Not face book

I'm about to start a book ...

Half A Yellow Sun

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

It's a birthday present. I tend not to get books that tax me too much cos I get bored easily. Awkward names and such. But it's set in Nigeria and my aunt had read it then ordered the same book for me. She lived in Nigeria for ages with her Nigerian husband, till he got ill, came over here and died (the virus that travels up the spine and paralyses you)

The other book she got me was set in Edinburgh, just finished it. Was ok. Ian Rankin. I can see it as a TV series or a one-off.

I'll give this book a go. Hope it isn't tricky to relate to. The books she's given me before looked mildly naff till I got into them. I should trust her choices a bit more :))

Nighty night :wave:

  I may have to postpone several wee jaunts into town until it's finished

I like Ian Rankin's Rebus books but I refuse to watch the newest TV series 'cos it doesn't have John Hannah as Rebus any more *grrrr*

  I think Ken Stott might be quite good as Rebus (I haven't watched any) The book was Hide & Seek, have you read that one?

    Nope, he's nowhere near as attractive as John Hannah
    Not sure if I've read that one, I've read loads of his. If you like his books then you should try Harlan Coben, very good stuff.

      John Hannah looks too much like my brother. I can't be attracted ... That Would Be Wrong!

        Then I'll be attracted to him for you
        ~~John Hannah, that is, not your brother... although he must be cute if he looks like Mr Hannah~~

  It's so different from anything I normally read but it's quite good
