Nollaig Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Oooh Sirinrob it's a fantastic book! Can't wait to hear your thoughts. I'm almost two thirds through If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things, and am planning to finish it tonight. I'd probably have done well to read it slower, but I want to know what happens. It's definitely leaning towards great.
AbielleRose Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I read 2 whole pages in Bitten today. Progress is still progress, however little it may be.
Nollaig Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Just finished If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things. What a wonderful book.
chesilbeach Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Read about 30 pages of Cranford this morning, but have been busy all day, so haven't had chance for any more. Will make up for it tomorrow.
Inver Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I've read his other books and loved them. I really enjoyed The Five People you Meet in Heaven and For One More Day. I think I may have even shed a tear! I did too. So does he have a new one out. I am about halfway through Eclipse and then I musr=t reread Macbeth How are your getting on with Eclipse Joe? Read couple chapters or Twenty Wishes....one of my Secret Santa reads
Moon Maiden Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I'm about half way through Michael Tolliver Lives by Armisted Maupin - it's pretty good so far. I really enjoyed the Tales of the City series and it's nice to pick up the story again.
Nollaig Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I'm now re-reading articles from my beloved special edition of Scientific American about time, and contemplating starting The Magicians.
BookJumper Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 @ Steve: told you so . Giulia met Jasper today details on the Fforde ffread.
bethany725 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 No time for reading today, but I got to read about 20 more pages of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society last night.. not much more to go!
Nollaig Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Giulia met Jasper today details on the Fforde ffread. I just wanted to give you a hug for that. There.
Kylie Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) I ended up staying up last night til 5am, and read the first hundred pages of If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things. Absolutely fabulous opening. It's kinda lulling just below 'great' at the moment, but depending on how it all ties together it could become one of my favourite books. Is that the one about the lives of residents in a street? I bought another book from Rory's book list today: Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. ETA: Oh, I just found your review, Noll Edited January 30, 2010 by Kylie
Kylie Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 No I haven't. I was thinking about getting it recently, but I read a lot of bad reviews and it put me off. Now I'm back to considering it again. I like your new av, by the way.
Nollaig Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 It's definitely a niche book, and I'd say unless you have a really good gut feeling about it, don't bother. And thank you Just stuck it together in Paintshop after watching the movie
Kylie Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I'll have to give it more thought. I think I'd be interested in the style of writing (well, not the lack of speech marks though) and it sounds like the type of story I'd usually go for. I think I'll put it back on my list of books to look out for.
Weave Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Finished 'Eve Green' by Susan Fletcher and about to start 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee
catwoman Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 After contemplating what to read I decided to put down The Scent of Blood and started to read Betrayed by P.C & Kirstin Cast. Going well so far and is doing what I wanted it to do, get my sinking mojo back. I am haoping to have some time when the kids have swimming to sink my teeth into a few chapters and hopefully finish it tonight when the kids have gone to bed. The rest of my book activity will be deciding what books to take to the states with me. I always struggle with this
Lucybird Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Dead as a doornail (Sookie Shackhouse book 5) arrived this morning.
ethan Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I was going to download Wolf Hall to my Kindle this morning only to find that Amazon has withdrawn all of MacMillan's and it's subsidiaries books from the e-book format, and it appears their paperpacks as well, in the first salvo in the coming war over e-book pricing. Being in the mood for something historical, I instead downloaded a new book The Many Deaths Of The Firefly Brothers by Thomas Mullen.
lexiepiper Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I'm almost done with The Blue Nowhere and then will be starting Charlaine Harris - A Touch Of Dead
StephenKingman Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I have 3 more stories to finish reading in 'Just After Sunset' by Stephen King and then i will move onto the book 'Precious' by Sapphire.
AbielleRose Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Should finish up Bitten (finally!) within the next couple days before moving onto Gone with the Wind.
Kookie Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 If started reading Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
