Charm Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 It was good brought a whole load of things together and left space for more, I still think the first few were the best though! Oh same here! I'll definately be adding this to my next book order. Have you read the first of the angel series Covet? It's not as good as the BDB books, but still worth a read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Today I read a couple of pages of Eyes Like Stars on the bus (must... finish... in view of the sequel's imminent release!), and skim-read Elizabeth Smart's I Sat Down at Grand Central Station and Wept, or something to that effect, in work. I thought it was great in places but not so great in others; I just wish she'd gone all out with the literary references and cut down on the mundanity, because if she'd done so we would have had a shorter but in my opinion much tighter, coherent, gripping work.

Peacefield Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Finished Industrial Magic today! I also stopped by Barnes & Noble earlier this morning and picked up a gift certificate and tote for my mom for Mother's Day on Sunday. Picked up '1 Stock, 100 Soups' recipe book for me too! It's been so chilly and rainy here lately I'm in the mood for soup . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 WOW! panic stations for a moment there then i realised it's diferent dates in UK and US LOL Yes! In fact, wasn't it last month for you guys? Mother's Day is a bit early this year here. So many times in the past we'd be up at the cabin because of opening fishing weekend, and that always falls on the 3rd weekend of May. My mom loved being up north in the woods that weekend . Smelly fisher-people and traffic jams was her favorite, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I started and finished Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic. Wonderful poetry. I also read a couple of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Managed about half of The Last Child by John Hart last night, reading till I couldn't prop my eyes open anymore, about 2:30 a.m. Worth it. Well done. And bought another by John Hart, Down River and The Lay of the Land by Richard Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read a couple of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories last night. I'm so glad you enjoyed Light in the Attic, Kylie! Shel is excellent - I wonder if he's still out there writing?! My friend brought me Water for Elephants tonight so I'm excited to read that one soon. Need to see what all the fuss is about! I was also given The Crimson Pedal and the White and a random vampire book that I can't remember the title of at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you also need to read the book before you can go and see The Neck in action :lol: Oooh The Crimson Petal and the White! The Rory Gilmore bunch of us are reading the book at the moment (some of us have finished it already, not me unfortunately!), you fancy joining our little group?

Kate Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I have just been to the library. I took out Stardust by Neil Gaimon, yay! Going to read more of Q & A today though - about halfway through I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rory Gilmore bunch of us are reading the book at the moment (some of us have finished it already, not me unfortunately!), you fancy joining our little group? True! Thankfully they haven't yet started filming Water for Elephants so I have plenty of time, but I'm going to enjoy picturing The Neck as the main character when I do start reading it . How are you finding Crimson Pedal, Frankie? It's quite a large book, and I started reading The House at Midnight last night and am really getting into it so I think I'll save Crimson Pedal for later . I might still join the group though just so I can say I'm in with you cool peeps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I read about 20 percent of The Silver Swan by Benjamin Black last night. I enjoyed Black's previous Quirke mystery, Christine Falls, but so far Swan seems like the same novel, slightly altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 My main book is a non fiction book at the moment about the English middle classes. Sounds dull but it is interesting. However I am switching to Lyonesse 2: the green pearl when I need a break. Bought two books on the way to work, one of them is Frankenstein by Ms. Shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katrina1968 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I've been in a reading drought for the last 4 months, having time to read only "required" books. Now I feel like I've been thrown in an ocean of books and I dont know where to start! I've actually started two books, one by Simon Tolkien called "The Inheritance" and the other is from the "Evans" series, titled "Evan's Above". Its a mystery set in the Welsh country with people being flong off the mountains and such! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
