Louiseog Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 The Bone Garden, Tess Gerritsen Really different great Skulduggery Pleasant. OK probably won't read any more, did like that characters but didn't set me on fire! Quote
Louiseog Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Sepulchre, Kate Mosse - not that far in but the same as Labyrinth in feel although not story Quote
Angel Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Is it as good as Labyrinth Louise - I keep hesitating over that one Quote
Louiseog Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Is it as good as Labyrinth Louise - I keep hesitating over that one Very similar in organisation, loved Labyrinth but not that bothered at the moment Quote
Weave Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Louise, you have such a broad scope reading wise, well done, keep up the good work. Quote
Louiseog Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Louise, you have such a broad scope reading wise, well done, keep up the good work. Ooh I'm blushing!!! Thank you Am about to abandon Sepulchre though don't like the characters! Quote
Louiseog Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 Gave up in fact is back in the library, Val McDermid Beneath the Bleeding, much better! Am on strike tomorrow so plan to read all day! Quote
Louiseog Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Beneath the Bleeding was great, next in the Tony Hill Wire in the Blood series which had got a bit scarey and over the top, this was much better, more realistic and a clever twist. Sue Townsend, Number 10 I loved this if you've read The Queen and I or Queen Camilla its the same theme, the Prime Minister has had enough so goes on a tour of the country, really biting satire actually but it is the people in the terrible places who prove to be the heroes. Not sure about next! Quote
Louiseog Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Ruso (Medicus) and the Disappearing Dancing Girls, RS Downie great Roman murder mystery, easy and good story. Wendy Holden School for Husbands - just what it should be! Easy story, not too sad. Goodies were goodies, baddies were a pantomime of nastiness! And all well at the end! Quote
Louiseog Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Gervase Phinn Over Hill and Dale another James herriot for teachers about an inspector in the Yorkshire Dales think that's enough of this author for a bit! Quote
~V~ Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Ruso (Medicus) and the Disappearing Dancing Girls, RS Downie great Roman murder mystery, easy and good story. I liked that one too - I have the next one on my bedside table waiting to be read Quote
Louiseog Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 I liked that one too - I have the next one on my bedside table waiting to be read Ooh have ordered it from library! Quote
Louiseog Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 Gave up on Reina James This Time of Dying and am now on WInter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell, hmm Quote
Louiseog Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 Why did you give up on it? Just didn't grab me, read the first 50 pages, couldn't rememebr who the characters were and didn't really care about what happened to them! Don't think I'm saying that it was a bad book in any way, just not for me. Winter's Bone was strange, set in Missouri Ree's dad is a crank maker (I don't know what crank is but its illegal - drug or alcohol) her mum is mad, dad disappears and if he doesn't come back he will lose his bond, so she atrats to look for him. Very tightly written - characters develop fast and the events are only over a few days, quite shocking in some ways. Don't think I got it! Heartsick, Chelsea Cain, gory thriller. Just trying to work out whether its in UK or USA which is annoying me a bit Quote
Louiseog Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) It's in the USA in case any one was wondering, Portland. Really enjoying this one Gory and thrilling but with an optimistic feeling at the end, tortured cop may actually get better! Principessa Christa Dickason I emnjoyed this not much to think about but in this sequel to the Firemaster's Mistress think she has created a likeable and believable character and the situations he gets into are exciting, all in all a good read Edited May 10, 2008 by Louiseog Quote
Louiseog Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) The Hindi Bindi Club - Monica Pradhan Really enjoyed this story of first and second generation Indian immigrants in the US. Recipes start each chapter some of which sounded yummy! Nice family tale The Looking Glass Wars Frank Beddor - someone on here mentioned this and I got it on that recommendation, loving it already - retelling of the story like Wicked but am preferring it to that. Edited May 15, 2008 by Louiseog Quote
Louiseog Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Loved the Looking Glass Wars and can't wait to read the next! Coraline by Neil Gaiman, short, for younger readers and absolutely terrifying! Quote
Guest Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Christ on a bike, Louise - how many is that you've read this year so far?! Quote
madcow Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Christ on a bike My daughter is always saying that Quote
Kylie Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I'm glad you enjoyed The Looking Glass Wars, Louise! I also picked it up recently based on a recommendation from here, but I haven't read it yet. I'm looking forward to it even more now! Quote
Louiseog Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Christ on a bike, Louise - how many is that you've read this year so far?! 60. Plus 6 audios Quote
Louiseog Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Christ on a bike, Louise - how many is that you've read this year so far?! My daughter is always saying that Well she shouldn't. It's disgusting! Quote
