pontalba Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'm reading the latest C.J. Sansom book, Lamentations. Finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 They are both very well written characters, aren't they? I think Sidney Grice is so rude, but I just can't wait to hear what he has to say next. Yep, they are. And I love that March keeps saying things like 'Why are you so mean'? On a happier note, I have started The Curse of the House of Foskett. Yay! Hopefully I'll receive my copy next week. I'd better get a wriggle on and finish the first one then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobblybear Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Yay! Hopefully I'll receive my copy next week. I'd better get a wriggle on and finish the first one then! 30% in and I can safely say that it's as good as the first book.

Nollaig Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Oh that's good to hear- I really want to read it- its on the short list for when I get home. I'm almost halfway through now, still love it. Think it'll probably be a 4.5 star read, if it ends well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Woohoo for this! I'm glad you finally got that over with then . I know, but now I am enjoying Champion. 80% in and its going fast! Should be done by the time I leave. I'm almost halfway through now, still love it. Think it'll probably be a 4.5 star read, if it ends well.

chesilbeach Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm still reading The Goddess of Buttercups and Daisies but I'm really enjoying it. It'll probably keep me going today and possibly tomorrow as well, as I don't think I'll have much reading time today and then back to work tomorrow.

Nollaig Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Finished The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. Wobbled a little towards the end, but that's my own bias against faerie-heavy stories. Review to follow (still need to review The Quiet Earth too). No idea what's up next, but I did just get a proof copy of Uprooted by Naomi Novik through my door this morning so I suspect it might be that!

frankie Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Love Emma!! Me too! I don't think I'm more than 70 pages in and she's already bedazzled me on half a dozen occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobbled a little towards the end, but that's my own bias against faerie-heavy stories. Review to follow (still need to review The Quiet Earth too). Oh no, that sounds awful, compared to the synopsis! I was thinking more of the/a devil. I've finished off Athena and my read of Marie Lu's Legend Trilogy for our discussion when we meet up. I finished Champion early this morning, reviews to follow our discussion in Amsterdam (and I have a lot to say ). Now I am going to read Brandon Sanderson's short story Perfect State.

Nollaig Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Oh no, that sounds awful, compared to the synopsis! I was thinking more of the/a devil. No its very much in the vein of Tithe/Valiant/Ironside, but more emphasis on the human stuff. And much better. Very good read, genuinely.

pontalba Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Lamentation by C.J. Sansom. (Page 437/642). Really excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to hear it ! I hope you enjoy Perfect State, I'd be happy to hear too what you think of this one . I'm currently reading John Flanagan - Ranger's Apprentice 11: The Lost Stories, which contains short stories that take place in this world.

Nollaig Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik and so far it's very very well-written. Absolutely no idea where the story is going to go, but there's over 400 pages of it and it's definitely piqued my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felidae Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Due to being bery busy at my internship and having to read lots of scientific papers there my own reading has dwindled to near nothing.. Have started to read Time's Eye by Arthur C. Clarke etc, but is hard to focus when you only feel like reading once a week.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I finished reading Emma and I last night and started reading Maiden's Grave by Jeffery Deaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I finished The Goddess of Buttercups and Daisies today. Not sure what to read next … have two library books out, so should probably read one of those, but a bit tempted by the book jar. I might pick a book out of the jar and see what it is and then choose between that or the library books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Maiden's Grave by Jeffery Deaver. That's the one and only Deaver I've read so far - thought it was very good. Enjoy! Finished The Shrinking Man. Now trying to decide what to read next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm still reading The Goddess of Buttercups and Daisies but I'm really enjoying it.
