Book Talk: I've Been Reading...

I seriously need to do a whole run of these posts just to catch up but in the mean time the reading pile is steadying going down again which is at least something.

Reading wise I've been pretty much sticking to my tried-and-true genres of crime, chick lit with the odd YA thrown in.  Sometimes you just need your comfort reads though I really do need to get stuck into the very large pile of nonfiction that I have been accumulating over the past year.  With the weather finally starting to be sunny again I'm planning on at least reading a few nonfic before the year has ended.  Reading goal for the next few months sorted.

I'm still catching up on some series as I work through my never ending To Be Read pile so my latest two crime reads were part of this.  I'm a big fan of Linda Castillo and MJ Arlidge so reading their latest releases was always going to be on the cards and they were both so good.  I'm already looking forward to their next releases.

The Bucket List was a very different sort of chick lit novel in that it tackled the very serious subject of breast cancer while still having a sense of humour.  As for my other chick lit reads well they were wonderfully gooey and comforting so the perfect thing to read on a wet and miserable day.

I have to say that this year that YA has been pretty good all round and all dealing with a variety of subjects which makes a nice change.  Girl Against The Universe was particularly good and looked at the condition PTSD as experienced by a teenage girl.  Check it out if it sounds like your kind of thing.
