Welcome

To my new blog. Which will hopefully be updated more than my other blog.

I've decided the problem I have with blogging is that lack of a theme. I'm not a natural writer (I don't think) nor am I particularly funny or witty and I often feel that my life to too mundane to write regular posts which people would find interesting. So it gets left.

I figure - write what you know. And I know reading. I LURVE to read. Always have, always will. And I also like to debate books with other people. So here, I hope to review books I'm reading or have recently read, and nut them out with you.

I'll try to post ahead what I'll be reading next, in case anyone wants to read along. I'm also keen to hear suggestions from people, if you think something is worth my time.

You can expect a mix of crime fiction, chick lit, easy reading, classics, biographies, and good mix of fiction and non-fiction, probably not much romance or sci-fi/fantasy.

My favourite authors are or have been:

Mil Millington
Stephen King
Patricia Cornwell
Michael Crichton
Karin Slaughter
James Patterson
John Grisham
Janet Evanovich
Jasper Fforde

So I'm a bit commercial. Sue me.

I do realise that the above authors conform to a pretty specific style. I'm unlikely to write many reviews of these authors (exceptions perhaps to Millington, Crichton and King as there is more variance there). I enjoy reading much beyond the scope of these authors, and hope to be introduced to some new authors and styles through my writing here.

Where I can, I'll also give a comparison to the film version. That said, I generally avoid these and film adaptions of novels I like, generally make me angry, unless I saw the film first. So we'll see how that works out.

Hopefully I'll get my first review up this week. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions.
