Kylie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Glad to hear you're enjoying Grave Sight, Whitegold. I've had that on my TBR pile for a little while, but I'm barely keeping up with the Sookie Stackhouse books at the moment. Speaking of which, I've read a bit of From Dead to Worse today, and also some of Shakespeare by Bill Bryson. Hopefully I'll have some time to knuckle down and read this weekend. I just bought an iPad today, which I'm really excited about. I can't wait to put my books on it.
SueK Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Finally finished The Siege by Helen Dunmore last night - great book and will review it later on. I'm now starting on the sequel - The Betrayal.
Kidsmum Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Finished Living Dead in Dallas last night which I enjoyed & decided to make a start on the Millenium Trilogy so I'm now about 50 pages into The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.
Weave Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I'm halfway through 'Desires of the Dead' by Kim Derting
chesilbeach Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Halfway through Foreign Bodies - nothing has happened so far, and I'm only keeping going for my book group, although need to finish to find out if anything does actually happen by the end! Also bought The Postmistress by Sarah Blake which is our other book for this month, and a weekend indulgence for me, the fifth book in The Immortals series by Alyson Noël, Night Star.

pipread Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I started The Man From Beijing - Henning Mankell It was highly recommended and a hundred pages in I can see why!
frankie Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 today I recieved in the post, Marley and Me - John Grogan Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad (thanks frankie ) Hope you enjoy Marley & Me Laura but have plenty of tissues on hand when you read it You're welcome Laura And I agree, tissues are needed. Also because you might be laughing so hard you'll be sheading some tears I'm hoping to finish Hissillä neljänteen kerrokseen today, then I might go with another Maria Gripe novel.
Weave Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I'm halfway through 'Desires of the Dead' by Kim Derting I'm almost finished 'Desires of the Dead' by Kim Derting.
Chrissy Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 I finished 'One Of Our Thursdays Is Missing'. As ingenious and detailed as ever, Mr Fforde has clearly continued to drink the clever juice. Although I really did enjoy reading this latest installment of the Thursday Next series, it did feel a tad separate from the previous books.
Peacefield Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) I managed a whopping 6 pages of my Bradley book last night before falling asleep, wow! After work yesterday I stopped by the Border's that's closing and picked up a copy of Nightlight for myself. It's a parody of Twilight put out by Harvard Lampoon and is hilarious. Last week the book was 30% off but knowing the price would come down further I hid it behind a zombie Christmas book . Yesterday when I went back it was still there and 40% off! Go me .

chesilbeach Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Read The Immortals: Night Star today. This series has definitely picked up since the first book, which I was a bit ambivalent over, but I liked this one, but I'm quite glad to find out the next book will be the last in the series. I do like to know the authors have a definite end in sight!
lauraloves Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I went to the bookshop today and brought, The Stonehenge Legacy - Sam Christie As long as its pink, the sexual politics of taste - Penny Sparke Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain Caroline - Stephen King A Series of Unfortunate Events - The Reptile Room - Lemony Snicket all for £5
Charm Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I haven't been reading just as much lately, although I did finish Scream For Me by Karen Rose and have started Kill For Me since.
bobblybear Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Caroline - Stephen King Do you mean Carrie? I've not heard of Caroline, and Amazon reveals nothing. I purchased The Help by Kathryn Stockett today, after hearing so many rave reviews. I paid a bit more than I wanted to for the Kindle version, but it sounds so good that I just have to read it. I'm also still reading Ubik by Philip K Dick, which is finally coming together in my head.
lauraloves Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Do you mean Carrie? I've not heard of Caroline, and Amazon reveals nothing. ah typo! thanks for pointing that out , would never have noticed its meant to read Christine!
bobblybear Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 ah typo! thanks for pointing that out , would never have noticed its meant to read Christine! You had me excited for a while there. I thought it was some rare book I hadn't heard of.
Kylie Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Last week the book was 30% off but knowing the price would come down further I hid it behind a zombie Christmas book . Yesterday when I went back it was still there and 40% off! Go me . Hahaha! I love it! You're awesome, Peace; a woman after my own heart. I haven't had much book activity all weekend, unfortunately; I've been completely absorbed in my new iPad. I did, however, lend my Mum a new stack of books. Hopefully I can wean myself of my iPad long enough to do a little reading this afternoon.
frankie Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I started reading Charles Bukowski's Ham on Rye yesterday and it's been really good, I kept reading and reading in bed last night, I only have about 20 pages left
VanessaL Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 As usual Nora Roberts, 'Waiting for Nick' I know my reading is so limited at the moment with one author, but I am enjoying her books so much.
chesilbeach Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Have lined up The Postmistress by Sarah Blake to be my next read. Need to finish in time for book group meeting this week!
catwoman Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Over half way through Lord of the Flies. Fantastic, I just love this book
Lucybird Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Finished Our Tragic Universe- Scarlett Thomas yesterday. Started Frankenstien- Mary Shelly on my I-pod today but not sure if I will continue, was just I had nothing else to read.
whitegold Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Finished Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris and loved it! It was an easy quick read. It flowed better than the Sookie Stackhouse books and made it difficult to put the book down! I'll have to continue with the series
