muggle not Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I've finally bowed to pressure and started The Hunger Games I enjoyedthe Hunger Games series last year. Probably, second to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Edited April 4, 2013 by muggle not
risingdawn Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I finished A Christmas Carol this morning and recently started Agnes Grey. It's quite good so far.
karen.d Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I've just finished reading 'The Kashmir Shawl' by Rosie Thomas and overall, I really enjoyed it, although the ending was a little disappointing. Now I'm about to start 'Carrie' by Stephen King
Kidsmum Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I finished A Christmas Carol this morning and recently started Agnes Grey. It's quite good so far. Hope you enjoy Agnes Grey i read it a few months week ago & enjoyed it though it's not as good as The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall IMO I started Digging To America by Anne Tyler this morning.
chesilbeach Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Finished reading Fire Burn And Cauldron Bubble by H. P. Mallory and have been listening to a Doctor Who book, The Art of Destruction this afternoon. An ebook I'd completely forgotten that I'd preordered was published today, and at a bargain 99p it isn't going to break the bank!
Sofia Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I enjoyedthe Hunger Games series last year. Probably, second to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I'll be reading that series soon too

I can see slight similarities to Jane Eyre, but obviously it's a different Bronte. I don't actually know the synopsis but good so far. My first novel I have read by this Bronte.
Janet Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I am about half way finished reading "Water For Elephants" by Sara Gruen. Why hasn't anyone told me about this wonderful book. Or, have you and I didn't listen. Aww, it's a lovely book - I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've (temporarily) stopped reading Kiskadee Girl by Maggie Harris (World Challenge book - author born Guyana!) and have started The Elephant's Journey by José Saramago (WC Portugal and my Book Club book).
Miss Mabel Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I am about half way finished reading "Water For Elephants" by Sara Gruen. Why hasn't anyone told me about this wonderful book. Or, have you and I didn't listen. I read this book a few years ago for my Real Life (RL) book club and it's one of my all time favorites. Isn't it just wonderful!?!
frankie Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 , Less than 100 pages to go in If Not Now, When? Primo Levi, this has been such a thought provoking read i couldn't sleep last night for thinking about the story & i had to resist going downstairs to finish it It's going to be a hard book to follow. I missed this before for some reason... Did you enjoy it until the bitter end? It's on one of my reading challenges and I've heard it's definitely worth a read... I am about half way finished reading "Water For Elephants" by Sara Gruen. Why hasn't anyone told me about this wonderful book. Or, have you and I didn't listen. I think quite a few people on here have loved it! I then read and finished Roald Dahl - Matilda, thought I would read something a bit easier on the mind. It was a great book! I read it in Dutch when I was a child and decided to try the English book (see herefor a review). It's such a great story, with beautiful illustrations (by Quentin Blake). It is such a great book! Have you seen the movie? (with Danny de Vito, for example) That's how I came across with the story in the first place. I would definitely recommend it It's one of the cases where the movie's good but so's the book! I hope your mojo will get better soon, frankie! Thanks Athena, I hope so too, it's so weird when I don't feel like reading, at all! Now I'm about to start 'Carrie' by Stephen King That's a great novel, I hope you enjoy it! It's pretty spooky...
Ben Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Book activity for the day: the purchase of On the Road by Jack Kerouac. That counts right..
muggle not Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Janet, Miss Mabel, and Frankie - I finished reading "Water For Elephants" tonight.It is the best book that I have read so far this year. I cannot give it enough praise, thoroughly enjoyable.
Kidsmum Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I missed this before for some reason... Did you enjoy it until the bitter end? It's on one of my reading challenges and I've heard it's definitely worth a read... I really enjoyed it Frankie ; it;'s one of those books that stays in your head after you've finished reading it. I have another of his books on my TBR pile If This Is A Man. The Truce about his time in Auschwitz but i'm going to wait awhile before i read that. About 60 pages into Digging To America & enjoying it so far
Karsa Orlong Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Hoping to finish The Lies of Locke Lamora today
chesilbeach Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Finished The Art of Destruction by Stephen Cole and have listened to Jeeves in the Offing by P. G. Wodehouse this morning, read brilliantly by Simon Callow.
karen.d Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I've finally bowed to pressure and started The Hunger Games It's worth reading!
karen.d Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 That's a great novel, I hope you enjoy it! It's pretty spooky... Thanks Frankie I've seen the film version and that was pretty creepy! So far the book is proving good too.
Sofia Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 It's worth reading! it's going pretty well so far...I'm about 200 pages in & enjoying it....though I admit it's an easy book to read
karen.d Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 it's going pretty well so far...I'm about 200 pages in & enjoying it....though I admit it's an easy book to read Great! I found this triolgy to be so engrossing, that I whizzed through each book.
Athena Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 It is such a great book! Have you seen the movie? (with Danny de Vito, for example) That's how I came across with the story in the first place. I would definitely recommend it It's one of the cases where the movie's good but so's the book!x I love the movie too! It's different from the book but I love them both. I recently bought the film on DVD, we have it on VCR tape but I liked it so much I wanted it on DVD since VCR's are old these days. It's what inspired me to buy the book.
lauraloves Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I'm really enjoying Wolf Hall now and i'm about to read a few more chapters
chesilbeach Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I started my latest M. C. Beaton acquisition this afternoon, Annabelle and already about a third of the way through - can't see this one lasting long!
Janet Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I found I Can't Stay Long by Laurie Lee for 50p today so I just had to buy it!
