Maureen Posted April 20, 2006 Author Posted April 20, 2006 It is making me crave chocolate all the time I'm reading the descriptions!! This book should have come with a warning on the cover - "Beware, makes you put on weight!!" Quote
Maureen Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 Now I have started on Chocolat. . A really sweet story. Will prob finish it off tonight. Quote
Maureen Posted April 23, 2006 Author Posted April 23, 2006 Re Chocolat - I enjoyed the book - very nice story, quite unusual, although I predicted the end, and was quite annoyed that we were not given the whole works re the old father and what happened exactly during Father Reynaulds' childhood. Quote
Kell Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I know - I wondered about the old padre too. And you're right about the cravings - I was desperate for a massive box of Vianne's chocs all the way through! Quote
Maureen Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 She should have developed or explained the old man's angle. Quote
Maureen Posted April 25, 2006 Author Posted April 25, 2006 Started on Hell's Kitchen by Jeffery Deaver. The book really started off extremely well - I love that in a book, not a gradual build up, but a "happening" event, which may be discussed/explained/ later. Quote
Maureen Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 finished Hell's Kitchen. Good story. This is about a charachter called John Pellam, and apparently there are other books where he is the main character - which I'll be looking out for. Will be starting on Host later on tonight. Quote
Maureen Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 Host is a story of scientists trying to stay alive forever. (Just read the first couple of chapters though) I'm sure some people would think this is a good idea - (I'm not one of them), and the thought of experimenting with immortality gives me the creeps. Quote
Maureen Posted May 3, 2006 Author Posted May 3, 2006 I loved Host. WIll certainly be looking out for more of Mr James' work. Quote
Maureen Posted May 3, 2006 Author Posted May 3, 2006 HAve started the first chapter of Betrayal in Death now. Quote
Lilywhite Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 What's this one about Maureen?? I've never heard of it but it sounds intriguing... Kat :catlove: Quote
Maureen Posted May 5, 2006 Author Posted May 5, 2006 It is Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb. Main characters Eve Dallas, and her husband Roark. More info in the articles section by Michelle. In Death Quote
Lilywhite Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 mmmm I like the sound of these... will have to keep an eye out. Kat :catlove: Quote
Maureen Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Finished Betrayal in Death. Similar to Ceremony in Death in my opinion. will be starting Life Support by Tess G later on. Quote
Maureen Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 will be starting Life Support by Tess G later on. which I discovered I had already read ....but did not recognise the name. Spent the evening watching Grey's Anatomy Episodes 1-5 on DVD instead. :shock: Quote

Inanna Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 LOL no and neither was the blurb on the back of the book, but that image of him cutting her brought it all back Quote

Maureen Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 Into Temptation was a lllllllloooong story (800+ pages). Read this while refurbishing house - needed a light read. Good choice for this purpose. Now have started Denial by Peter JAmes. Have read Host previously, which I enjoyed tremendously. Quote
Maureen Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Finished Denial. Enjoyable book, which has cemented my idea that Peter James will become one of my favorite authors. Host was a much more original story, but this book is v. recommendable as well. On to Jigs and Reels by Joanne Harris Quote
Maureen Posted July 9, 2006 Author Posted July 9, 2006 Gosh I have neglected this! After Jigs and Reels I read Street Dreams by Faye Kellerman, and have now started 24 hours by Greg Iles. Quote
Maureen Posted July 22, 2006 Author Posted July 22, 2006 ...24 hours was an enjoyable read. Need to read more Iles This was followed by Beneath the skin from Nicci French, Have now started a book called Food - your miracle medicine by Jean Carper. (It deals with how food can prevent and treat symptoms and problems) Looks intriguing. Quote
Maureen Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 Well it seems that we (people in the Med) eat a very healthy diet, esp compared to typical americans. Fortunately most of the food that I like is considered very healthy! Quote
