bookworm44 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 In the past two day I've only managed to read 100 pages of The Prince of Tides. I think it's the small print. I can't stand small print! =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipread Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I'm getting on well with Trial & Retribution II. Lynda la Plante does not disappoint. I read my first Lynda La Plante book last week, Red Dahlia, thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to reading more of her work. Nice to have you back! I'm now up to page 205 of Copycat and starting to get into it, just another 532 pages to go, just as well I'm enjoying it! Glad your mojo's behaving!

Stephanie2008 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I didn't want to read a new book so I decided to reread Time Traveler's Wife and I'm falling in love with it all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookJumper Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Today I: - pottered around the second-hand bookshops of Stratford-Upon-Avon and drooled over pretty books I could not afford - emerged from the local Waterstone's with a much longer wishlist than I had entered with (let us just say, I had to be asked to leave ) - read 7 pages of Jack Vance's The Dying Earth on the bus so far so good - I'm not sure I'm too keen on the distressed damsel element, however the man has a way with words so I'll probably forgive him.

Pixie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Today I: - pottered around the second-hand bookshops of Stratford-Upon-Avon and drooled over pretty books I could not afford I know this feeling, Bookjumper. I am half way done with Kafka on the Shore and I can't express how much I love this book so far. If the author's other books are similar, I am going to be in new-author-to-adore-but-can't-afford-it-heaven(or hell, depending on your perspective).

AbielleRose Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I read a few more chapters in Glass Houses and am itching to finish it so that I can start the next book in the series! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitegold Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Finally finished The Pact by Jodi Picoult. It picked up near the end. Nothing like My Sisters Keeper, but still good Now I need to pick my next read. I'm debating between: Eat, Pray, Love or Her Fearful Symmetry.

tunn300 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon yesterday, a really excellent read. I am now going to start Little Hands Clapping by Dan Rhodes. Edited August 5, 2010 by tunn300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Finished the wonderful A Widow for One Year by John Irving. Thinking of picking up Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey. I read it decades ago, but can't remember most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'm totally at a loss. I don't know what to read next and it's making me edgy. I don't like this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) What are your options? Well... 270 books on my TBR You can take a look at my reading blog if you want to help Edit: I'm getting rid of a few books that I've read and will not read again. Fortunately one of the Denmark posse girls I'm seeing this weekend is an avid reader too and she's glad to get them all. I'm donating Lynda la Plante's Trial & Retribution II, Karen Harper's Down to the Bone, Peter Robinson's Aftermath, Henning Mankell's Sidetracked and John Ajvide Lindqvist's Let the Right One In. My friend collects Mankell herself which is great but she hasn't heard of the other titles before. I'm just glad that I know these books will be given a loving new home Edited August 5, 2010 by frankie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 - emerged from the local Waterstone's with a much longer wishlist than I had entered with (let us just say, I had to be asked to leave ) They asked you to leave? Why? I've spent hours in the ones in Bath, Wells and Trowbridge and nobody has batted an eyelid. I'm still plodding through Lovely Green Eyes by Arnošt Lustig. It's a bit dull, to tell the truth, but I'm going to have to persevere with it as it is the Czech Republic book for my World Challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I read about 75 pages of Little Women and a bit of A Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Both are great books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 They asked you to leave? Why? I've spent hours in the ones in Bath, Wells and Trowbridge and nobody has batted an eyelid.Because everything that isn't a restaurant closes at six in Stratford, and I'm used to Londonite hours now !

TheNinthWord Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I've just finished The Fellowship of the Ring on my quick re-read of the trilogy ready for my uni course. Onto The Two Towers now.

whitegold Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I picked Eat Pray Love for my next read. I'm not that far in to it but I am really liking it so far. Her writing flows nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Butter Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Started Hans Fallada's "Alone in Berlin" while I was away. It's a truly excellent book, even allowing for the clunky translation. Highly recommended, and I don't say that about too many books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I bought Geordie Vs Mackems by Ian Black and Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller for £1 each I'm about 30 pages into a reread of Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
