Let the Right One In - Something something foreign (cant remember of my heard, and cant be bothered to get up and look lol)
Love any vampire movies / books (except twilight), and love the movie this book was made into
Although I used to read a book a day when I was young I very rarely read books nowadays. The last I read must be almost 10 years ago (Lord of the Rings - because I had always meant to read it but hadn't).
I have just started trying to read 'The Coral Island' by R.M. Ballantyne again. I recall it was one of the books that I read more than once when young. It now reads rather odd as the language and phraseology seems rather weird now - and even a bit 'gay'. I might not make it to the end.

'Birdsong' by Sebastian Faulks.
Faulks' fourth novel, it tells of a man called Stephen Wraysford at different stages of his life both before and during World War I. Birdsong is part of a trilogy of novels by Sebastian Faulks, together with The Girl at the Lion d'Or and Charlotte Gray; the three novels are linked through location, history and several minor characters.

I've just finished Only When I Laugh - Paul Merton's autobiography which started off great and I laughed all the way to the middle of the book where he found fame and fortune. Unfortunately, that's where it became a name-dropping bore-fest and the only light relief came when he was admitted into the Maudsley after suffering from a psychiatric episode.
Re-reading "The Shell Seekers" by Rosamund Pilcher,
Have got 'Resistance' by Owen Sheers lined up for when I finish the above.

"Dark as my Heart" by Antti Tuomainen.
"Strumpet City" by James Plunkett to follow.
Yes I loved this book too (it was by John Ajvide Lindqvist) but wasn't too keen on the film.
I've just finished reading Try Not to Breathe by Holly Seddon, it was great and though it tried to throw a couple of red herrings I guessed who did it. Although that doesn't sound like a brilliant recommendation the rest of the book made up for it and I would recommend it.
