And it wasn't "THE Fluke" it was "Fluke" - Fluke is the main character's name.

I agree, I bought one once.....ended up chucking it in the bin and never bothered with it since.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
I've just read two in about five hours:
Gods Callgirl, Carla Van Raay
A Child Called It, Dave Peltzer
I wasn't too impressed with the latter if I'm being honest

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
If you like historical novels, try those of Elizabeth Chadwick. They take you straight back to the time of the Norman Conquest and the immediately following years. I've read most of them and they are enthralling.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
That sounds good Pashley, I haven't read any of those. I'll have a look on the site that everybody has been talking about and see if there are any there. I love to get lost in a good historical novel!
No funny comments about getting lost peeps.
