Stephanie2008 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I haven't read for a few days now. I really need to get back into Neverwhere and find my reading mojo again!
whitegold Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Finished Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. Great book! I loved how the movie stayed true to the book (that hardly ever happens..). Now onto The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer Update: 100 pages into The Short Second Life. Easy read, much like Meyers Twilight series. I'm liking it, but not loving it so far.

Kate Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I plan to spend the morning reading Dead Sight by Glenn Chandler
Karsa Orlong Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Over the weekend I finished Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama and have now started Lee Child's Gone Tomorrow.
chrysalis_stage Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I was happily reading more of Perdido Street Station - China Mieville earlier and becoming really engrossed and excited that I could read it all day today, untill I noticed the next two pages/four sides were missing. There is no evidence of loose pages so it must just be a typo, either may it has p*ssed me off off I go to amazon to buy another copy (I did get this one from a charity shop but still it is in good condition and whoever gave it away knowing there were 4 sides missing, in such a detailed book....)
Atlas Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I got 3 books in the post yesterday that i ordered off the internet, Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo and Don Quixote. Right now i have just started on Three Musketeers.

That is so annoying, is it good I have just read The Scar but wasn't sure if I should have read this one before as I think it deals with the same world?
Kylie Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 How frustrating Chrysalis! I hope you can get another copy real soon. I've read some of my Wodehouse book today.
Cookie Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 That's annoying Chrysalis! I finally finished reading Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow and I've started Industrial Magic - Kelley Armstrong.
jenmck Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I've just finished reading Jess Granger's "Beyond the Shadows" which is the sequel to her debut Sci Fi romance "Beyond the Rain". I love the first book. The sequel is...not as strong. But it's still really good with some awesome world building. Working full time now and still trying to produce books for my publishers kind of sucks the time away from reading.
frankie Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I hope it's a good thing, this is one of my favourite reads from last year! I've almost finished The Vampire's Revenge, will probably finish it tonight Charm, I'm still undecided. But it's going good Yessss! I finally got Charlaine Harris's Dead in the Family! I must finish Let the Right One today so I can start reading this one.
chrysalis_stage Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 That is so annoying, is it good I have just read The Scar but wasn't sure if I should have read this one before as I think it deals with the same world? Yeah The Scar is in the same world but I have read that it reads pretty well as a stand alone as there are completely new characters, that said i'd definitely recommend reading Perdido Street Station, it is fantastic. Perdido focuses in the city, Scar is the the sea as far as i'm aware, how have you found The Scar? Well now I have to buy Perdido Street Station again i'm just going to buy The Scar and Iron Council with it, why not.. I shall try and concentrate on reading Miss Smilla's now, I have definitely not been feeling this book very much although I feel it's not bad, maybe i'm just not in the mood for this type of book but I shall continue anyway

Perdido focuses in the city, Scar is the the sea as far as i'm aware, how have you found The Scar? I really enjoyed it, I find his style of writing to be interesting it's not an easy read by any means you do have to concentrate on the whole story. I am definitely going to read the others too though. My favourite of his though has been The Kraken though.
lauraloves Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 i got Operation Sunshine - Jenny Colgan free with a magazine today.
AbielleRose Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Read a little bit more of Burned and am planning to spend a couple hours this evening buried in it.
Charm Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Yessss! I finally got Charlaine Harris's Dead in the Family! Oh I want!! Will definitely be in my next book order I finished The Vampire's Revenge by Raven Hart and have started The Lunatic Cafe by Laurell K Hamilton

Charm Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Why haven't you ordered it already?? Tut tut Charm! I know, I know, I should have but my last order was placed before it was actually released here .... that's my excuse anyway
frankie Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I know, I know, I should have but my last order was placed before it was actually released here .... that's my excuse anyway Not good enough, I pre-ordered my copy at least a month ago! I have also pre-ordered the next Dexter book
joe Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I am halfway through Keeping the Dead by Tess Gerritsen and I will probably have it finished by tonight, love this author, I want to read all of her books
Coffin Nail Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I am halfway through Keeping the Dead by Tess Gerritsen and I will probably have it finished by tonight, love this author, I want to read all of her books I read the Bone Garden last month and she had the same effect on me.
Kate Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I'm on page 150 of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It is an interesting read.
