I Am Legend? Hmmm.... I know it is probably a great book because I've seen the film, but the vampires are a bit too much like the infected in 28 Days Later, which totally gave me nightmares for weeks! I think I'll skip it Lover Unleashed, on the other hand, just has to be read I'm afraid, it's the law in my house!

We both have impeccable taste! Ooooh yes, he's powerful, strong, handsome, very rich and deadly. What more could a warmblooded human want? You really should get your hands on this peace, I think it's totally up your ally! I've just finished it girls, I think you two would both like it. It's just the sort of thing I imagine you would both enjoy reading

Good grief, it doesn't take much to interest you two does it? A lushious lead, a story steeped in history, witches & magic and you're both sold??? .....actually, sounds bloody brilliant, I'm not surprised!! I've just literally finished it. Thanks to Michelle I learned it was the first of a trilogy so, naturally I went on to the Deborah Harkness website to find out what the next two were so I could order them straight away, and discovered the second one isn't even out until 2012! I don't even know what it's called!! Can't even think what to read next ... *sniff*

I thought you'd already read this, in fact I think I got the idea to read the book from you somehow Did I see it on your Library Thing on FB? How are you finding it now? Isn't Matthew dreamy? I'm loving it I have to say, and the settings and history element are fascinating to me, even if a lot of the magical history is fiction, very entertaining I suppose you could also describe it as a fortunate accident? Fortunate for my TBR pile anyway

It is utterly brilliant. I think I can safely say it's my favourite read so far this year, and would definitely be in my top 10 I really really want to continue reading it, but I don't want it to end! I love it! I was going to wait until I'd finished it and then come and recommend it to you, I think you'd like it peace, I think you'd really like it. The male lead is now my new lust object, he is lush!

No! Think The Historian meets The Physic Book Of Deliverance Dane and you'll be on the right track

I've accidently purchased more books I've just added them to my TBR list at the beginning of the thread pushing it up to 80 again I bought: Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane (the front cover of which looks remarkably like the Sookie Stackhouse covers with the blonde girl on the front) Night Shift by Nora Roberts Nightshade by Nora Roberts Night Smoke by Nora Roberts .. in my defence all 4 came to £6.99

Me too, I wouldn't mind if it was a bargain, but I paid full price for it too However ... I'm reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, which is proving to be a great read so far, definitely making up for the Eastwick failure

I'm up to chapter 11 now in A Discovery Of Witches and am really enjoying it. My one gripe is, it's a huge hardback and really heavy to read in bed. It almost knocked me out last night as I dosed off! .... although, at least I was in the right place

Finished City Of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare and started A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness

I finished it earlier, fantastic series, can't wait until the next one now!

Thanks hun, I think you'd be right, just stick with the film

I finished Sin Undone by Larissa Ione and am now 100 pages into City Of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

I can nearly guarantee that this one will be your favourite!

Check out Karen Rose books, they are really good suspense thrillers with a good romance story throughout

The Witches Of Eastwick ~by~ John Updike Synopsis courtesy of Waterstone's: The air of Eastwick breeds witches - women whose powerful longings can stir up thunderstorms and fracture domestic peace. Jane, Alexandra and Sukie, divorced and dangerous, have formed a coven. Into the void of Eastwick breezes Darryl Van Horne, a charismatic magus of a man who entrances the trio, luring them to his mansions... Having seen the film version of this, I was really looking forward to the book as, more often than not, the books are usually better than their films. I was wrong in this instance. The synopsis is one of the most exciting things about the book. I think it had a lot to do with the writing, the author spent way too much time on descriptive narratives, which often stretched a paragraph on for a full page. Then when something reasonably exciting did occur, it was written so matter of factly within a long laborious paragraph, that I almost missed it and had to read it twice to make sure I'd got it right .... something did actually happen! The story dragged, the characters were limp and unimaginative and the ending was anticlimactic. If you've seen the film, don't let the book spoil it for you. 4/10

Finally, I finished The Witches Of Eastwick (thoughts to follow). It seems as if I haven't been in here in ages to update, cause it has taken me so long to read one book. I've also added two more to my TBR pile, although I only bought one of them! For Mother's Day my son bought me The Girl In The Mirror & The Memory Maker, two short stories in a lovely hardback book by Cecelia Ahern, along with chocolates (which I had scoffed by the end of the day! ) and flowers. Also while we were passing one of the bookshops in town, I spied The City Of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare in the window and promptly sent my OH in to get it for me, I didn't even realise it was released! It is now however, waiting patiently on my shelf to be read

Great little series to bring back your mojo, the books get better and better as they go along I finally finished The Witches of Eastwick and think I need a little Larissa Ione to pick up my mojo. I'll be reading 'Sin Undone' next

You're on fire woman, 56 books! Thank goodness you haven't done a Lover Unleashed review, I came in looking for spoilers!

I am still reading The Witches Of Eastwick by John Updike. It has become my mission to finish this one in the next couple of days

on both accounts. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant book! The film just annoyed me because they left so much out, both versions

Great review Weave! I also almost gave up after 'Bitten', so pleased I didn't. I kinda warmed more to Savannah in this one too, hope to read more of her

Uh-huh, I'll bet! Aw hun, you have my sympathy . Here, have some of the cookies Chrissy sent me , you'll feel better (excuse any feathers you may find )
