rach.at.the.disco Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Finished Kiss - Jill Mansell this afternoon. Started Confessions of a Reluctant Recessionista - Amy Silver, not very far into it though. Oh and I added Picture Perfect - Jodi Picoult to my TBR pile along with COARR.
Jack Dawkins Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist arrived this morning from the Book Depository in the U.K(thanks Kylie for putting me on to this site). Not much reading going on at the moment,Bad Ear
DanC_84 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I finished 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' over the weekend. Loved it and immediately went out and procured 'The GIrl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest'. Read the first chapter last night.
Kylie Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist arrived this morning from the Book Depository in the U.K(thanks Kylie for putting me on to this site).Not much reading going on at the moment,Bad Ear You're welcome! I hope you're feeling better soon. I received the last of my books from the Book Depository on Friday: Stephen Chbosky: The Perks of Being a Wallflower I went away on the weekend and bought the following: Murray Bail: Eucalyptus Philip Pullman: The Amber Spyglass Gillian Rubinstein: Space Demons Gillian Rubinstein: Skymaze Gillian Rubinstein: Shinkei HG Wells: The Shape of Things to Come
chesilbeach Posted November 2, 2009 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!
libri vermis Posted November 2, 2009 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.
1sillywabbit Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Reading 'Once' by Morris Gleitzman its very similar to 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' and so far loving it bought it for my 13 yr old, and erm borrowed it first Enjoying it that much i'm going to get him the next one, called 'then'
Stephanie2008 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Still reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer but hoping to be on Breaking Dawn later today
BookJumper Posted November 2, 2009 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.
northernnutter Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Have just about finished Book 2 of Ashok Bankers' "Ramayana" series'. Another 4 to go!!! NN.
libri vermis Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I'd say that's one successful book you wouldn't have picked up of your own accord ! Definitely, and now I will have to purchase a copy when I have the money. This is one I must own. 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.

I am sorry things have not been pleasant lately. I hope it all gets better from here.

Mexicola Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Just started reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton today, was either that or Dracula, but I think that'll be next on my to read pile
Janet Posted November 2, 2009 Author 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.
Nicola Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I've just started a Johnny Cash autobiography. I found reading about his childhood in the cotton fields very interesting
