MuggleMagic Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I finished reading Percy Jackson & the Lightning Theif. A bit of light reading and a super little fantasy to get lost in. I'm going onto White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Whatwhat whaat, I can't believe that of my best friend Wikipedia It's a real shame, the book not being what you were after and being a bad one as well. Sorry, I saw this after I posted. I think I'll have to go and edit the Wikipedia page at some stage. I was kind of interested in reading the book anyway because I thought it might be a little like one of my favourite series, Tomorrow, When the War Began. However, it turned out to be far inferior, which is pretty much what I was expecting because I don't think anything could top John Marsden's series.

Kate Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'm listening to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Really enjoying it. Think I'll finish it today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My reading has really slowed down but I did manage finish Brave New World. I enjoyed it when I could make myself sit down and read it. I'm not sure why I was so unwilling to pick it up. I'm not sure what to read next. I will have to stand in front of my book shelf and hope something jumps out at me.

Nollaig Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Haha. Damn. I'm wishing I hadn't stopped at Chapter Three last night. I really like the world she's created already. I'm trying really hard to take in all the details so as easy it is to read I'm going a bit slowly at the moment.I'll try to save my comments for that thread rather than clogging up this one. I had kind of avoided it because I didn't want to see spoilers. Yeah that's fair enough. I might actually spoiler tag my mini-reviews. That way all that's visable are the synopses, which are taken from the back covers. Also, you're right, there IS a lot to take in. I read the first book quite slowly at first, but once they set out on their adventure the wall of info lets up a bit and it's more about characters and twisty turn-iness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucybird Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Finished Sunrise by Rosie Thomas (only started it last night). Easy but quite a good read. Think will be Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides next, as I still can't find The Rotter's Club (God knows what I've done with it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollaig Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I... am reading too many books again. I still haven't finished Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. What's that all about? That said, it IS easy to get back into, but I need to stop taking on four and five books at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy619 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Easier said than done though. As soon as I get a new book, I have to start reading that in addition to the one that I already have on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 That's what happened to me! I got three books from other people, all of which I want to read, while reading Jonathan Strange, and I started I, Lucifer because I couldn't bear to wait. If I could even get two finished and have just two on the go, that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
