Book 3 and were on a roll


Kit Quinn is a young woman who inhabits dangerous worlds: crime scenes, interrogation scenes, hospitals for the criminally insane. Horribly wounded in an attack by a suspect, she must return to the site of her worst fears. She is asked by the police to advise them on a simple murder inquiry. A young runaway has been found killed by a canal and the chief suspect is the man who wounded Kit.
But Kit refuses to accept appearances and her obsessive search for the truth draws her into an underworld of the missing and the unloved which puts her at terrible risk.

I can honestly say I loved this book and having not researched the author before was suprised to find out ts a partnership of male and female so two authors involved in one story.

Because of this I think you get all perspectives and makes for a gripping and page turning read.

I can recomend this to anyone that enjoys Patricia Cornwell and any crime thriller.

Reading time = 3 hours (needed to take in more details and not skip areas)


Next read = Jeremy Clarkson

Book 2!


A fun, witty, sexy, page-turning novel written by a real-life, high-priced Manhattan call girl. This is the diary of Nancy Chan, busy career girl, in her thirties, newly engaged and trying to balance job and romance. But Nancy is a high-class call girl, a fact her banker fiance, Matt does not know (he thinks she's a copy editor) and Nancy wants to keep it that way. With one foot in the bedrooms of her rich and demanding clients and one in the world of her fiance and his family, Nancy demonstrates, in her inimitable fashion, that if you know the dance, you can keep those two worlds from colliding. At least for a while. This wonderfully intelligent, sexually frank, rollicking novel gives us fresh insight into the machinations and politics of being an expensive call girl in the modern world. Quan pulls no punches, gives no apologies, and has written one of the best and most honest books yet on the topic.



What more daft trash you shout!!!

Yeah sorry people another easy to read book but captivating and as the review above says quite a up to date story. I liked the differences in characters and motivation for doing what they do in this book also liked the fact it points out people are never quite what they seem!

Reading time = super quick 2 hours
Recommend = Not sure rewally i liked it though after the 1st half its one of those you get into one character and have top make yourself not skip pages when another is in focus.

Next read = Nikki French so maybe a little less trash and more mystery!

Sudoku I promise its coming soon I just need a ickle more time playing and less working ;)

Book 1 of how many!!!!


It all starts with a shiny, red, sit-on lawnmower. When Nancy spies her Christmas present from her husband sitting on the lawn, she realises the jewellery she thought was for her must be sitting on someone else. Her best friend Carmen isn't surprised (she never liked Jonathan) and persuades Nancy to leave Edinburgh and come and stay in her luxury London flat - far too vast for Carmen since her husband, millionaire rock star Spike Todd, died. Soon Nancy's met gorgeous Connor O'Shea, who lives next door, and his daughter Mia is matchmaking - not least because she'd like to see the back of Connor's current pushy girlfriend. Meanwhile Carmen, who's always been certain she doesn't want another man in her life, feels a spark when a handsome charity worker called Joe calls round. But Joe's not quite all he seems...

OK I didnt promise I would start with War and peace be it upside down or not! Yes this is total crap fiction with a end of day feel good and a moral of dont look so far when its right in front of you.

Reading time = 3 1/2 hours with a break for making tea and toast.
Recommend? Yeah if you need escapism your female and you are a romantic at heart.

Will the next book be trash? = Probably!

Sudoku is on its way!

Its a new challenge for the Cub!!


I was having a chat with London the other day about uses for blogs and what is worth and not worth putting. In my opinion anything is worth reporting on if its important to you but thats me going off course again.

I read a lot when I say a lot I mean a lot so it was suggested why not do the popular fad 52 books in a year. Mulling it over last night I thought yeah I could do that so guys an galls I will report back to here which book I have read and what I thought of it!

I dont promise it will be a varied selection or any more exciting than trash novels but hey keeps me posting here and sets me an aim.

My other idea is once a week I will pop a suduko board on here for people to have a go at (Just need help in sussing how to make it easy to print off???

So eyes peeled to here for the next exciting installment!
