Shin Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I am sooo glad Im not the only one who does this you know....I go into shop for one book and come out with an armful frequently I didn't even go in to buy The Reader. I went in for another book but seen The Reader and thought, oh the reading circle I'll get that but then came out with three other books. If I could get away with it I would have came out with more than three books though.

Shin....I went into Sussex Stationers last week they sell paperbacks a few pounds cheaper as my daughter needed some bits for college and walked out with 5 books
amethyst Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I'm down to the last 40 pages of my book so I'll be finishing that off before I go to sleep tonight
Mysterioso Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Just started the new Stuart B. Macbride book 'Halfhead'...Apparently this was the type of book he always wanted to write but had to establish himself as a crime author first to make his dream come true:lol: So he's added a superfluous initial and set this in the Glasgow of the future instead of contemporary Aberdeen and it's started off magnificently...if slightly weird....
amethyst Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Well I have finally just finished Shake! Only took me 8 days! Shocking for a 400 pager really! Oh well, I enjoyed it and it was something a bit different. Oh I also ordered Small Island by Andrea Levy from Green Metropolis today (thanks BookJumper for introducing me to that site :mrgreen:)
DanC_84 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Read the first 50 odd pages of 'Love Lives' by Emlyn Rees and Josie Lloyd last night.
Kylie Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Hi Kylie, hope you are liking the Stephanie Plum series. I have always enjoyed these books. I have read up to "Lean Mean Thirteen". I am enjoying them quite a lot. I'll definitely be looking out for more books in the series. I finished Two for the Dough last night and have moved on to A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I'm already 40 pages in and really enjoying it.

pickwick Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I just started The Reader for October's reading circle. Loving it, so far. Spotted The Reader in a charity shop last Friday,so I'm all set for October's reading circle.
Inver Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Forgot to post books I got for my birthday. Songs of the Humpback Whale (Jodi Picoult) The Other Hand ~ Chris Cleave (but I already have it so my sis is getting me something else. Still reading Second Glance ~ Jodi Picoult , almost there though. My sis brought the third in Twilight, so my next read will be Eclipse.
Kate Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I was reading A Spot of Bother but have decided to stop, not enjoying it
Ceinwenn Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Still reading The Time Traveller's Wife - really enjoying it, but I have so little time to read these days!
Tikkititi Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I was going to buy this book at the weekend for the reading circle (since I haven't done one yet). But instead I came out with My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, The Beach House by Jane Green and Champagne Kisses by Amanda Brunker. I am sooo glad Im not the only one who does this you know....I go into shop for one book and come out with an armful frequently Ya, bookshops can be unpredictable like that!
frankie Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I'm continuing reading Charlaine Harris's All Together Dead. I wasn't too keen on it after reading the first few chapters but now when I'm about 120 pages into the story I cannot wait to see what happens! Also, this is not any real activity but I remembered that now that it's September, I'm going to get two preordered books in a couple of weeks. The first one to arrive will be Chelsea Cain's Evil at Heart (which was released on 4 September so should be arriving real soon I hope!) and the second will be Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I'm so excited about both of them!! Especially now that I've promised myself I won't buy any books this month.
Kate Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I've picked up East of the Sun again and am enjoying again - apparently all I needed was a break! It is still slow but good

catwoman Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 hey guys i am a fresh poster, i am reading at the mo a book called evolution for everyone by David Sloan Wilson, its a topic which is very interesting to me and i don't know much about it!!! Yeah I have read about that book. It tries to show how Darwin's theory can be applied to everday life. It is used in some University courses as a core book if I'm right. THe book was breifly talked about in a psychology journal I was reading. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts. Enjoy.
chesilbeach Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I've read another 150 pages of Brazzaville Beach today, which leaves me about 150 pages to go. Will try and get a few hours reading in this evening and see if I can finish it. Visited two Waterstone's branches today, and came away with nothing
