I thought I’d open up a quiet corner of fab, somewhere to relax and discuss books.

Have you read anything new recently? Are you re-reading a favourite? Or do you have something you’re interested in but aren’t sure about?

Come on in and share with us.

We have warm drinks, an assortment of nibbles and soft furnishings to lounge on. (We even have a cushion fort)

Make yourself at home.

"Ooh lovely. I'm reading Naming Jack the Ripper by Russell Edwards, he puts forward a compelling theory as to who the man was but it is a theory nonetheless"

Ooh that sounds quite interesting. Does he suggest any potential new evidence or other key information that leads him to his theory? I’m fascinated with crime and justice books. I’ve recently read a book by Jon Robins called Guilty until Proven Innocent. It is a fascinating collection of miscarriages of justice in the Uk, how they happened and the ending result for some of the victims.

He believes he took samples of DNA from blood and seminal fluid from a shawl lifted from one of the victims and analysed it with new analysing techniques, cross referenced by ancestors of the victim and the man he believes to be JTR....he also claims Scotland Yard knew who JTR was all along...

As I say, it's compelling and interesting

I thoroughly enjoy true crime, especially with alternative perspectives from those within the justice system. The Secret Barrister is very good for this, his analysis on how he sees cases is very interesting.

I've not long finished Murtagh by Christopher Paolini - next one in the Eragon/ Inheritance Cycle series. It's been a long time coming, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover it existed. I liked the direction of the story, and he's left it open for more books too.

Oh and Julia (1984) - very much enjoyed that too, although "enjoyed" is a funny word for that book, as it's pretty grim!
