Michelle Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I still haven't settled on my final selection! Kate Harrison - Old School Ties.. half way through, enjoying, will probably take to finish Sam Grosser - Another Time and Place - just started, good so far, another to take The Secret Life of Bees - possibly Katherine Warwick - Savage.. possibly Kelley Armstrong - Exit Stategy.. possibly Marion Husband - The Boy I Love.. probably The thing is, I'll probably only get a chance to read one; but I do like to feel I have a choice!

Inver Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I still haven't settled on my final selection! Kate Harrison - Old School Ties.. half way through, enjoying, will probably take to finish ! See how you get on with that one....I gave up reading it. Didn't enjoy they way it was written and characters didn't hold my interest I'm afraid.

Michelle Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Oh, I'm really liking it. Don't give up on Kate Harrison though.. I think Brown Owl's Guide to Life is my favourite, and it has a very different feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read 'The Starter Marriage' which I read via a bookring and enjoyed. http://bookcrossing.com/journal/3451044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well, of the batch I took away with me, I finished Anne of Green Gables and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and got 2/3rds of the way through Lost in a Good Book. All excellent reading too, I might add! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icecream Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I won't get any holidays, but we did go camping for one night last wekend and I was still reading Harry Potter. I took The House At Riverton too, but by the time Katie went to sleep in the tent it was 9:30 so I didn't have much time. Then the next day by the time I had myself and three kids up, been into town for some food for lunch, cooked and cleaned up, I was aboutt o relax with my book when OH said it was time to pack up!

That's a real shame IceCream - it's so hard to find time to yourself sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The Secret River - Kate Grenville The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini I really enjoyed those!
