Does 'Book Activity' include reading Frankie's wishlist in her swap thread?

Have you already got the next one in the series JB? If you are anything like me, you'll want to start it as soon as you finish this one! A very readable series. My mojo is still away, despite the tempting of it will some Terry Pratchett, so I have tugged 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman off the shelf for a re read ready for the next Reading Circle read that starts this week. Love this book, so it should be just what the book doctor ordered.

A nice list there Malcore! 'Neuromancer' is a favourite of mine. I hope you enjoy it.

They do look good, and an unexpected wide range too.

My reading mojo has gone on holiday (again!), so I have decided to combine a planned re read with a mojo catching favourite series. 'I Shall Wear Midnight' is arriving here at tye beginning of June, so I plan on reading the earlier books in the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett before then. I love the series, and particularly adored 'Wintersmith', so I think this will sort out my a'wandering mojo.

I can second the Dexter suggestion, they are really good and all written from the killer's point of vew.

Neither have I (but would love to try it!) Never have I ever been ten pin bowling.

One I found was About Galveston. by Nic Pizzalatto, but it seems too recent.

Why would you like to discuss this very specific topic? What are your thoughts on these things? Did you enjoy the book overall? Who wrote the book?

I hadn't noticed this thread before Booknutt. I may have just downloaded this to my kindle ~ well, it's been a long week, and it looks good and I love Wales, and it's Friday, and chocolate is fattening, and the reviews are good, and well........you know how it goes sometimes. When it will be read is an entireky different story!

I'm sort-of reading 'Resistance' by Gemma Malley, the sequel to 'The Declaration', but I am suffereing from a wobbly mojo, so it's been a page here and a page there. I ordered an audio book cd of Salman Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children' yesterday. Having enjoyed listening to the BBC dramatisation of 'His Dark Materials' trilogy when attempting to tackle the jungle I call a garden, I was pondering what books I would like to have read to me during the many hours I have yet to spend getting the garden in shape. This unabridged version fits the bill. I love this book, and the narrator is Lyndam Gregory who I think has the perfect voice to read this fabulous story. My fingers are crossed!

It doesn't take long, although you pretty much have to sit back and get taken for the ride initially. Thursday's reality will soon become the norm for you!

I have just spent two glorious hours gardening while listening to a BBC dramatisation of Phiilip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. I finished the second half of 'Northern lights', and am part of the way through ' The Subtle Knife'. I didn't think I would enjoy it, but aside from laughing at the thick Yorkshire accent of alleged Bear King Iofur Raknison I am really enjoying it. There have been slight 'adjustments' here and there, but having read the books (once or twice) I am aware of them, but additionally aware that the changes don't change the story but hasten it in parts.

I knew about the hard reboot as I had to use it (worked brilliantly), but hadn't even thought of turning my Kindle off. I am therefore seconding Chesilbeach's thanks, and her day's new learning.

Although I want to re watch the episode from last night, 'The Doctor's Wife' my first impression (at a quarter to five this morning) was that it was brilliant! Matt Smith is just such a good actor, with nuance and subtlety that makes him a truly worthy Doctor. Barely supressed anger, menace, joy and longing - he brought the range. And this tale had Neil Gaiman's fingerprints ALL over it. I would have known he was involved just from the 'vibe' of the piece. Great TV.

I read 'The Group' about 15-20 years ago. My ex Mother-Out-Law gave me a batch of books that included this one. It's an interesting read, and I'm looking forward to seeing what y'all make of it!

Welcome back! Lots going on for you, but it all sounds ultimately positive which is great.

Gemma Malley's 'The Declaration' & 'Resistance' arrived today. The first is for my Mum to read ( I have it on Kindle), and the second is for the both of us.

There is a threadc here for 'Let The Right One In', a few people have read it. I have it on my Kindle and on my book shelf, but am yet to actually read it. It's near the top of my To Be Read pile, so maybe soon eh?

A beautiful Google animationtoday, celebrating the dancer & choreographer Martha Graham. Just lovely.

My apologies Frankie, but with Kylie not being here at present we take it upon ourselves to keep an eye on you. With all the *shudder* stories that Kylie has relayed to us about your trip, we think it only right that you are, how shall I put it? Monitored when online? *catches sight of an angry Finn*

I keep forgetting to dash in here and mention the day's Google page when it has been a good one. Today celebrate's thebirthday of Roger Hargreave's, the creator of the Mister men and Little Misses series. Google is swapping between different characters.

*cough* innocent? *cough, snigger, cough*

Voldemort would rank quite high up for me ~ mainly because I would be cr*p at being evil.
