poppyshake Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Finished 'Temeraire' and started 'Cloud Atlas'. Some books allow you to multi task, ie you can actually ask for a cuppa tea or eat a chocolate bar when reading them, some demand complete attention, this is one of the latter I think.
Mexicola Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I went to a bootfair this morning and came away with twelve Dickens books (all in great condition) for the total sum of
Jessi Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I just read a few more chapter of Kissed by an Angel out in the sun.
frankie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 No, I haven't read it, but I'm a fan of Zusak so all of his books automatically make my wish list. Yep, I kinda figured you'd be into getting all the Zusak books I went to a bootfair this morning and came away with twelve Dickens books (all in great condition) for the total sum of
AbielleRose Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Started and finished Angel of Mercy by Lurlene McDaniel today. Its one of my all time favorite books that I break out when I just want to read something familliar and close to my heart. Thinking about starting it's sequel Angel of Hope in a bit.
Stephanie2008 Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I had an hour to spare this afternoon so skim-read Twilight
chesilbeach Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Just finished Queen of Babble Gets Hitched by Meg Cabot. Perfect rom com entertainment
Steeeeve Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Today I finished Day of the Triffids and have so far read 100 pages of Ender's Game. Both are superb. Although Ender's Game is a bit more of a page turner.
Inver Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Kenny convinced me to start a 'Hiccup Horrendous III' book today and have done. They are very funny and I can just hear David Tennat narrating them, as he has a few of them on CD. 'How to Speak Dragonese' ~ Cressida Cowell
bethany725 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I'm about 3/4 through "Year of Wonders" that CaliLily sent through the US book ring. It's taking me a while because work has been super intense, but it's a great read and I'm enjoying it!
AbielleRose Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I'm glad you're enjoying it so far Bethany! It really is a great book (I haven't even started A Thousand Splendid Suns yet... Soon, promise!)
bethany725 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I am! And dear goodness, please do NOT worry about starting ATSS... Take your time, start it when you can, and don't fret. I won't mind if you don't get to it until 6 months from now, I swear! I'm not in any rush here
Peacefield Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I decided to start reading an oldie called Acceptable Risk by Robin Cook today, so hopefully it won't disappoint!
Nollaig Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Both are superb. Although Ender's Game is a bit more of a page turner. Oooh I'll be keeping an eye on what you have to say about this one, I really want to read it. I read 73 pages of Dawn Of The Demontide. I was struggling with it a bit in the middle, but I think that was just because I didn't pick it up when I was sick for two weeks and it took me a while to get back into it. Only 100 pages left to go, so I'll hopefully finish it tomorrow.
Rawr Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I read around 40 pages of The Book Thief before sleep last night.
Chrissy Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I bought 'Genesis' by Karin Slaughter in paperback today. Another book to add to the T-B-R-when-mojo-eventually-returns. I'm hoping that this might be the missing mojo re calling book. My fingers are firmly crossed.

I think I started Ender's Game at about 7pm yesterday and I'm on page 190 now. 70 of which I read today. If ever a book could be called unputdownable this would be it. Read it!
Cookie Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I read a load of Mills and Boon at the weekend and I think they were just the thing to get me reading again. YAY for slush! I was having my usual problem of not being able to pick a book so I got OH to pick one at random and I'm now reading Catch 22. I'm already a quarter the way through and so far so good!

I'm hoping that this might be the missing mojo re calling book. My fingers are firmly crossed. I have this strong feeling that this might be the book to get your mojo back Haven't read it yet myself, but that's a series that doesn't leave you cold ^^ I started reading Full Moon by P. G. Wodehouse last night, I need a light read for bed, The Crimson Petal and the White is too heavy

Lexie Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I finished Kafka on the Shore during the weekend and decided to read The Time Traveler's Wife... So far I'm still happy with my decision!
pickle Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I read Gods Own Country by Ross Raisin yesterday, I didn't really enjoy it, the writing was very disjointed I am not sure whether I was supposed to sympathise or not with the main protagonist, the other characters were all equally unappealing....hmmm I remain undecided
Kylie Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I've read nothing in 5 days now. I've been too busy buying books to read them, but I'm determined to read at least a couple of pages of The Crimson Petal and the White before I go to bed tonight.
dave165 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I've read a some of Tom Sharpe's books before including one of his Wilt books. I've got this one on my TBR shelf, let me know if it's any good. I did enjoy it and will be looking out for more of his. Not sure it was laugh out loud funny, don't these blurbs go over the top?, but enjoyable none the less.
