Charm Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I finished Kiss Of Life by Daniel Waters yesterday and then started Passing Strange by the same author.
bobblybear Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Reading a bit more of The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. Also downloaded Jeffery Archer's Kane and Abel for my Kindle. It is free for one day on Amazon.
frankie Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Just starting "Bel Canto" by Ann Patchett... Anyone read this? Me! And I loved it! How's it going so far, any good, or are you having problems with it? I got my copy of The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas in the mail today, happy happy happy! I'm still reading Emotional Geology, and have also started reading The Secret Language of Eating Disorders which has been thoroughly interesting.
pickle Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 My two books from Amazon arrived today, I have Kelley Armstrong's The Gathering and Andre Camilleri's The Wings of the Sphinx
Raven Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Picked up a copy of Mike Gayle's latest, The Importance of Being a Bachelor.

chaliepud Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Was going to treat myself to a new book in Waterstones but ran out of time (I need at least half an hour for browsing there!) Sadly ran out of time so consoled myself by popping into our local hospice charity shop, what a good move! Came home with - Life of Pi - Yann Martel PS I Love You - Cecelia Ahern A Week in December - Sebastian Faulkes High Lord (third in Black Magician trilogy) - Trudi Canavan Lovers and Newcomers - Rosie Thomas Untold Stories - Alan Bennett All for the grand total of £6.50 - BARGAIN!!! Off to bed now to finish the first book in the Black Magician trilogy!
chesilbeach Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Started Naked In Knightsbridge by Nicky Schmidt today. It's okay, but the main characters predicament is a bit unbelievable and is starting to irritate me, but I do want to find out where the author takes it, so will persevere for now.
Raven Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hehe. I don't think Raven has noticed yet. Noticed what? I have no idea what you are talking about, as I've never read The Little Prince.
Kylie Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Noticed what? I have no idea what you are talking about, as I've never read The Little Prince. The angle tears that Frankie mentioned are related to something you wrote in the 'What am I drinking now' thread. It's nice to see you bought a book. I don't see that very often!

Punkafoo Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Last time I was on here I was reading Afterlife by Claudia Gray. I finished that book at the start of this month. So I started reading The Truth About Melody Browne by Lisa Jewell, got free from cosmopolitan magazine. So I thought I'll read it, plus I wanted a change from the fantasy books.
Raven Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 It's nice to see you bought a book. Yes, they can be purchased individually!
Pixie Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Yes, they can be purchased individually! I hope you don't mind that I am laughing at you, Kylie. I only laugh because what Raven said could also apply to me.
frankie Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I hope you don't mind that I am laughing at you, Kylie. I only laugh because what Raven said could also apply to me. Kylie, I'm worried that Pixie might be going over to the dark side... Somebody should do something before she joins Raven's ranks!
AbielleRose Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Kylie, I'm worried that Pixie might be going over to the dark side... Somebody should do something before she joins Raven's ranks! Y'all are being so mischevious today! Its very amusing... I think I'm going to make an another attempt to read Watchmen today.
bobblybear Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Still reading The Lacuna. It's going ok, but just a bit difficult to read.
SueK Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Well, plans to read The Small Hand and We all ran into the Sunlight have been thwarted as I have got addicted to Agatha Raisin. I read the first one on holiday and now have downloaded the next few in the series. They are very witty and great fun. The Small Hand is only 164 pages long so will read that in between the Agatha books. I've also got to finish The German Boy in the next week or so for reviewing. What I need is a bit of this
Jessi Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I picked up the late Senator Edward Kennedys memoirs True Compass a few days ago. I am around 100 pages in and am so far finding it entertaining as well as moving.
chesilbeach Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Just downloaded The Group by Mary McCarthy for the Rory Gilmore read this month, and also couldn't resist the new book in the Morganville Vampire series, Bite Club.
VanessaL Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I am now reading Karen Rose 'Have you seen her?, it seems a good book so far
frankie Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Had my book 'date' today, got rid of a couple of books and got a copy of Mitä onni on by Petri Tamminen. Now I think I'm gonna head to bed and read a little before going to sleep.
Cookie Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I started and finished Dead Reckoning today, it was nice to have my Sookie fix. I will be picking up The Ancient Curse by Valerio Massimo Manfedi again as I dropped it like a hot stone when my Amazon arrived!
Pixie Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Today I purchased/dowloaded: The Short Stories of Edgar Allen Poe The Works of Joseph Conrad Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett House of Silence by Linda Gillard Household Tales by the Brothers Grimm Dracula by Bram Stoker Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson The Complete Charles Dickens Strange Wine by Harlan Ellison

Waits Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I finished reading "The Good Guy" by Dean Koontz earlier this evening. It's my first Dean Koontz book in about 3 or 4 years so it's been good to get back to them...really enjoyed this one.
