Angel Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 The only way to get more books at the moment is through Green Metropolis, a Tesco's special offer or buy presents for others through Amazon and 'make it up' to the £15 for free delivery Quote
Angel Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 Losing You was a good read. I'd forgotten how good Nicci French was. Moving onto The Memory Palace by Christie Dickason Quote
Louiseog Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Losing You was a good read. I'd forgotten how good Nicci French was. Moving onto The Memory Palace by Christie Dickason I enjoyed the Firemaster's Mistress by Christie Dickason Quote
Angel Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 Although I'm enjoying The Memory Palace, haven't done much reading as I've been exhausted. Moving a ward upstairs and setting up a new one is exhausting work! Quote
Angel Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Finally finished The Memory Palace. Not too bad, prefer the Firemaster's Mistress! Reading The Dream of Scipio by Iain Pears Quote
Angel Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 Finished The Dream of Scipio - found it a bit hard going in places probably 'cos I'm so tired at the moment! Now for a much lighter, no thinking read, The Lilac Bus by Maeve Binchy Quote
happyanddandy Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Read Lilac Bus a long time ago and can't remember a lot about it - is it different people's stories who have moved to Dublin? Quote
Angel Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 I like the different stories don't you They were fascinating - despite my aversion to war stories, I found myself wanting to know about Julien. I had correctly guessed the inevitable outcome. It was a well written novel - just wish I was less tired to appreciate it more/ H&D wrote Read Lilac Bus a long time ago and can't remember a lot about it - is it different people's stories who have moved to Dublin? I've only just started it (50 pages in) but that does seem the basic plotline. At least I won't have to think about it!!! Quote
Angel Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Started a book by Jean Plaidy - The Revolt of the Eagles Quote
Kell Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Started a book by Jean Plaidy - The Revolt of the Eagles I completely miss-read that as "Revolting Eagles" Sorry - hope you enjoy it! I have a couple of Jean Plaidy books on my own TBR mountain... Quote
Angel Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Kell!! I was in my element today.Went to the library and there on the shelf, brand new and unread 3 out of 4 Plantagenate books by Jean Plaidy . Me happy girl!!!!!!!!! Quote
Angel Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 Finished The Revolt of the Eaglets. Really enjoyed it - true classic Plaidy Now reading Our Lady of the Forest by David Guterson Quote
Angel Posted August 18, 2007 Author Posted August 18, 2007 On holiday I read - Our Lady of the Forest (didn't get very far before I left) James Herbert - The Secret of Crikley Hall Jean Plaidy - The Heart of the Lion and started James Mc Gee - Ratcatcher Quote
Angel Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 Now reading The Prince of Darkness by Jean Plaidy Quote
Angel Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 Reading The Prince of Darkness made me realise how little I knew about King John. I certainly didn't realise what a nasty piece of work he was. In fact this plantagenate series by Jean Plaidy was very readable and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just need to get the first book in the series from the library. Started The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell &Dustin Thomason Quote
Angel Posted August 29, 2007 Author Posted August 29, 2007 Although the Ruke of Four was inspired by the Da Vinci code, quite difficult to get into. Ending seemed to drag on a bit Now reading Catch Me Wnen I Fall by Nicci French Quote

History in the Middle Ages that most people use to research was recorded by the church and PJ did not treat the church very well! Quote
Kell Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Although the Ruke of Four was inspired by the Da Vinci code, quite difficult to get into. Ending seemed to drag on a bit.I found this one very stilted - possibly the result of two writers attempting to work together - the story felt quite fragmented to me too. I read it almost 2 years ago now and still have never bothered to look for anything else by these authors. You can see my review HERE. Quote
Angel Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Louise - believe me my knowledge of that era is very limited indeed - we did not cover it at all. Therefore any gleaned from JP is an improvement . My history teacher thought that Greek mythology was more important for nearly 2 yrs - the school was horrifed when they found out Kell. this book really did nothing for me at all - I also will not be seeking out either author Quote
Louiseog Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 There is a great easy read guide to British Kings and Queens (actually maybe English) called 'Blood Bones and 'persons of dubious parentage'' which could fill in some gaps. (sorry about the rude word) Quote
Angel Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 I've managed to fill most of the gaps over the years - mainly due to my own interest, so much so that Tiger often grills me about many of our past monarchs, the dates they reigned and what events some of them are famous for . I may look out for that one though - thanks Quote
Angel Posted September 4, 2007 Author Posted September 4, 2007 Now moved onto Lord Robert by Jean Plaidy - very good so far. A reread from many years ago Quote
Maureen Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Started The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell &Dustin Thomason I hated this book! Did you finish it Angel? Quote
Angel Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 I did - but I nearly gave up a couple of times!! Quote
