Peacefield Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I bought another Tracy Chevalier book today - Burning Bright. Looking forward to reading it, but I have 1.5 Matthew Pearl books to read and 2 books to review over Christmas. Yeey. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about the .5 Noll! Have you written to Matthew yet by the way? Oh, and if you can, try to find Chevalier's 'Lady and the Unicorn.' It's my most favorite of hers and has a beautiful cover too . Sounds like you really made a haul there, Lexie! Thank goodness for grandmas and their Christmas money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I loved the first .5 and don't expect any change! Just been too busy to catch up with it. Also, did write, no response yet. I want all of Tracy's books, I really like her style and genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want all of Tracy's books, I really like her style and genre. Me too, Noll, she's definitely in my favorite author category. She has a new one coming out in January too called 'Remarkable Creatures,' which is about a female archealogist. I can't wait for it! Hopefully you'll hear from Matthew soon and I can't wait to hear what you think about the rest of DC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosalind Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I finished Marked on Friday evening. I really liked it, although the real good parts happen in the second half, typical start to a series book. On Saturday I started Sushi for beginners by Marian Keyes, only 1/5th far so can't really say yet if I like it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I finished Dracula The Undead by Dacre Stoker the other day and rather enjoyed it. Am now reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (for January Reading Circle) and Halfhead by Stuart B Macbride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I finished Dracula The Undead by Dacre Stoker the other day and rather enjoyed it. Really?! Wow. Well, I'm glad it was worth your while, obviously. I couldn't even review it. If I had only addressed what I liked, the review would have been about two sentences long. I thought it tried WAY too hard and had a ridiculous ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yesterday I finished The Flying Troutmans, taking my 2009 reading up to 140 books. I started The Wonderful Adventure of Uncle Wizard by Richard Anderson yesterday, hopefully will make a dent in it today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwoman Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I just have no time to read at the moment, and by the time I get to bed I fall asleep after 15 minutes. But I did take time out and have a coffee in the coffee shop and I am now up to page 80 of In the blood by J.A. Kerley. still going well I wish I had more time to read it. While up the village I went into the charity shop and got BONES: Buried Deep by Max Allan Collins. It is based on the TV show and does contain Kathy Reichs's Tempe. But totally based on the show. I think he wrote some of the CSI books on my shelf. I also got You can get arrested for that by Rich Smith. A guys account of going around the states trying to break some of the more stranger laws in the US, including * falling asleep in a cheese factory ( South Dakota) and *Play a trumpet with the intention of luring someone into a store (California). Looked funny so I decided to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel kay Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I finished Neil Gaimans Anansi Boys while on my lunch break yesterday, and last night I got stuck in to Scarlett Thomas' The End of Mr.Y.

Fallen - Lauren Kate Stolen - Lucy Christopher Evermore - Alyson Noel Secret Submission - Diana Hunter They'll get here just in time for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucybird Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I've not read any of my book today, just didn't have the concentration. I did read some of More magazine (which I don't usually read) while on my lunch break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm about halfway through Terry Pratchett's Equal Rites. For some reason it always takes me ages to read a Pratchett book. I'm not sure why because I find them really enjoyable. I just don't seem to get particularly invested in them to the point where I pick it up every spare second I get.

Nicola Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Still reading Anne Rice's Memnoch the Devil and really having to push myself through at the moment. There were moments like this in The Vampire Lestat too but it was worth persevering with that, so I'll keep going with this and hopefully it'll be just as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueK Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've had a fairly quiet reading time at the moment but I am a few chapters into Ruth Rendell's "Demon in my View". It's good to read some of her books again although they are somewhat dated. (Rent was only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
