I've read: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and there are many on the list I still want to read! Booklover Book Reviews

I did not enjoy God of Small Things and nor did another person I know who read it expecting great things. The review I wrote for it on my blog says it all: BOOK REVIEW : Now I know this won the Booker Prize and it received rave reviews, but I was really disappointed by it - perhaps I'd...

I've only read B is for Burglar so far, but I really enjoyed it and plan to read more of her titles.

KICK BACK by Val McDermid My Review: My new favourite private-eye! McDermid has created a wonderfully real and feisty female character in Kate Brannigan PI - she has no fear and is not afraid to call a spade a spade. This story rockets along with mystery and mayhem interspersed with some...

I'm a fan of her Kate Brannigan PI series.

IMPROVISING CARLA by Joanna Hines My Review : Another amazing book by Joanna Hines (see my review on 'Surface Tension' also) - she really deserves to be much more well known. This story is deep, complex and gripping. Hines has an uncanny ability to achieve two things with her writing - craft...

SURFACE TENSION by Joanna Hines My Review : This is the first book I've read from Joanna Hines and now I'm hooked on this author. She has a beautiful writing style, just enough descriptive detail to paint the scene but not so much that it gets in the way of the story. Hines' characters are...

I really, really enjoyed this book - one of those stories where the characters stay with you long after you've finished reading. Booklover Book Reviews

THE UNICORN ROAD by Martin Davies MY REVIEW : Beautiful from cover to composition. The cover art was what originally attracted me as it sat on my bookstore bargain shelf, but when I began reading I was pleasantly surprised to find the writing style inside the book just as artful. Davies sets...

Great to see so many fellow fans of Kostova's work - look forward to sharing reviews of The Swan Thieves.

I've just started reading The Unicorn Road by Martin Davies. If I'm honest, it was the beautiful cover art that initially attracted me, but as I've begun reading I've found the writing style to be beautiful also. Davies really paints a picture with his words with passages such as: If you've...

I absolutely loved Kostova's first novel 'The Historian' when I read it a few years back and can't wait to read her new one, 'The Swan Thieves' (I have pre-ordered a copy but still have a few more weeks to wait). Has anyone been given a pre-release copy? If so, is it as good as I'm hoping it...

Very controversial... think I'm going to have to watch this movie...

'Burn Your Name' from Powderfinger's new album Golden Rule

If you're after a suspense thriller written by a woman I don't think you can go past Joanna Hines. I've read and reviewed two of her novels, 'SurfaceTension' and 'Improvising Carla' and they were both excellent. Bookwordlover @ Booklover Book Reviews

Hi from Aus! I just registered. I love reading and have been blogging book reviews for a few months now (Booklover Book Reviews on blogspot), and thought I'd join in the discussions. I like a range of genres from chicklit through to mysteries, crime and thrillers. Look forward to bumping...
