lopeanha Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I've started reading Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini and I'm 95 pages in and not sure what to think of it and if I should read on or just pick up something better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Finished Nemesis by Jo Nesbo this evening/ early morning. Thoroughly enjoyed it although the ending could have been a little better, proper review to come once I've had some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 I have gone back to reading We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. I had to start from the beginning again because I couldn't remember what I had read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nearly finished Fatherland by Robert Harris which I'm really enjoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nearly finished Fatherland by Robert Harris which I'm really enjoying. I really enjoyed Fatherland when I read it, the mix of fiction and history had Hitler won the war was great. It lead me to go on and read other Harris books which I found equally enjoyable. I just wish he would hurry up and finish the 3rd Cicero book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Three quarters way through Never Look Back and really enjoying it, hoping to have it finished tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Glad you liked this Kidsmum, I thought it was a really good book with some wonderful characters, your sister's in for a treat. I loved it & it's one I wouldn't have picked up if I hadn't read about it on here so thanks to everyone who recommended it I finished God's Own Country by Ross Raisin yesterday, it was good but strange, lots of Yorkshire dialect words that I'd never heard before. I'm going for a quick read next just to finish off the month One, Two Buckle my Shoe by Agatha Christie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I just wish he would hurry up and finish the 3rd Cicero book. DITTO!! Cicero is a special favorite of mine, and the first two were pretty good. Three quarters way through Never Look Back and really enjoying it, hoping to have it finished tonight Is that the Harlan Coben? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 DITTO!! Cicero is a special favorite of mine, and the first two were pretty good. The release I penned in for some point this year. I know when The Fear Index was published he said that he was most of the done with the 3rd Cicero book but I haven't heard much since then.

Alexi Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I finished Moab is my Washpot (at last, work is much more demanding these days!) Really enjoyed this - love Fry's style, and although he can labour some points he has had a fascinating life! I am now starting Cloudstreet by Tim Winton, in anticipation of everything taking me bloody ages to read these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Managed to finish Mirrors of the Unseen and a cracking read it was. The author has written another travel book about Afghanistan, so will think about reading this in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipread Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Pipread, I'm glad you enjoyed The Art Of Racing In The Rain, it's a great little book. It definately is a great book Yay, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Did you need tissues? Finally, time for Dexter I can't wait to hear what you thought about the book. Frankie I was sitting in the doctors waiting room, tears streaming down my face when I read the last few pages and I was still tearful when the Dr called me in! He must have wondered what he was in for!! It's got some classic Dexter phrases in places, it's going well Edited June 25, 2012 by pipread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have wondered what he was in for!! Awww that's so sweet! I bet your doctor's expression was pretty priceless It's got some classic Dexter phrases in places, it's going well I'm happy to hear that!! I wonder if it can be as good as Dexter is Delicious, that's my favorite one in the series... I think I'm off to bed for the day, me and The Regulators.

LouisaMarie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just finished The Hunger Games which I read in a few days and although I enjoyed the story I felt the writing was a bit basic. I plan on reading the rest of the series soon. Before this I read Owen Jones Chavs which was the first non-fiction book I read for pleasure. I found it inspiring and I highly recommend it as it is easy to read without much knowledge of politics. Tonight I aim to start Stephen King's Carrie.

bobblybear Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Started The Quest for Anna Klein by Thomas H Cook. Took a while to get into, but I think that's because I was tired when I started it. Never a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
