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.
Why not join in??
