Thanks for the link Steven. From the description of Chapelwood, it doesn't sound like any of the questions that the reader is left with at the end of Maplecroft will not be answered in the sequel, which is disappointing.

Wow, Cold Magic has some mixed reviews. It seems to be a love it or hate it kind of book.... Usually they are the most intriguing.

ST - takeout sounds like a good idea :)

actually since we we've already discussed the awesomness that is Angelfall, and since I am enjoying reading it just as much on the reread i am going to recommend it for any chickadees that need a reccomendation for their bingo read.

ST, what sort of genres do you like?

I just had a look at my TBR and One Plus One is on there. I will have to give it a go n the new year.

Erin, I have read The Ship of Brides, it's just a lovely sweet story I thought.
Having just discharged from the Australia Navy when I read the book I was impressed how well she knew the terminology and workings of a Navy ship.

I have been meaning to read another of JoJo Moyes' books ever since, but have never got round to it.

Rebecca, talking to some people who have read the series it is supposed to get better, apparently book 2 is where a lot of people have trouble.

Lol.. You girls make me giggle.

V, I would love to hear your view of Angellfall seeing as PNR isn't your thing. Although, even though it has the romance it is also so much more than that. I would probably call it a dystopia more than a PNR - just with angels as the bad guys.

LOVED Angelfall!!"

I know right! I am patiently trying to wait for the third book next year. Guess the re-read will have to keep me going until then. I think Raffe is the only fictional character that has ever made me swoon :)

I don't think the eReader has a speed read function. I have upped the speed on my Audible books though :)

Woohoo, we are doing good!!!

So I have been racking my brains trying to think of a favourite book to
re-read for one of the Bingo challenge books, and it finally came to me. I very rarely re-read books so I was finding it a difficult one to choose. But then it came to me. I absolutely loved Angelfall probably one of my favourite books of all time and one that I would love to read again! I highly recommend it, especially for those who don't mind a bit of gruesome with their paranormal. Oh and the best male MC ever! I am so excited now to get started on it - just one other book to finish first. Crap... When am I gonna have to time to clean the damn house!

I was going to read Zodiac later this week if anyone would like to BR with me.

I finished this book yesterday as well, but could only give it 2 stars. For me it started with a lot of promise and then just got tiresome. I didn't particularly find myself invested in any of the characters, perhaps with the exception of Dr Seabury. I also walked away with too many questions for me to be satisfied - I felt just as much in the dark about what was happening at the end of the book, as I did at the start. What I did like was the author's writing style and I think the multiple POV were done well.

So, I have managed to read the first chapter of The Colour of Magic and am so far enjoying it. It took me a while to get used to the writing style, especially with the huge cast of characters you meet straight off the bat. It's definitely fun though :)

Kristin, I ended up not really liking Maplecroft. Nothing was really answered by the end of the book. I felt just as clueless about what was happening at the end, as I did at the start. It seems to be the first in a series, so maybe it will make more sense in later books, but I don't have any enthusiasm to keep on reading the series. It's a shame, for me it started with a lot of promise but ended up... meh.

Finished And Then There Were None. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. 4 stars from me because of the fun factor and because I couldn't figure out the murderer, but I don't think who-done-it's are my thing.

Next goal to finish Maplecroft today. I love Xmas holidays, lots and lots of reading time :)
