Athena Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I'm reading Nick Hornby - The Complete Polysyllabic Spree. According to GoodReads this is part one in the series, however on Wikipedia it lists The Polysyllabic Spree going upto 2004, whereas my Complete goes until 2006. Is it all the books in the series, or the first two or something, does anyone know? I'm quite liking it so far, although I haven't heard of most of the books he's read so far. I've added a few books to my wishlist XD. Edited July 8, 2013 by Athena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Started and finished Dragons Oath by PC and Kristen Cast which is part of a series I've been reading. It's always nice to catch up with old characters. Have now started One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I didn't know anything about this book when I started reading it but I'm doing OK so far about a quarter the way through. I've got to make the most of my time off work because I don't seem to be reading nearly as much these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I started Death at Victoria Dock by Kerry Greenwood today - it's the fourth in the Phryne Fisher series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just finished 'Tell The Wolves I'm Home' by Carol Rifka Brunt, easily a 4.5/5 if not more, I need to see how I feel about it after a little time goes by.. Quite a coming of age story, all about how young people can live their lives very individually, not actually realising others may be affected in ways completely unknown to them.. The blurb on the book doesnt do it justice at all. This one has been on my wishlist for quite a while now. I just finished Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson + Axel Scheffler, and I´m in love. It was just so sweet. And finally my copy of Affliction by Laurell K. Hamilton arrived, which means I´ll be very busy the next few days. She is one of my favourite writers, and I can´t believe, that this is already #22 in the Anita Blake series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I feel like I'm so behind on everything. There's just not enough time! I'm only half-way through Hyperion. I'm enjoying it but it's not the kind of book I can read quickly. I can't guess where it's heading or how it will conclude, as it seems to be quite different to other books I have read. Or maybe because its sci-fi (or should that be SF? ) and therefore in my mind, a bit unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsa Orlong Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (or should that be SF? ) Yes. Yes, it should 450 pages into Blood Song now. Was too tired to read much last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm reading Nick Hornby - The Complete Polysyllabic Spree. According to GoodReads this is part one in the series, however on Wikipedia it lists The Polysyllabic Spree going upto 2004, whereas my Complete goes until 2006. Is it all the books in the series, or the first two or something, does anyone know? I'm quite liking it so far, although I haven't heard of most of the books he's read so far. I've added a few books to my wishlist XD. I don't think the book's a series in itself. As far as I know (and if I remember correctly), the book's a collection of Hornby's articles/blogs/whatever in a newspaper. Maybe they've added new ones to the book as it was, making it a new edition. A bit like 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, which comes up with additions and removals every few years. This is just a guess, though! Maybe he's come up with a new book I was going through my bookcases yesterday to think of something to read and picked up Jodi Picoult's The Pact. I got straight into it and read 188 pages. A great novel so far! Really touching and well written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Peter Pan is on my shelf, look forward to hear what you think! I'm almost finished with the For Dummies book on the Kindle, not sure yet what my next Kindle read will be, perhaps another For Dummies book or a self-help book or maybe one of the short story collections I have on there, or hmmm..

Athena Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Could someone pin this topic and unpin and lock the June one? I'm reading Nick Hornby - The Complete Polysyllabic Spree and nothing on the Kindle. I'll probably be picking my next read soon, I'm not sure yet what though I'm leading towards another information book (non-fiction). I find it easier to read one fiction and one non-fiction book as opposed to reading two fiction books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookmonkey Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Finished New York by Edward Rutherfurd. Can't remember the name of the book I started last night, but it's not very good, so I'll start something else tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD It was great, as far as I got The Pact is one of my faves by her, right after My Sister's Keeper I have to look that book up! Awww .. yes, what a great story I was thinking about you when reading the book, thinking that if you haven't yet read it, you'd really like the writing! Unfortunately Peter Pan wasn't my cup of tea last night (nothing wrong with the book, I'm just more into plot than writing now, as I'm getting more anxious and excited towards the weekend...) and I picked up The Silver Linings Play Book. What a weird read so far. Not in a bad way, but also not in the best way either. I have to read more to get my head around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I love My Sister's Keeper, I highly recommend it, frankie! Sorry to hear Peter Pan isn't your cup of tea. I've heard good things about The Silver Linings Play Book but I don't know if it'd be my thing (or yours for that matter). I look forward to hear what you think when you're further into the book.
