Seven Books I love

This is a difficult one as I love to read and have enjoyed lots of books over the years

1) The Rats by James Herbert ( the first book that scared the sh1t out of me, read under the covers by torchight

2) The Complete Illustrated Stories of Hans Christian Anderson my excuse is its for the kids bedtime stories

3) The Thirty-nine Steps (Penguin Popular Classics) Roger Hannay is the quintessential British Hero and watching the film starring Kenneth Moore made me go out and read the book

4) All the Harry Potter books

5)Comrades of War ~Sven Hassel ( pinched this one off my Dad and read it when I wasnt really allowed, found the descriptions of the war and the black humour that his characters used to cope were wonderful, have since read the whole series of books)

6) The Da Vinci Code ~ Dan Brown ( lots of discussion about the validity of this book, I just enjoyed the way it was crafted and the pace that it created)

7)Killing Floor (Jack Reacher Novels (Paperback)) ~ Lee Child - The latest book I have read, finished it on Sunday evening, I couldnt put it down and will certainly be looking out for more of this series

I would like to tag Cheryl, Shane, Doris and NickleAnnie
