Abcinthia Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I just finished The Confession of Katherine Howard. I am now about to start The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. My first Agatha Christie novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I am now about to start The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. My first Agatha Christie novel. Ooo, this is a good one to start with! I have just finished Sebastian Fitzek's 'Splinter'. As twisty turny as 'Therapy', but with a somewhat more disconcerting feel to it. I'm not sure exactly what I thought of it, although I can say that I'm glad I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks Chrissy, I'll push it a little further up the wish list! I would send you my copy - but I kindled it. Sowwy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I would send you my copy - but I kindled it. Sowwy. That's a sweet thought, thanks. There's a good chance I'm going to get a Kindle for my birthday, so maybe I'll download it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruska Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Finished Black Butterfly by Mark Gatiss last night. A really fun read and quite a page turner! Continuing with: Horse Sense for People - Monty Roberts John Jasper's Secret - struggled through the first chapter, and I hope it picks up The Scapegoat - Daphne Du Maurier Born To Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Despite being really busy decorating I've still managed to keep up with my reading in the evenings & I've only got just over 100 pages to go in The Plains of Passage Jean M Auel although I've enjoyed it I'm looking forward to reading something different as it's a bit of a doorstopper.

Ruth Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Less than 100 pages of Madame Bovary, and I'd say it's....okay. Meh! Not awful, not brilliant. Have had a few bargains from charity shops this week: Bogart by A M Sperber (this has been on my wishlist for ages, and I was lucky to get it for 95p, and in good condition too). Last Dance With Valentino, by Daisy Waugh (ummed and ahhed about this, but for the small price I paid, I thought it was worth taking the chance. Also, the lovely cover seduced me into buying it). Me Before You, by JoJo Moyes (heard so many good things about it, saw it in the local charity shop, so jumped at it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaliepud Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Finished I am the Messenger (Markus Zusak), it was a quirky read, funny but with a lot of feeling, the ending was a little disappointing but his interesting writing style made it so worth it, lots of quirky similes that made me smile! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) I got the 'the complete and uncut edition of Stephen king's the stand' for $2 at my local book barn! It's one of my many TBR books on my list. This will be my first book I have read of his, but I have seen a couple of the movies some of his other books got turned into.

You have such a great read ahead of you, chaliepud. Being a dog owner, I know you will love it. I plan on re-reading it very soon (even though I only read it about a month ago), as it's just such a wonderful story. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

Yes they did, and I didn't know they were apart of a trilogy! Do you happen to know what the last book is called?
