taxman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Neither are trashy but I have "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" on my bedside table that I am reading with my oldest and then I have "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova. Just started that one so can't say much about it. I read "The Historian" also by Kostova and it was excellent. Loved The Historian, was bored out of my mind by The Swan Thieves. I've just finished Ours are the Streets by Sunjeev Sahota, a story told in the first person about a Sheffield lad who becomes radicalized when he visits Pakistan and comes back here to blow up Meadowhall. An easy enough read but with a serious story..after that I'll look to something trashy to give my mind a rest, an old Ngaio Marsh detective novel or something similar.

Mattenmurg Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just read The Chocolate Run by Dorothy Koonson. An excellent easy read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonTop Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Loved The Historian, was bored out of my mind by The Swan Thieves. I have to say the first few pages of "The Swan Thieves" haven't exactly gripped me....after your comment, I am wondering whether I should bother with the book at all.

Oddgitt Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Anything by Simon kernick - trashy crime thrillers, which are very gripping reads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
