Well atm I'm reading Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan, I started this book ages ago but stopped half way through to have a break.

TBH at first I thought I'd found the perfect author for me, as the book started off great but, as I have got through it I have realised I don't connect with the main Character Auraya. I prefer some of the other characters in the book. I'm just over half way through it as I picked it up again the other day, and am going to try and finish it soon. I am enjoying a bit more, but still think this Auraya character is boring atm.

Same here Margo, I have to admit that I'm not overly keen on this book yet I adored her previous triology as the characters were fab :D

I'm going to get her BM trilogy too, as you've said it was great. Tomorrow I'm off to get two books, but can't decoided whether I should stick to just one author for now or mix them?

I'm thinking of getting either;
James herbert
Mary Higgins Clark
Virgina Andrews
Dean Koontz
James patterson

But decisions decisions!! LOL

Hi Angel, I'm looking forward to getting it tomorrow now. :mrgreen:

Trying to get through POTW tonight, I am a bit disappointed in this book, it is a chore to read in places. Have read 433 pages of it and have about 230 pages to go and still nothings happened :roll:

But will finish it before I move onto a another one.
