Kell Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 I exchanged one of my duplicate books today,so I now have The Prestige by Christopher Priest to add to my Christmas haul. It was recommended to me by a guy whose blog I regularly read - it's one of his all-time favourite books (from long before the folm was made) and he made such a song & dance about it that i was intrigued. I want to see the film too, so I'll have to decide which I want to do first - read it or watch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Another book will shortly be winging it's way to me - I ordered An Open Vein by J M Warwick this evening, after seeing all the great comments left on the forum about it. I'd already read te synopsis & liked the look of it, but I usually swither about things a lot longer than I did for this - I just couldn't resist! So, that's another one to add to my mountain of books to read - I reckon I've got a lot to look forward to this coming year, seeing as I already have about 60 waiting! I'm looking forward to the challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Poppy Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 And I will pass on Falling Leaves to you... Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots: The True Story of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter by Adeline Yen Mah ... so that will be another one to add to the list! It's endless... thank goodness!

Kell Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'm not sure what I'd do if I ever got to the end of my TBR list - possibly I'd celebrate by getting hold of some more books - LOL! Thank you for the loan-offer - I'll look forward to reading it. And tomorrow I think I shall set up my 2007 reading log. I should just have enough time to finish my current book before I close off thise year's lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Have just finished my last book of 2006 & I have to say that The Eagle's Prophecy by Simon Scarrow did NOT disappoint! he's one of the few authors that, so far, there's not been one let-down from any of the books I've read & this was the 6th one - I'm very impressed! Now, hoever, I shall write up the last review of the year & close this thread down, tucking it safely away so it can retire & I can start my fresh 2007 thread! And I know exactly which book I will start with in the New Year - the Januray Reading Circle choice - The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell. I will, however, be taking tomorrow off from reading, as, like Liz, I don't like the thoght of carrying a book over (I know, I'm an old silly, but it would feel wrong - I want to start the new year fresh & that means with my reading too!). And so I come to the end of another very good year of reading - let's hope next year's is as good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
