Inver Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 At long last I can say.......finished The Island by Victoria Hislop and I enjoyed it.
Peacefield Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I ran to Half Price Books after work and picked up Old Rail Fence Corners by Lucy Leavenworth and Wilder Morris. It's a great reprinting of a book that was originally put out in 1914 and is a collection of tales told by Minnesota pioneers. I love this stuff!

chesilbeach Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Started Tell Me Everything by Sarah Salway today, and absolutely loving it so far - I'm definitely glad Michelle pointed me in her direction a while back, despite the fact that was for short stories, and I've only read her novels so far!
Chrissy Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 Started Tell Me Everything by Sarah Salway today, and absolutely loving it so far - I'm definitely glad Michelle pointed me in her direction a while back, despite the fact that was for short stories, and I've only read her novels so far! I've read and thoroughly enjoyed her short story collection 'Leading The Dance'. I keep meaning to get hold of more by her, so it's great to hear that I should! My mojo is OK, but I haven't read anything really in the past week / ten days. My reading mood is changeable, so until it settles on a book I will have to grin and bear it!

I've been trying to get hold of more of her books too, Chrissy, but only this one and Something Beginning With (both novels) are in print at the moment However, we do follow each other on twitter and she's told me that some of her books are being reprinted later this year - I'm hoping it will be some of her earlier books and even more hoping they'll be available on Kindle or iBooks!

JohnL Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 From the remnants of a Comic Relief booksale at work - £1.50 got me Icon - Frederick Forsyth The Janson Directive - Robert Ludlum Dan Brown - Deception Point John Connelly - Bad Men In the case ready for Summer and will be left in the Hotel foyer Fuerteventura when completed.

chesilbeach Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Finished Tell Me Everything today. Loved it. Feel I need to reduce my proper book TBR but am tempted by quite a few Kindle books, so not sure which will win out for my next read yet!
Habeebi Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I have started reading The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters for this new bookclub I'm going to On tuesday. I doubt I will get it finished but will have a good stab at it. I also started reading Memoirs of a Geisha over the weekend and I love it so far but think I need to concentrate on one at a time!
