lovemonster said:Cheers Trala....I've enjoyed them all thoroughly![]()
trvllady said:Same here - when I got home last night from the lake mine had been delivered. I am about 125 pgs in atm![]()
lovemonster said:I've finished it. Good ending, although a slight anti-climax....mind you, that's probably more to do with the knowledge it's the last book than anything else...

trvllady said:Will bear that in mind as I make my way through.
Gotta run for now......have a good day everyone![]()

higherlevel4u said:I was only kidding, ladies, about Harry Potter ....
On a side note, I visited Lacock Abbey, in Wiltshire, when I was holiday .... where they filmed many of the scenes from Harry Potter ....![]()
lovemonster said:We believe you....
Did you recognise any places or have you not seen the films?
higherlevel4u said:I recognise them from stills I had seen .... I haven't read any of the books or seen any of the films, I'm afraid .... my kids are too old for Harry Potter ....![]()
lovemonster said:You don't need an excuse to read them, the great thing about her books is they have appeal for all ages.
First couple are definitely aimed at the younger teens but they get much darker as they go on, certainly not for young kids.

higherlevel4u said:I'm sorry, it just doesn't interest me enough to try it ....![]()
lovemonster said:Fair enough, if the man's not for turning....![]()

higherlevel4u said:It's like these role-playing computer games, dungeons and dragons, all that .... doesn't interest me at all .... I'm much more into mindless violence ....![]()
lovemonster said:LOL...me either...
Having said that, I didn't think it would interest me much, picked up the first book to have a peruse and got hooked..
So in what area do your literary forays lie then?
higherlevel4u said:I'm into detective/thriller that sort, also the slightly weird, like Stephen King, one of my all time fave authors ... I'm into the forensic pathology genre at the moment .... Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs etc ....![]()
lovemonster said:Oh, I love crime thrillers...have you tried Johnathan Kellerman? Also Lee Childs is very good...
If you like weird stuff, have you read any Dean Koontz? I have most of his books.
higherlevel4u said:Yep, read all JK's, and several Lee Child and also all Michael Connelly's (highly recommended!) ... also read several Dean Koontz ....![]()
lovemonster said:LOL, I've read Michael Connelly's too...have you tried Karin Slaughter and James Patterson?![]()

higherlevel4u said:Of course!
I used to read pretty much exclusively US-set books, but I have lately got into a few British-based ones too .... I'm just reading my second DI Banks novel by Peter Robinson, and also I have not long read a series by a guy called Graham Hurley, set in Portsmouth ....![]()
lovemonster said:LOL....funny we both have the same taste in literature!
Not read any of the British ones, I find the US ones faster paced....
higherlevel4u said:Yeah, I know what you mean, but I am quite enjoying the change in pace .... I try to alternate them if possible ....![]()
