I'm still not too far into this one as it is a bulky read and I have to read in large chunks to absorb everything. I'm about 20 chapters in so far but I am really enjoying the story so far. The annoying thing is, she keeps ending her chapters on cliffhangers and so you have to read on to find out more!! So many times I've said "i'll finish reading this chapter and go do the housework", only to find myself still reading an twenty minutes later lol

Thank you Kell. I only realised how long it had actually been the other day and it felt such an achievment I'm an inspiration to others because if I can do it then ANYONE can lol

it's become quite popular here too.... I'm having to fight the boyfriend for it lol

Just been in waterstones and seen they have a paperback copy of it now Oh well, I managed to only pick up one book today, I'm being good :angel: I got the Darran Shan trilogy, which I can't really be held accountable for, it was all Kells fault

I'm still ploughing on with The Historian, it's really really heavy So far liking what I read although it's a bit difficult as it's not a book you can read bit by bit, you really have to dedicate some time to it I'm getting there eventually though, I just have to fit it in around my OU studies at the minute. :read:

I have the same problem Icecream!! I have a list on the computer and I carry a list around in my bag too..... just in case I 'find' myself in a bookshop or near the market I also have to carry a pen too so I can add to it when I see something else

it's definately a good read Kell, as long as you don't get hung yp on tiny details and just like the story

I enjoyed this one Margo, it's lovely and discriptive. I hope you enjoy it too.

Today i finished The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury and The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman. I enjoyed the Ice Queen even though it is quite a sad read. I love the way Hoffman writes, she can be so descriptive with the simplest of ideas and really bring them to life for her readers. The Last Templar is a great story. Along the lines of The Da Vinci Code but IMO a book written for film rather than just to be a great book (if you get what I mean???) It was very blockbuster-ish in some parts and I honestly feel the book could have been better written. If you bring it down to the basics though, a great plot idea. I loved the story within I shall now concentrate on the Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

it all depends on the mood i'm in at the particular time I'm looking for a book to read. If I'm not into it after a couple of chapters I will try another until I find something.

I've managed to read the first few chapters and so far I'm quite intrigued....

I can but try lol

Just been to the library again and got myself the following Elizabeth Kostova - The Historian Philippa Gregory - Zelda's Cut Sarah Dunant - The Birth of Venus Alice Hoffman - The Ice Queen They should keep me going for a while I was going to start on the Historian this afternoon but the boyfriend has pinched it instead.... will have to be faster next time I shall read the Ice Queen instead

It doesn't matter to me, winter or summer, I usually have my nose stuck in a book lol

I managed to get through the first 100 pages now, but I've decided to read Raymond Khoury - The Last Templar instead. A much easier read so far.

I've started the Joyce Carol Oates book, because it is bitter and because it is my heart. This one caught my eye as I was wandering the library and I thought I would give it a home for a week or two I can't seem to read it for long though, I've picked it up twice but am only about thirty pages in. I am enjoying the story thus far, I just find myself having to re-read sentences to get what she means.... I shall try and persevere with this one and see how far I get

I like Jodi Picoult books, but most of the time they're like goldust to get hold of. Unless you've read them of course, then they pop up everywhere.

I suppose you have to bear with them for the whole story, I just got a little bored. If I see the other booka in the library I may get them but I;m not hunting for them if that makes sense??

Finished reading Sabriel this afternoon, I wasn't that impressed with it to be honest and I don't think I will be looking for the others. He had a great idea but the book was a bit stale, like he had the story the padded it out to get a trilogy out of it. I also didn't like the way he wrote, I couldn't see this book appealing to either adults, teens or children really. Quite a disappointment. May pick up the Joyce Carol Oates book next.

Been to the library again today and got a few more books (these are ok because you have to take them back - can't get shouted at ) Started reading Sabrial - Garth Nix. So far so good.

Also started and finished, Kaitlyn by Kevin Lewis Supposed to be along the same lines as Martina Cole. I liked the story but unfortunately didn't live up to the Martina Cole rival I thought it would be, it just wasn't gritty enough Still an entertaining enough read.

I finished Jung Chang - Wild Swans over the bank holiday weekend, i enjoyed this one, although slightly long winded, it is a great read about three generations of women living in China. A bit too much politics for me to completely follow, I did get a bit bored at times but the story is still there

I finished the Virgin's Lover last night. A great story but I thought the ending was a bit rushed. I'm going to read Wild Swans now

I'm still reading The Virgins Lover - Philippa Gregory, this is by no means an indication towards the book, I've just been busy. I'm loving the story so far, as with The Queens Fool.

I agree Inanna, I liked all the Dan Brown books. The fact he managed to keep my interest through topics I previously thought were 'above me' is just proof of what a great story writer he is.
