Ceinwenn Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) I just finished reading The Rosary Girls, which was my World Book Day swap from Charm. (THANKS CHARM!) I really enjoyed this book & as soon as I have some money again I shall be buying the next in the series! (review) Edited March 19, 2009 by Ceinwenn Quote
Ceinwenn Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 I started & finished reading Bernhard Schlink's book Homecoming over the weekend. I had set it aside when I bought it to read as my choice for Germany for my Global Reading Challenge. Wow, what a mistake I made! I am so sure I could have found a better book by a German author! I give it a 4/10. (Review) Quote
Charm Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I just finished reading The Rosary Girls, which was my World Book Day swap from Charm. (THANKS CHARM!) I really enjoyed this book & as soon as I have some money again I shall be buying the next in the series! (review) Great review! I'm so glad you liked the book after all! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Are you kidding? I loved the book, I merely stumbled in the begining! Quote
bethany725 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Read your review on "The Rosary Girls" .. this is on my list, too, and I'm excited to hear you liked it as well. When I get my hands on it, I'll keep going past the first few chapters, even if I run into the same thing you did! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 Beth, I am sure that you will like it ~ I'd definately say that I must have been having an off day when I started reading this! Quote
Jo-Bridge Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Are you kidding? I loved the book, I merely stumbled in the begining! Me too! Really liked Jessica! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 Me too! Really liked Jessica! Me, too! Quote
Chimera Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I have that on my wishlist as well. Might bump it up the list as I'm feeling in the mood for thrillers... Quote
Ceinwenn Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 I finished reading Air Babylon last night. What a waste of my time, lol! It wasn't horrid, but I wish I hadn't bothered. 3/10 Quote
Ceinwenn Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Today I read A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks & while it is predictable Nicholas Sparks, I really enjoyed it! 8.5/10 Quote
Ceinwenn Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 I finished reading The Coffin Dancer a couple of days ago & whilst I had read it before, I hadn't remembered enough of it to have my re-reading it ruined by previous knowledge. A thoroughly enjoyed read & a deserved 9/10! Quote
pipread Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I`m glad you said the re-read didn`t spoil the story for you. Like you it`s been a long time since I read The Coffin Dancer, and I really can`t remember it that well either, I might consider a re-read myself now! Quote

There are a couple of us who are reading this at the mo, feel free to join us And if you're too busy to read it now, join the Lincoln Rhyme thread when you've had a chance to reread it, we'd love more comments!

Ceinwenn Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 I finished reading The Skin Gods the other day & I really really enjoyed this one. So much better than Rosary Girls, IMO. I did, however, have to rate it at 8.75 because it isn't quite (just barely) in the league of Mr. Deaver (again, IMO), so it couldn't have a 9, lol! Quote
Charm Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Just wait til you read Broken Angels! Another great review on your blog, I posted a comment Quote
Ceinwenn Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks! I look forward to reading it! Quote
bethany725 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Oooh Charm knows how I loved "Broken Angels".. I hope you enjoy, too! So excited for you now. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Oooh Charm knows how I loved "Broken Angels".. I hope you enjoy, too! So excited for you now. That's one of the pile of books that are coming with me to Doncaster & I can't wait to get it started, Beth!! I finished reading Always Looking Up by Michael J. Fox on the 30th of April & I have such mixed emotions about this book! Don't get me wrong, I loved it & give it a 10/10, but there were little niggly aspects I didn't like, but which shall remain unspoken because they really had nothing to do with the book. I think that this is a book that I shall most definately re-read & I'm likely to go buy Lucky Man so I can re-read it, too! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I finished reading An Elegy for Easterly by Petina Gappah tonight & it's a really well written book, which I am glad I read, but not one I would read again. Some of the stories are pretty abstract & a few of them came across almost as though they were unfinished works. This was a book I received from LibraryThing Early Reviewers & I had really been looking forward to reading this. If you are a fan of abstract short stories then this would be right up your alley!

Ceinwenn Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Well, May is turning out to be a very drought infested reading month! I can't believe that today is May 25th & I have only finished 2 books! How did that happen? Must improve on this! Last night I finished reading Broken Angels by Richard Montanari, which is the 3rd in the series. This was a very good book, which started out kind of slowly, but ended in a flurry of action! I would heartily recommend this series to anyone who likes reading murder mystery! Quote
RCee Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I have that one upstairs waiting to be read right now. Glad to hear it is worth reading. I have read the others i this series and really enjoyed them. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Hey you! Yeah, definately read it! I really enjoyed it & would have finished it much quicker, but I really don't seem to be reading much at the moment. Quote
