bobblybear Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Got Stephen King's new one on my Kindle. Just have to finish The Picture of Dorian Gray; then I can get started on it.
SueK Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I'm reading quite a good book called Black Out by John Lawton but it's just taking me ages to finish - not the book's fault, just tooooooo darn busy!
Janet Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 I have received two books this week. High Spirits by Robertson Davies which is my Book Club book and Pollyanna by Eleanor H Porter, which Claire pointed out was first published in 1913 and therefore counts towards my Decades Challenge. I haven't read anything today, but I'm half way through Waiting by Ha Jin, which has been waiting on my 'to read' pile (see what I did there...?! ) for a couple of year. I'm really enjoying it. This one counts towards my Long-term World Challenge.
Abcinthia Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I went to the library today and got out: Shirley - Charlotte Brontë The Rendezvous and other stories - Daphne Du Maurier Sylvia - Bryce Courtenay

julie Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Bobblybear ! I am so jealous ! how'd you get the Stephen King book so quickly ? I ordered it last week and it isn't released yet,so I am waiting to get it .I think it is due to be released in another week or so .. I thought it sounded like quite an interesting subject and can't wait to see what type of spin he puts on it !
Sofia Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Did you enjoy Nickel and Dimed? I did....very eye opening on how people survive....or really don't

Hi Julie - I preordered it for my Kindle, and it was automatically downloaded the day of release. I'm only on the first few chapters but it's good so far.
Michelle Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Got Stephen King's new one on my Kindle. I've got the audio version from audible.. I've enjoyed the beginning.
julie Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Sounds great,Bobbly and Michelle -- I should have ordered it one of those ways-- Much faster . I ordered the book ,though since I ordered a couple books for my grandson for Christmas,so just added this book onto that same order .
chesilbeach Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Started The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies this morning. I only know it's set in WW2 so have no idea what to expect. Very good start though!
Sofia Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Started The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies this morning. I only know it's set in WW2 so have no idea what to expect. Very good start though! I have this as well and have contemplated starting it....do let me know how you like (or don't) it?
bobblybear Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I've got the audio version from audible.. I've enjoyed the beginning. The American (from Amazon.com) version for the Kindle comes with Audio/Video, which I can't quite figure out, as you can't watch videos on a Kindle.
Kell Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Went to the library with Xander this afternoon. He picked out a bunch of books for himself (he took the maximum of 10!) and I picked up the following for myself: Sarwat Chadda - Devil's Kiss (Devil's Kiss 1) Melissa Marr - Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely 1) Chris Riddell - Ottoline and the Yellow Cat (Ottoline 1) Chris Riddell - Ottoline Goes to School (Ottoline 2) Maria V Snyder - Fire Study (Study 3)
