Nollaig Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Off the wall in a good way or a bad way? I'd love to read The Undead one day, but won't get to it until it's out in paperback. Well, some of the premises were fantastic, as were some of the executions and twists. But overall it tried too hard, completely rewrote the characters, was entirely unbelieveable and had the most ludocris ending I've ever read, ever. Strangely, I want to read it again.

Kylie Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks Lexie. But now, after reading Nollaig's post, I'm not sure whether to add it to my wishlist or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Ahahaha, beautiful. I do though! What it aspires to is just so awesome... but it falls so painfully short.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yay for reading NM, Catwoman! I hope you get lots of reading of books done on your flights to/from the States . That's great you're getting the set of Anne books, Kylie! Have you read them before? I haven't done much reading today so far, but got to page 61 of 'Bitten' last night before falling asleep. Hopefully I'll squeeze in a bit more tonight, although I'm hitting the hay early since I'm up at 5am tomorrow, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I read Anne of Green Gables a couple of years ago (didn't realise it had been so long!) and it immediately became one of my favourites. I've been looking at getting the box set ever since but it's always been too expensive. I'm thrilled to finally be getting them so I can read the rest of Anne's adventures!

Peacefield Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Excellent, Kylie! I have the set, but I've only read the first 2 books for some reason. I need to read the rest since I love the story too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in good company here. I'm still making steady progress with The Glass Bead Game and hope to finish it in the next couple of days. I got The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner in the mail yesterday, and today my partner will be picking up a book parcel for me - the box set of the Anne of Green Gables books (8 in all). Well I am suppose to be away until the Sunday. Not too long as he is coming over for my kids School Holiday and wants to experience A British Halloween, man he is going to be disspaointed. But on a bad note at the monent I am at Heathrow airport on my laptop waiting for my flight to be sorted out. Arrived with my E-ticket that I got through a online company (I shall not mnetion the name) and I get to the flight company and they say they have no information about me!!!!! WHAT!!!??? call the people I got the ticket from who state that yes my ticket is valid and all I had to do is asign my seat placing. My flight is in 2 hours!!!!! what the??!!!! Not happy, people keep blaming people Not sure what to do, I have insurence but not sure if I will be able to get another flight today. so i am just sat at a Costa coffee trying to pass the time But to cheer me up as for books: New Moon by Stephanie Mayer, The death Collectors by Jack Kerley, The lost book of salem, Eclipse by Stephanie Mayer, Books 3, 4 & 5 of the Sookie stackhouse series. the broken bones by jack kerley, dexter by design and I Alex cross by James Patterson. Oh and some boring books for work purposes. *sigh* No time to read today, either.. Just too busy right now! Hopefully I"ll have some free time soon and can catch back up.

Glad you're all stocked up on books and ready to read on the plane, too.. sounds fun Thanks Bethany, yes I am ultra excited, can't wait to finally see him! Yay for reading NM, Catwoman!

I haven't done much reading today so far, but got to page 61 of 'Bitten' last night before falling asleep. Hopefully I'll squeeze in a bit more tonight, although I'm hitting the hay early since I'm up at 5am tomorrow, ugh.

MuggleMagic Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I got a fair way into The Night Watch yesterday and am really enjoying it I will certainly stick this one out. Very engaging characters I was also surprised to find that the copy I have has been signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
