Mick's auntie has lent me Meredith by John Kercher. Meredith Kercher was murdered in Perugia, Italy in 2007, and this is her father's story of losing his beloved daughter, the torment the family have suffered and their ongoing quest for justice. I'm sure it will be a tear jerker.
At the moment I'm reading Over Hill and Dale by Gervase Phinn, the second book in his Dales series and I'm enjoying it immensely.
Last month, as part of my read a book a month challenge which I've set myself, I read the second book in The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith.
These are real easy readers so I'll make sure that I pack number three in the series for my holiday.
Happy Anniversary, enjoy your holiday, and you have picked some books with interesting titles. Give us a review of the books you read when you're finished.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, ooh I hope you have a lovely holiday when you go. I love to read and Mich has given me Losing You by Nicci French for my hols, she says it's fab. I will read it and let you know. I was following the Meredith Kercher trial and was very surprised when Amanda Knox was set free. Something didn't add up and now she's made a fortune which doesn't seem right. Lots of love xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Jo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog. Hope you have a great holiday. Haven't read any of the books you mention but the latter two sound a good read.

My husband says I pack more books than clothes when I go on holidays. There is nothing better than a good book.
ReplyDeleteThe first one isn't my idea of holiday reading, but the other two are. Happy reading,Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteHi JO, let us know what you think about the Meredith Kercher book, I'm not sure I could read it. The other two are my type of holiday reading.I love Gervais Phinn and have read some of his books before.
ReplyDeleteI love the Alexander McCall Smith series. The gentle humour is just lovely. I have the latest paperback one sitting waiting for my holiday treat.
ReplyDeleteThey sound like an interesting selection of books (I haven't read any of these..will have to check out my library).
ReplyDeleteHave a fun holiday..Happy reading!

I am intrigued by Gervase Phinn but can't find that author here in the states or at least in Utah. Enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday. that first book will make difficult reading I bet. xxx
ReplyDeleteLooks as if you're getting prepared for a relaxing holiday. Isn't it nice to have a pile of books to select from?! Jx
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your comments, they're very much appreciated, as always.
ReplyDeleteWe're not going away this year, and since I'm saving up to give our daughter a starter 'boost' of cash for university I'm not buying books either. But I've got a nice lot of gardening books out of the library. Sandy McCall Smith is a gem, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteI have nominated you for the Sunshine Award because you bring sunshine into my life.

I've started buying my books from the charity shop, Linda. There are some bargains to be had, but some shops do tend to overcharge.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Ruth, what a lovely thing to say. I shall do a post about the award soon.
I've read all the books about Precious Ramotswe's exploits in Botswana! They are amongst my favourite ever books. Enjoy number three Jo.

They're great books, Jeanne. The good thing is that I've only just started the series so I know there's plenty more books to go at yet.
