angerball Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Yet another book I have to read. I bought it a few months ago, but kept setting it aside. One of these days, I'll get to it! Quote
Louiseog Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Back on my mojo! Mephisto Club Tess Gerritsen, great Quote
Louiseog Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Finished, greatg Percy Jackson and the Sea Monsters. Good again Quote
Louiseog Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 Enjoyed this but may stop the series now, think its more for reading to a small boy who likes heroes! Catherine Sampson Falling off Air which have had on tbr for years! Have linked to Amazon and think I agree more with the first review than the second! Quote
Louiseog Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 Stephanie Barron Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor A Jane Austen Mystery OK Elizabeth Chadwick Daughters of the Grail Quote
Louiseog Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 Which I loved, shades of Virgin Blue (Tracey Chevalier ) and Labyrinth Friday Night Knitting Club Kate Jacobs Quote
happyanddandy Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Which I loved, shades of Virgin Blue (Tracey Chevalier ) and Labyrinth Friday Night Knitting Club Kate Jacobs Is that a recommendation for knitters Louise? Quote
Louiseog Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 Is that a recommendation for knitters Louise? Could be as the world's worst its certainly making me think about it again]! Quote
Louiseog Posted November 22, 2007 Author Posted November 22, 2007 Here is the link. To blatantly steal a Librarything review, loved the book (or liked it certainly) made me realise that knitting was a lot more sophisticated than I thought but HATED the ending! Did not fit at all. What to read next....... I love this feeling Quote
Louiseog Posted November 24, 2007 Author Posted November 24, 2007 The House of Dust Paul Johnston. I really enjoy this series of books about Edinburgh in 2028, clever and thought provoking Quote
Louiseog Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 Good story but not quick! Sara Gruen Water for Elephants which I am loving Quote
Louiseog Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 I really enjoyed this, light but painted a picture of an age that was vivid and understandable. Fantasitc, I cried at the end. Quote
Louiseog Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 Fiona Walker something about Cheeks Quote
Louiseog Posted December 8, 2007 Author Posted December 8, 2007 Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryham Quote
Roland Butter Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I've just finished Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death. I'd be interested to know what you think, Louise. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I've just finished Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death. I'd be interested to know what you think, Louise. Wow I thought you were joking with that book title. I had to go and look it up! Quote
Roland Butter Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Good title, eh? It was the first of the Agatha Raisin series. Someone whose opinion I respect suggested these books and told me I wouldn't stop laughing. Quote
Louiseog Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 I do love this series, have read the first ten but tend to do it as light relief. Very easy to read and straightforward, except suddenly there are layers emerging! Prefer Simon Brett Fethering Mysteries which are in a similar vein Quote
Janet Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Prefer Simon Brett Fethering Mysteries which are in a similar vein I've read a couple of those - they were enjoyable. I've also read his 'Mrs Pargeter' books - not so good but an easy read - they were perfect for when my children required more attention than they do now! Quote
Louiseog Posted December 16, 2007 Author Posted December 16, 2007 I think Agatha Raisin is more like Mrs Pargeter. Susanna Gregory 'Blood on the Strand' second Thomas Chaloner story. I love her Matthew Bartholomew books set in Medieval Cambridge about a doctor, this is a similar theme in that it is set around a man who is a bit different to the norm but he is a spy in Restoration London. Listened to the first and wasn't that bothered so read this one, and am still a bit confused, lots of characters, very few of them from the first book and I found myself forgetting who they were! Having said that not much to think about, good story, goodies mainly win and its an interesting view of a period in history about which I know little of the social aspect. A Sunday in the pool in Kigali - Gil Courtemanche Quote
Angel Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 I blame you for the Matthew Bartholomew series!!! They are very good and I'm now looking out for them in the librar - a very good recommendation Louise!!! Quote
Louiseog Posted December 19, 2007 Author Posted December 19, 2007 I blame you for the Matthew Bartholomew series!!! They are very good and I'm now looking out for them in the librar - a very good recommendation Louise!!! Phew! I am really enjoying Sunday by the pool in Kigali. Not fun and very sad but thought provoking. My reading challenge for 2008 is to try and read these books. Have just started the list (alphabetically) will start a new 2008 log when it is (2008 that is). Quote
Louiseog Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 Sunday at the pool in Kigali was fantastic, will review but not before Christmas. Now Philippa Gregory, Wise Woman Quote
Angel Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Enjoy that one Louise! Whilst not her best - it still cuts a good read Quote
