Scarlette Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I've finished Anne Frank's diary and is now moving on to Agatha Christie's The Mystery of the Blue Train.
Lucybird Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Started Songs of the Humpback Whale which Inver sent me
catwoman Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hmm... I am 90 pages into The Girl with the dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson and honestly I am not sure about it so far. It has mainly been background about the main characters. I hope it will start to get real good soon, I have high hopes for this book as I have just realised that the writer is the same man who was the co - editor of Expo an anti Fascism magazine and an inspiration to mainly Human right activists.
chesilbeach Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Dammit! I went into Waterstone's (like a fool), and had to, had to buy Iain Banks' new book Transition. It's like a compulsion! This means I'll have to read this straight after I've read Grave Sight. Or, should I read the other two Charlaine Harris books immediately and post them on to the next person in the book ring? Probably the latter... Don't know if you're interested, but Iain Banks was on the Daily Mayo on Five Live today talking about this book, and the podcast should be available for the next week if you want to listen. I haven't listened to it yet, but he's usually an incredibly engaging interviewee. You can download the podcast here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/books
amethyst Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Just finished Notes from an Exhibition. I enjoyed it but it had a rather abrupt ending, one of those that makes you think about it afterwards!
Redding Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hmm... I am 90 pages into The Girl with the dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson and honestly I am not sure about it so far. It has mainly been background about the main characters. I hope it will start to get real good soon, I have high hopes for this book as I have just realised that the writer is the same man who was the co - editor of Expo an anti Fascism magazine and an inspiration to mainly Human right activists. I'm around 138 pages in and the book has started to pick up the pace so keep at it .
Kylie Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I've read a bit more of both I am David and Farewell, My Lovely. I'm hoping to finish the latter today.
page turner Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I really want to read at least another 100 pages of Tuck tonight but I keep flaffing about on the internet
Kylie Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I've finished Farewell, My Lovely and I am David. Both excellent reads. I've picked out a pile of half a dozen or so books that I want to read next. Decisions, decisions...
SueB Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Have just finished P.S. I love you and about to start The War of the Worlds - H.G. Worlds.......lets see if I can manage it.....
chesilbeach Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I've almost finished Mourning Ruby, taken much longer than I thought it would, despite being very good, I just haven't had the inclination to read too much at the moment. Despite that, I had some book vouchers burning a hole in my purse, so it was off to town this morning, where I spent two hours wandering round and round before deciding on the following books (some of the ones I was planning on getting weren't on offer so it was just mooch around and pick up anything that took my fancy): The Tango Singer - Tom
Kylie Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Decided on 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. I've been reading some good reviews about it recently (BookJumper, I think, for one) so looking forward to reading it. I'd best get some sleep first though.
SueB Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Have changed my mind have just discovered I've a copy of Thanks for the Memories - Cecilia Aherne gonna give that a whirl
Peacefield Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Sounds like you made quite a haul there, Chesilbeach, and with a voucher to spare! Most excellent . Hopefully when I get home tonight I'll do a wee review on Ghostwalk, and then I think I'll start Club Dead, although I may change my mind when I'm actually standing in front of my bookshelf .
Weave Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I finished 'I am Messenger' by Markus Zusak and I just started 'Getting the Girl' by Markus Zusak:D
lexiepiper Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I've finished reading the Vampire Diaries books, and now will read Sophie McKenzie - Blood Ties
frankie Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Today I got Chelsea Cain's Evil at Heart which I've been waiting for for ages! Happy me! I also went to the library to check out for any good reads in the free-book counter. I picked up Anne Lamott's Grace (Eventually) - Thoughts on Religion. Since I've read the religion thread on here I decided to pick that book up and give it a go
BookJumper Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Decided on 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. I've been reading some good reviews about it recently (BookJumper, I think, for one) so looking forward to reading it. I'd best get some sleep first though.You're clearly clairvoyant Kylie, as I haven't finished it yet so I haven't written a review of it save in my head. Soon, though, soon. I can tell you right now though that I'm adoring every page and I dare say you'll do too! Hopefully when I get home tonight I'll do a wee review on Ghostwalk Oh good, I'll look forward to that as I've got a copy languishing on my top shelf.
Shin Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I finished Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice last night and now starting Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris.
amethyst Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I finished Notes from an Exhibition last night and started Random Acts of Heroic Love by Danny Scheinmann.
amanda! Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I finished Mansfield Park by Jane Austen yesterday, and started Microbes and Man by John Postgate. That's very interessting, he introduces to microbiology in a very easy way! I like it very much, allthough I know much about microbiology from universitiy...
chesilbeach Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Finally finished Mourning Ruby but I can't make up my mind about it at the moment, so will cogitate a bit longer before putting down any reviews on it. Hopefully going to make a start on The Moonstone this evening.
catwoman Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'm around 138 pages in and the book has started to pick up the pace so keep at it . I hope so mate, I really hope so, it just seems to drag. I am 102 pages in and the investigation has not even begun. I have not read much at all today only about 20 pages due to work, but I am hoping to do so serious reading tonight. Happy reading everyone!
Katrina1968 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I really want to finish pu An Irish Country Christmas but I know I DEFINATELY need to start Moonstone this evening, tomorrow at the latest.
Charm Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 now starting Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. Really hope you enjoy this! My mojo has decided it needs another rest, however I put my foot down and started Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I'm hoping this tempts it back!
