Well real life does do that :/"


I know. Work should be against the law for those of us that need that time to read. If you think about it we would be doing a great service to book publishing industry. Think of all the extra money that they would make because we would have more time to read which would mean we would need to continually need to buy more books. :-)

Renee I started reading The Runaway Princess by Hester Browne anyone read this one yet? If so did you like it?

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments I'm working my way through A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness at the moment - plumbers have disrupted any thought of work until I can get back in my room!!

Midu Hadi | 2744 comments nope, not me Danielle

Midu Hadi | 2744 comments and I've heard it's a chunkster, Claire!


message 508: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments As I had nothing else to do, I've managed to get 1/4 way through it! I'm enjoying it so far. It's on my kindle so I haven't got a massive book to hold but it certainly looked big when I saw it in store!


message 509: by Vikki (new)

Vikki (silverstarz) | 1278 comments From memory my copy of Discovery of Witches was about 680 pages. Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far Claire - it and Shadow Of Night were 2 of my favourite reads last year.

I finished my 3rd book today - Secrets of The Tudor Court by Darcey Bonnette

Midu Hadi | 2744 comments so believe it or not, I took a detour and read Cherished (Deveraux Trilogy, #3) by Elizabeth Thornton instead! hehehe

Tanya (mrsreads) | 50 comments I finished reading The Turn of the Screw and The Aspern Papers (Penguin Classics) by Henry James and The Turning by Francine Prose back to back in two days. Not a surprise - one was clearly better than the other. :)

Doesn't take long for it to change. Finished up my 3rd book last night. Since I only committed to 50 books, I'm a bit ahead of schedule. I'm reading A Storm of Swords and listening to The Secret Keeper a bit everyday as well.

message 548: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ I'm doing Leviathan (Leviathan, #1) by Scott Westerfeld as a buddy read which I will start tomorrow. Can't wait.


message 549: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 2744 comments me too, JoLene!
Barbara, I'm sure you'll love it too!


message 550: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ I'm not sure if I posted this but probably not. Finished Deep Black Death Wave (Deep Black, #9) by Stephen Coonts as an audiobook on Friday.

Currently working on three
Into Thin Air A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer which is rather boring
Odd Apocalypse (Odd Thomas, #5) by Dean Koontz (audiobook) which I'm liking a lot
A Night Like This (Smythe-Smith Quartet #2) by Julia Quinn which I'm loving

Hoping to finish 2 of the 3 today so I can start Leviathan tomorrow.
