Timstar Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Finished Chris Ryan's autobiographical account of his Gulf War mission that left him the sole survivor of his unit. Now started Dexter by Design
bree Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I'm pretty sure people have asked Goodreads to implement a page count challenge to go along with the number of books, but I doubt they will. Also, there are shorter books that may take longer to read - because of what they deal with, and how they're written, isn't?
ashleighjane Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I finished B is for Burglar by Sue Grafton last night. Today I've started on City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.
bobblybear Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I finished Pompeii by Robert Harris and I thought it was brilliant. I was totally gripped even though I knew what was going to happen! I have this on my TBR list; looks like it might be time to bump it further up!
Karsa Orlong Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I have this on my TBR list; looks like it might be time to bump it further up! Ditto!
Tiger Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Going to start Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel tonight.
Cookie Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I have started reading The Woman who Died a Lot by Jasper Fforde and so far it's shaping up to be a typically good read.
Lucybird Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I have started reading The Woman who Died a Lot by Jasper Fforde and so far it's shaping up to be a typically good read. I just finished that one. As enjoyable as ever
Devi Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I have this on my TBR list; looks like it might be time to bump it further up! So do I! I might have to read it after The Stand.
pontalba Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I finished B is for Burglar by Sue Grafton last night. Today I've started on City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I've read Grafton's series, up to I think, T is for Trespass.....after that I was a bit worn out with it. But I really enjoyed it up to there! I have this on my TBR list; looks like it might be time to bump it further up! I read Pompeii some years ago, and enjoyed it, but really, I loved Harris's books that are about Cicero...He has two out, and supposedly a third will finish off the life of Cicero. Imperium and Conspirita. Good stuff. I've started New York Trilogy by Paul Auster...I read the first of the trilogy about 6 years ago, and just couldn't get into it, verra confusing. However, nowadays I seem to have more of a handle on Auster. So, here I go, again! Edited February 9, 2013 by pontalba
Chrissy Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I read Paul Auster's 'New York Trilogy' many years ago. It is a strange one, I hope you enjoy it. No reading managed at all this week - but I hope to make up for this today and tomorrow. I just have to decide what book to read..........mmmm
Brian. Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I read Pompeii some years ago, and enjoyed it, but really, I loved Harris's books that are about Cicero...He has two out, and supposedly a third will finish off the life of Cicero. Imperium and Conspirita. Good stuff. I've not read Pompeii yet but the Circero books are fantastic. The last one in the series is meant to be coming out this year and I can't wait for it.
Timstar Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Finished Dexter by Design, it was great as usual, not the best but not the worst in the series. Good fun. Started Eye of the World by Robert Jordan.
Athena Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm currently reading Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult. I've read about 100 pages, it's pretty good so far. I'm hoping to read more of it later today.
frankie Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Read some more of Dangerous Liaisons - I absolutely love it! That's great! I'll be starting the novel later this month myself, I don't want too long a stretch between finishing the novel and getting into the RC I'm currently reading Donnie Brasco by Joseph D. Pistone, I'm about 80 pages in and it's going good, I think I've got my mojo back
risingdawn Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Mistborn Trilogy going good so far. Quite gripping. Love that about fantasy novels.
Athena Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm glad to hear it! Mine are still in the plastic XD (I bought the box set), I've only heard good things about it though so that's very promising. I look forward to read your thoughts once you're done .
Janet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I finally finished The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë last night! Yay! I thought it was great, but for some reason it took me three weeks to read it! Usually that happens in August, not January/February. I bought my daughter the first part of the Hunger Games trilogy - she's not a big reader so I'm hoping she gets on with it.
Jessi Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I begun The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory today - based on reviews, I didn't think I'd like it but so far it seems good.
chesilbeach Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm just over a third of the way through Dangerous Liaisons now.
bobblybear Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm just over halfway through Elizabeth Street. Once that is finished, I will be moving onto We Bought A Zoo by Benjamin Mee.
lauraloves Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I've finished The Borrowers Afloat and I've started The Borrowers Aloft
Argon9 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I have my usual free love attitude towards my books so I'm now reading the last bit of The Last Wish by Andrzej sapkowski which is the prequel of the book (blood of elves) I actually want to read after having had a really trippy dream some months ago where i asked a dwarf if he had it (he didn't) and accidentally burned his library down, I have had the need to read it ever since but it was no where to be found. (damned predicting dreams) Yes I should stop playing rpgs before I go to bed. So when i found it I ordered it and it should arrive somewhere this ... month? Plan B 3.0 uppdrag:rädda jorden (english title: Mobilization to save civilization) by Lester R Brown which is a rather heavy read really and triggers my "don't tell me what to do, damnit" senses quite often. Even if he has a few good points. I'm clearly not made for non fiction.Broken Furies by Richard Morgan Third book in the Takeshi Kovach trilogy and disappointing me since the first one (altered carbon) was so incredibly good. Not that it is bad, its just not that great. And lastly Skapende handling om ideernas födelse (creating habits; the birth of ideas) by Pirjo Birgerstam Which is boring me to tears.
chaliepud Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Finally finished The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, took awhile as haven't had enough time to read lately. Started Stolen by Kelley Armstrong, the second in the Women of the Otherworld series..
Inver Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Not much to read of 'Me Before You'..... might be needing tissues soon I think! And finished this afternoon. Edited February 10, 2013 by Inver
