AbielleRose Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I started reading Four to Score by Janet Evanovich today. Love the series and needed a familliar book to just pop into for a bit.
dawnbirduk Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) I just come back from a coffee morning and the Library, I wanted to be well stocked up as I am on holiday next week. At the coffee morning didn't see anything that cried out to me, so came away empty handed. Then I headed to the Library expecting to have a nice quiet browse, and was surrounded by Junior School Children, some of who are my brownies who I will see tonight. At the Library I was disappointed as I didn't get anything off my TBR List however I did get the following - Murder and the Golden Goblet by Amy Myers An unhallowed grave by Kate Ellis The old contemptibles by Martha Grimes A vengeful longing by R N Morris Death and the Cornish Fiddler by Deryn Lake In a dry season by Peter Robinson The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths The Mesmerists Apprentice by L M Jackson Pretty pleased with my selection, some great titles, just hope the content matches up to the promise.

Kidsmum Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Sod, I only know one Stranglers song but I love it lots! Golden Brown I finished the 8th Sookie book and have finally decided to tackle the behemoth aka Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I'm looking forward to it! I loved Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Peacefield, hope you enjoy it too, don't be put off by the size once you get into it it's hard to put down I'm still reading When God was a Rabbit, I'm enjoying it but it seems to be taking me a long time to get through it. Anyway football on the TV tonight so I should get through a big chunk of it. I also got a couple of books from Amazon that I ordered Cross Stitch Diana Gabaldon Dragonfly in Amber Diana Gabaldon
chesilbeach Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I'm almost finished Prophecy: Child of Light by F. E. Heaton which I've thoroughly enjoyed so far (thanks, Charm!)
SueK Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I just come back from a coffee morning and the Library, I wanted to be well stocked up as I am on holiday next week.

Good haul Dawnbirduk. I can personally vouch for A Vengeful Longing and The Mesmerists Apprentice. Both good thrillers.
lauraloves Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Teacher Teacher - by Jack Sheffield arrived today.
sod Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Sod, I only know one Stranglers song but I love it lots! Golden Brown I finished the 8th Sookie book and have finally decided to tackle the behemoth aka Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I'm looking forward to it! Hi Peacefield you most probably know more Stranglers songs without realising it, also if you pop Golden Brown into the search bar on you tube there is a really good jazzed up version.
chesilbeach Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Started Simon Van Booy's first novel Everything Beautiful Began After. I've read his short story collections before, and the writing is exquisite. I'm about a third of the way through the novel so far, and it's just as beguiling.
Charm Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm almost finished Prophecy: Child of Light by F. E. Heaton which I've thoroughly enjoyed so far (thanks, Charm!) Phew! Glad to hear it I finished Moon Called then moved on to Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs and am thoroughly enjoying them too (thanks, Chesil and pickle!) Dontcha just love BCF recommendations
Roland Butter Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Just started Born Brilliant by Christopher Stevens, a biography of the great Kenneth Williams.
whitegold Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Recently Finished Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. Quick read, I quite enjoyed it!
busy91 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins. Started it yesterday.
Karsa Orlong Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Finished The Woodcutter by Reginald Hill - excellent thriller.
Jade32 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I received Charlotte Gray- Sebatian Faulks today
lauraloves Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Does sorting through my 500 odd new books count as my book activity hehe?
bobblybear Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Started The Tenderness Of Wolves by Stef Penney this morning. Hope you are enjoying it. I read it last year, and though it was great. I'm struggling through The Gunslinger at the moment. I'm finding it so difficult, and I'm amazed I managed to read it in the past. I remember it being difficult, but not quite so difficult. It's only the strength of the rest of the series that is keeping me reading it.
Weave Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After by Steve Hockensmith which I really enjoyed Dark Matter ~ A Ghost Story by Michelle Paver Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
chaliepud Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Haven't had time to read much this week but will try and squeeze in half an hour of "The Shadow of the Wind" before falling asleep tonight..
ladymacbeth Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I received Charlotte Gray- Sebatian Faulks today Oooh coincidentally I am about 200 pages into this and enjoying it. I keep drifting off to sleep while reading but might be to do with being 9 months pregnant lol.
pickle Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Reading through some of the freebies I picked up on Amazon the other day, one dreadful one ok and one which I am part of the way through looks like its going to be pretty awful too, but you live and learn. I have read all of Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series and 2 of the Archangel ones the Archangel ones are not any where near as good as the others although the concept is fairly interesting, I just can't seem to like the characters enough. I am tryiong to wean myself of the paranormal's for a bit trying some fantasy but as you can see from above the freebies I have are not good enough, I might go back to crime for a bit (reading it that is not doing it )
Scarlette Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Continuing with Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, today. I started reading it a while ago, then abandoned it, but now I'm in the mood for creepy literature again.
chesilbeach Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Finished Everything Beautiful Began After this morning. Very moving.
fluffy1181 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Alan Titchmarsh's new novel The Haunting, I'm about 3 qaurters of the way through
Kylie Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Does sorting through my 500 odd new books count as my book activity hehe? I hope you're going to list them all for us! No book activity for me today. Well, I read a couple of pages of AHWoSG. I received Jasper Fforde's The Last Dragonslayer in the mail the other day.
