chesilbeach Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Wow, September's here already! Almost the end of summer for us in the northern hemisphere, and looking towards spring for those in the southern (I think?), but will if affect your reading? What are you currently reading, buying, cataloguing, and enjoying ... or not?
86WM Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Less than 100 pages left of The Mammoth Book of Native Americans by Jon E. Lewis. I intend to finish it tonight, then a trip to the library tomorrow to find something new!
bookmonkey Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Finished A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton yesterday. It was OK. I'm going to try the next one in the series at some point to see if it improves.
pontalba Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Finished A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton yesterday. It was OK. I'm going to try the next one in the series at some point to see if it improves. I found that it did improve as I read along the series. It was only around S is for Silence it started mucking up for me. So you have a bit to go.

So you have a bit to go. Thanks for that Pontalba. I'll keep going then. Have to see if my library has some more of them.
Athena Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) I'm currently reading Markus Zusak - The Book Thief, I think I'm about half way through the book. It's quite good so far, though it took me a few pages to get used to the narrative style, at the beginning. Edited September 2, 2013 by Athena
chaliepud Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I finished another book finally, The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker. It was a little simplistic as written from the perspective of an 11 Year old girl (though I would have said she seemed more like 13) but I did actually enjoy it. I have now started Cassandra Clare's City of Ashes.
Timstar Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 About half way through The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, it's very short and barely just enough words to classify it as a novel, but very good and worth reading!
Sakura Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I've just finished Hammered, and already ordered the next 3 books in the series. Good stuff. I also got started on Magic Bites. Not sure what to make of it yet, but the premise seems new, at least. And I'm reading a few pages of Ocean at the End of the Lane here and there. It seems a suspenseful scene, but I'm having a hard time getting back into it.
Karsa Orlong Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Dun-dun-DERRRRR! Just finished The Count of Monte Cristo
Eleonora Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Great job, Karsa.. it took me so long when I had to read it at school. Maybe I was to young or maybe it's because it was an homework, but I didn't like it. I would like to re read it now though, as an adult. I finished JR Moehringer's The Tender Bar.. loved it. Also finished the essay on the war in Bosnia.. it was really tough.
86WM Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Started reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown last night, almost finished it in a little over 24 hours! Next up is Lonesome Traveler by Jack Kerouac.
green Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) I'm 140 pages into The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith aka J.K.Rowling.Very impressed so far,but as I've never read Harry Potter there's no comparison. Going to collect The Unseen by Katherine Webb from't library later. Edited September 3, 2013 by green
Carelia Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I'm still trodding through the hunt for red october. I like it because it gives a lot more detail than in the film, and the descriptions of the cold war is really interesting. at some points it gets a bit too descriptive of various names and military codes etc but I guess it's required for the book!
Sofia Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Almost halfway through Life After Life and it's finally picking up!
ChrisD Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Currently 74% through The Road and somewhat unsure how I feel about it so far. Will see how it ends but it almost feels like very little has happened throughout. Hoping for a big twist/turn. Also still reading through The Leadership Challenge, the first 2 chapters were very interesting but the 3rd chapter was far too long too essentially just say, "believe in your own values not somebody else's".
Athena Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I've started reading Susan Hill - Howards End is on the Landing (paperbook). I've nearly finished Temple Grandin - The Way I See It (Kindle).
Wipples Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 A Marker to Measure Drift – Alexander Maksik
frankie Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I've started reading Susan Hill - Howards End is on the Landing (paperbook). I've nearly finished Temple Grandin - The Way I See It (Kindle). I dare you to try and not add any books to wishlist while reading Howards End I haven't had much time to read. I'm off to bed soon, hopefully I can get some done tonight.
Brian. Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 I picked up The Leopard by Jo Nesbo last night before bed. Great start to the book so far.
Devi Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 I'm currently reading A Soldier's Tale - M.K. Joseph. i think my mojo is coming back!
pontalba Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Haven't been reading much the last several days, just picking at various books. Still have The Infatuations here, will finish. I actually quite like it, I'm just, seemingly, in a bit of a reading slump. Life intruding on reading.......

chesilbeach Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Haven't updated in a few days, but I finished Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger and The Little Village School by Gervase Phinn and I've started Requiem for a Mezzo by Carola Dunn.
