LittleW Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've started a novel from James Patterson today, but I don't quite get in his style of writing, its a bit confus to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have to read someone's thesis all weekend, but this morning I managed to sneak in the last couple of dozen pages of Treasure Island. What an awesome book. It was exactly what I needed to read right now. I must have overdosed on reading non-fiction books or something, because I only seem to be in the mood for action/adventure stories at the moment. I'm sure I have lots my books on my TBR pile that will fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm a fair way into The Fellowship of the Ring, and enjoying it so far. Also in the post yesterday I got Priceless: The Hidden Psychology of Value, but I can't for the life of me remember ordering it. I've checked my Amazon orders - nada. I've checked Ebay, and my email account and I can't see anything where I have bought or won this book. The thing is, it's the kind of book I would read, and I think I recall reading about it, but I just don't know if that's because I've been thinking about it too much and wondering where I got it. I didn't get it from someone on this forum, did I? I'm soooo puzzled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Finished Out of Time which after a promising start, followed up with a middle that was too long, and a bit of an abrupt end. Started Wilma Tenderfoot and the Case of the Frozen Hearts, which although a kids book aimed at 8-12 years old, I am thoroughly enjoying and already half way through!

pickle Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I finished Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden - Changes yesterday so I am up to the latest one now which I am tempted to get I had forgotten how good this series was so thanks Karsa for reminding me. I also read one of my freebies on Amazon - Dead(ish) - Naomi Kramer I was tempted by the synopsis...suffice to say don't fall into my trap it was absolutely terrible. I am however tring another The Unicorn Crisis and its proving good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipread Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hey Pipread, I was thinking of you this morning - you must have heard my thoughts! You've read a few books of late then? Spooky Chrissy! I wondered what that whispering in my ear was, I thought I had tinnitus! Not much for 4 months is it? Although in my defence one book was a doorstep!

Nollaig Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I had a really nice book shopping day today, really happy about it. The books I bought were all books I've never heard of, which I picked up based on titles and covers. Beautiful covers, all of them. I rarely do this, but two of them were '€2.40 each and buy one get one free.' ....Four books for €4.80? Yes please! I also picked up one more book based on the cover and title, which was just €4. So I'm really happy! Oh, also, they're all hardbacks except the first in my list: I got: The Spooks Apprentice - Joseph Delaney The Midas Box - G. P. Taylor Selina Penaluna - Jan Page (This one I didn't really want, I just needed a second 'free' book, but it's got excellent reviews on Amazon so that's good!) Wormwood - also by G. P. Taylor If God Was A Rabbit - Sarah Winman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I finished reading Between the Sheets last night. It was one heck of a read, my wishlist is going to explode when I do the adding. I then started reading Ian Rankin's Hide & Seek, I need a quick, enjoyable fictional novel before I get into another memoir/biography/non-fiction book. Will probably finish Rankin today and can move on to A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobblybear Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I finished The Fellowship of the Ring (also watched the movie today), and will have a bit of a rest before I start The Two Towers.

chesilbeach Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Started and finished Bloodlines by Richelle Mead today, the first of a new spin-off series from her Vampire Academy books, and very enjoyable it was too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 just look for 'inventory' in the app market....keeps track of everything...I am loving it Thanks for getting me hooked, Sofia! I downloaded one of the free inventory apps and have been scanning ISBN numbers for the past hour or so. It's such a great tool! I'm on page 191 of Mockingjay now .

LittleW Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I finished Jack & Jill - James Patterson today, and I think, I wouldn't read anything from him again. It sounded like a normal crime mistery but turned out to become a big conspiration involving renegades from the CIA. I don't like THAT sort of novels.

Kylie Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have started reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. I'm about halfway through the long, but very entertaining, acknowledgements section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I decided to buy the app called Book Crawler and scanned 113 books in today. Thanks for suggesting the idea, Sofia!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Oh boy, I so want an app that can scan my books, but I don't have a smartphone or a camera on my iPad. It would save me so much time cataloguing my purchases from book fairs and what-not. I went shopping at lunch time and bought 6 books. Hey, it's been a while since I've bought anything, so I'm allowed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
