  1. I finished The Five Greatest Worriors by Matthew Reilly just in time for his talk about it. 200+ people came tonight to hear him talk about his books. He is totally kickass and so nice. I urge anyone who likes 'on the edge of your seat, hold your breath & take a sick day to read' books to pick up one of his they are awesome
  2. I'm finally onto The Five Greatest Worriors by Matthew Reilly. it's awesome so far just need to finish it before Friday now:smile2:
  3. oh snap I just finished this too. I'd be interested to hear what you thought of it. I'm starting on the second in the series today Six Scared Stones. I need to get this read and the last ( The Five Greatest Worriors) before Friday when I get to hear the author speak about them YAY!
  4. Yay another Marsden lover we seem to be few and far between - people just don't know what they're missing by not reading the Tomorrow series:friends0:
  5. I'm re-reading Seven Ancient Wonders by Mathew Reilly. Gearing up for the third book The Five Greatest Worriors which is released in a few days. I also scored a ticket to go and hear the man himself talk about his work next week which I'm over the moon about I can't wait!
  6. I went out and bought some more penguin classis to my collection they look like this if you type exclusive penguin classics into the waterstones site most of the others avaliable come up. I can't wait to finish the collection.
  7. I finished Morgassa's Folly today and made a start on Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier
  8. I have and when I stumbled across this one on fantastic fiction i had to get it. I was completely hooked when I read that the girl's name is Heffa Lump
  9. today I ordered Pemberley by Emma Tennant, Darcy's story by Jane Aylmer and New Moan by Stephfordy Mayo - the first book in the Twishite series - just a bit of light reading.
  10. I finished Pride and Prejudice on Saturday and it went striaght into my favourites - why I didn't read this years ago I'll never know. I'm starting on Morgassa's Folly by Paul Collins and Danny Willis
  11. I'm up to Vol 2 in Pride and Prejudice and loving it. I also went out yesterday and bought: Persuasion - Austen Mansfield Park - Austen and Tallow - the curse of the bond riders book one by Karen Brooks
  12. I've got the same copy of Pride and Prejudice and I've been carring it round in a towel so as not to damage it, so I know how you feel
  13. I started Pride and Prejudice last night as part of my read 1 classic for every 10 fiction books last night. I'm kicking myself that I didn't read it years ago it's lovely.
  14. I finished The Pinhoe egg today. Quite sad I wish this series could go on forever. These books will be on my re-read list for many years to come.
  15. I finished up Conrad's fate tonight and look forward to starting the Pinhoe egg tomorrow. Tis a little sad though to come to the end of such a wonderful and quite unique series of books - they will go on my all time favourite list I think.
  16. So far this year I have reached my target of reading 52 books (up to 59) and I'm now aiming for 90. I have 116 on the TBR pile and it'll keep growing as I buy at least 1 new book a week. And finally, where do you hope your reading will take you in the next 6 months? In the next 6 months I want to set myself the following challenges: - read at least 1 classic for every 10 'modern' books - finish the bazillion series that I've started - re-read some favourites maybe have a re-read month, and not feel guilty - start and maintain a reading thread on here - aim to read 100 books next year
  17. you should check out Moers The Alchemaster's Apprentice which has just been released too - it looks like it'll be a cracker.
  18. I finished up Jeremy Clarkson's Born to be Riled and I'm either going for another Diana Wynne Jones book or Pride and Prejudice. I'm thinking more the Jones as Austen is a hardback and I want to be able to read in the bath tomorrow:lurker:
  19. I have The Dante club here. I read it years ago and remember being really confused - but that's just me. I'm happy to send it on to a new home if your interested in it? let me know:smile2:
  20. I'm halfway through Born to bo riled by Jeremy Clarkson - I'm hoping to finish by the end of the week.
  21. I'm Jeremy Clarkson and I have an opinion on everything and I'll tell you all about it
  22. Finished up Mixed Magics last night. Not sure if I want to read the next Chrestomanci book or read something completely different like a Jeremy Clarkson book. Think it mighht be Clarkson.
  23. Finished The lives of Christopher Chant tonight and will soon be starting on Mixed Magics. I'm on such a roll it's getting crazy, hope my mojo stays around when I run out of Diana's books!
  24. It was years before Christopher told anyone about his dreams. The lives of Christopher Chant - Diana Wynne Jones

I hit the shops and came home with Wildwood Dancing - Juliet Marillier The poison throne - Celine Kiernan The society of S - Susan Hubbard The foreshadowing - Marcus Sedgwick and The colour of magic - Terry Pratchett when I got home I found these waiting by the front door The robe - Lloyd C Douglas The boy with the cuckoo-clock heart - Mathias Malzieu and The book of lost things John Connolly
