Just finished "Born Bad"by Josephine Cox.Brilliant! with a twist!
Now started "Bold as Brass" - Hilary Devays autobiography ( Dragons Den)
After that I'm going to read "All of me"-Claire Richards (Steps) Autobiography.
I saw her TV programme and she comes across as a warm genuine person.

Don't know about 50 shades of grey.My neighbour read it and all she kept saying was its rude! ::) I like a good storyline plus some rude! lol! ;D ;)

Hi Dyan

I was thinking of reading Bold as Brass too as Hilary Devay has had a very interesting and difficult life from what I have read elsewhere.  Will be interested to hear from you whether you have enjoyed it.  sounds good.

Almost finished Jo Brand's autobiography Look Back in Hunger.
She has had a very colourful life it seems! Not a favourite comedienne of mine but she has sound views on some very controversial subjects.

It seems she spent most of her young life drunk though!

I would vote this book 8/10 for readability and enjoyment.

"The Silver Threads of Time" by Helen Jane Chiha, is a good read.

For the women of SilverShadows, menopause isn't just another stage of life, their falling hormones show them who they were destined to be. This fast-paced action story chronicles the adventures of a group of older women bound together by genetic changes inserted into their cells thousands of years ago during a pandemic. Estrogen suppresses these mutant genes, but the removal of estrogen influences at menopause transforms them into women with unique abilities and both mental and physical super powers.

I'm half way through Hilary Devey - Bold as Brass and it's brilliant!
She's been through some tough times and what a lady!
I like her even more now.

I will be interested to know how you find it.


Mrs Purple -  I've just finished 'The Legacy' and I really enjoyed it.  I thought the twist with Harry/Henry was brilliant! Loved The Legacy and The Unseen, equally.  Reading The Last Summer by Judith Kinghorn next.

Thanks Dyan - next on my read list to buy.

I am reading Adele Parks - "Whatever it Takes" - brilliant read - about two very close friends, one of them able to have children and the other not and how it affects their friendship.  Lots of other things going on too and cannot put it down.

Has anyone here read "A round-heeled woman" by Jane Juska? It's about an older woman who advertises for a lover.  I really enjoyed it - quite an enlightening and uplifting read. Recommended ++
