bobblybear Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I finished NOS4R2 by Joe Hill. I really didn't like it much. Now I'm feeling a bit morbid so I have started Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies and the Making of a Medical Examiner. Quote
Anna Begins Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I finished NOS4R2 by Joe Hill. I really didn't like it much. That's too bad, I guess you just don't get on with Hill. I liked Victoria, thought she was great. I am 50% in my re-read of Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale. Quote
Raven Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Read the Ladybird Book of Dating this evening, very funny. (I don't think that it is going to help). Quote
Janet Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I read bits of a few of those Ladybird books in Waterstone's last week - very funny! Quote
willoyd Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Just finished The Well of Loneliness. Well enough written, but thoroughly and tediously miserable. Dragged more than any book of recent recall. Glad to have moved on, and have now started The News From Waterloo by Brian Cathcart. Quote
BookShelfy91 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Currently reading (just started today) "Song Of Susannah" By Stephen King. Not the first time I have tried to read this series but it is the first time I have gotten this far into the Dark Tower Series. I am really enjoying it. Cheers, Shelfy Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 I finally finished The Bone Clocks!!! It's been such a long read, I'm still trying to decide whether I enjoyed it or not. Went to Waterstone's yesterday to see if they had Ali Smith's new book, but no luck, however, they did have a copy of her first novel Like which has been reprinted and I've never read, so I bought that instead.

chaliepud Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I've had a good reading week, I started and finished The Ashgrove by Diney Costeloe (4.5/5) and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon which was a different but good YA book. Now starting The Humans by Matt Haig. Quote
Janet Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Just finished The Well of Loneliness. Well enough written, but thoroughly and tediously miserable. Dragged more than any book of recent recallOh dear! I'm not looking forward to this! I finished this week's installment of A Tale of Two Cities yesterday and read some more of Love for Lydia by H E Bates. Quote

BookShelfy91 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I've just finished Stephen Kings Insomnia again, took a while to read but it was worth it. Next up im starting ... What's Insomnia like? Shelfy Quote
frankie Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I finished reading The Bird of Night by Susan Hill (finally a TBR book I can cross off the list! ) and then I started reading Anttu ja minä by Pertti Pakarinen. Quote
Alexi Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Just finished The Well of Loneliness. Well enough written, but thoroughly and tediously miserable. Dragged more than any book of recent recall. Glad to have moved on, and have now started The News From Waterloo by Brian Cathcart. Oh dear! I might put that one off for a while... Quote
geordie9 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 What's Insomnia like? Shelfy Very good book, easier to understand if youve read Dark Tower series. Quote
bobblybear Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I've started South Riding by Winifred Holtby. Good so far...I like her writing style. Quote
Inver Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Hoorah...picked up another Diane Chamberlain...(yeh I needed this one honest, it is the first one of trilogy I didn't have as I have the other two). There is a little local coffee shop that has shelves of books, you can take one/leave one. I saw this months ago and kept forgetting to go back to get it. I had picked up one of the others in this trilogy there before, but not realised it was part of 3...and it was still there....so swapped my book, had a coffee and scone and read the book I had with me....bliss. 'Keeper of the Light' by Diane Chamberlain Quote
frankie Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I finished Anttu ja minä, and started reading The Accident by Linwood Barclay. Quote

'Keeper of the Light' by Diane Chamberlain Nice!! I finished A Handmaid's Tale and started my favorite book, Gone With the Wind. So delicious already. Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 I started The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell today … it's brilliant! Already half way through Quote
Inver Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 ...., Gone With the Wind. So delicious already. One I have always meant to get around to reading Quote
Janet Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I finished A Handmaid's Tale... Was this your first read of it? What do you think? I've been feeling under the weather today. On the plus side, I read 230 pages of, and therefore finished, Love for Lydia by H E Bates and also read the very short poem book Dorothy Wordsworth's Christmas Birthday by Carol Ann Duffy. Quote
Anna Begins Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Was this your first read of it? What do you think? It was a re-read... I originally (last year) gave it a 2/5 But I've been through thick and thin with Atwood- with the MaddAddam trilogy. I just read her latest The Heart Goes Last (awesome) and it made me re think that 2/5! I loved it- but my Kindle automatically excluded the Historical Notes, which totally changed the whole thing... you have to use the back button on the Fire when it dumps you into the Amazon bookstore Quote
chaliepud Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I've given up on The Humans by Matt Haig, not my cup of tea at all.. Will start Inside The O'Briens by Lisa Genova this evening hopefully. Quote
bobblybear Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 'Keeper of the Light' by Diane Chamberlain I think I have this one on my TBR pile. I tend to pick up any Diane Chamberlain when I see them on offer, because they never disappoint. I finished A Handmaid's Tale and started my favorite book, Gone With the Wind. So delicious already. I loved Gone With The Wind when I read it a couple of years ago. Soooo good. I've given up on The Humans by Matt Haig, not my cup of tea at all.. Oh no, that's a shame! What was it that you didn't like about it? Quote
