BookBee8 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I can't remember Vanishing Acts at all. Though I'm sure I've read it.
page turner Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I decided to read The puzzle ring by Kate Forsyth seems good so far. I also went out and bought the House of night series that everyone has been talking about lately and look forward to starting them soon too.
blithe Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Starting The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
Kylie Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I just ordered 'The Year of the Flood' by Margaret Atwood. Ooh, exciting! Is that a pre-order Gyre or is the book out already? I finished The Inimitable Jeeves by PG Wodehouse and have already made decent inroads into One for the Money by Janet Evanovich. I think this could be classified as my first chick-lit novel.
Peacefield Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Starting The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley I almost picked this one up the other day, Blithe. The cover really attracted me . You'll have to let us know what you think. I've only managed to get in a few pages of Ghostwalk the last couple days, but hopefully I will get lots in this weekend while I'm at the cabin.
Weave Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Just started Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. So far...hmm...I'm not too sure about it I think I started reading 'Vanishing Acts' but did not finish it, looking forward to your thoughts Nightwish I am concentrating on 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame~Smith, which is very funny
MissWhitlock Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Finished Generation Dead. It was pretty damn awesome, I must say. The ending was memorable. I cried. Next is Mao's Last Dancer!
Rosalind Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I finished Wicked Lovely yesterday evening, started Curveball by Kate Angell and The Deed by Lynsay Sands this morning.
Charm Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I finished 'Personal Demon' by Kelley Armstrong, now on to 'No Humans Involved'.
Stephanie2008 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I've finished Chosen and started Untamed by PC and Kristin Cast. As much as I am enjoying these books, they are a bit slow moving. I am now on the fourth book and she has only been in the school two months. It's going to take hundreds of books to complete
Nollaig Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I found an old book I loved as a kid - I knew I had it somewhere, I just hadn't suceeded in tracking it down. It's only about 186 pages, I might read it tonight.
Talisman Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I have been reading some of my Icelandic books again today - I am about a third of the way through a book on the history of literature in the country, which is all fascinating stuff with translations of some of the Eddaic poems and so on. I have also read a few more chapters from one of my favourite sagas - Laxdaela Saga, which is the tale a love triangle between a woman from Breidafjord and 2 foster brothers, both of whom married her at different times and were intensely jealous of each other. Wonderful stuff !
Fi. Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) I'm reading Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen and rereading Hunted by P C Cast as Tempted will be out in just under a month Edited September 4, 2009 by Fi
BookJumper Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Finished Generation Dead. It was pretty damn awesome, I must say. The ending was memorable. I cried. *passes hankies and prepares some for self*
Stephanie2008 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I'm reading Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen and rereading Hunted by P C Cast as Tamed will be out in just under a month Ooo I didn't think it was out as soon as that I won't have to wait long when I've finished these then
Fi. Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Well, I pre-ordered it on Amazon US (in hardback) which still says October so I'm keeping my fingers crossed Oh, and it's Tempted not Tamed - d'oh ETA - I'm too impatient to wait for October 2010 for the paperback! Edited September 4, 2009 by Fi
Guest velocipede2288 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I am reading Ngaio Marsh's Death at the Bar, an inspector Alleyn mystery first written in 1939. A golden oldy. Recently read a Reginald Hill novel of Dalziel and Pasco, A Cure for All Diseases. Great unexpected humour in this book. Alan.

I know it doesn't match but I cannot wait a whole year just for the sake of a paperback I'll just have to suffer like I did with Twilight/Sookie Stackhouse. I hate that the last books are hardback but I'm too impatient to wait

chrysalis_stage Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) I found an old book I loved as a kid - I knew I had it somewhere, I just hadn't suceeded in tracking it down. It's only about 186 pages, I might read it tonight. I'm intrigued, whats the book called and by whom? I have been reading some of my Icelandic books again today - I am about a third of the way through a book on the history of literature in the country, which is all fascinating stuff with translations of some of the Eddaic poems and so on. I have also read a few more chapters from one of my favourite sagas - Laxdaela Saga, which is the tale a love triangle between a woman from Breidafjord and 2 foster brothers, both of whom married her at different times and were intensely jealous of each other. Wonderful stuff ! Oh that sounds interesting reading Talisman! I'm just reading Wuthering Heights and Kafka on the shore. I got two books in the post today though which made me happy 1. Charles De Lint - Greenmantle 2. Kenneth Oppel - Dusk also waiting on a third - The devil in me - Christopher Fowler .......must go read Edited September 5, 2009 by chrysalis_stage
Redding Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I'm really struggling to get in to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - did anybody else find it quite boring at the start?
Nicola Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I managed to get hold of Eldest by Christopher Paolini in an ebook format so I've been cheekily reading it at work. So far so good
amethyst Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I'm still reading Shake! I feel like I've been reading it for ages, but I guess that's because I got through Wuthering Heights so quickly, I am really enjoying it though, which is why I'm a bit surprised about how long it's taking me.
Lucybird Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I'm really struggling to get in to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - did anybody else find it quite boring at the start? Yes, it took me a while to get into too.
