bobblybear Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I finished Remarkable Creatures last night. I'm toying with the idea of reading Lord of the Rings, but I'm kind of intimidated by it.
lauraloves Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I finished Airs and Graces by Erica James last night, read this one in a day and a half! I started Young Wives Tales - Adele Parks this morning!
Karsa Orlong Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Got to 51% of the way through The Hanging Shed last night.
Knox Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Finished 'The coroner' by M.R. Hall last night and have today started the first Rebus book 'knots & crosses' by Ian Rankin.
Inver Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Great read, just finished 'Perfect Match' ~ Jodi Picoult. Next read is going to be 'Blackbird House' ~ Alice Hoffman (at least I don't think I have read it, although does sound familiar)
chesilbeach Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Half way through White Cat, and I'm liking it so far. Resistance was futile today and the lure of amazon has delivered two more books to my Kindle: Something Borrowed by Paul Magrs (second in the Brenda and Effie series) A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison (fifth in the Hollows series)

bobblybear Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Have started The Lord of the Rings and I'm loving it so far.
KindleWorm Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Finished the Girl on the Swing by Ali Cooper and really loved it. Started a mammoth read by Patrick Rothfuss called The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Book 1
Lucybird Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Have been reading Monica Ali's In the Kitchen all weekend, not that impressed but interested enough to keep going.
Charm Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Picked up my book today in an attempt to bring back my mojo (The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen), before I knew it, I was up to page 300! Yipee
LittleW Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Great, Charm! Never read that much on one day! I started For the Sake of Elena from Elisabeth George
Kylie Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I have been struggling with Reading Lolita in Tehran, and my other two books (The Noonday Demon and The Master and Margarita) have been languishing for weeks, so I have decided to abandon all three. Prior to this year I had never abandoned a book before, and now I've abandoned four. It's wreacking havoc with my reading lists and spreadsheets because there are gaps and odd colours all over the place. I hate leaving things incomplete in this way, but I know it's for the best. I intend to finish all four books eventually, but my reading mojo just isn't up to them right now. For a few days I've been craving a rollicking good adventure story, so I've gone with Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, and it's definitely hitting the spot so far.
Karsa Orlong Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 For a few days I've been craving a rollicking good adventure story, so I've gone with Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, and it's definitely hitting the spot so far. A real classic I finished The Hanging Shed. It was okay, a bit like a Scottish version of Jack Reacher, but I got fed up with things being described as 'wee' or characters saying "ah ken, ah ken" Now onto the second Dresden Files book, Fool Moon.
Charm Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Great, Charm! Never read that much on one day! Thanks LittleW! I'm really into it now and almost finished Hope you're enjoying For the Sake of Elena
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Finished the Girl on the Swing by Ali Cooper and really loved it. Started a mammoth read by Patrick Rothfuss called The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Book 1 I started The Name of The Wind but didn't have time to finish it before I had to return it. I wanna start that up again as it was starting to get good.
green Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I've only got a dozen pages of Susan Hill's Victorian ghost story,'The Mist In The Mirror' left to read,and will finish it tonight,and expecting a great ending!
KindleWorm Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I started The Name of The Wind but didn't have time to finish it before I had to return it. I wanna start that up again as it was starting to get good. So far I am enjoying it - especially the style of writing...
