Beccles Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Seems to be a lot of sci fi and Fantasy about in my towns charity shops so today I bought unknown authors books called Eldest by Christopher Paolini. This is about Dragons. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley and an epic 1000 page Sci Fi called The Neutronian Alchemist by Peter F. Hamilton.
Peacefield Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I have had one of the busiest weeks ever so my reading was definitely sub-par. I did manage a page or two this morning whilst waiting for the coffee maker though . Hopefully I'll get at least halfway this weekend, which is my goal. Dimitra, I hope you like the Salinger! It has always been one of my favorites and I hope everyone can one day read it . True greatness lies in that one, at least in my eyes.

Lucybird Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Finished the second section of The Fatal Englishman and started the third. Enjoyed the second section more than the first but still am not that impressed.
pipread Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I was given Elizabeth Noble`s - The Girl Next Door. I enjoyed her other book Things I want My Daughters to Know, so I`ll hopefully enjoy this to.
Stephanie2008 Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I'm still plodding on with The Bodies Left Behind by Jeffery Deaver. I'm to like it but something's stopping me
Kate Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 It has a been a great few days for me book wise. I have got: Harlan Coben: Just One Look & The Final Detail Elizabeth Chadwick: A Place Beyond Courage John Hart: Down River Tami Hoeg: Lucky's Lady Alan Titchmarsh: Animal Instincts and The Last Lighthouse Keeper Sharon Owens: Revenge of the Wedding Planner Lauren Weisberger: Chasing Harry Winston Some were given to me, others purchased at a very cheap price. My favourite buy however was a very old (probably 1920s) version of Little Women for
Guest radjack Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I just started reading The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by robert L. Stevenson . The book is fairly thin so by tomorrow I will be finished with it.
Eryk Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Added The Letters of Charles Dickens to my Kindle, still reading Copperfield.
Stephanie2008 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 This book has picked up a bit now, althought it took me to over half way to get into it.
Lucybird Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Finished The Fatal Englishman, review is in the pipeline.
Nicola Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I finished Brighton Rock last night, which was really good, and now I'm going to start The Catcher In The Rye by J.D.Salinger. I loved The Catcher In The Rye! Hope you enjoy it I'm carrying on with The 6 Wives of Henry VIII which so far is really good. I reall enjoyed the introduction to it as it gives a general overview of what society was like in the 16th Century......you know, they thought that education was wasted on women as all we'd do with the skill was sit around writing love letters all day. Heeeesh!
catwoman Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Not done much reading but after finally figuring out what I wanted to read I started Dexter By Design... Again. What a fantastic book. I woke up real early this morning, like normal and just grabbed a coffee and read. My mojo finally arrived in the States. Great book, better than the last few. should be finished fairly soon depending on if my OH goes to watch some football game or something.
Kate Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I've just started The Blotting Book by E. F. Benson, but it is an e-book so I feel it may take a while to read
Lucybird Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Finished my review of The Fatal Englishman now
Katrina1968 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I'm onto my next Phillipa Gregory book, The Other Boylen Girl. I think I might be hooked:mrgreen:
Stephanie2008 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Only have 50 pages left of the Bodies Left Behind. Not sure what to read next...maybe The Gift by Cecelia Ahern
frankie Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Finished Faithless by Karin Slaughter and started Triptych
Kylie Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I'm about 540 pages into The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, with less than 200 to go. I'm hoping to get it finished tomorrow. I visited a couple of second-hand bookshops on the weekend and bought: A Tree of Night and Other Stories by Truman Capote Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter H
Kylie Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks Frankie! I'll go into Miss Jean Brodie with an open mind (and low expectations; that way I won't be disappointed).
catwoman Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Finished Faithless by Karin Slaughter and started Triptych Awesome!!!! Finished reading Dexter By Design and really enjoyed it. Not sue what to read now, will have a little think. I wanna leave Breaking Dawn for the plane.
Guest radjack Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I just started reading The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by robert L. Stevenson .The book is fairly thin so by tomorrow I will be finished with it. So here's a big problem, I'm really not enjoying this book. I've only read like 30 pages (the book has 88 pages) but I don't think I can continue:irked:. Should I drop it? Should I continue?
Peacefield Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Sadly I am only on page 133 of The Lost Symbol! This weekend has flown by in record speed and when I got home from my shopping outing today I saw it sitting there but I picked up New Moon instead since I want to read it quick before Friday. Sorry, Dan, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
Kylie Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I'm going so well with The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear that I plan on finishing tonight, which will be 190 pages in one day. I got another book in the mail today: The Complete Pebble Mosaic Handbook by Maggy Howarth I've never tried pebble mosaics before and I wasn't sure what to expect from the book, but having flicked through it, I'm very pleased with my purchase. It's an awesome book and there are heaps are wonderful ideas in there. I can't wait to start planning a pebble mosaic for my courtyard.
