whitegold Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Went to the cottage this weekend and finished Dead in the Family Also started and made it halfway through Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. Loving it! He's definitely my favorite author!
chesilbeach Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Just had a bit of a cull of my TBR list. I've got books that have been there for over 2 years, that I don't want to read any more. Most of them were impulse charity shop buys, so I don't feel too guilty about returning them into the charity shop loop without reading. So 19 books less to be read, plus a bunch of others I've read and don't want to keep. My bookshelves are still spilling over though
Kylie Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I've read about 70 pages of Howl's Moving Castle and about 50 of Lucky Jim.
frankie Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Hurray!!! I just received the latest Dexter book in the mail It arrived as a total surprise, I thought the book wasn't due for another month! Yaaaaayyyyy Delicious, should I say??
Kate Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I just finished Dear John Is it good? I've been trying to read Regency Buck by Georgette Heyer but I'm finding it boring, does it get better?
Coffin Nail Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Finished Mephisto Club, really enjoyed it. A girl at work has insisted I read one of her recommendations, Kathy Reichs-Deja Dead. I can't say I'm over keen but I'll give it a whirl.
AbielleRose Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 No reading yesterday or today (so far) but I did manage to buy another 3 books last night. There should be some sort of ban on online bookstores for people like me.
pontalba Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Managed a few more pages in Restless by Boyd last night, but fell asleep. Phooey. Stopped at one of our local libraries and bought The Difference Between Woman and Men by Bret Lott...it's a collection of stories. The Summons and The Pelican Brief by John Grisham All hardbacks for 2.25 USD
