Weave Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Happy reading! Looking forward to hearing about your reads Quote
Ceinwenn Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks Gyre (beautiful poem by the way!). I am doing better than I thought I would do (5 books so far & am working on # 6) Quote
Ceinwenn Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Read so far: The Attack by Yasmina Khadra - 6/10 The five people you meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom - 9/10 The Second Husband by Louise Candlish - 6.5/10 The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini - 9/10 Since I don't have you by Louise Candlish - 8/10 Quote
Janet Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I hope you won't mind me making a suggestion, but it's quite nice to keep an update in the first post too. You can still do what you're doing below, but if you update the first post then it's easier to copy/paste into future posts rather than trying to find the latest one. Feel free to ignore this suggestion, but I believe a lot of people do this. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 That's a good idea, Janet. Thanks! What's the word count max per post, though as I didn't keep any extra blank posts at the top. Quote
Janet Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not 100% sure, but if you run out of space later, I'm sure Paula wouldn't mind me deleting her "Happy reading! Looking forward to hearing about your reads " post, making you second poster so you can edit that bit too. I suggest we leave it for now and cross that bridge when we come to it, if that's okay with you? ETA: I'm off out now - will check later. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) The Death of Vishnu by Manil Suri - 1/10 Well, even though I did not technically read this book, because I didn't finish it, I'm adding it anyway because I did read 1/2 of it. (my review) Edited February 21, 2009 by Ceinwenn Quote
Charm Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 The Death of Vishnu by Manil Suri - 1/10 Well, even though I did not technically read this book, because I didn't finish it, I'm adding it anyway because I did read 1/2 of it. Oh dear ... that bad? Quote
Ceinwenn Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Oh god yeah! I think poking myself with sharp objects would have been more fun! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Do you wanna borrow it? Should I send it to you when I send Dexter back to you? You'd love it! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) I finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter, by Jeff Lindsay last night. Great book - can't wait to tuck into the next one! 9/10 (thanks Charm!) (my review) Edited February 21, 2009 by Ceinwenn Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Last night I started the 2nd book in the Dexter series ~ Dearly Devoted Dexter. Stayed up late & got up early to read it. Even better than the 1st & very funny! I love Dexter! 9.5/10 (my review) Edited February 21, 2009 by Ceinwenn Quote
Charm Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Glad to see you enjoyed them. I'll definately be reading the next one! Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Last night I started the 2nd book in the Dexter series ~ Dearly Devoted Dexter. Stayed up late & got up early to read it. Even better than the 1st & very funny! I love Dexter! 9.5/10 I have the first one on my wishlist. I'm glad to see someone rate it so highly, it gives me more incentive to go out and spend more money that I don't have hehe. Quote
frankie Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I have the first one on my wishlist. I'm glad to see someone rate it so highly, it gives me more incentive to go out and spend more money that I don't have hehe. Do buy the Dexter book, it's really great! Quote
Chrissy Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter, by Jeff Lindsay last night. Great book - can't wait to tuck into the next one! 9/10 (thanks Charm!) This is on my TBR pile - I may just shift it to the top now! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 I loved both of the ones I have read. The 1st one made me chuckle in quite a few places, but the second had me laughing out loud! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Tonight I finished reading The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. I thought it was an ok book, but nothing to get overly excited about. Vaguely disappointed, really. (my review) Edited February 21, 2009 by Ceinwenn Quote
Kell Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Have you seen the film, The Reader, yet? I watched it the other day and thought it very good. I have the book on my own Mount TBR... Quote
