Finished 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, it was really good, I enjoyed it a lot and I finished 'Sylvester' by Georgette Heyer which was really good too, I recommend both of them very highly.

I started 'The Color Purple' yesterday and finished today. Now I read 'The Color Purple' years ago and I swear I felt like I was reading a different book, it was a brilliant book and I seemed to identify more with so many aspects of it.

 

:lol:

I finished 'Wicked' it was a lot better than I thought I was going to be.

 

 

I was quite sad at the end though.

Finished 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. :)

 

I was very presently surprised by this book. It's very pacey isn't it. The first half of the book was absolutely riveting and very creepy.

Just finished 'The Midwich Cuckoos' by John Wyndham. John Wyndham's books had never really appealed to me, I did like 'The Day of the Triffids' (TV series) and 'The Village of the Dammed' (both movies). John Wyndham was a very talented writer (I know I am stating the obivious), 'The Midwich Cuckoos' was genuinely scary book for me, just how cold and calculated the Children were was a main factor, the isolation of Midwich was brilliant represented too, I actually felt claustrophobic.

 

I am about to start 'The Chrysalids' :welcome2:

I finished 'The Chrysalids' by John Wyndham and it was brilliant!, He caught the essence of the story so well, the mentality of the people, David's views changing as he got older, we found out what happened to Sophie. I really enjoyed it. :D
