Are you enjoying The Mammoth Cheese Gyre, I still have it on loan from the library but have lacked reading time recently so haven't got round to reading it yet.

[Weave]

I finished 'The Mammoth Cheese', it was a really good read, I enjoyed it, it was a lovely story but at the same time, almost surreal.

Just getting into 'The Robber Bride' by Margaret Atwood, a bit off topic, but my concentration levels are not great at the moment, although reading does help.

 

I really enjoy Margaret Atwood's style of writing, it is incredibly straightforward and clear, she has something to say and she says it.

I've only read one Atwood...The Handmaiden's Tale, and I was not keen on it, but Robber is in my stack, and I'll read it down the road.

I got my copy of 'An Open Vein' by J.M. Warwick along with a pen, I thank you kindly!!!

 

I bought 'The Blind Assassin' by Margaret Atwood, I have to admit, its a bit of a Margaret Atwood fest in my TBR pile.

[Weave]

Really enjoying 'This Book Will Save Your Life', I left 'The Robber Bride' in my mum's house, will collect it tomorrow.

 

[Weave]

I finished 'This Book Will Save Your Life' by A.M. Homes

I really enjoyed it Judy, I liked how it ended too, very hopeful x

[Liz]

I think I'll give This Book... a try - sounds to be good.

Trouble is, I haven't really been getting much reading done - I've got several plays and a book of poetry to read for English Lit. and revision for the other subjects to do, so books have been placed second for a little while.

And there's so many I want to read.

[Weave]

I finished 'The Robber Bride' by Margaret Atwood, it was a brilliant read, review soon to follow.

[Polka Dot Rock]

Glad you enjoyed it Paula It's a cracker isn't it?

 

I like how Margaret Atwood seems to be a deceptively 'cuddly' writer, yet her books are actually very dark!
