How To Stop Time by Matt Haig
Terry wrote: "Hi Kate, I've wanted to read this book for a while, but I don't have it yet. I was planning on buying it for my stepmother, who loves miniatures - I may read it before I give it to her, though."I thought it was really great Terry. Highly recommend it :)
On an autumn day in 1686, eighteen-year-old Nella Oortman knocks at the door of a grand house in the wealthiest quarter of Amsterdam. She has come from the country to begin a new life as the wife of illustrious merchant trader Johannes Brandt, but instead she is met by his sharp-tongued sister, Marin. Only later does Johannes appear and present her with an extraordinary wedding gift: a cabinet-sized replica of their home. It is to be furnished by an elusive miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror their real-life counterparts in unexpected ways . . .Nella is at first mystified by the closed world of the Brandt household, but as she uncovers its secrets she realizes the escalating dangers that await them all. Does the miniaturist hold their fate in her hands? And will she be the key to their salvation or the architect of their downfall?
Beautiful, intoxicating and filled with heart-pounding suspense, The Miniaturist is a magnificent story of love and obsession, betrayal and retribution, appearance and truth
Hi all :) We need suggestions for new group reads to kick start us up and running again!! I am currently reading
(i think it's genius) I still have an obsession with anything WW1 or WW 2 related so anything on this theme i would love. I recently read
which was really good.
I have
to start which loiks intriging and if anyone hasn't yet read
then it's a must read..great thriller!
I absolutely Love Kazuo Ishiguro (Remains if the day/Never let me go)so have been excitedly waiting for The Buried Giant which is his first book in a decade !! I started it a couple of days ago and it is hauntingly strange! I would love to discuss it if anyone else fancies giving it a read.
Terry wrote: "Hey Kate, I think I have a good one for you - Look up "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins and see what you think!"I just read this Terry :) Really good! One of those books full of characters you don't like that keeps you up reading all night because you HAVE to finish it!! Brilliant..recommend to all!
I really love this Van Morrison cover. And I love her shades :)
and I love this one too
anyone else like these guys?
I have been studying some historic speeches recently for a course I am doing in American Modern History and it has got me interested in the power of a really great speech! Would love it for people to share some that they find uplifting/inspiring or just historically interesting.
I will kick it off with Bobby Kennedy
I think this is such a great speech because it was put together so quickly yet says so much.
about to start!
Hi Terry! I have it ready to start when I finish We Are All Completely Beside OurselvesI see you've started and are enjoying it though! :) Looking forward to a good read!
Ok. Walking Dead. Season 5. Episide 1. A freakin awesome gore fest!! and a perfect reunion ending that had me crying :)

Hi Terry. Definately the best YA book i have read for ages. I don't even know why it is classed as YA because that often puts people off. Certainly many YA books are dumbed down rubbish but there are many shining stars and this for me was one of those.
Breaking Bad is great. Definately lives up to the hype!
YA dystopia are certainly all the rage right now! I am just about to start Divergent trilogy.
They certainly were!! :) Nothing Else Matters is my all time fav and to hear them sing it live was just a once in a lifetime thing!
and nothing wrong with some hard core 80's rock!! Love Bon Jovi and I can't say no to a bit of Poison! I saw Metallica at Glastonbury this year and they have still got it!!! Blew the roof off The Pyramid Stage :)
