Kylie Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks for the warning *drags bedding into doorway and gets comfy* I'm sorely tempted to start reading a third book right now. I'm not in the mood for Macbeth at the moment; it's too close to bedtime to be concentrating on that. Hmm, I think I'll start on the next Sookie Stackhouse, Living Dead in Dallas.

cosychair Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Woo for The Historian, Steeeeve! Excellent book . I got about halfway through The Swan Thieves over the weekend and am enjoying it muchly. I'm really curious as to how it's going to end! I also received Laurell K. Hamilton's Guilty Pleasures as a late birthday present from a friend last night at dinner so I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about with this series. Glad to hear your enjoying The swan Theives I'm planning on it being my next book. Finished Fallen, the last half was almost like a different novel, it wasn't amazing but the series does have a lot of potential. Currently reading the 1st sookie stackhouse, it's good but I get the feeling since I've watched the true blood series I could skip the first bookBand not loose the plot, but I like it enough to finish it.

Nollaig Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) *Sigh* I went to the charity shop. At least my haul only cost 5.50 euro. My euro sign isn't working? Oh well. I got: A December Wedding - Anita Shreve (Just because I loved the other one I read) The Lady & The Unicorn - Tracy Chevalier (As above) AND I, Lucifer - Glen Duncan (Which I am thrilled about because I just decided the other day I wanted it.)

Scarlette Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I completed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, today. I thought it was very entertaining. Next I'll be reading Angel Time by Anne Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Lady and the Unicorn is my fave Chevalier, Noll, so I'm excited to got it! I just finished re-reading it again a few weeks ago . I only managed a few pages of The Swan Thieves last night since I had lots of stuff to do at home and then had to hit the hay early since I was up at 5 this morning. It's still very enjoyable though. I hope you like it Cosychair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexicola Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I got Lost in a Good Book out of the library today. I still have Jane Eyre to finish, and The Eyre Affair to read but I'm really looking forward to them, having heard so much praise for Fforde's work I love having a whole series/works awaiting me, it's something to look forward to!

The Eyre Affair is quite an easy, enjoyable read, I am by no means a prolific reader and I got through it in a weekend. If you are familiar with the classics that are referenced throughout you will enjoy it more than I did, the in-jokes really meant nothing to me. You might spend most of the book wondering if he gave the book the wrong name though, (you will know what I mean when you read it) I am just over 100 pages now into Lost in a good book and it's great!

As of this moment First among sequels is the 5th and final book in the Thursday Next series. The other series Fforde has done is called 'Nursery Crime' that currently has 2 books, the 1st book is The big over easy and the 2nd is The Fourth Bear. His latest is Shades of grey that was released in January, and is not connected to either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunn300 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Back at work so have read about 50 pages yesterday and today of Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby. Enjoying it so far, easy going typical Hornby read. However even though my reading has slowed have continued to buy books mentioned on here. Since joining the forums on Saturday have added 7 new books to my tbr pile and want quite a few more. Never mind, really enjoying being in love with reading again and experiencing new authors and genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
