Lucybird Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Finished Flesh and Grass and started a re-read of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Pixie Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I really have not been doing much reading lately. Too much going on, too much stress.
Kylie Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 , Pixie. I'm glad to hear your mojo is returning, Catwoman! I finished reading Julia Rugg's Buried in Books yesterday. It was an excellent book to dip into, full of lovely bookish quotations. It now has quite a few post-its sticking out which are marking my favourite quotes. I'm now over halfway through Making the Cat Laugh by Lynne Truss but have made no progress whatsoever with my other two books. I guess I'm just concentrating on one at a time right now.
Jack Dawkins Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Finished Summer Knight:BK4 of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and I have now started Quake by Richard Laymon. Edited July 12, 2011 by Jack Dawkins
Karsa Orlong Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Started A Dance with Dragons on the tube this morning
lopeanha Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) read about 100 pages of Harry Potter and the goblet of fire last night, wonderful re-read Edited July 12, 2011 by lopeanha
Peacefield Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Managed about 60 pages so far of Kelley Armstrong's Haunted .
Knox Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Am now about 1/3 of the way through The Narrows and am finding it a bit slow.
chaliepud Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Two thirds of the way through The Radleys, there was a slow repetitive stretch in the middle but thankfully it's got past that, speeding along nicely now waiting for the next inevitable blood fest........
ladymacbeth Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Finished A Cavern of Black Ice by JV Jones. It had a really good ending which made up for the fact that I felt it was limping a bit in the last 200 pages. Started Generation Dead - not usually a zombie book fan but this looked interesting. I'm sure I have seen a good review of it somewhere. It's by Daniel Waters I think.
Inver Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I am going on holiday on Thursday and have just taken 3 books from the TBR shelf to pack The Spare Room ~ Helen Garner Return to the Olive Farm ~ Carol Drinkwater Notes from an Exhibition ~ Patrick Gale
chesilbeach Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Started The Death of King Arthur by Peter Ackroyd today. Enjoying immensely
chaliepud Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Weave. My copy of 'Forever' was dispatched today, seems to have been a long time coming.
chesilbeach Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I'm waiting for the Kindle version of Forever - up until yesterday it was £10.37, which was far too high for me, but I was hoping that on release day it would drop to a more sensible figure, however, now it says it's not currently available on Kindle but a release date of 12th July! Hope it doesn't take too long, as I can't wait to find out how the story ends. Enjoy your re-read of Shiver and Linger, Weave
Kazee Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I just finished the 2nd book of the "Belgariad" series. Great book in my opinion
SueK Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Finished My Enemy's Cradle last night and now reading Far to Go by Alison Pick.
Kylie Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 No book activity for me today. However, I did spend the entire day reading an essay over and over again.
Isandriena Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I am reading Flutter by Amanda Hocking. Really enjoying the series.
Pixie Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I finally finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. I guess it was okay. I really wasn't that focused on it. I'm going to try Mirror, Mirror by Gregory Maguire after I read a short story by Poe on my Kindle.
Chrissy Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I am reading Flutter by Amanda Hocking. Really enjoying the series. Have you read her Trylle trilogy, 'Switched', 'Torn' and 'Ascend'? I read them a while back, and really enjoyed them.
chaliepud Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Finally finished The Radleys by Matt Haig, thought the ending was brilliant, really thought it wasn't going to come together but it did! Have now started Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton.
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Am now about 1/3 of the way through The Narrows and am finding it a bit slow. I didn't like this one. It was probably my least favorite book from him well A Darkness more than Night is another weak one. I manage a few chapters of THE BLADE ITSELF. Which has led me to be around half way through the book, and I am now about to start Part Two. Horrah! I realised that I have my library book club on Thursday and I haven't read the book. Whoops. Hated Blad Itself. I thought it was very predictable and characters feels like their cardboard characters.
Ben Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Lots of book activity today. Firstly, the early hours of this morning I finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (the first in the Sookie Stackhouse series, as I'm sure many of you are full aware). Earlier this afternoon I purchased The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas and Miracle Cure by Harlan Coben. I've also started Living Dead In Dallas by Charlaine Harris and am about to log off and go finish it this evening. Most productive bookish day for a long time, it seems.
lopeanha Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I got a new book from bf last night: Rachel Vincent > My soul to save (Soulscreamers 2)
