frankie Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Good news on all fronts Frankie! I can't wait to see what you get (and how many you get! ) Well, it's a two-digit number I have to say. I can't remember where I'm at right now, but I'm thinking when I'll add my new purchases 100 won't be too far away :lol: I just hope I don't reach it yet! Just finished Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain. Great read! just as good as Heart Sick!I think im going to start Push by Sapphire next I'm really glad you enjoyed Sweetheart! Weren't you surprised to discover that it was actually Archie who'd pursued the relationship and they'd actually had more than just a couple of nookies?? Do you think you're going to read the third novel in the series? I have to say it wasn't as good as the first two, but an okay read anyway. I hope you enjoy Push! I had a happy time in the bookstores yesterday, I'm just fretting to list the books I bought. I've also read more of Helter Skelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Aw, please don't keep me in suspense! I'm up to the 6th chapter of The Well of Lost Plots. I'm hoping to get some more of my punctuation/editing books read tonight because I've been neglecting them a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirinrob Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've finished the first 95 pages of Your Face Tomorrow by Javier Marias Vol 1 of a trilogy. I'm following along with the group read at the very excellent blog conversationalreading.com. That looks like my type of blog thank you for the heads up. I'm currently a quarter of the way through 'The Palace Walk' by Naguib Mahfouz. I'm enjoying it immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexicola Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm about 50 pages into The Winter King and enjoying it.

Cookie Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I read some more of American Gods. I really like Samantha, she made me laugh when she realises she's in a car alone with Shadow and begs him not to kill her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anisia Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm very happy, I seem to have found my rhythm with reading again! Today, I read about 50 pages of "True Tales of American Life" by Paul Auster and about 50 pages of "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke. Enjoying them both so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was a third novel! haha I'll most likely read it, i hate leaving series' unfinished! I was super shocked about his relationship with Gretchen. It the first book it just seemed like he fantasized about her and nothing more..but wow! And i'm really reallly enjoying Push! Halfway through the book and I only started it late last night.

Jessi Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 More Dead To The World again: I was reading on the train as I got to the bit where Sookie and Eric FINALLY got it on for real! I think the guy opposite me must have seen my eyebrows rise 2 inches up my face! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I have just been a'tescoing, and purely by chance two books fell into my trolley, Sarah Water's 'Little Stranger' Got mine in Sainsbury's Oh I liked 'The Little Stranger' a lot .. really atmospheric and creepy. Hope you enjoy it. I second Poppy's remarks. This was also my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. Don't normally read this type of book but really enjoyed this. Mine neither, but thought I would try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I read about 30 pages of Fahrenheit 451, it's overdue so I am trying to finish it within the next few days. As i've just woken up as usual from trying to sleep, I guess i'll be three quarters through by tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was super shocked about his relationship with Gretchen. It the first book it just seemed like he fantasized about her and nothing more..but wow! The third novel is Evil at Heart and it was published only last year. I totally agree with what you said about Archie, in the first novel it seemed only like make-believe and then we find out it's been for real. Really shocking, I loved that twist and that's why I loved it more than the first book And i'm really reallly enjoying Push! Halfway through the book and I only started it late last night. That poor girl has been through so much, its such a sad book I can't figure how she had the strength to go on. I'm just glad it wasn't a true story, thank goodness! I read more of Helter Skelter last night and will be continuing it today, quite naturally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've read several more chapters of The Well of Lost Plots. I'm really enjoying it, even though some of Thursday's adventures seem completely random. She goes off with one character and doesn't do much, then another character comes and picks her up and takes her off to do...not much. Puzzling, but still enjoyable. I've also read more of my two non-fiction books. I'm hoping to get one finished tomorrow and then I'll breathe a small sigh of relief as I'll be down to reading two books again.
