Michelle Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 Looks like I'm talking to myself in here! Anyway, Blood Ties was brilliant! Review to follow.. Quote
Guest Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I'll talk to you. But I don't seem to have read any of the books you have. Quote
Guest ii Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I'll talk to you, Michelle, too. Any Way You Want Me by Lucy Diamond Is it just me or does that title sound dirty to you? (sorry, I haven't read any of the books you have so...) Quote
Michelle Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 Aww.. thanks to making me feel wanted! LOL Nici, you'll have to take a look when you get round to visit. Quote
Guest ii Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 It's a dirty book. That would explain it. Anytime, Michelle. Quote
Janet Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Looks like I'm talking to myself in here! I have that problem with my Blog too, Michelle! Quote
Guest Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Try some controversy. That always gets people talking. Quote
Michelle Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 Well, I have Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister in progress, but I'm really struggling with his style. I also have Creation in Death from the library.. nothing mind-blowing, but I always enjoy these books. I have the following on my 'to review' pile, which I need to get to.. The Blackstone Key by Rose Melikan The Blood of Flowers by Anita Ammirezvani Reading In Bed by Sue Gee Villa Serena by Domenica de Rosa I'd best get on with it! Quote
Michelle Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 Finished Creation In Death - there are certain things in those books that annoy me, but on the whole I enjoy them. Still plodding through Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. Think I will start The Blackstone Key in the bath.. I have no idea what to expect! Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 How do people read in the bath without getting the book wet? I've never been able to work that one out... Quote
Michelle Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 Erm.. just hold the book out of the water! (And yes, I do then put the book down, and wash my hands!) Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Erm.. just hold the book out of the water! (And yes, I do then put the book down, and wash my hands!) Well. I'm having a "D'oh!" moment here. Quote
Guest ii Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I once managed to set a book on fire while reading in bath. Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I just snorted with laughter in a very painful way. I demand you tell us this story, possibly in another more appropriate thread, but the world needs to know. Quote
Nici Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Think I will start The Blackstone Key in the bath.. I have no idea what to expect! I like the sound of that one, can you let me know how you get on please. Quote
Guest ii Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I just snorted with laughter in a very painful way. I demand you tell us this story, possibly in another more appropriate thread, but the world needs to know. I'm just writing a blog entry inspired by something that reminded me of, that story will feature in there as well... Exactly what is the Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister about? Is it as fluffy and ugly duckling-like as it sounds? Quote
Michelle Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 Nope, fluffy is not how I'd describe it! It's by Gregory Maguire, who wrote Wicked. Amazon link here. Quote
Guest ii Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 It sounds rather interesting... of course I'm partial to everything that has a character named after me. (no, not ego-centric at all...) Quote
Michelle Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 Oh dear - I've been so busy keeping my blog page updated, as well as my LT, that I've neglected this bit! Anyway, my list so far is here (blog), and here (LT). Quote
Michelle Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Somehow I manage to have six books on the go at once! A Difficult Boy by MP Barker and Dreams of Rivers and Seas by Tim Parks are both review books that I'm slightly struggling with. The last one in particular is taking a long time to tell it's story. In Search of Adam by Caroline Smailes is rather harrowing, but I do intend to finish it. Star Gazing by Linda Gillard because I couldn't resist! Unspoken by Sam Hayes. Torchwood: Trace Memory by David Llewellyn is underway because I've wanted something that needed no brain power a few times recently! Quote
Maureen Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Somehow I manage to have six books on the go at once! Heavens! Why would you do that? Quote
Michelle Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 Mainly because two are review books that I'm struggling with, so I needed something really enjoyable alongside them. Then I had a couple of evenings when I wanted to read, but simply couldn't concentrate, hence the Torchwood book! Quote
