Sorry, I made a mistake in the title of Bragg's book, it's The Adventure of English. My apologies!

| Just read 2 great books by Ian Clayton, an author from Featherstone nr Wakefield. "Bringing it All Back Home" is about popular music and how it relates to his life - it's funny and wise and perceptive. The other book "Our Billie" describes the story of how his little 9 year old daughter was drowned in a canoeing accident. It's heartbreaking but uplifting in the way the family cope.

Having seen the film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I then read the book, then I read the Girl Who Played with Fire and The girl who kicked the Hornets Nest. Steig Larson is the author
If you like a thriller with twists - these books are brilliant.
Another really good murder book are the CJSansome Matthew Shardlake series which are set in the time of Henry 8. Absolutely brilliant.
A book that is easy reading, but different from most chick lit, is Cuban Heels by Emily Barr.
Tscore Lumbar spine -3.3, Femoral neck -2.6, Hip -2.2
Alkali diet (+ no caffeine/sugar/salt/rhubarb/spinach) and exercise and supplements of Vit D (2,000IUs daily), Vit K2 as MK7, vit K2 Menatetrenone, Cod liver oil.

| I've been reading Healing Foods, which is a Reader's Digest Book I get from the library, an A - z guide for healthy eating. Its really interesting and written in such a way that it is easily read and understood. I've also been reading "Herbalism - an illustrated guide, by Non Shaw". I'm really into herbs - there are so many beneficial plants growing wild in the countryside just going to waste. We pay a fortune for Vit C tablets when there are huge juicy Rose Hips growing wild! Apparently side effects are not such a problem with the herbs, as the medicinal element is not isolated. Take dandelions for instance - we root them out as a weed, when they are a really nutritious food! Good for liver problems, gallbladder inflammation & a good de-toxifier - and yet in these days of hardship for many people, with food prices increasing daily, dandelions are just ignored!

| I have been enjoying Ian Rankin's back catalogue recently - rather easy to pick them up for very little at a lot of book fairs

| I've recently finished reading "Little Girl Lost" by Barbie Probert-Wright. Brilliant book about 2 sisters in wore-torn germany in 1945.

| I'm reading the final book in the Raj Quartet series by Paul Scott....A Dvision of the Spoils. It's taken me several weeks to read & absorb the first 3 books, even though I've read them several times before in the last 25 years or so. And I'm also re-watching the excellent drama version on video.
