Cookie Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I finished Catch 22 and loved it. It made me laugh and nearly made me cry too! Started Labyrinth by Kate Mosse but I'm not sure I like it. It's not really bad but I don't really want to pick it up. So I started the 3rd Merry Gentry book which I'm already a third of the way through, who doesn't love sexy fairies?

Nollaig Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I love the sound of Coffee With Oscar Wilde and look forward to hearing what you think of it Noll So far, I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Very small, easy read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Sounds like an interesting read on the Vikings. My gr-grandfather came over from Norway so I've always been interested in his background. I didn't get much reading in of 'Acceptable Risk' over the weekend, but I'm a little over halfway finished. Tbh I'm kind of bothered because I really don't like the main characters for some reason! Both the man and woman seem so wimpy that I'm finding it really hard to enjoy it. I love the subject matter, but I just want to scream at the characters!

Cookie Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The Book People were in our building today and I didn't buy anything! Truth be told there weren't many decent books out. All there seemed to be were childrens books and cookery books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All there seemed to be were childrens books and cookery books. I've noticed at my work and my mum's work the book people keep taking kids books and cookery books or other bits and bobs in, never adult fiction these days,when they have plenty of them in stock, maybe if they did they would sell more.

chesilbeach Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Read a couple of hundred pages of Bel-Ami so far and thoroughly enjoying it. Made the mistake of visiting Waterstone's, just to have a look round, obviously, so I didn't really mean to buy ... Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro Adventures on the High Teas by Stuart Maconie Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater Tales of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead Dracula by Bram Stoker ... but they just sort of jumped off the shelves at me, begging me to buy they and take them home to be read. How could I say "No" to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater One of those ones I thought Kookie might enjoy, of course, I will be able to read it too! Dracula by Bram Stoker My favourite classic! Tales of the Otherworld by Kelley ArmstrongVampire Academy by Richelle Mead I want! ... but they just sort of jumped off the shelves at me, begging me to buy they and take them home to be read. How could I say "No" to that? Of course you couldn't, you did the right thing As for me, my mojo still on it's holidays. I've no clue when it will be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
