    I got three:

    Brother in the Land – Robert Swindells

    Bodies – Jed Mercurio

    And, State of Emergency – Dominic Sandbrook

    I cracked open Brother in the Land about half an hour go and have blistered through 47 pages already. No pun intended 😮

    As a joke Mrs C. bought me “Cider with Rosie”. I did this in English Lit ‘O’ Level and hated it with a passion. Be interesting to see if I still feel the same about it.

    The Secret Race (Tyler Hamilton)

    I really enjoyed this, I was lucky enough to read it before Armstrong confessed, which made it all the more readable.

    Read Boy Racer first to see the start of his career, then At Speed to get an update, some great reading, you cant put the things down, like theyre superglued to your hands.
