    I love The Alchemist. Read it quite a few years ago and couldn't put it down.

    reading the new book by Paula Hawkins at the moment but it is hard going and not as smooth as Girl on the train. The worst thing an author can do is have a hugely successful debut as writing a follow up can be really hard and i think that is what has happened here.

    The last book I read was The Good Mother by Sinead Morriority. It was very sad and I cried buckets while I was reading it. But I would give it 10/10 because it was a book that made me cry and it was very well written.

    Isn't it just!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Very creepy but a pretty good one.

    There were a series of follow up books. Let there be thorns and pettles in the wind but they never came close to the first one. Hated the mother in that book.
