I was really excited about this book because I thought I'd found a new Torey Hayden. I was then extremely disappointed to discover it was just one I already had, with a different title (Silent Boy). This kept getting in the way of my reading, so I didn't really enjoy it as much as I could have done. Back to read it swap it!

This wasn't my usual sort of book, but I really enjoyed it - although I'm not sure I'll want to read it again. Sharon Osbourne comes across as very honest, and there was a lot I didn't know about her early life - I really only knew her from the X factor.

This was my least favourite of all the Turnham Malpas novels I've read so far, it just didn't make a comfortable read and I would probably only re-read this again as part of a series re-read, rather than because I really like the book.

I really enjoyed this book, and found it all new - I hadn't picked up anything from later books about what happened in this book. I love finding a new series, and there being so many of them!

This was a Steel I'd not read before, and one of her shorter novels. I really enjoyed it, it was a minimal character and easy to read book, and roughly what I expected to happen did happen! A nice read!

The Caravan Family
The Saucy Jane Family
The Seaside Family
The Pole Star Family
The Queen Elizabeth Family
The Buttercup Farm Family

I managed to get hold of an old copy of The Caravan Family a while ago, and really enjoyed it, so when I saw this 6 in one collection, I bought it straight away. I re-read the Caravan Family, enjoyed Saycy Jane, Seaside and Pole Star, but thought Queen Elizabeth was far too similar to Pole Star. The Buttercup Farm family was a bit too short and I felt it was only there just to fill up the series!

This was such a lovely book, a collection of letters written after the war about the occupation in Guernsey. I really enjoyed this one - definitely one to keep.

The more of these I read, the more I like them! This one had some really interesting characters in, but I wonder why Shaw always uses Flick as the one who gets hurt. These are such lovely books, with some quite scary bits in!

This is the first of the Turnham Malpas series, although not the first I have read, so it was interesting to find out things that were mentioned in later books, especially as they didn't hqappen quite how I expected them to!

This was very well written and I liked it as much as Glass' other book. Unfortunately, I think she's only written the two. A fascinating account of being a foster carer.
