Janet Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've just started The Mesmerist by Barbara Ewing. It got off to a slowish start but is picking up pace a bit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've been reading Influential Women by Wendy Virgo - really good book, I'm racing through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly3004 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just finished Dune by Frank Herbert this lunch time, liked the book as it was quite epic, was a little dissapointed by the ending though. Moving onto 'To Kill a Mockingbird', found it lying about in the office bookshelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libri vermis Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Finished The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. It meandered a bit for me towards the end, and didn't seem quite as funny, but it was good enough to check out more in the Discworld series. I just started One For The Money by Janet Evanovich, and I am not impressed so far. I get all the New Jersey jokes, because I was raised there, but the humor is very low-brow and not to my taste. This may turn out to be one of those rare books that I will not finish. I will read at least 100 pages, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Finished The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett.

Although I liked this one well enough, I don't consider it one of his best, so if you enjoyed it, you are in for a right treat with the others!

Nollaig Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 That's a gorgeous copy of Dorian, Nollaig. I felt so guilty! The guy behind the counter was like, 'it's a stunning edition isn't it?' and I said, 'Yup, and I shouldn't be buying it because I have the book but it's too pretty to resist!' I needed a new hardback reading copy anyway, my Norton isn't something I'd want to heft around with me, my 1925 is partically in a glass case and my leatherbound one stays in it's box.
