Ooh , can't beat a good thriller !
Jo Nesbro , Minette Walter, quite good reads
Fifty Shades Of !!!! , geez I thought they were so badly written lol , exciting my a**
Fifty shades was awful, I still persevered as I hate not finishing a book once I’ve started
The snowman is on my list, I just haven’t gotten to it yet 0 -

Same here with reading a bad book , you hope it eventually will get better though
Sebastian Faulks , Birdsong , love that book .
Not a thriller , set in the war , but a brilliant read tbh .
Anyhow , what's for watching at 9pm ?:D0 -

January doesn’t count
I stopped watching the walking dead after four episodes last season, I miss Daryl
It's back in a couple of weeks. I'm going to wait until all the episodes air and watch them in one go. It's last chance saloon for me, if it's good I will watch the next season if not I'm done.0 -

Yeah it was great to binge watch ( and Christ did I binge watch it) I’m not sure if I could keep watching week after week waiting for an episode...in other news I’m half way through dynasty on Netflix... it’s so bad but its great!!!
I’ve heard this season has been much better but I don’t hold out much hope
I saw dynasty pop up on Netflix, is it a reboot of the old show?0 -

Have you read any of Patrica Gibney's books? She's a newish author from Mullingar but her books have been doing really well https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/100-000-sales-in-a-month-for-debut-irish-author-1.3079857Ooh , can't beat a good thriller !

She took up writing after her husband died very young. The books are pretty good but they are quite dark and sad. The first book is called The Missing Ones. Plus the first book on Kindle is only 99p - bargain!0 -
Here's a nostaglic flashback of that infamous Dynasty scene (I feel old) with Sharon Needles and Phi Phi O'Hara from RuPaul's Drag Race. The song is quite catchy.I shall add it to my list. I love a bit of cheesy ott drama

Ah , thanks for that Wyrn , may look into caving and getting a kindle .
Am very reluctant as I love everything about a physical book , turning the pages , then passing it on to someone else for them to enjoy
Plus you can make things from books too 0 -

I was the same until I got one for Christmas a few years back and now I'm on my 3rd. I love it. Bring it everywhere with me. Last year I read over 200 books, so I'm definitely getting my moneys worth. I'm quite shy in real life, so it's great if I have to go somewhere to have my Kindle so I can look busy. I got the Kindle Fire so I can watch Netflix in bed. This is how exciting my life is at the moment.Ah , thanks for that Wyrn , may look into caving and getting a kindle .

I'm reading Pirate Women. Can't make head nor tail of it though. It's all over the shop with cliches and tangents.

Must be something like the cooking programme , Pioneer Woman , who shows you how to feed people when they're starving hungry . From working on the homesteads.0 -

Don't be embarrassed, I, meself thought you had to buy a Kindle to read the books..... I was like you, wanting to read a real book.... I used to use the library but I'm a slow reader and would panic if I didn't have the book back to the library on time.. 0 -

I don't drive but if I'm chauffeured anywhere I just cruise the Net, I could never read a book while waiting for someone, I have to be at home alone and have no distractions or impurtetunts.......
By the way, I just read True Crime... Have a heap of them on me kindle I've still get around to reading.0 -

Oh god, dont bother with The Snowman, it was rubbish. :mad:
I just read Alias Grace and it was a great read, great pacing and very visual (like a lot of Margaret Atwoods books).
Anyone else like "Botched"?
Im not super fond of Nassiff (didnt care too much for him in RHOBH) but the stories are fascinating0 -
