Reading list [1]

At the weekend Kate asked me what I had read recently, and I struggled to remember. Rather embarassingly she gave me a lovely book journal for my birthday last year. To date it has two entries in it.

I had a look at the huge pile of stuff at my side of the bed, and a quick scan along the shelves in my study, and the list below is some of what I read in 2006. However, I tend to move on my books (fiction usually) fairly quickly - to friends or the local charity shop.

Kate - this is for you....it's in no particular order..not even alphbetical (o mi god!), but I have noted where something is non-fiction:

War crimes for the home - Liz Jensen
Number 5 - Glenn Patterson
Remember me - Trezza Azzopardi
Welcome to Temptation - Jennifer Crusie
The analyst - John Katzenbach
The righteous men - Sam Bourne
[NF]Perdita - Paula Byrne
[NF] Don't wake me at Doyles - Maura Murphy
Wish I may - Justine Picardie
The Apothecary's house - Adrian Mathews
[NF] Victorian London - Liza Picard
The equinox - Michael White

But do I need (for that read want) to read any of them? Haven't read a single one on your list which surprised me but I was somewhat reassured when I remembered I have read a different title by Liza Picard, Restoration London. Informative but possibly a bit irritating.....

Oh dear...I looked at the list, and hand on heart, I'm not sure I would recommend any of them. Oh woe...I must read more worthy books.
Liza Picard can have a slightly irrating, informal manner. I've read all her books - she writes about exactly "my" history period...they are at least the type of history book you can curl up with.
