chesilbeach Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Murray Bail: Eucalyptus I read this a few years ago, Kylie, and I thought it was excellent, but I've never known anyone else who's read it, so I'll be interested to see what you think. My book activity today has been to make a start on Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong, and I've already managed about 130 pages. After reading a weighty old tome for the past few weeks, it's great to be reading something lighter for pure entertainment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookJumper Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 A few chapters into Jane Eyre, and oh my, is this book superb so far. I want to slap some sense into certain characters. Jane is my soul sister.I'd say that's one successful book you wouldn't have picked up of your own accord ! As for me... irked, irked, irked. After my inconclusive mission on Friday, I traipsed back to the sorting office in hope of finding my copy of Inkheart from BookMooch. Ironically, it's Inked... there's pen marks across the sides of the pages. OH, lovelily, tried to rub them off thinking they were pencil - guess what, the rubber stained. So now I've got red marks on there as well as the original pen ones. Yippee. On a further sour note, my replacement bank card has entirely failed to arrive at the branch, and no Jane Eyre for me until it does . As I said: irked, irked, irked.

Janet Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 I tried The Age of Innocence a while ago but couldn't get into it. It's a shame as it sounds really good. I guess it might just be that I wasn't in the right frame of mind. I hope you enjoy it - you'll have to post your thoughts and let me know what you thought of it! Welcome to the forum, btw.
