Louiseog Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 They are great and they do get better. Haved you tired the Supernaturalists by the same author I really liked that Quote
Kell Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Yes, i liked that one too. in fact, the only one of his I haven' enjoyed quite as much as the others was The Wish List. I still enjoyed it though. Quote
Louiseog Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Yes, i liked that one too. in fact, the only one of his I haven' enjoyed quite as much as the others was The Wish List. I still enjoyed it though. Haven't read that one. Did see him on television talking to a group of children and he was very funny. Asked what his next book would be called he said AF and the Philosophers Goblet!! (or something like that and they roared!) Quote
Kell Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 LOL! I would have LOVED to have seen that! Especially since he's the reason I didn't read the HP books for so long - I'm a HUGE AF fan & didn't think the HP books could possibly measure up to them. Of course, I was wrong - they're every bit as good & I was kicking myself for waiting so long to read them - now I love both series & find myself avidly awaiting the next installment... Quote
Sugar Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Yes, i liked that one too. in fact, the only one of his I haven' enjoyed quite as much as the others was The Wish List. I still enjoyed it though. That was my favourite! Once again showing how we all differ! Quote
Kell Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I'm starting Artemis Fowl & the Lost Colony today - I think I may well enjoy this... Quote
Michelle Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 I've just finished Julian Clary's autobiography, which was rather interesting. He's led a 'colourful' lifestyle, but is very open and candid about it. There is some humour, but not as much as you'd expect. A very honest book. I'm now moving on to Rosemary's Baby - I saw it in the library, and thought I'd give it a try. I know I've seen the film a long time ago, but I can't remember much about it. Quote
Michelle Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 I forgot to add 'Vanishing Acts' (Jodi Picoult) - whilst it was a fairly good book, none of Jodi's books have grabbed me in quite the same way that 'My Sister's Keeper' did. 'Rosemary's Baby' was good.. a simple story really, but well told, and creepy in it's own way. In between all this, I'm plodding on with 'The Glassbooks of the Dream Eaters'.. I'll update that review thread later. I now have a bunch of books from Amazon that have just arrived, incl Frankenstein and The Shining. Quote
Michelle Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 The Shining was great.. I'm glad I reread it. Frankenstein.. the intention was there, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. Lynsay Sands - Single White Vampire.. funny and sexy book, almost finished, and I shall be looking out for the rest. Had a wonderful parcel arrive today from Hodder.. I was expecting a proof of the latest Stephen King, but it's a normal hardback. Also is a proof of Jodi Picoult's book due for release in April.. watch out for my review. Argh... which one to read first?!!! Quote
Michelle Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 I went for Jodi's book, which I really liked.. review to follow. Moving on to Stephen King now. Quote
Michelle Posted December 3, 2006 Author Posted December 3, 2006 I'm now in the middle of 3 books.. Stephen King's, the Hogfather, and one of KW's. The last 2 are certainly winning over the 1st! Quote
Michelle Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Jst finished Dancing With His Heart by Katherine Warwick (KW on here), and very good it was too. Review to follow. Quote
Michelle Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 Surprisingly, Lisey's story is still sitting there, waiting for me to pick it up again! I will make the effort, but I keep getting side-tracked. Hogfather is great, because I can pick it up whenever and jump straight back in. As well as that, I'm reading another of KW's, which is very different.. An Open Vein. So far, it's proving to be very gripping. Quote
KW Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Jst finished Dancing With His Heart by Katherine Warwick (KW on here), and very good it was too. Review to follow. I'll be interested to see your comparison between DWHH and Noon...thanks for reading BTW Quote
KW Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 As well as that, I'm reading another of KW's, which is very different.. An Open Vein. So far, it's proving to be very gripping. And leave you wondering... Quote
Weave Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Michelle, A impressive list I must say, I just bought 'Lisey's Story' last week, so I am looking forward to hearing your point of view... Quote
Michelle Posted December 27, 2006 Author Posted December 27, 2006 I'm sure I've missed some along the way... I enjoyed all of KW's, Hogfather was good just before Christmas, and I dinally read Witch Child. Whilst that one was quite gripping, it does have the feel of a 'teen' book. Soceress looks like it's a longer book. Quote
Kell Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Sorceress was definitely aimed a little higher, age-wise, than Witch Child - I hope you enjoy it. It's written in a completely different style, but the story, I thought, was rather good. Quote
Michelle Posted December 27, 2006 Author Posted December 27, 2006 I enjoyed the story behind Witch Child, but I would have liked to have seen it with more depth. I'm looking forward to Soceress, but I do have some other books jumping up and down, and shouting a bit louder! hehe Quote
Michelle Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 Finished 'Buried Fire', which was pretty good. Started 'Little Face', but I'll have to come back to that one. I now have 'Woman in Black' from the library, plus my manuscript for 'The Vampire's Secret', which I'm rather excited about! Quote
KW Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I'm astounded at the speed with which you read, woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does your brain ever go on overload and buzz out???? KW Quote
Michelle Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 There are people on here who read far more than me!! Quote
Michelle Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 Tallying up, I've read around 56 books this year, which is more than I thought. Quote
