Kell Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Tooth Fairy certainly has me hooked. The author does seem to have strange ideas about sex... It's kind of compelling, isn't it? Some of the scenes feel almost wince-worthy, but you still can't look away... Quote
Michelle Posted January 10, 2006 Author Posted January 10, 2006 What a book! You have to 'go with it' instead of trying to dissect and understand it too much. I still say that the author has issues with sex, because the way he wrote those sections was just odd.. almost as if he hated it. Trace turned up this morning, so I guess I should move on to that one now. Quote
Michelle Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Decided against Trace. (Anyone want to buy it?! lol) Have started Masterton's Spirit, and I can't decide what I think. At the moment it feels like it's all going to be a bit predictable.. I hope there's some good surprises. Quote
Inanna Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I enjoyed 'Spirit' was a good book IMO, I'd not read too many 'ghost' stories before and I enjoyed his style. Quote
Michelle Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 Ok, so Spirit seems to be veering away from 'predictable', so that's good. For some reason I'm not enjoying it quite as much as I should.. I think I enjoyed all of Kelley Armstrong's books so much, and then Odd Thomas, that nothing else is quite matching up right now.. iykwim?! Quote
Michelle Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 I ended up really enjoying Spirit.. I liked the ending being a little unpredictable too. Quote
Michelle Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 I've just started 'Child of Time' by Isaac Asimov - seems very interesting so far. Quote
Michelle Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 Argh.. I'm in the middle of Child of Time, Devil In Grey has become our next reading circle book, and both American Gods and Forever Odd are waiting for me at the library!! Too many books, not enough hours! lol Quote
Michelle Posted January 22, 2006 Author Posted January 22, 2006 Child in Time has gone on hold for now, which is a shame, as I was enjoying it. Devil In Grey is good, but I'm not sure if it's just a gory horror story, or if there will be more to it. Then I have my 2 library books to pick up! Thanks for giving me a nudge to look into my library more, Inanna, and online ordering.. looks like when the system works, I can save myself some money! Quote
Inanna Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I generally use the library to get in all the new releases that are too expensive to buy and to try out an author, if I then like that author I'll buy the books, but I find the library is great if money is tight Quote
Michelle Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 DIG is going well, but I'm not going to say much until others have had a chance to read it first. I've just picked up American Gods and Forever Odd from the library. Quote
Michelle Posted January 26, 2006 Author Posted January 26, 2006 Well... I'm not sure how long I'll get to keep the library books, and American Gods is so long.. so I started Forever Odd tonight. I'm not sure if I'll read both at the same time. Plus I desperately want to keep on with Child of Time.... Too many books, not enough time... Quote
Kell Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 You can always get them out again if you don't finish them by the due date, 'Chelle. Whenever I get to the library, I take out a huge pile & then end up taking the last one or two out again when I take the rest back - LOL! Quote
Michelle Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 You can renew unless someone else has requested them. As Forever Odd is fairly new, there's always that chance... Quote
Michelle Posted January 29, 2006 Author Posted January 29, 2006 Unfortunately I gave up on American Gods, as it just didn't grab me. I'm about half way through Forever Odd.. although it's a good read, it's not as good as Odd Thomas. Quote
Inanna Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I'm about half way through Forever Odd.. although it's a good read, it's not as good as Odd Thomas. See I found Forever Odd easier to get into than Odd Thomas, but I found the build up of the story better in Odd Thomas Quote
Michelle Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 Yep, as a 'story', Forever Odd starts well, and keeps flowing. But, I really enjoyed getting to know the character in Odd Thomas, and how his 'gift' affects him. Quote
Michelle Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Forever Odd was good, but the ending disappointed this time round.. whereas with Odd Thomas, I thought the ending was really good. Finished Child Of Time last night.. an easy book to read, but some interesting concepts, and the 2 tales are well interwoven. Quote
Michelle Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 Have started Nicci French's Killing Me Softly - a very interesting start, and it's really holding me. I'm fascinated to find out where she's going with the story. Quote
Michelle Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 I love my library.. now I have more authors to look out for, I've just realised there's loads there! I've just picked up Famine by Graham Masterton, and Regina's Song by David and Leigh Eddings. I've read a fantast book of theirs, which I really enjoyed. This one is described as 'part mystery, ghost story and psychological thriller'. Oh.. and I got Gothika to watch too! Quote
Inanna Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 So you'll be a library regular like me now eh? I love the library Quote
Michelle Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 I've been expecting good things of Masterton now, but Famine has me disappointed. Quote
Michelle Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 I took Famine back today - disappointing stuff. I've picked up Isaac Asimov's Caves Of Steel, as I enjoyed Child Of Time. I saw Labyrinth on the shelf, but it was on hold for someone else. Looking on my elibrary, I'm 3 of 4 waiting for it. The ladies there also said they'd had a message through saying how popular it was. We got chatting, and I told them about the forum, and left a little flier with one of them. They've also said it's ok to leave some leaflets there. Kell.. did you get round to making anything leaflet sized? Quote
Kell Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Not yet - I haven't been able to increase the graphic size enough without it blurring, but I could do something along the lines of what's on the homepage with the graphic size increased just a little if you fancy. Quote
Michelle Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 Which graphic do you want? I can send you the books at any size, but will need to redo the lettering. Quote
