Rawr Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks Rawr! I need everything ounce of luck I can get my hands on I'm sure you'll be fine
whitegold Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Finishing up She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. Definitely a good read! Thinking about what I should read next : Peony in Love or The Boleyn Inheritance. Suggestions? (I know..two very random books but they're the only 2 I have on vaca with me haha)
catwoman Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) I've been bogged down with uni stuff (last exam tomorrow! ) so my reading activity has been non-existent. However, I've just bought Q&A by Vikas Swarup after watching Slumdog Millionaire last night and can't wait to get started Good Luck with the last exam mate! Also can't wait to read what your thoughts are on that book. Just got back from the post office and I got myself a brand new Karin Slaugter, titled Fractured. Fantastic!

joe Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I purchased 'My Cousin Rachel' by Daphne Du Maurier. I love that book:) I have read a little more of New Moon
green Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Finished Everlost by Neal Shusterman this morning before work,and started Elizabeth Chadwick's historical novel The Wild Hunt this evening. Also got A Dream Of Wolves by Michael White & Castle by J Robert Lennon by post today,so they're stacking up!
Mexicola Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I love that book:) Ah, that's good to know It was a bit of an impulse buy; I've not previously read any Du Maurier.
Lucybird Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I have just over 40 pages left of The Lucifer Effect, and am on the last chapter.
Moon Maiden Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I'm still working my way through Belching Out The Devil and Conjugal Rites - about half way through both of them. Had 3 new books arrive courtesy of Amazon Marketplace: Michael Tolliver Lives - Armisted Maupin My Sister, My Love - Joyce Carol Oates Distance - Ewan Morrison It's amazing what you can justify when a book is 1p!
chesilbeach Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I've only read 30 pages of Moral Disorder today, but I finally get how the chapters/short stories within the book are coming together! I'm starting to enjoy it a lot, and I think I'll be dead keen on getting it finished this weekend now
Chrissy Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I have just started reading 'The Possession Of Mr Cave', recommended by Weave. So far, so gripping!
Janet Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Finishing up She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. Definitely a good read! Thinking about what I should read next : Peony in Love or The Boleyn Inheritance. Suggestions? (I know..two very random books but they're the only 2 I have on vaca with me haha) I have taken the liberty of starting a poll for you in the What Shall I Read Next...? forum.
Kylie Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I'm halfway through The Road and really enjoying it. Hopefully I'll finish it on the weekend.
BookJumper Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Today I've started Alphabeth of Thorn; I'm not very far into it but so far it's gorgeous beautifully written, beautiful looking and feeling book, and it's about books - what more could one want? Having received my refund from Amazon, I've also re-bought To Reign in Hell, The Kiss of Life and A Monster's Notes; instead of the other books I'd originally bought, which were in particular bad shape, I've ordered The Original Frankenstein (which brings together Mary Shelley's earliest surviving manuscript alongside the more well-known version edited by P.B. Shelley) - which it will be good to peruse before attacking A Monster's Notes* - and Olaf Stapledon's Starmaker: The Scholarly Edition. Starmaker was a bit prohibitive so I set myself back an extra
Stephanie2008 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I finished Alphabet Weekends by Elizabeth Noble and now I'm not sure what to read next. I'm thinking maybe A Tale of Two Cities or Oliver Twist (re-read from years ago) by Charles Dickens
Charm Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I've only a few more chapters of Dark Lover by J R Ward to read, will probably finish it tonight.
Nollaig Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I've read about 160 pages of When True Night Falls today, which is less than I would like. Hoping to get another 20 or so before sleep, so I can finish it tomorrow.
sirinrob Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I've bitten the bullet and now I'm in the planning phase of writing a fantasy novel - gulp. It means I'll end up reading even more now as I'll need to research various topics I would like to include

Cookie Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Yesterday was a day for finishing books. I managed to finish A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, Mr Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange and I also finished The Nations Favourite Poems. And by then it was time for bed. This brings my total books read this year to 7. So today I'm in the strange position of not being in the middle of a book. I'm not sure what to start next though but I have about seventy to choose from though so I'm sure I will find something!!! Today I will also be ordering some more thanks to suggestions from you guys
Mexicola Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I picked up The Boleyn Inheritance from Sainsburys for a mere
catwoman Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Yesterday was a day for finishing books. I managed to finish , Mr Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange:) What did you think of Mr Darcy Vampire? I thought it was quite good in the end. As for me I have judt finished Shiver, what a great book in the end. Will be writing my review shortly. Decided to go back to a bit of crime and murder so I am about to start Val McDermid's Fever of the bone.
ned Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 30 pages of Cujo left, will be finished very soon. Then its on to the tough decision of what to read next
MuggleMagic Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I purchased 'My Cousin Rachel' by Daphne Du Maurier. That book is BRILLIANT! I loved it I hope you enjoy it I finished reading Mrs de Winter by Susan Hill, which I was very dissapointed with. I started reading Wicked by Gregory Maquire I am enjoying it I'm up to part 2 so far - really weird book
Peacefield Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Only managed about 50 pages of Close To Shore on my day off yesterday, but I'm loving it. I thought it was just a story loosely based on the shark attacks off the coast of New Jersey in the early 1900's, but with fiction built in. It is however non-fiction, all about these attacks and I'm finding it fascinating! I really love Cappuzzo's writing style too .
Mexicola Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 That book is BRILLIANT! I loved it I hope you enjoy it Thanks, looks like I made a good choice! I'm still reading The Picture of Dorian Gray and am enjoying it immensely. I hope to finish it at the weekend and then will possibly be moving onto Small Island - Andrea Levy.
