[Peacefield]

I decided to start Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen today. So excited!

[Kylie]

Yay! And I'm excited for you. I think you'll love it.

 

I've read a couple of stories from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Brilliant as always.

[Rawr]

I've spent the night thinking and staring at the light creeping gradually into the corner of my room and in between, read 60 pages of 'We Have Always Lived In The Castle', absolutely wonderful

[Kylie]

Sounds like a great reading experience!

[Rawr]

It is nice, i'd rather be sleeping but hey ho At least i'm not straining my eyes in the dark, that is overdone as it is!

[frankie]

I didn't realise they were both on the Rory List! I still haven't gotten around to fixing the Rory posts on my reading list so there are only a couple of dozen titles listed, I think. But it's nice to know I'm knocking more off the list!

 

Holy ****, now that I think about it, maybe poor Sherlock is only on 1001 list and not on the Rory list. Anyways, you'll get them ticked off from one list or another

Oooh! I hope you enjoy it!

 

I'm on page 250 of Trainspotting, I'm getting to the best part of the book IMO, the one that I remember well eventhough it was 10 years since I last read the book.

[Jessi]

I am hoping to finish Dark Continent at some time today!

Not to worry. Like you said, I'm getting it ticked off anyway. And it's a great read!

 

I read the title story of The Lottery and Other Stories, which happens to be the last story in the book but I skipped straight to it because I couldn't wait to read it.

Read a bit more of Kraken yesterday in the garden and this morning grrrrr for work getting the way of my reading.

[Kate]

I've been reading Stardust by Neil Gaimon. I can't believe how much it just flies off the page! Around 80 pages to go, should get that done today

[Cookie]

Have started the 4th in Laurell K Hamiltons Merry Gentry series A Stroke of Midnight. I don't know why but these books always keep me glued to the page.

I agree! Thanks goodness it's the weekend and pesky work can't interfere for a little while. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Kraken (I'm guessing you're enjoying it if work is getting in the way!) It sounds really interesting.

 

I just picked up a book in the mail: The Carbon Diaries 2017 by Saci Lloyd. Another for my dystopian list.

[frankie]

I've just finished Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Moving on to The Complete Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby.

I am loving it, its wierd but engrossing and this might be the first book I do a review off (eeek)

[Echo]

I'm still trying to get through The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I'm loving it, but it's just long. I have about 60 or so books in the waiting, and I just ordered a book about the history of Japanese manga. I'm hopeless.

[Kate]

I finished Stardust! What a great book Now I think I will read Erica James: The Queen of New Beginnings - although it is stuck at the bottom of my pile of library books:

[Jessi]

I am hoping to finish Dark Continent at some time today!

 

Done - shall have to pick a book to replace it now!

[ned]

The difficult decision now of wether to try and ease it out or take the other books off the top.

 

I have just under 100 pages of Girl With A Dragon Tattoo left

[Chrissy]

I think you should whip it out, tablecloth/set table style.

[Kate]

I think you should whip it out, tablecloth/set table style.

 

That would probably end up in me getting hurt! I ended up taking the books off to get it

[Roland Butter]

I think you should whip it out, tablecloth/set table style.

 

Have I just wandered into a Carry On film?

[Chrissy]

Have I just wandered into a Carry On film?

There's always one isn't there? Must you lower the tone?

 

There has been no book reading today, although I have rummaged through a rail magazine, a local magazine, and bits my Dad insisted on showing me from his paper!

[Kidsmum]

Sat reading in the garden today, bliss, less than 100 pages to go in Alias Grace now.
