Courtney, Bryce - April Fools Day
Brilliant, not what I expected though when I worked out it was a biography of his son and not a novel. So much for a first taste of Bryce Courtney.
I am hooked.
(wrong cover btw. alas can't find the right one, such a HUGE issue)
A lot of stuff in here that made me thing again about some 'common' issues.
AIDS for one.
His son Damon being a Haemophilic who developed AIDS.
Anyway I can't be bothered explaining too much, I'm on holidays.
Smith, Dodie - I Capture the Castle
Excellent read. Very interesting, fairly easy in terms of readership. I have not seen the movie, and am not entirely sure I want to as it might spoil it.
Characters easy for me to relate to (to an extent). Honest, a good feel of getting inside someone's mind.

Curtis and Eldredge, The Sacred Romance
A shaky start as I was entirely the wrong place for reading this the first chapter or so.
This book is wonderful!
need I say more.
Sheds light on all manner of things, clarified some stuff for me, reminded me of some things that I'd forgotten.
None of the petty 'Jesus is my boyfriend'. Well worth time and money.
