Hi Y'all and Welcome to my little home on Shelfari. Pull up a chair and sit a spell as we say in the South. I have been an avid reader my entire life and have worked in libraries for many years.

    Let me know how you liked Heartstopper. I have added it to my LONG and ever growing TBR list. I cannot wait to read it. I usually like the stuff from Fielding.

    Oh well, maybe next time!

    Lost Souls sounds interesting, I've added it to my wish list and it will stay there unless you tell me it turned out to be terrible!

    No chance of being too hot to walk here at the minute, we're lucky if it's getting in to the 70s right now, maybe summer will come later. At least it was nice weather for the walking holiday in June!

    My definition of a walking holiday is a holiday where you go walking (hiking) every day. Stayed in a cottage each night and then went out walking each day. Great fun if you enjoy the outdoors and good for the fitness too.

    Good luck in finding some books - hope the suggestions work out - let me know how you get on and what you pick up.

    Things are good here, enjoying summer so far. Had a 2 week walking holiday at the start of June which was great.

    Have read quite a few good books recently, mostly mystery/thriller:-

    JT Ellison - All The Pretty Girls
    Romina Wilcox - Cold Eyes
    Jeffery Deaver - The Twelfth Card
    Tami Hoag - The Alibi Man
    Mark Billingham - Buried
    Robert Crais - The Two Minute Rule
    Brett Battles - The Cleaner

    Hope you are having a great summer! I've been reading quite a bit, but I still feel like I'm in a slump.

    Having just read some reviews for Boy's Life, it sounds good...

    Not heard of McCammon or that book before. I've added it to my wish list, it's filling up with suggestions from everyone. I'll never be stuck for something to read again!

    I'm still in 2 minds about Heart Shaped Box, I might pick it up if I can't find something else - the store I have in mind has a promotion whereby you save if you buy 2 books - so it may or may not be the second book.

    Sorry - didn't mean that it was a spooky book, more that it was a spooky coincidence that you'd picked up that book. It is a very good book though!

    And I definitely want more hours for reading!

    Ooh, spooky. That was the first Gardner book I read (about this time last year) and it got me hooked!
