Good start, 200 here we come!

Did you like Gargoyle? Its on my TBR list, but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews that have kept me from picking it up over everything else I have to read...

200 is alot of books but you've made a great start.

Did you like The Book Thief?

Wow. I stand in awe of people who can read soooo much.... I feel like a slow reader compared to you all!

Allison, I thought The Gargoyle was great. It will probably be one of my favorite books I read this year. This is the only time (so far) that all the hype surrounding a book has paid off.

Briansgirl, I thought The Book Thief was okay. I think I was maybe expecting too much out of it because of all the great things I'd heard? I think it's definitely worth reading - and pretty quick.

30. Fool

Good to know Justine, I'll try not to be scared of it then :-)

You're finished with Fool, Justine? What did you think of it? I feel the need to dig out King Lear and at least read the part with the fool.

I enjoyed it almost-but-not-quite as much as A Dirty Job (the only other Christopher Moore I've read). But I've now got King Lear on the TBR to see where the connections are.

I picked up a copy of Villette at a second-hand shop last year, but haven't cracked it yet. What did you think of it?

I read it online so it took forever and that kind of put it off to me. I thought a lot of parts were much more interesting than others, but a worthy read if you're into classics.

62. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
63. How to Ditch Your Fairy

I read my first Charlaine Harris last month and loved it: gravesight.
what did you think about Jonathan strange? I really enjoyed it, flew through it.

Jonathon Strange was a little slow for me. I think a lot of it was the style of writing - like why Jane Austen is slow for me.
I've only read the Southern Vampire series, how was Gravesight?
