chesilbeach Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Finished Only Ever Yours. Holy hell! I need to let it all sink in. Yes, that's the correct response. I looked this one up because I was interested and a lot of people were talking about it and it isn't available in the US as a physical book until May 12 Hm... for Kindle as well. Greatly disappointed as the synopsis sounds like something I'd be into. What a shame, although it's not that far away … eight weeks or so?

I'm so excited … I pre-ordered it ages ago, so I can't wait to read it! I sneaked a few pages in earlier, and it's started off brilliantly, and I think I'm in safe hands.

BSchultz19 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yes, that's the correct response. What a shame, although it's not that far away … eight weeks or so? And new release books are so expensive. My wallet is not very deep I'm hoping my library buys a few copies. I'm sure I can request it... I finished The Rosie Effect last night and I'm continuing where I left off with Plain Truth now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy hell! I need to let it all sink in. Hm... for Kindle as well. Greatly disappointed as the synopsis sounds like something I'd be into. It'd be worse if it was NEVER going to be for sale! Yes, that's the correct response. What a shame, although it's not that far away … eight weeks or so? That's forever I'm almost two thirds of the way through Off To Be The Wizard. Absolutely love it, totally suits my sense of humour, and such a unique take on the fantasy genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
page turner Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Finished Reaper man by Terry Pratchett this morning. Such a great writer, no wonder his books have suddenly seen an increase in sales. I've had the last 12 discworld books in my basket on book depository for weeks and since his passing they've steadly become unavailable.

page turner Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Started and finished Dirty pretty things by Michael Faudet a book of poems, short stories and thoughts.

frankie Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Last night I finished In the Fifth at Malory Towers by Enid Blyton and then I started reading OMG! Is This Actually My Life? Hattie Moore's Unbelievable Year! by Rae Earl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love it, totally suits my sense of humour, and such a unique take on the fantasy genre. I'm so happy you're enjoying this ! Finished Reaper man by Terry Pratchett this morning. Such a great writer, no wonder his books have suddenly seen an increase in sales. I've had the last 12 discworld books in my basket on book depository for weeks and since his passing they've steadly become unavailable. Wow, that makes sense, I guess a lot of people are suddenly buying his books. I hope they will have new copies for you in stock soon. I'm nearly halfway through Allegiant. I look forward to hear read your thoughts on it when you've finished it. I'm about two thirds into Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. It's really interesting and the past few chapters have contained some amazing plot twists I didn't see coming and wasn't expecting. I look forward to read more in it later today, I want to find out what's going to happen in the story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogsborne Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Haven't read in ages, just started 'The Surgeon' by 'Tess Gerritsen'. 125 pages in and although I'm not gripped, i'll read it, to its conclusion. Next book on my 'to read' list, is 'The Poet' by 'Michael connelly', got high hopes for this one. Can anyone recommend some crime/thriller authors? Cheers.

chaliepud Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I wasn't sure where best to put this, but Jon Ronson is being interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live this afternoon, I believe it will be around 2pm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Welcome, Frogsborne Last week I finished Speaking from Among the Bones by Alan Bradley and I loved it, unsurprisingly. Currently I'm reading Linger by Maggie Steifvater, which is the second book in that series, and I'm on track to finish it this weekend. Then it's on to the next and newest Alan Bradley, The Dead in their Vaulted Arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read any books yet by the authors you mention, but when I was younger I used to read some thrillers, such as by John Grisham (law thrillers) and Robin Cook (medical thrillers). I've read one good thriller by David Baldacci also. Feel free to check out the links that Frankie mentioned, further discussion would be better suited in those sections rather than in this "what are you reading" / Book Activity type thread. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm making good process in Brandon Sanderson - Elantris, the last 50-100 pages I read have been very good and full of unexpected plot twists. I might be able to finish it today, otherwise I'll finish it tomorrow. I really want to find out what happens! I also found two free short stories this morning through the author's website that take place in the same world but should be read after finishing the book, so I plan on reading those once I finish the book.

Inver Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Just finished 'Love Anthony' by Lisa Genova....good read, but Still Alice is still better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 WooHoo!! I'm down to #4 on hold at the library for Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and the library has 26 kindle copies so my turn should come up around the time I finish reading The Language of Hoofbeats by CRH.

Nollaig Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have no money, so naturally I went to Waterstones and bought books. I really want to read Half Bad by Sally Green, but it's £9 for a Kindle copy, so I figured I'd just pay €9.99 for the paperback - and I got Only Ever Yours (which I had had as a Kindle book) for €4.99 with it! Happy out Finished the first Magic 2.0 book and LOVED it, got the next two, can't wait to read them but think I'll hold off til I finish a couple of other books that are unfinished or I'll never get them done!

Excited to hear that the Flavia books continue to be brilliant Hope you enjoy the next one Marcia Started East of Eden .. getting on fine so far .. it's going to be an epic family tale so lots to take in at this stage but he sets the scene so well .. I can't see that I'll have any problems (bar time .. I'm busy in the next few days so won't be able to devote as much time to it as I'd like.) Welcome frogsborne!

I'm down to #4 on hold at the library for Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and the library has 26 kindle copies so my turn should come up around the time I finish reading The Language of Hoofbeats by CRH. I hope you like it, I read it several times, just because I fell so in love with Louie I will be interested in if you liked Hoofbeats... that is her new one, yes? How is your head after falling? I'm nearly halfway through Allegiant. Looking forward to your finish I have no money, so naturally I went to Waterstones and bought books.

Don't feel so bad, I was a little naughty today also and pre-ordered Only Ever Yours I'm glad you liked Magic 2.0. How did you get on with Yesterday's Gone? I'm on the book review part of BBC History Magazine, my favorite part! I must get back to Gilead though. I hope to start something new tomorrow or tomorrow night at the latest.
