Mexicola, glad you're liking the Historian. I loved that one, and am anticipating Kostova's new book coming out in January! It's called 'The Swan Thieves.'

 

Oh, excellent. I hadn't thought to look whether she had any other books out/coming out. The Swan Thieves looks very good, thanks for the heads up! :D

Well I have just finished Soul Music by Terry Pratchett taking my 2009 reading total up to 145!

Posted

My copy of Pandaemonium by Christopher Brookmyre arrived this morning, courtesy of Amazon and my Xmas money (yay!).

 

I've also started reading 3 books to kick off my new year of reading:

 

The Plucker (illustrated novel) by Brom (re-read)

The Child Thief (illustrated novel) by Brom

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampires #1) by Charlaine Harris (re-read)

 

I got the two Brom books for Xmas from my lovely hubby who knows just how much I adore Brom's art and words. And I plan to read the entire Southern Vampires series over the course of the year, so although I read the 1st 4 books a few years ago, I'm revisiting them to refresh my memory before ploughing ahead with books 5-9.

I read a couple more chapters of 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' before sleeping :D

Thanks Kylie and Charm :D

 

WOW! Well done you! I thought I was doing well with 60, but girl you've almost doubled that! I'm such a lightweight :) I'm hope you hit the 120 mark. Just wondering ..did you read this much before bcf? I did read a lot before but never as much as I did since I've joined here.

 

I'm not gonna hit the 120 mark because I didn't have enough light reads with me, I'm too tired to read anything heavy and would prefer to read in Finnish now. I started reading a medieval whodunnit by Ellis Peters and I have to say the language is making my head spin :friends0:;)

 

And I definitely didn't read this much before BCF. I usually read about 40-50 books a year, and last year when I joined BCF I made a new record, 77 books. This year has been absolutely ridiculous bookswise, I've read the amount which I usually read in 2 years :D I think I'll actually go and record my annual reading amounts on my 2009 blog just for fun. I've kept a record of my readings from 1998 :lol:

These books made by head spin when I started them but after a while I got into them it was like an old pair of slippers. I have read every one of the Chronicles and some of them twice! They are really great reads Frankie. I hope you enjoy them.:friends0:

About halfway through 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' now, Stephanie, it is a very good short story, i already know the brief story as i saw the film with Depp in it a few years ago and had no idea King had penned it :D

Is that the novella by Stephen King that got made into the film Secret Window starring Johnny Depp?

I saw some books down town today that I wanted, but they were too expensive in that particular shop :D

Yes indeed but I think the story is better than the film (according to my OH) :D

I'm going to try and get through chapter 5 of The Shining tonight, if not I will definately get through it and hopefully a few more chapters tomorrow.

Awesome, I bought that book today at Waterstones, glad to hear you think it is good.

Have almost finished Farewell to the East End by Jennifer Worth - one of the 3 books that Coran got me for Christmas. I love her books, as my parents were both born and brought up in the East End - I used to love listening to Mum's stories, and they remind me of her so much.

In the mail yesterday a bookring book from a fellow bookcrosser

 

When Christmas Comes by Debbie Macomber

I finished the New Moon Companion book yesterday, and last night I read the prologue for Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong :D. Hopefully I'll get lots more in this weekend.
