jewell Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I finished reading The Time Traveller's Wife this morning. I cried! It's so sad yet so beautiful! I take it that does mean you enjoyed the book.
JudyB Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 About 7 pages of The Life You Want by Emily Barr - too many distractions during my lunch break at work!
Chrissy Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I finished reading The Time Traveller's Wife this morning. I cried! Me too. I finished it today, and I cried. It takes quite a bit to make me blub, but oh brother, I blubbed and blubbed.
Ceinwenn Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 It's so sad yet so beautiful! I take it that does mean you enjoyed the book. Oh, I definately enjoyed it! I am not so fond of some of how the book was written, but the things I didn't like (luckily) didn't ruin the book for me. Me too. I finished it today, and I cried. It takes quite a bit to make me blub, but oh brother, I blubbed and blubbed. Definately a great book & one I shall heartily recommend!
Redding Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I have been quite disturbed in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Lucybird Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Started reading New Moon at a friend's house today...mistake....now I want to buy it...
Kylie Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 If I can drag myself away from the forum, I intend to spend the morning reading more of Harriet the Spy, as I'm not very far in yet.
Fi. Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I'm off to bed to carry on with Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters
Kylie Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 How's the book, Scarlet? It sounds intriguing. Have you read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? I've spent a bit of time recently organising two bags of books to donate to the book fair I'm going to next week. See! I can show some control with books! (Never mind the fact that I originally had about 3-4 bags worth of books to donate but I changed my mind about quite a few of them...)
green Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Started Under The Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy yesterday. Kept re-reading passages of dialogue at first cos of the thick accents and slang,but got into it ok now.
catwoman Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I have been quite disturbed in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. In what way disturbed? I have about 70 pages to go now, near the end, even though the book seems never ending.
Nicola Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I've started Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice and loving it so far I just love the character of Lestat and the way Anne Rice has him describe things....it's like honey. Also bought The Colour Purple by Alice Walker. I'm not sure when I'll get around to reading this but I loved the movie so I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point.
Michelle Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Yesterday I received The Gates by John Connelly from Amazon Vine - this time he's writing for teens, and the first few chapters are excellent. There's a great humour in there, which reminds me of Pratchett, Jonathan Stroud etc, and I can't wait to see where he's going to take the story. Edited September 20, 2009 by Michelle John Connolly, not Michael!

I've just added this to my Amazon Wishlist The synopsis reminds me of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman.
Stephanie2008 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I started (and finished) Perfect Timing by Jill Mansell last night I was pleasantly surprised
page turner Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I just finished The magicians of Caprona by Diana Wynne Jones. Another truely fantastic read. I'm seriously thinking I miht order all her other books now. She's fast becoming one of my favourites. I'm on a roll so I'm about to start Witch Week the third book in the Chrestomanci series

(Never mind the fact that I originally had about 3-4 bags worth of books to donate but I changed my mind about quite a few of them...) I'm liking it so far, not sure if it's as well done as P & P & Zombies which, yes, I have read I've given up on Dan Brown - it's not holding my attention so I've given it to my mum and I'll go back to it when she finishes. Still persevering with The Host and actually starting to enjoy it now!
Redding Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 In what way disturbed? I have about 70 pages to go now, near the end, even though the book seems never ending. I just found the murders quite disturbing.
catwoman Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I just found the murders quite disturbing. Oh right! Yeah some of them were 'different'.
Redding Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Oh right! Yeah some of them were 'different'. I don't think different is the word to describe it.
catwoman Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) I don't think different is the word to describe it. To be honest I have read some worse ones and the author did not graphically describe the scene of crime so it was not as bad as it could have been. I am just reading the Epilogue now, and then I am going to write a review. Edited September 20, 2009 by catwoman

catwoman Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) You must be a really fast reader I started it about 5 days before you. Yeah I can be a fast reader if I actually get into a book, and the last 200 pages? were quick to read. If I am not working and when the kids are in bed I read and I don't tend to watch much TV. *edit* Just finished the book and wrote my review. About to Start Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.
