Peacefield Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 It was a very eagerly received Christmas present Will certainly let you know the verdict; I have high hopes for this one! Excellent present, Mexicola! I've been hearing about this one for awhile and am so intrigued by the story. Do you have a fave Chevalier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexicola Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Excellent present, Mexicola! I've been hearing about this one for awhile and am so intrigued by the story. Do you have a fave Chevalier? Yes, I would have to say my favourite is The Lady and the Unicorn. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Yes, I would have to say my favourite is The Lady and the Unicorn. How about you? The same! See, now I know you and I have excellent taste . I love The Lady and the Unicorn; it's just so fascinating to me, learning about tapestry making, and reading it from several different perspectives was just the best .

Oh yes, excellent taste I loved the whole tapestry aspect too. I think Remarkable Creatures should be similarly enthralling given its subject matter; I love the fossil-finding, Mary Anning story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethany725 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Read some more of Chasing Harry Winston - Lauren Weisberger, am now halfway through. Will hopefully read another chapter tonight. Are you enjoying this so far? I couldn't make it through much of her book, despite liking her other two similar novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say it's fantastic but I'm plodding on with it, gone to far to give up now! I much prefer The Devil Wears Prada and I haven't got round to Everyone Worth Knowing yet.

"Everyone Worth Knowing" was much better to me than this one, so you can hold out hope for that one at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Univerze Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Finished about the last half of Lick of Frost by Laurell Hamilton today. It's not a very difficult book to read, far from, was nice to get back to it. Now I am waiting for the next part to be delivered, which is why i read this one.

Ben Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I brought the first Twlight Book. Another one lost to the realms of the underworld.. I read around about 100 pages of Crocodile Tears in the bath earlier and I have to say the latest Alex Rider book is picking up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucybird Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I just finished The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde, review is in the works. Preferred it to the previous in the series but still prefer the Thursday Next series I think. I want to know if i think it worth all the fuss. That's why I bought it too, wasn't impressed but still want to read the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipread Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Have you narrowed it down to any choices?

Oh dear, both new to me too I think I have heard some quite good reviews on The Kite Runner though and I'm sure I've seen a thread on it here or read about it on some members blogs.

Sorry I couldn't help more No problem I`ve read good things about The Kite Runner and The First Casualty looks good My problem is my mojo seems to be going AWOL on a regular basis just lately so I need the book to grab my attention straight away!

Janet Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I've read, and enjoyed, both, but I would say The Kite Runner was the better of the two. Hosseini's next one, A Thousand Splendid Suns is just as good, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I know the feeling only too well lately However, Mr Montanari seems to be keeping me interested which is a good sign. I hope your mojo comes and stays for a long time!

catwoman Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have read the grand sum of ten pages today. I am just too tired and not really in the right zone to read today. I about to head to bed so I may try again in a little bit. It is such a shame as the book is awesome and loving it alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
