I'm reading my 11th Agatha Raisin book now.

Agatha Raisin And The Love From Hell.

Agatha has finally married her handsome neighbour James, but it's not exactly "Happily ever after" James has gone missing and the police think Aggie, might have murdered him.

I've seen a couple of episodes, but the books are better.

I'm now on book number 12 and i was rather creeped out, when I discovered the identity of the murderer in book 11.

Ah ok - I have not read the books or seen the telly show but I thought you might be interested.

I have only read the first Agatha Raisin book The Quiche of Death but I have two more by my bedside. I keep seeing them in charity shops. After I read mine I passed it to a friend who was going to Madeira on holiday. She is in a very high powered job and finds it hard to switch off but she said she read it and loved it as it was perfect holiday reading and something different. She has now bought more!

1st, chapter of The Bulletproof Diet, DAVE ASPREY. Lectins... Phytates... Oxalates... Mold Toxins... Basically; all disease is caused by inflammation.

Did read letters of a stoic a few months ago by Seneca. And Tony Buzan's the power of verbal intelligence... Thoroughly enjoyed both!

I've been a very naughty Cherry. STILL on Patrick Süskind's 'Perfume'. It's a wonderful book, but I keep re-reading chapters. The imagery is just beautiful - the descriptions of smells are just amazing. I've been on the book on-and-off for about a year and a half now - and it's not a huge one.

I'm a bit of a book hopper though, I'll usually have a few on the go, as they seem to travel around with me - bedside cabinet to toilet, to bus, to bag, in this revolving cycle of picking up whichever one's nearest!

Have you ever read any Stephen King stuff Cherry?

[Nucks]

I've just started 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes. It was given to me by a friend who said she couldn't get into it. I'll give it a fair shake, but it's not normally the kind of book I'd choose. I have the Game of Thrones books to get through at some point as well. I also like rereading books from years ago, The Hobbit and the Harry Potter series are always on my nightstand.

Hotel K by Kathryn Bonella. It's about a prison in Bali. If you've not read or watched much about foreign prisons it's an eye opener. Next I'll be reading HATE by Matthew Collins about his time in the far right before switching sides to the far left. I haven't started it yet so don't know what it will be like.

I have! He sure has a dark mind.

Easy Meat : Inside Britain's Grooming Gang Scandal by Peter McLoughlin. It's about Muslim Pakistani grooming gangs who rape and give drugs and alcohol to underage White girls and Sikh girls in Britain. I've started reading it, it's harrowing.

Chick lit's not my thing either but Me Before You was a book group choice and, to be fair, is a pretty good example of the genre. It does suffer from some structural problems and, bafflingly, although the narrative is from various characters in the novel, the disabled bloke at the centre of the story does not get his own voice. Nevertheless, there is some terrifically evocative writing in it.
