Cookie Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Have just started Wilt in Nowhere by Tom Sharpe. Have not read a novel by him before so was intrigued and it is entertaining so far. 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.

Brida Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 The Rotter's Club by Johnathan Coe. My friend made me read it because she loves Coe's stuff, and I loved it I wanted to read the sequel, but never found the time (it's on my tbr list though). I hope you'll like it I finished Shout down the moon by Lisa Tucker (yaay it only took me a few days - can't remember the last time that happened during school / uni time of year *happydances*). Not quite sure what I think about it yet though. I have to give it some more thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Univerze Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 75-ish pages of Kushiel's dart, by Jacqueline Carey. Gah, this remains one of my favourite books ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeeeve Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I missed the delivery of my books today. No big deal - I knew I would. But I assumed I'd be able to get them re-delivered to my local post office like you always have been able to with amazon, except now they're using a different company so I have to arrange it for a weekday and it has to be at my address. Looks like I'm going to be ringing in sick to work on Monday. The things I do for books. Also read 50 pages of Day of the Triffids. Tis super.

Nicola Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well I've been super busy with uni work recently, however I have managed to squeeze a few books in. I finished Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book and thoroughly enjoyed it I'm almost finished The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks but can only manage a few pages at a time as it's so romantically sad. Brilliant book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbielleRose Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Not much reading has happened today (aka, about 2 paragraphs ) But I plan on spending my evening finishing Heresy (finally!) and moving on to Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken. It looks really good and I just can't resist cracking it open any longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I've been to the bookfair. It goes for three days but we just went for the first two. Almost all of the books had been put out by then, so I'm happy that I've seen everything. It's totally exhausting being on your feet for two days though. I got a good haul and also managed to restrain myself a bit. I bought about 70 books; of those, at least half a dozen were replacement copies of editions I already own (ones that are too shabby or don't match other editions), one is for my brother and there are maybe 6-10 non-fiction books that won't be added to my TBR pile. I'll post a complete listing on my reading blog later. Unfortunately I haven't had any time read in the last couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
