After a couple of days new bookless and having to re-read some old favourites i have been lent

 

Fludd - Hilary Mantell

Murder on the Leviathan - Boris Akunin

 

will have to see if I like this Mantel having found others very odd.

 

I hope you enjoy the Boris Akunin book Pickle. I've read quite a few of them (although not that particular one) and they are very good. The hero, Erast is quite a quirky fellow, rather reminds me of Poirot in a lot of ways.:lol:

 

I'm getting into the Sixth Lamentation, I read a bit more yesterday and am quite enjoying it.

Currently reading The Railway Detective by Edward Marston and I'm enjoying it so far. It's quite interesting to read a mystery book set in the 1800's as I've never really read any before apart from The Bone Garden, which switches between the current day and the 1800's..

 

I had a copy of 'The Sixth Lamentation but for some reason never got round to reading it! Let me know how you get on with it!

Will do Melisa:)

 

I've read the Railway Detective and loved it. I'm fascinated by books centred around the age of Steam.

Today I bought pristine hardcover versions of book 8 and 9 in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Secondhand versions, from our secondhand book store (yes, pretty much the only one), one for 10 euros, other for 12,50. Yay. :D

 

Only reading the third book now still, but now the paperback versions cost me about 10 euros, rather have hardbacks. :lol:

After about half an hour ho-humming over several other books, I finally decided on ordering these from Amazon:

 

The Lone Ranger & Tonto Fistfight In Heaven - Sherman Alexie

Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes

Dracula: His Life & Times - Radu Florescu

^ Those three weren't in question. The next two were:

The Art Of Racing In The Rain - Garth Stein

Quantum - Manjit Kumar

 

So yay! Books coming in the post, always makes me happy.

 

The ones I decided against (just for now) were:

The Once & Future King - T. H. White

Dorian: An Imitation - Will Self

The Maze Runner Trilogy - James Dashner

Dracula: The Dragon Prince - Michael Augustyn.

I'll be shoving Heresy by S.J. Parris into my purse today, hopefully I'll find the time to start it!
When I started reading this I wondered what you were going to say...:lol:

:D I was thinking what a big purse Abi must have - until I realised she must mean handbag! :lol:

:D Perhaps 'purse' is the wrong word as I actually use a messenger bag complete with all your typical purse nesessities, sketch book, notebook and usually a bottle of water or a Diet Coke. Just to clarify.

 

I haven't actually opened Heresy yet today. The brain just isn't in it.

I just finished Human Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I was a little disappointed with the ending but all in all a great read.

 

I think I'm going to start reading Helter Skelter next, but we'll see.

I'm waiting with bated breath :lol:

 

33 pages read so far, it's mighty creepy! I was reading it in bed last night and I have to say I was really jumpy about all the normal noises in my apartment.

 

Today my mom bought me Push by Sapphire. I can't wait to read it! :lol:

 

Oooh, that's a good one! I hope you enjoy it :D
