    Re: sams tbr FINALLY

    Picture Perfect; My Sister's Keeper - Picoult Want to read both of these.

    Salem Falls; Plain Truth; Vanishing Acts; Perfect Match; Second Glance; Keeping Faith - Picoult Have read all of these and really enjoyed, particularly Second Glance, Vanishing Acts, Plain Truth and Salem Falls.

    Mercy; The Pact - Picoult Read these two but didn't enjoy very much. They're written very well but the characters really annoyed me.

    Nineteen Minutes - Picoult On my TBR

    Wuthering Heights - Brönte TBR

    Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell Want to read

    Jazz - Toni Morrison Started reading but didn't really get into it. I loved Beloved, though.

    Sleep Pale Sister - Joanne Harris WTR

    Cage of Stars - Jacqueline Mitchard WTR

    The Book Thief - Marcus Zusak WTR

    The Sixth Wife - Suzanne Dunn Looks interesting, but I think it has quite a few bad reviews so I'm not sure.

    The Butterfly House - Marcia Preston WTR

    Pay It Forward - Catherine Ryan Hyde Loved this, really interesting concept.

    The Little Friend - Donna Tartt WTR

    The Memory Keeper's Daughter - Kim Edwards WTR

    The Constant Princess; The Queen's Fool - Philippa Gregroy WTR

    The Other Boleyn Girl; The Boleyn Inheritence - Philippa Gregory Read both and loved both! Need to get my own copy of the first one as I'd love to read it again.

    Re: sams tbr FINALLY

    The Little Friend by Donna Tartt - Brilliant book, really reminded me of To Kill a Mockingbird. An Interpretation Of Murder by Jed Ruebenfield - Stopped reading it half way through. It was a great idea but it bored the hell out of me.

    Second Glance

     Jodi Picoult The only one of hers I’ve read – enjoyed it
    Mercy   On my TBR
         
    Wuthering Heights  Bronte Gave up on this one
         
    Emma  Austen Lovely
         
    Labyrinth Kate Mosse Read this on holiday earlier this year.  It took some reading but was worth it
    Sepulchre   On my TBR
         
    The Da Vinci Code Dan Brown I read it because everyone else did but haven’t been tempted to try any of his others.
         
    Gone With The Wind  Margaret Mitchell Just marvellous, don’t expect to be reading anything else for a month but it is worth it
         
    A short History of Tractors in Ukrainian  Marina Lewycka Ok, I wasn’t overly impressed.
         
    The Alchemist  Paulo Coelho On my TBR
         
    Nectar Lily Prior A naughty and silly tale – but great reading!
    La Cucina    On my TBR and I expect it to be more of the same
         
    Coastliners Joanne Harris Simple love story
    Gentlemen and Players   Intriguing story line
    Jigs and Reels   Collection of short stories – I’ve read a few of them
    Blackberry Wine   On my TBR but I’m wary of trying it because I understand it’s a bit odd
    Sleep Pale Sister   On my TBR
    The Evil Seed                      Not tracked this down yet
         
    Life of Pi  Yann Martel On my TBR, must read it one day
    The Book Thief  Marcus Zusak Lovely
         
    Perfume  Patrick Suskind Weird but wonderful
         
    The Little Friend  Donna Tartt On my TBR
         
    The Tenderness of Wolves  Stef Penney Really, really good, one of my favourites this year
         
    The Food of Love  Anthony Capella Good but I preferred The Wedding Officer and am currently, really enjoying his third book.  They are not a series though
         
    The Interpretation of Murder  Jed Rubenfield I enjoyed this but thought it a bit over complicated.
