Review

[Weave]

There a lot of books on you list that sounds like fab reads.

 

Thanks Laura

I finished 'Child Possessed' by David St.Clair. which is based on real life events. I thought it was a really good read but it is a book you need to read with an open mind.

I finished 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by Walter M. Miller Jr, it was a interesting book (just slightly confusing at points)

 

[Weave]

I finished 'Dead To The World' (A Stookie Stackhouse Vampire Mystery) by Charlaine Harris, the fourth in the series, it took me awhile to read it because I am waiting for the next four books to arrive!*

The fourth book was my favourite but I did feel a bit disappointed that Eric had forgotten everything that had happened with Sookie.

I started this series last year, but can't remember how far I got. I must pick it back up again at some point.

I finished 'In The Miso Soup' by Ryu Murakami, a brilliant read, I recommend it highly.

 

Review to follow soon.

I finished 'The Alchemyst' by Michael Scott, which was really good, a easy going kind of read with loads of celtic mythology

[Weave]

I finished 'Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman' by Haruki Murakami, which is a collection of his short stories, I enjoyed it, a brilliantly, surreal world that only Haruki Murakami can create, my favourite stories were 'Where I'm Likely to Find It' and 'A Shinagawa Monkey'

[Weave]

I finished 'The Magician' (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) by Michael Scott ~ which was really good, an enjoyable read, the next part, 'The Sorceress' (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) is due for released in May 2009! (its on my wishlist)

 

[Weave]

I finally finished 'The Night Watch' by Sergei Lukyanenko, I had lost my reading spark a wee bit I enjoyed it, its the first in the series and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

 

2008 has really been the year of book series for me

 

[Weave]

I finished 'In Ghostly Japan' by Lafcadio Hearn, it was a very interesting collection of stories

[Weave]

I finished 'The Death of Ivan Ilich' by Leo Tolstoy ~

 

I can really relate to this part of the book, 'Its expression seemed to say that what needed to be done had been done, and done properly'.

 

[Weave]

I finished 'Once Upon A Time in Japan' Compiled by Sayumi Kawauchi and The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling, they were both very short books and both equally lovely!

 

[Chimera]

The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

 

Ooh, is it really good and worth it? I havent gotten it yet.

[Charm]

The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

 

Oh I saw this the other day and almost bought it. Is it any good?

[Weave]

'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' by J.K. Rowling is really good but very short, I would have loved to have read more

[Weave]

I couldn't sleep and I had already starting re-reading (or re~vamping) 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer, then stopping but I picked up again and finished it

[Weave]

I finished 'The Snow Spider Trilogy' by Jenny Nimmo and I really enjoyed it, all of the stories, 'The Snow Spider', 'Emlyn's Moon', 'The Chestnut Soldier' were brilliantly written, all of the stories had a lovely feel to them, its the best way I can describe them. Highly recommended

[Weave]

I finished 'Dead as a Doornail' by Charlaine Harris, I really enjoyed it, the stookie stackhouse series just gets better and better

 

[Weave]

I finished 'Definitely Dead' by Charlaine Harris A good read

[Weave]

I finished 'All Together Dead' by Charlaine, the 7th book in the Stookie Stackhouse Vampire Mystery series, it was really good, loads of excitement

[SaraPepparkaka]

I take it Sookie Stackhouse is really good? How many are there and will you read all of them before New Year?
