has changed!  Let's see how long it takes you to read this one..

Donna Tartt - The Little Friend (tried a few times but never got into - deserves one more try i think!) loved The Secret History and this one was okay, a bit of a disappointment for me after the brilliance of her first book :-(

Charles Frazier - Cold Mountain - took me a while to get into but it wasn't bad

R j Ellory - A quiet belief in Angels ( like the sound of this one - have you read anything else by him?  Just asking cos I haven't!)

The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova ( not a bad concept but much tooooooooo long)

Lee Child - Die trying

Zadie Smith - On Beauty

Cloud Atlas - (can't get into this either - one more try before i stick it on the swap list!) A bit of a marmite book, love it or hate it...I personally really liked it but if it didn't grip me I would have put it onto swap list

You have an interesting mix of books there - I like it!!

Tess Gerritsen's one of my favourites - that whole series, including The Apprentice is great.  I gave up on Donna Tartt, and life's too short for Cloud Atlas!  Reading the RJ Ellory at the moment: it was a slow starter and I wasn't at all sure I was going to like it, but I'm now totally hooked.  The Historian's one of my all-time favourites - a bit like Shadow of the Wind in style, if you ever tried that, not an easy read but worth the effort...

 Maya Angelou - All gods children need travelling shoes (read this quite a few years ago but remember enjoying this autobiographical series - never heard of the one above -is it autobiographical too?  yes its the last one in the series!

Tess Gerritsen - The Apprentice (my first swap!!!!) - there used be a challenge thread for people to get round to reading their first swap as a lot of us tended to neglect our first swaps and just got addicted to swapping and gabbing on here - nothing has changed!  Let's see how long it takes you to read this one..

R j Ellory - A quiet belief in Angels ( like the sound of this one - have you read anything else by him?  Just asking cos I haven't!) no its my first time i've read anythign by him - i;ve read so many good reviews for it though!

jlo25:

I've decided that i will only put books on here that I actually have in my possession!  Here it goes.....

 Maya Angelou - A song flung up to heaven

Maya Angelou - All gods children need travelling shoes... I love Mayalou...she writes so profoundly

Kathy Reichs - Death du Jour.....have read but not my genre

Tess Gerritsen - The Apprentice (my first swap!!!!)....have read but didn't want to read anymore, again not my genre

Donna Tartt - The Little Friend (tried a few times but never got into - deserves one more try i think!)...not read

Charles Frazier - Cold Mountain.....prefered the film, the book is a bit slow

R j Ellory - A quiet belief in Angels..this one looks interesting

The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova.....on my tbr

Lee Child - Die trying...not read

Zadie Smith - On Beauty.....read this a while ago..it was ok, better than white teeth !

Cloud Atlas - (can't get into this either - one more try before i stick it on the swap list!).....on my tbr

 Wow thats not too bad is it?  I know I've got a few more upstairs but will add them later!  Anyone read any - any thoughts?

Kathy Reichs - Death du Jour

Tess Gerritsen - The Apprentice

and the historian and all on my tbr list aswell :D

Tess Gerritsen - The Apprentice (my first swap!!!!) I just love her books. You might want to read The Surgeon first as that is the first one in the series

Death Du Jour   Kathy Reichs  read all her books excellent

The Apprentice  Tess Gerritsen another excellent read

Die Trying  Lee Child another of my favourite authors well worth reading.

Hi jlo! That's a respectable enough TBR! I've read a few of yours.

The Apprentice - an excellent read, great thriller

The Little Friend - tried to get into it so many times but couldn't finish it, not as good as Secret History

Cold Mountain - a wonderful read, so beautifully phrased and very moving

Quiet Belief in Angels - on my TBR too!

Donna Tartt - The Little Friend (tried a few times but never got into - deserves one more try i think!) - I loved Secret History but could not get into this at all. Not like me I must say!

R j Ellory - A quiet belief in Angels - I fancy this but not heard a lot about it.

The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova - I started this but the description was far too long winded for me. I'm sure it is a good read once you get passed that though. I did really like the idea of the story.

Marian Keyes - Angels (a swap!) /  Sushi for beginners - I really enjoyed Angels and have Sushi for Beginners on my TBR. I love Marian Keyes in general though.

Paul Britton - The Jigsaw Man - Working for the Police, I loved this. It is really interesting to see how he can describe the type of person who would commit such horrific crimes. I've got his second novel on my TBR.
