As I've not commented here lately, I thought I'd do a December 'highlights' and take the opportunity to send some 'Thank You's' too .. Kindle Purchases :Imposter by L J Ross Hysteria by L J Ross Have you started the LJ Ross ones? I'm a huge fan but scared to deviate from DCI Ryan because of how much I love him. Hi Jess .. I've not yet, but my Mum has (also a huge Ryan fan) .. I bought these as there's a delay on Ryan #20 and they were reduced to 99p .. lol She says that there is a tiny cross over (Ryan is mentioned) and she really enjoyed them - she's also read one of the Cornwall Series and liked that too .. Go for it .. lol

The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell. I originally had this as a library book but couldn't finish it in time and wasn't able to renew as there were so many other reservations on it (I'd waited months for my reservation). So I bought my own copy.
All You Ever Wanted by Susan Elliott Wright - a giveaway win from the author's Facebook page.

Last year I counted all books in and out of my house to see if I am accumulating books or not... I ended up with 24 more books than I started with! So this year I have decided that only books that are on my wishlist can come in, or towards the end of the year books that fulfil categories in the 40/10/25 book challenge (because I will be reading them and therefore most likely will be moving them on. Already I have bought 4 books off my wishlist... The Beach Cafe - Lucy Diamond Bold as Love - Gwyneth Jones Pale Fire - Vladimir Nabokov Persepolis - Marjane Satrapi ...3 of them can definately be fitted into the 40/10/25 book challenge, and 2 I can pass onto my Mum.
