Just finished Edgelands: Journeys Into England's True Wilderness by Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts. Very enjoyable journey through the wastegrounds, transportation corridors, abandoned landscapes and suburban scrub that folk don't usually give much thought, by a couple of Northern poets.

I'm reading Ice Bear: A Natural and Unnatural History of the Polar Bear by Kieran Mulvaney. It's a really easy read, especially if you like bears, which I do.

The Forgotten Garden-Kate Morton

A foundling, an old book of dark fairy tales, a secret garden, an aristocratic family, a love denied, and a mystery. The Forgotten Garden is a captivating, atmospheric and compulsively readable story of the past, secrets, family and memory from the international best-selling author Kate Morton.

Cassandra is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved grandmother, Nell, has just died and Cassandra, her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten years ago, feels like she has lost everything dear to her. But an unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra's life upside down and ends up challenging everything she thought she knew about herself and her family.

Inheriting a book of dark and intriguing fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace - the Victorian authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early twentieth century - Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of Nell on a quest to find out the truth about their history, their family and their past; little knowing that in the process, she will also discover a new life for herself.

Does editing count? I'm editing and re-writing a book on Applied Statistics.

Right now I'm reading Prince William The Man Who Will Be King. It's the very first in depth biography done on him. A very good book so far. I must say that reading about his childhood, it just makes me admire him more and more. I think he will make a great king. As will his father before him. And as his grandmother has been in these last 60 years.
