Notes From An Exhibition #TheYearInBooks

So, back in September I made my proclamation to read Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins whilst on holiday. I did start it, but somehow lost my way. Eventually I restarted it - and oh my what a book! Demolished it in two sittings last week. Towards the end I actually felt frightened reading it, thinking things like 'run' 'call the police' - if that isn't the sign of a great read, what is??

So, ever late to the party, I have chosen  Notes From An Exhibition for my November read. Almost half way through the month but I have all the time in the world as I recover from my hysterectomy :-) I have never read anything by Patrick Gale before so looking forward to reading one of his 15 novels!!

Joining Laura at Circle Of Pine Trees - why not share what you are reading - or see what others are reading?

Girl on the Train #TheYearInBooks

As I am trying to think and consider before I buy, I have a self imposed ban on buying any books until I have read most of those 'waiting' on my bookshelf!

However I've been desperate to read Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. Cue a Facebook plea and I was offered this proof copy.... result!! Now hoping it lives up to the hype.

July's book was The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling. A great book that elicited every response from me. Some character's I loved,  worried about and even hated!! Sign of a great book!

So grateful to Laura at Circle of Pine Trees for getting my reading mojo back.

I Capture The Castle #TheYearInBooks

Wow. I'm doing not bad on the reading front. 

Certainly joining with Laura and her Year in Books has got me back into reading. 

Very grateful!

So my last book was not what I thought at all!! I think I thought it was this! LOL!

My choice - Destinations turned out to be a selection of short stories. 

Perfect for getting back into reading!

So this morning I perused my messy bookcase.......

& chose I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith, which I have been meaning to read for a long time!

Preferably whilst lounging in bed!

Hopefully I will finish before the end of the month this time!
