Michelle Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have this terrible habit of adding to the list before I've taken any more off by reading them. Sigh.. a common trait here, I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've done it again - another 3 books that actually add up to 5: The Rosary Girls by Richard Montari (well, everyone seems to be talking about it, so I couldn't resist). The Accidental Mother by Rowan Coleman (I just thought it loked really good) (both from Green Metropolis because I had credit to spend - well, it has to be spent, doesn't it?!) Then I got one of those 3-in-1 books that has the following in it: The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory Recipes for a Perfect Marriage by Kate Kerrigan Look the World in the Eye by Alice Peterson (Got this from Ebay - purely for the Gregory - LOL!)

Kell Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Started reading Death & the Arrow by Chris Priestley an hour ago. I'm already halfway through & I only put it down so I could get out of the bath. In fact, the reason this post is so short is because I can't possibly wait any longer to get back to it. This is the kind of book that turned me into a bibliophile in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 And now I've finished it - fantastic read. 9/10. I'll be reading the sequel tomorrow night methinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Finally updated my reading list (I've been neglecting it lately, along with my blog here, but I've been writing reviews & posting them anyway) so you can check it out back on the first page of messages on this thread if you're interested. I've also got another handful of reviews to write, so I'll be posting them very shortly too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Got a fair bit of reading done this week, despite being run off my feet: Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton (7/10) The Wise Woman by Philippa Gregory (6/10) Death & the Arrow by Chris Priestley (9/10) The White Rider by Chris Priestley (8/10) Reviews for the above to follow shortly... Will be starting on 2 books tomorrow: Redwulf's Curse by Chris Priestley The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory And I must remember to update my reading blog more often!

Kell Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Finished Redwulf's Curse by Chris Priestley (the 3rd Tom Marlowe adventure) in the bath & it's every bit as good as the last one. I give it 8/10. Now I have another review to write - I think I'll have to do them all tomorrow night! Starting on The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory next.

Kell Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Actually, The Constant Princess will be geting swapped out immdeiately (along with the other 2 titles that's housed between the pages of this compilation) as it turns out they're all CONDENSED novels & not the ful, unabridged versions at all. Am severely miffed. Will have to find something else to read now. Harumph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Rightful Inheritance by Benita Brown Surprisingly for me, the 3rd one is an historical romance. I specifically requested it as the author is a member over at On the Shelf & thought I'd have a look-see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Finished 44 Scotland Street last night. Now, what will I start reading today? It's Word weekend up here (Aberdeen's annual book & writer festival), so I'm planning on doing loads of reading this weekend - I usually don't get much of a chance do to other stuff cropping up, but today I'm planning on posting out some books for swaps & then settling down with a good book...

Kell Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Didn't get any reading done yesterday after all, what with everything that was going on, so I started The Lost Boy by David Pelzer this morning. It's been a while since I read A Child Called "It", but it's still pretty fresh in my mind (who could forget the horrific happenings of that book?), so it's lke picking up where I left off.
