lopeanha Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) YAY! I'm too scared to look at my number for July. I know it won't be pretty. Thanks for the YAY and don't worry, your mojo will be coming back! I myself really don't know how I've managed to read that much last month and I just hope that my mojo stays this way ( no jinxing please ) Yay!!!!! I haven't even counted mine or even had the energy to update my list again.....dam those free book on Amazon read some good ones though Lopeanha you might like some of them Your reading-list ist just plain intimidating I have no idea how you manage to read that amount of books. Quite awesome! I'm sure there are some books that would interest me too, but I don't have a kindle and I'm not planning to get one in the soon future. I'm not convinced yet. Especially as amazon germany is quite more expensive with the kindle itself and with the ebooks. Edited August 4, 2011 by lopeanha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopeanha Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 S. G. Browne > Anonyme Untote (Breathers) synopsis from amazon Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere. my thoughts A very funny read, that will make you sympathise with the Zombies, even though they're (hm well) Zombies. It's an easy read with quite short chapters, so you can always read one more. Rating: 4/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hey Frankie, how are you? You're right, he's definately a keeper and the good thing is, he buys even more books for himself than I buy for myself and he likes to get one (or two, or three) for me too when he's out bookshopping Bloody hell, I might have to come to Germany to find me a good boyfriend My German is not very good, but Ich will Bücher haben, Sie müss mich viele kaufen Or something of the sort! I got The Slap at Waterstone's because I've read about it on the forum and they had a sticker on it, that said if you spent over 20 pounds, you get this book for only 0,99. I just couldn't resist I might take me a while to start reading it, as it's not high up my priority list. Poor book, seems like nobody wants to buy it on it's own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bloody hell, I might have to come to Germany to find me a good boyfriend My German is not very good, but Ich will Bücher haben, Sie müss mich viele kaufen Or something of the sort! Don't know if that's a german thing, though. I bet there's a finnish man like that too. And that sentence is good to know Though it would be "müssen mir" not "müss mich". That would make you german 100% better than my finnish, as I don't know a single word Poor book, seems like nobody wants to buy it on it's own It's just not my usual read, sometimes I like to stroll out of my reading-comfort-zone and that's when I would read a book like this. But there is this "sometimes" and not "often", that's why it's not so high up in my priority list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 My reading activity so far for this month: August 44. S. G. Browne > Anonyme Untote (Breathers) 4/5 45. Gemma Malley > The Declaration 3/5 46. Lisa McMann > Wake (Wake) 2/5 47. April Henry > Breakout (Schock Point) 2/5 48. Alden Bell > Nach dem Ende (The Reapers are the Angels) 4/5 the last couple of weeks my mojo deserted me, I'm still wading slowly through State of Mind by John Katzenbach, which I started on the 11th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've put State of mind on the side for now and read Numbers by Rachel Ward, which was really bad. I didn't like this "hip" writing style which probably is intended for teenagers to like it better. I could hardly stand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It's off-putting when you get a couple of books in a row that you don't enjoy, isn't it? Hope you get a good one next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks Chesil, the next one was indeed better and I read in in two days. It's a YA book by a german author. Yesterday evening I started The fire within by Chris D'Lacey, it's such a lovely book and as a re-read it might get my mojo really back on track.

lopeanha Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) I have decided to try and answer those book-questions this month. Here we go... Day 01 – Best book you read last year This would be any of the three Millennium-trilogy-books by Stieg Larsson. As I loved all three, I simply couldn not decide which one's the best.

lopeanha Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Day 02 – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times That would probably be Go ask Alice by Anonymous, which I read quite a few times in german and english when I was in my teens.

lopeanha Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Day 03 – Your favourite series That would probably be the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, because it's a series that I've read and re-read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Day 04 – Favourite book of your favourite series Probably the first one, Harry Potter and the philosophers stone, as this is where all the magic starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Day 05 – A book that makes you happy I guess that would be The Giggler Treatment by Roddy Doyle because it's just so hilarious! Day 06 – A book that makes you sad there are only a few books that made me almost shed a tear, the only ones that come to my mind are New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.

lopeanha Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Lovely bf surprised me with new books yesterday: Chris D'Lacey > Firestar Chris D'Lacey > The Fire Eternal Chris D'Lacey > Dark Fire Chris D'Lacey > Fire World I was looking toward his bookcase and there were books with light reflecting spines where there weren't any before. So I asked him what books they were and where they stood before ( I couldn't read the spines because of the reflection), as he his rearranging his bookcase. He just said that I should just have a look if I wanted to know. And there they were, the rest of the Last Dragon Chronicles. The books found a new home in my bookcase right away I am so happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Oh my, my Mojo has left me in the past couple of months. I've only read 3 books in September and only 3 books in October so far. The mojo is coming back slowly though and I hope it will stay for a long while! At the beginning of the month I started a new Job at the public library, which is really great! And I'm getting bigger eyes every day, all those books I'd like to read ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
