Kidsmum Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I finished Mutant Message Down Under this morning as i wanted to make a start on one of my Mother's Day pressies Letters To Alice On First Reading Jane Austen by Fay Weldon.
Sofia Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Finished Rebecca and really enjoyed it....trying to figure out what to read next
Lucybird Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I finished Life After Life which was, well, amazing. I am sad to have finished it, not sure where to go next with my kindle books. Off to write my review now whilst the amazement is still there (is amazement a word?)
bobblybear Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I think I'm going to give up on Dangerous Liaisons. I really hate the idea of giving up on a Reading Circle book, but I just can't bring myself to read anymore of it. I can only read a few sentences, and then I have to put it down and do something else, because I find it so frustrating and boring. Last night I finished Zombie Fallout by Mark Tufo, which was a really fun (and funny) read. This morning I bought Instructions for a Heatwave by Maggie O'Farrell, which I'm looking forward to.
bookmonkey Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Finished Love Over Scotland on the weekend. Another enjoyable read from Alexander McCall Smith.

Awww, sorry to hear that, but ya know...if it is bogging you down and is frustrating to you, as New Yorkers say.....fuggedaboudit! Life is too short.
Karsa Orlong Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 as New Yorkers say.....fuggedaboudit! Definite Sopranos moment . . . I'm just over 300 pages into The Mozart Conspiracy.

Life is too short. Yah, it's pretty much forgotten. I'm just annoyed because I wanted to finish it (but to be honest, I don't think I could even force myself!), but also I'm pretty sure I voted for it as well!!
ashleighjane Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I finished reading Happiness Key by Emilie Richards eariler today, and have made a start on A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.
chaliepud Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Finished "All These Things I've Done" by Gabrielle Zevin which was very disappointing after enjoying "Elsewhere" so much... Have started "The Girl You Left Behind" by Jojo Moyes, I'm hoping its going to be as good "Me Before You"...

Feel free to come over to the Reading Circle thread and answer any questions you can, and let us know why you didn't like it - it will all add to the discussion.
bobblybear Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks Chesil. I shall pop over to the thread at some point to vent discuss my thoughts on it. Finished Playing It Safe: Crazy Stories from the World of Britain's Health and Safety Regulations. Now I'm about to start Maggie O'Farrell's new one.
Timstar Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Finished Dr. No which is one of my favourite Bond's so far. Started the second half of A Storm of Swords, Blood and Gold.
bobblybear Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Loving Instructions for a Heatwave. I'm always a bit worried before starting a new book by a favorite author, in case it won't live up to my expectations. But, no worries here so far.
Karsa Orlong Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Started the second half of A Storm of Swords, Blood and Gold. I'm quite jealous of you reading that for the first time
Brian. Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I had to wait around in town yesterday for an hour waiting for an opticians appointment so I decided to drop into the library to use up the time. I ended up starting and then borrowing The Procrastination Equation by Dr Piers Steel. The physcology behind why we do it is fascinating and I'm most of the way through the book already.
Eleonora Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I'm still in the middle of A Clash of Kings by G.R.R.Martin because I had to take a break from it. In the meantime I finished Bennett's The uncommon reader and Mischa Berlinski's Fieldwork.
Charm Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Haven't read anything worthwhile in quite a bit. Hoping I get inspired while here
Athena Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I've finished reading Susan Hatler - Love At First Date and am still reading J. R. R. Tolkien - The Hobbit. I'm about two thirds of the way through, I hope to have it finished today. The old-fashioned writing style is bothering me less now because the story's so good. I'm eager to find out what happens next.
Inver Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Thank goodness.....finished Mockingjay and started 'The Story of Us' by Marcia Preston.
risingdawn Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Getting close to the end of The Reality Dysfunction now. About 200-300 pages left. Hoping to finish it tonight but most likely tomorrow.
Athena Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 @Chloe (risingdawn) That's really nice! Are you still confused or is it a bit better now? You're making me eager for a reread XD even though I didn't read them that long ago relatively speaking and I kind of told myself I should read more of his other work first. Do you know what you'll read next? Hope you enjoy the rest of the book . @Diane (Inver) The Story of Us sounds interesting! I look forward to read your thoughts once you've finished it.
bree Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 A little over half way through Wuthering Heights. I don't like it at all. The violence and the ugliness in it is getting me down.
karen.d Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I've had to give up 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel. I found the writing to be too confusing and generally a very difficult read. So now, I'm starting 'The Green Mile' by Stephen King. I love Stephen King novels and 'The Green Mile' is one of my favourite films, so I'm more optimistic about enjoying this.
lauraloves Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I'm really struggling with Dangerous Liaisons but have an evening free tonight so will try and get into it a bit more tonight!
