Just picked up the last book of "The First Law" trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. Would recommend these books for those who like Gemmell or, I suppose, fantasy books in general. A good, gritty, read. Lots of subtle, dry, humour as well. Best books I have read in ages. Book 1: The Blade Itself Book 2: Before they are hanged Book 3: (just released) Last argument of Kings.

Has anybody read Cathy Kelly's new book yet? I like her books. Easy to read and lots of memories come back when she mentions certains places and shops I've frequented. |

Reading "INQUISITION - The Reign of Fear" by Toby Green
Its a history of the inquisition and the how it worked and how it was also exploited for political reasons. |

Sorry guys, it is only available on-line from a good few sites - amazo.com, shop.com, yahoo.com etc. When it was published I thought she would be doing signings at Easons and appear on the Late Late Show. Maybe some time.

Rose Coloured Thistle Author: Lerato Mokone Leroto gives a true and chilling insight to her main characters. Lillos life, i.e. a black woman married to a white man. Based in the township of Lesotho - it is a wonderful book, beautifully written with deep insight and genuine feeling. No need to sell this book - it is one you do not want to put down, apart from a great read, it is written by Lerato Mokone-Muller - Brians wife. Would highly recommend it as a must buy for your shopping list (thinking about gifts or Christmas pressys). It is available on Amazom.com or www.publishamerica.com/shoppingshopsearch.asp Well done Leroto - move over Meave Binchy.
