I am almost finished 'Eragon' and I have really enjoyed it so far, I am just frustrated with myself now because I can't seem to read it fast enough!

Currently reading:

 

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, but I need to make more of an effort reading it.

 

Stories we could tell by Tony Parsons.

 

I started 'A Place Called Here' by Cecelia Ahern yesterday morning and I finished it this morning. An enjoyable read.;)

I finished 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova, I really enjoyed it, I meant to say it was a re-read, still enjoyable.

 

The ex-wives's surivial guide was ok, very predictable though.

Finished 'Handbags and Halos' and it was not your usual chick literature book, there was a lot of depth to this book which I liked.

I just started reading 'Chocolat', I really like the style of Joanne Harris's style of writing, it could just be me but it so relaxed and care free. I have not seen the film, 'Chocolat', but I will renting it out real soon.

 

'Nocturnes' by John Connolly, is a assortment of different stories, so far so good.:readingtwo:

So far, so good with 'The Girls', I know its only February but this is the best book I have read so far this year, the way it is written, the story is just excellent and I am looking forward to sharing my review with you all.
