chaliepud Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Finally getting a little more time to read as Jojo is starting to sleep better. Finished Killing Sarai by J.A Redmerski and now reading Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover, the sequel to Hopeless, both on my Kobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I have started on the Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. Not sure what to make of it yet- it's a new author to me. I really enjoyed The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton, but that's the only one of hers I have read. Finally getting a little more time to read as Jojo is starting to sleep better. Goodo! Puppies are exhausting, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've finished Hexed. I get a feeling the endgame gets shorter. It wasn't exactly long in the first part either. But I have to admit I don't mind too much. They could put the arc of suspense a bit higher, but I enjoy the power play and "investigating" more than the fight anyway.

chaliepud Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Goodo! Puppies are exhausting, aren't they? I'd forgotten quite how exhausting! Worth very minute though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I started a book called The President's Hat by Antoine Laurain on Friday and read it in one sitting! It was such fun! Has anyone else read it - it was Amazon's deal of the Day one day last week but I'd seen it in March and liked the sound of it. I finished Black Beauty by Anna Sewell today (enjoyed that too) - I'm not sure what to read next. I have two book club books to read for 18 September but I might leave them until nearer the time. Hmmm...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I started to read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline on my kindle earlier today. I am only one chapter in but I can tell this is just the kind of book I will really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipread Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It took me a little while to get into it. I really struggled with Amy's tone in her diary entries, but soon enough it got better..... I tried sticking with Gone Girl for a bit longer but could feel my mojo slipping away! so I put it back on the shelf and will go back to it another time I am now three quarters of the way through And The Mountains Echoed ~ Khaled Hosseini such a good story and I love the way he writes.

ChrisD Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Have stalled on reading for the last week and I am still reading Black Sunday by Thomas Harris. Hoping to have that finished by Sunday, enjoying it so far but just haven't had any sort of time to put into reading the last week or so. Just exhausted all the time without even having done anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Finished The Snow Child. I'm a bit disappointed by the ending. I'm going to start Origins by Randolph Lalonde. I think it may be one of the first books I bought for my Kindle all the way back in February 2011. It's only taken me 2.5 years to get around to it. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Many8 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I finished Losing Hope By Colleen Hoover, Hopeless' sequel, and also Breathe by Abbi Glines. Both of them are very interesting and nicely.

Carelia Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Finished The Snow Child. I'm a bit disappointed by the ending. So was I. I thought the book on the whole was so good and was expecting the ending to be a bit...more I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
