catwoman Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I went to my library to take back some books and I picked up my reservation of The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I read the first 15 pages and it looks amazing. I also extended my date return for Dexter by Design so I might read that one a little later now. i also went to the Charity shop and I picked up Jeffery Deaver The Coffin Dancer for 25p. It is a the same cover style as my other ones so i was very happy and I can give my other copy to my OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Historian is excellent, Catwoman, and I hope you enjoy it. Kostova has a new one out in January called The Swan Thieves which looks just as promising. I managed to read a few pages of Stolen last night in bed before crashing into sleep. I hope to finish it this weekend so I can start on the Dan Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollaig Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I finished Girl With A Pearl Earring this morning. Thought it got a little unsteady towards the end, it seemed to keep changing it's direction, but overall a very very good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I finished Girl With A Pearl Earring this morning. Thought it got a little unsteady towards the end, it seemed to keep changing it's direction, but overall a very very good book. Glad you liked it Roxi. It was my introduction to her books, and I've read most of them now, but my favourite was Falling Angels, so I'd definitely recommend that it you liked Girl With A Pearl Earring. Today, I've read about half of Bonjour Tristesse, and visited Waterstone's and only came out with books for other people for Christmas presents! At least I get the points on my card for future books for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 It has been a good day for me book wise. Mum had a Waterstones voucher so I got Julie Walters's That's Another Story and picked The Associate by Grisham for my hubby, but I'll probably read it. Then I went and signed up at Hove library as I now live in Brighton and Hove, and then took out: Macomber: 311 Pelican Court Macomber: 204 Rose Lane Tropper: Everything Changes O'Flanagan: Destinations Cleage: I Wish I Had A Red Dress Jaye: By The Time You Read This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libri vermis Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I am more than halfway finished with The Eyre Affair, and I am so reluctant to say this, but I am not enjoying it. I will give my reasons why when I am finished. I get quite uncomfortable saying I don't like something, when so many others have enjoyed it, but I must be true to myself.

libri vermis Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 ETA: I'm so sorry (and feel so guilty) that you're not enjoying The Eyre Affair, Libri ! Please don't feel guilty! You did enjoy it, and of course, you want to share that. I am sure there will be books I enjoy that you won't, and I will probably feel guilty as well.

I'd seen her other books, but never picked them up. I only grabbed this one because I knew the name. I can't wait to get more of her books - I think Falling Angels was the one I saw a few copies of in the charity shop.

Lucybird Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Cure for Death by Lightening is really getting good now, I want to read more now but I have things I need to do (and I will do them in a sec, honest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Spent about half an hour earlier reading A Fraction of the Whole. This book is hilarious and gets funnier by the page. I have never read anything quite like it - I find myself reading it, in my head, in an Australian accent, which makes it even funnier ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwoman Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I was planning on starting the next Jack Kerley book Broken Souls. But i have just noticed that I am missing one from the series. So after I finish this one I will have to jump and move on and skip a book. I hate that, so I went onto my library website to reserve it and ... They don't have it!!!! How ca they not have the middle fo a series when they have the before and after. So now I am going to have to try and track it down before Tuesday.

Scarlette Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I finished One, Two, Buckle my Shoe by Agatha Christie this weekend. I liked it, but in some ways it was a bit too much like a soap opera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
