So I thought this would be a place to talk about the books your reading and a small review of them. That way you can pick up books that others have recommended or avoid a purchase if it's bad.
I'm currently reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, and I can't say too much without spoiling the whole plot of the book. It's a crime thriller, and if you like them, buy it. This is one of the best books I've ever read and I'm not even finished with it yet. 10/10

I really disliked Gone Girl, I thought it was really boring and I am a huge fan of Crime Thrillers...
I am reading The Memory Book by Rowan Coleman at the minute xx

oooo great idea for a thread!
I like crime thrillers so I'm tempted to give it a go.. what did you like about it Kerry? Rachel, what didn't you like?
I'm reading Dan Brown inferno at the moment. I haven't read enough (erm.. 3 pages) lol to comment on how good it is but I've loved his other books so I have high hopes!

I haven't read a Dan Brown book since Angels and Demons. I never actually read The Davinci Code lol. I did quite like Angels and Demons though, if I remember correctly.
The thing I love about Gone Girl is that nothing is what it seems. You're left not knowing anything at all, and it's told from two different points of view (the two main characters). Every time you turn the page, there's another twist in it. I think it's absolutely gripping on a psychological standpoint. It's not like "waaa trapped must escape BOOM explosion" sort of gripping, but psychologically it's absolutely fantastic!

You're definitely tempting me to try it! I think it's worth a try.. Next time I'm shopping I will keep an eye out for it and read the first couple of pages. I know it's judgemental but I can usually tell if I'm gonna like a book or not by the intro.
You should check out some of Dan's other books.. they are so good!

I didn't like how predictable it was throughout and I got bored of it very quickly x

Waterstones has it for 30% off at the moment so it's like £5. I'd definitely say give it a go - you can always take part in a book trade or something if you don't like it :3
