I've just started that one too BB :) such great reviews I just had to read it myself (before going to the movie)
I am reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
It is difficult to put down.
Great read.

Not having read the book, I saw the movie today. Apparently told from a different perspective from the book. DH and I enjoyed the movie immensely.

I'm reading I am the messenger, I'm really enjoying it. I'm looking forward to seeing Gone Girl, I've read the book and didn't find it as riveting as a lot people I know.

Loved this book! Not generally a fan of thriller but it was in the recommended section at the airport!
I am reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
It is difficult to put down.
Great read.
I love fantasy/sci-fi I'm currently reading The Magician by Raymond Feist :P

I'm reading Burial Rites at the moment. It is our book club book for the month. I am enjoying it.

.'The Few',  a very good read. A real page turner.  Well written, well paced, believable characters and current issues and plot. 
Thank to those who have made recommendations.  I have bought quite a few for iPad reading.
Didn't like Gone Girl, too slick for my liking.

Thanks Amanda, I didn't realise she was from Adelaide. It's a great story.

Recently finished a biography on the widow Clicquot, the woman who made Veuve (French for widow) Clicquot famous and changed the world of champagne production.
Yesterday I finished a great book on my Kindle Called "The Sisters Brothers". A western so not anything I would ever normally pick up, but it came highly recommended and is brilliantly written.
Now reading "My Notorious Life" by Kate Manning and picked up during my recent visit to the Tenement Museum in New York City. It's shaping up very nicely.

I'm reading a rural romance that was written by a friend of DD. I enjoy her books. Rachael Johns. Not intellectual reading but I find it entertaining.
