Timmo Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just finished The Magician's Nephew. Not sure which book to start on tonight. I might carry on with the Narnia's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How do you like the Narnia books? I still have most of them on my tbr pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmo Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Was a fun read, it was nice and easy to read and of course they are quite short. So definitely worth a read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmo Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've read Eragorn and quite enjoyed but I have heard that the others are quite repetitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmo Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Finished the Hunger Games today, not usually a fan of books wrote in first person but was a very good read and was hooked to read chapter after chapter, can't wait to start the next one now. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmo Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just finished Catching Fire, one more to add to my Jan list and just in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley.s Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I read the first 2 of the Christopher Poalini books and really struggled with the 3rd. It was so long I think I just got bored and resented spending so much time reading it. I don't really understand why as I quite enjoyed the first two. I just got sick of reading the 3rd one and the thought of having to read the 4th was too much. I never finished it and abonded it half way through. I hope you have a better time with them than I did. I don't think I will ever return to read Brisingr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmo Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Did you read through all three at once or gaps inbetween? I just finished Mockingjay and will probably start Eldest next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley.s Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Did you read through all three at once or gaps inbetween? I just finished Mockingjay and will probably start Eldest next. I read the first two together but there was a big gap between Eldest and Brisingr, thinking about it you've probably hit the nail on the head because I couldnt remember what had happened at the end of Eldest when I first started reading Brisingr. Althoug you can't really get lost with these books. Have you already read Eragon? Eragon was such a nice fluffy book or a boy and his drangon, the others are much darker I found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you think of I Am Number Four, ive looked at it a few times but I'm not yet convinced enough to put it on the ever growing wishlist!

Timmo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Finished I am Number Four a few days ago. Was pretty good and an easy read. I am now on The Power of Six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
