Charm Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I finished Copycat by Erica Spindler and enjoyed it so much I went straight on to the next one, Breakneck
Weave Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) I am half way through 'Passing Strange' by Daniel Waters The amount of zombie books I have read, I really think I can cope with zombies Edited August 9, 2010 by Weave
Peacefield Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 You are a zombie pro, Weave! I'm sure Simon Pegg would love you, I'm over halfway through In the Shadow of Gotham and wish I could've stayed home today and finished it! I'm really enjoying it
Kylie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I got my package in the mail this afternoon, containing: Jeff Lindsay: Dearly Devoted Dexter I now have all the Dexter books except the one that was released just recently. But I haven't read any of them yet. AA Milne: The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh I read Winnie-the-Pooh recently and totally fell in love with it, so I treated myself to a beautiful hardcover edition of both stories.
catwoman Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I am not sure what the French Title is, its the one where they go to Canada, I think I have read all the translated ones and love them. Catwoman I really recommend this series, the characters are all quirky and well written. I read a bit more of Selling Out which is not a very good book, I think I might have had to read the first in the series but it didn't make it clear on the back that it was a continuation, its overly complicated, but I will persevere I think I am going to go and I either buy it or get it from the library thanks guys! I finished Copycat by Erica Spindler and enjoyed it so much I went straight on to the next one, Breakneck Glad that it is good. I have so many of hers but I don't have Copycat and thats the first one right? I have to find that somewhere. I am half way through 'Passing Strange' by Daniel Waters The amount of zombie books I have read, I really think I can cope with zombies Is it good? Have you read this book? Dead City - Joe Mckinny. "Battered by five cataclysmic hurricanes in three weeks, the Texas Gulf Coast and half of the Lone Star State is reeling from the worst devastation in history. Thousands are dead or dying - but the worst is only beginning. Amid the wreckage, something unimaginable is happening: a deadly virus has broken out, returning the dead to life - with an insatiable hunger for human flesh...Within hours, the plague has spread all over Texas. San Antonio police officer Eddie Hudson finds his city overrun by a voracious army of the living dead. Along with a small group of survivors, Eddie must fight off the savage horde in a race to save his family...There's no place to run. No place to hide. The Zombie horde is growing as the virus runs rampant. Eddie knows he has to find a way to destroy these walking horrors...but he doesn't know the price he will have to pay." My OH bought this for me as a present, to remember him by (long story!) but it seems right down my street. I haven't read it yet but I have it on my TBR pile. YOu might like it.
frankie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I got my package in the mail this afternoon, containing: Jeff Lindsay: Dearly Devoted Dexter I now have all the Dexter books except the one that was released just recently. But I haven't read any of them yet. Nice! When do you think you'll be starting the first Dexter novel? I finished Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism and started reading Molly Moon Stops the World. I also went to a charity shop and bought the following: David Lodge: The Art of Fiction Anita Diamant: The Red Tent (a Rory Gilmore book) Mary Alice Monroe: The Book Club
Nollaig Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Recieved 'The Baker Street Phantom' by Fabrice Bourland in the post today. It has a stunning cover! It's made to look like an old 1930's pocket suspense novel, and the edges are printed with creases and fading to make it look old! Really stunning little book. Other than that, my reading has been terrible, so I'm relying on the necessity of finishing review books to get me back into reading my own books again.
Guest Eliza1 Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I'm about 10 chapters into the thousand autumns of Jacob De Zoet. I love it so far, it's really funny

Yes, I noticed that one today - it's certainly got an eye-catching cover. I'm toying with the idea of adding it to my collection of I'll-get-round-to-reading-these-one-days, so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts when you've read it.
lexiepiper Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) I finished Fear The Worst this afternoon and I rather enjoyed it The first two books of the Hunger Games trilogy came today too and I'm so tempted to start them, but I'm going to try and wait 2 weeks until the final one is released so I can read them all together So instead I'm reading Eve Edwards - The Other Countess. Edited August 9, 2010 by lexiepiper
TheNinthWord Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I went to a local park this afternoon and spent an enjoyable half an hour reading Soul Music. I also read a little more of The Two Towers.

pickle Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I read a bit more of my overly complicated book Selling Out...I think..see even the name of the book hasn't stuck but I want to persevere to the end. I am going to start Londons Dead - a guided tour of the Capitals dead which looks like a fascinating tour of the cemeteries of London (morbid but fascinating)
Nollaig Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I picked up The Baker Street Phantom just to have a read of the first few pages... and now am halfway through it. Very easy to read.

bunnybooks Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Finished reading The girl now leaving by Betty Burton and started reading Haunted by James Herbert, from the library. Also picked up The lost memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James as I couldnt resist good old library. Edited August 9, 2010 by bunnybooks
chesilbeach Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I started The Dog Who Came In From The Cold by Alexander McCall Smith - the second Corduroy Mansions books. A nice easy read, while I keep going with the occasional short story from The Secret Lives of People In Love by Simon Van Booy mixed in.
bookworm44 Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Lucky you!! I hope you enjoy it, It does take over 200 pages for it to really start getting amazing, but once you get past that point you won't turn back. Happy reading!!! Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I get around to reading it. =) I’m still reading The Prince of Tides. So far it’s just ok.
Kylie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Nice! When do you think you'll be starting the first Dexter novel? Hard to say. I have so many books to read and I definitely want to get started on the Dexter series, but I'm in the middle of so many other series that I feel like I should finish a few of those first.
Raven Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 If somebody finds my reading mojo, could they please let me have it back? (It's small and blue and answers to the name Fang ).
Kylie Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 If somebody finds my reading mojo, could they please let me have it back? (It's small and blue and answers to the name Fang ). Uh oh. That was your mojo? It was staring at my nose with such a evil glint in its eye that I got frightened and I...well...never mind. I'll see what I can do.
vesolka Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I was reading Shana Galen's book until 2 this morning. I needed a romance shot! Can't help myself
lopeanha Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I started On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan on sunday at stopped reading after 12 pages or so. I found it quite annoying and I'm not sure if I'll pick it up again saomeday.
catwoman Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I read a bit more of my overly complicated book Selling Out...I think..see even the name of the book hasn't stuck but I want to persevere to the end.

That would be something I would like to read.
