I bought Dexter last year - brilliant book - couldn't put it down.
I lent it out to Linda, the guys and girls at work and everyone loved it.
Based on the TV series about a "Good" serial killer who kills bad guys -
great edge of seat thriller and you can't help but cheer him on!!

Series 3 started on FX fri 22:00.

Got to admit I'm hopeless on holiday. As some people know (Mick & Sally especially) I'll read a book a day! Trouble is that would be my baggage allowance for a 14 nighter. I save them up and pass to Liz from Willies Wash House for her winter reading! Wow a Scot who isn't tight? Are you reading Chris?

If you like a good girly read any books by the Irish girls - Sheila O'Flanagan, Patricia Scanlon, Maeve Binchy or any of the Shopaholic books.

I have collected about 4 or 5 books to take in July.  Also at the Teresa they have a good selection of books for swapping.

If I could be allowed to fantasise...Behave Chris.... Down Tony! I would love to read a full blog of every posters holiday in 2009. From warts and all views of  Premises, rooms, fellow guests, bars & tavernas and food & drink. Each meal to be captured in perfect detail. As travelogues go it would be one I just wouldn't be able to put down. I would really like to see those of SueLa and JulesT as we will miss them this year!

Wilbur Smith's new book 'Assegai' is in my case already, as is 'The associate' by John Grisham. They will keep me going for a fortnight.

Jules.... I am a big fan of an american writer called Anita Shreve... anything by her is worth reading, but especially... the last time they met.. also her best is prob  light on snow... I often change books at Noulas (either office ) cos i go through that many! (Also like anything by Rose Tremain) I get all of my books from local charity shops and then re-cycle except i usually buy the newest Shreve when it come out. Just bought the ds 100 books chip for my ds... but cant read them in strong light...

Hi Stromer
I like the Maeve Binchy books normally. Has she got any new ones out?
