Kell Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'm going to have to do the same - the forum won't let me put any more books in my "what I've read this year" post and it's only half-way through April! I shall have to have a rethink as to how I'm organising my thread... Margaret Atwood seems popular at the moment - she's on several people's lists right now I think - mine included...

mrstrecool Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 OK, I know this is irrelevant, but your avatar is too scrumptious for words!!!! You've read so many books already, I'm so slow! My Mum is desperate to read Shopaholic and Baby, and I want to read Chocolate Lover's Club. I've got a few of your books read on my LibraryThing wish list.

Weave Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 I am still reading 'The Myth of You and Me' by Leah Stewart which was a bit slow at the start but I am really enjoying it. I am also reading 'Alias Grace' by Margaret Atwood, which I am really enjoying, Grace is a wonderful character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Well I finished 'Alias Grace' by Margaret Atwood and what a book, I really did not expect what happened to happen, and it was just brilliant how it was written, and the characters were brilliant, I actually liked Grace, she was a nice enough lassie.
