Kylie Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Today I read a good chunk of Mr Chartwell and am now over halfway through. I've also read more of Buried in Books.
Peacefield Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I finished Relic last night. I don't know what came over me, but I couldn't stop reading and then when I got close I was convinced I had to finish . I believe I'll start The Hunger Games next, but I'll let that sit in my brain today (along with my review of Relic) and see tonight if it's truly what I'm in the mood for.
lopeanha Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I started The chosen one by Carol Lynch Williams yesrtday.
lauraloves Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I finished The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring and I have started The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. Also, The Day of the Triffids arrived today, but I want to hold off reading this until I've read all of the LOTR books!
Sofia Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I decided to put The History of the Siege of Lisbon aside for a bit....going to read The Amityville Horror
pipread Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I'm reading and enjoying Gone With The Wind but I feel as though I've been reading it for ages and I'm still only a little over a quarter of the way through it!
Peacefield Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 ...going to read The Amityville Horror Excellent book, Sofia! I decided to start The Hunger Games tonight.
Sofia Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Excellent book, Sofia! was it very scary? I'm kinda hoping it is
Peacefield Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 was it very scary? I'm kinda hoping it is I thought it was very scary, but I'm more easily scared than others! I couldn't read it at night though, that's how creepy it was.
Kylie Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I decided to start The Hunger Games tonight. Woohoo! You won't be sorry.
Peacefield Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Woohoo! You won't be sorry. Can't wait, Kylie! I've heard only good things about it .
Weave Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) You will love 'The Hunger Games' peace, can't wait to hear what you think. I'm almost finished 'Let the Right One in' by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Edited June 23, 2011 by Weave
frankie Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I finally finished reading The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen yesterday, then started reading Nick Hornby's Slam which is going pretty great so far, especially when considering I'm definitely not into the whole skating scene.
SueK Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I'm still reading The One from the Other by Philip Kerr. It's good but I don't seem to have enough reading time at the moment. I want to finish it by the weekend though as I'm orf to sunny France next week and want to be paper free - the kindle is loaded up and packed of course. Edited June 23, 2011 by SueK
Chrissy Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I am really enjoying my slow read of 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. It is a wonderful and intriguing read that is keeping my reading mojo settled and happy. By not racing through it as I am tempted to do, also means I am getting more pithy juice from the story.
VanessaL Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Going to start reading today Nora Roberts 'Dream Makers'
Guest JellyBeans91 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I am reading City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. One one was amazing, 2nd one, not so much, hopefully the 3rd one will be an improvement of the 2nd one.
Sofia Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I thought it was very scary, but I'm more easily scared than others! I couldn't read it at night though, that's how creepy it was. that's when I do my best reading....something put me off this book before, can't remember what it was....am only a few pages in, but so far so good
The Old Man of Storr Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hi , new member . I am reading Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernieres just now , after buying it years ago and being put off after the first few pages .
lauraloves Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I've been book buying again, came out of the shop with 6 (I think!) new books I will post what they are over in my reading thread in a bit
chesilbeach Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Started A Handful of Honey by Annie Hawes, but the text is tiny so the 400+ pages might take me a while! Only managed about 30 pages at lunchtime. Good 30 pages though Edited June 23, 2011 by chesilbeach
Knox Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I'm still reading 'The Redbreast' am now about 1/3 of the way through it and am finding it hard to keep up with whats going on between the 2 time zones. It's a bit like reading 2 books at once. But am sticking with it.
Lucybird Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Am going quite slowly with The Piano Tuner but it seems to be picking up now I'm past the 100 page mark Have also started reading Pooh and the Psychologists Hi , new member . I am reading Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernieres just now , after buying it years ago and being put off after the first few pages . I still have it on my shelves after reading a good third of it a few years ago and just not having the stamina to continue. Hope you get on better with it.
The Old Man of Storr Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hi , Lucybird . I'm about halfway now . It was his South American trilogy that introduced me to LdB and I thought they were excellent . Do persevere with Birds Without Wings , if nothing else it's a good history lesson !
Kylie Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I finished Mr Chartwell by Rebecca Hunt last night and read another 20 pages of Buried in Books. I received in the mail I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and the wonderful Poppyshake very kindly sent me a copy of Mrs Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson. Thanks Poppyshake! This morning I started reading Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. I've had this one on my TBR pile for years so I'm glad to finally be reading it.
