Stephanie2008 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today
Chrissy Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today I think that this was the Harry Potter that really hooked me. The first two are definitely children's books, but the darkness of 'prisoner Of Azkaban', both in it's theme and in the introduction of more substantial and complex characters, really made the series take off for me.
Jack Dawkins Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Bought David Copperfield and The Witches of Eastwick and ordered Bravo Juliet by Charlie Owen and the Haunting of Hill House
MuggleMagic Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today good book I hope that you enjoy it
Fi. Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 The postman just delivered Dracula The Un-dead and my dad delivered a nice big stack of library books - I think I have enough books for the weekend now
NovaLee Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Still reading The Ghost at the Table. I'm really dragging my feet with this one but not bacause it's a bad book .....just that I can't seem to sit still long enough lately to read anything. Hopefully this weekend will see it finished.
BookJumper Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Unseen Academicals just arrived in the post *does happy dance*! I've got things I need to be reading first though, after which announcement OH said "I can read it then" - he doesn't read much so *does even happier dance* ! I must say I do love the cover, esp. The Librarian and Vetinari (quite possibly my joint favourite Discworld characters). Usually I find Pratchett covers a bit overloaded with sensory information but this one's just right.

page turner Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I finished up Conrad's fate tonight and look forward to starting the Pinhoe egg tomorrow. Tis a little sad though to come to the end of such a wonderful and quite unique series of books - they will go on my all time favourite list I think.

Peacefield Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Started The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen today. I'm in the mood for some good old modern-day suspense, but mixed with historical 1830's Boston!
Kell Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I received a copy of The Dark Flight Down by Marcus Sedgwick from BookJumper today. I read the prequel (The Book of Dead Days) ages and ages ago and have been meaning to get hold of the sequel ever since, but somehow never got round to it till now!

I had to sit and read all 50 something child rights yesterday and write a few sentences on each to explain. I don't think I've ever been so bored in my life

chesilbeach Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm still struggling to find time for reading at the moment, but I'm about halfway through The Moonstone now. I'm eyeing up a couple of suspects, so I definitely want to finish to find out what happens!
