A huge TBR but I've only read 2 and none on my pile. But:
Inconceivable by Ben Elton - liked this and most of his other earlier ones I read, haven't read Dead Famous but heard it's good. (Saw him live on stage last year though, which was brill!
Notes On A Scandal by Zoe Heller - a great book. Very well written characters. And I liked the film too, but glad I'd read the book first as I never end up reading books if I've already seen the film, too disappointing! |

That is a huge list Mel, but then you do read quickly! Have read one from your list: The Reading Group - Elizabeth Noble. I don't remember much about it; more about the people's lives in the group if I remember rightly.

Hello!
Lucky - Alice Seabold ... this was an ok-ish book, didn't sympathise as much as I felt I should considering the subject matter
The Lovely Bones - Alice Seabold ... mixed feelings about this book, but very readable.
The Island - Victoria Hislop ... a page turner.  it's on my swap list.
Man & Boy/Man & Wife/One for my baby - Tony Parsons ... I've read at least one of these, I forget which one, not my cup of tea

Have read The Lovely Bones and wouldn't mind looking at Teri Hatcher's book. Have The Mathematics of Love on my TBR. Didn't think much to The Lovely Bones.

Just updated my TBR. Have now run out of space on my bookshelf! Methinks I really need to have a clearout of these books, I'm sure my tastes must've changed since I got a few of these!
