Frances’s comments from the Between the Lines group.

I'm reading The Feast of All Saints. Just finished The Hunger Games.

I'm reading When Christ and His Saints Slept. This is a second attempt.

Did you enjoy The Last Child? I've wanted to read it since seeing it in Borders.

Two favorite fictional characters?

LOL. I forgot but I guess you could tell. Thanks for fixing that. Ok, I'll try again.

1. historical fiction
2. mystery

This isn't a book but I THINK I might want a Nook. Maybe.

Honestly, I'm a tea drinker as well. I prefer mine sweet with lemon......non-herbal, hot or iced, and all day long.

I'm reading The Woman in White very slowly, mostly at bed time. More actively, I'm reading Doomsday Book. So far both are very interesting.

How about A.S. Byatt. I hear great things about her writing.

17. The Book Thief

I must admit that I'd LOVE to visit the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. It sounds rather fascinating. Also, even though it can be argued that Fermin was somewhat of a literary device to move the plot along, I enjoyed his character. Likewise, I liked David's foil as well.

I, too, recently reads both novels. Shadow of the Wind was by far the better read for me. The biggest difference is that The Angel's Game had some what of a super natural twist to it and even though things wrapped up in the end it wasn't exactly neat. Maybe (to avoid spoilers) I should say my interpretation was not favorable for David Martin.

Has anyone read Doomsday Book? Any comments/reviews?

Thanks for the comment Lainey. I just expected more. I haven't seen the movie. I'm currently reading The Woman in White I've had on my night stand for quite a while. So far so good.

The Angel's Game

I loved The Shadow of the Wind and had hoped to enjoy this one as well. I didn't.

15. . The Angel's Game

I loved his other book The Shadow of the Wind but I enjoyed this one a little less. However, I kept reading so it must not have been too bad, just not great.
