Lilywhite Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 I started this one last night and I'm enjoying it so far. I can see myself reading more by Tess Gerritsen in the future. Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I really enjoyed the Tess Gerritsen book, i'm keeping an eye out for more. I started the Gormenghast Trilogy but found it quite difficult to read, it takes a lot more attention than I have right now. I picked up Patricia Cornwell instead, cruel & unusual. I'm really enjoying it so far. Some parts I feel like I read this book before even though I know I haven't, because it's very similar to her fist couple of books. Other than that a great read.

Lilywhite Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 i finished it this afternoon. I thought the end was a bit rushed but apart from that an excellent read. I've now picked up night watch by terry pratchett. Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ooh, I LOVED Night Watch! Have you read the other City Watch Discworld books, Kat? You can read it without having read theothers, but it'll make more sense if you've read them first & you'll get all the little "in-jokes" Mr Pratchett likes to sprinkle liberally through his books. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I will have to look out for those Kell, I only pick Pratchett up as and when I see them, which isn't very often in my library lol I'm all new to the discworld and the world of Pratchett having only picked up my first book this year, but I'm fast becoming a huge fan.

Kell Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Well, if you fancy going back to the rest of the City Watch books later on, you should go for them in this order: Guards! Guards! Men at Arms Feet of Clay They'll give you a good grounding in the Watch background. You can then follow on with: Maskerade (they show up in that one, though it's not technically about them per se) Jingo The Fifth Elephant Monstrous Regiment (again, just a cameo, but such a good one!) Thud! (the most recent one which is definitely a Watch book). Hope you enjoy them all as much as I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks for that Kell, I found it difficult to find his books in order so I now just read what I can find. I may have just been to the library so my 'to be read' pile has just gotten a lot larger not to mention Read It Swap It..... nobody said it was addictive..... anybody know where RISI ANON is?? (and id there a computer terminal near by to check the latest books) It's that bad i had two deliveries of post this morning!!!! It's a good job its getting lighter out now, more daylight reading hours lol Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 This IS RISI anon - we just all fessed up to our names - LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 it should be fine as long as the postman doesn't quit , I might actually have to go out and physically find books then..... oh no :shock: Just finished Kathy Lette - How to kill your husband. I really enjoyed this one (can you tell by the reading it all in one sitting??) and in usual Kathy Lette style, it had me girly-giggling away to jokes that the other half just didn't get, no matter how much I explained. A great girly read and highly recommended. Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Library Nook Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just finished Kathy Lette - How to kill your husband.I really enjoyed this one (can you tell by the reading it all in one sitting??) and in usual Kathy Lette style, it had me girly-giggling away to jokes that the other half just didn't get, no matter how much I explained.

Lilywhite Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Just finished Tess Gerritsen - The Surgeon I didn't enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed the Apprentice but it was still a good read none the less. I like the actual plot of the books but I don't like the 'only female cop on the entire force, so i got to have an attitude' kind of characters. When the lead cop isn't moaning about being female it's a great book. I may just read Vanish next.... kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I finished reading Vanish today by Tess Gerritsen and I think I've found my favourite so far. An absolutley brilliant read. I still have the 'after book haze' where i've finished reading a book but I've been so engrossed I have to adjust back to the real world Highly recommended.

Lilywhite Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Make sure to put aside plenty of time because you might not want to put it down once you've started Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilywhite Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I started reading Dave Pelzer's - A Child Called 'It' this afternoon as it was just sat looking at me from the table. So far, an amazing story but not one for the faint hearted. You really feel for this boy and want to read on but a few times I had to put this one down to compose myself again.

Tash Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I had to have a break between the first two of his books and I still haven't got round to reading the third. It's fascinating to read the life of someone like him, who has endured all of what he has and still stands strong but it does take alot out of you at the same time.

Lilywhite Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 I did finish it in the end, and it's a great story although it is pretty harrowing. I think I will read the next ones to see how his life turns out. Started reading Stephen King - From a Buick 8 I started reading this one last year and never got round to finishing it, so I started it again (because I forgot how it goes lol) Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I've only read the 1st Dave pelzer book, but I have the 2nd & 3rd ones waiting to be read once I'm in the right mood to cope with them as the 1st one was very, very good... but very, very harrowing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanna Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have read them all and yes they are harrowing, what kept me going was a need to know why she did it, there is no excuse for it, but I just wanted to know why!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 I finished From a Buick 8 tonight, it was ok, well written and with Stephen King in general but i found he went a bit too sci-fi in the end instead of horror. He did the same thing with dreamcatcher and it kinda ruined the end of the story. I still found it a good read though, just not my kind of story. not sure what I will read next.... kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 I haven't had any time to read the past few days as we had guests staying over and I thought it a bit too rude to sneak off with my book at the first chance lol Anyway, my boyfriend is going away this afternoon for a long weekend so it looks like I might be able to squeeze in a few hours reading I managed to get Martina Cole - The Take from the library finally so I think that will be first. Hooray for Bank Holidays Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
