[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Finished Books:

Tien
Unforgotten - 4 stars

Fairlee
The Innocence of Father Brown - 2 stars
Along Came a Spider - 5 stars.

Karen of the bookworm
The Knife of Never Letting Go

[Tien]

I've finished Unforgotten and rated it 4 stars.

Actually found it difficult to rate it. It's one of those books filled with pictures; poignant, warm, dark, creepy, hopeful, etc... As they say a picture paints a thousand words. I don't feel that I could rate it based on these pictures though I do admire the different elements of photos, drawings, etc. The "story" itself started with something warm then plunged into bleakness and ended with a kind of hope.

[D.G.]

Wow, Tien! WTG! I'll probably start one of mine next week.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I know. She is fast, huh?

[Tien]

Err, well, I'm only fast because it's like a picture book for adults! I don't even quite know where it fits in 'genre' and I'm not sure if children would actually get it and not be creeped out by the pictures. 'twas kinda strange...

[Fairlee]

I finished The Innocence of Father Brown and gave it two stars. I just can t get into short stories.

[Karen]

I finished The Knife of Never Letting Go

I am actually doing a year long celebration of short stories this year, Fairlee. I have to say, it is a bit difficult to find good short story books that aren't mysteries.

[Fairlee]

Just finished Along came a Spider. I gave it 5 stars.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Glad you liked it Fairlee. I need to get to my book....

[Susan]

Oops. Forgot I need to post here. I finished Act One, and gave it 3 stars. My review here .

[Tien]

Yeah! I finished my second book too!

The Light Between Oceans -4.5 stars
My short thought on it can be found on the May review thread

[Karen]

Finished my second book.

The Secret Life of Bletchley Park: The WWII Codebreaking Centre and the Men and Women Who Worked There - 4 stars

[D.G.]

I finished and lurrved it! 4.5 stars

I'm on the one book team but I'll read another choice. ;)

[Susan]

Finished my second book, Up the Line. I gave it 4 stars. My review here .

[Bea]

Oh, gee. I forgot to post my first book that I finished - Ghost Riders by Sharyn McCrumb. I gave it 4*.

[Amy]

Posted in the 2-book team thread that I finished my first book, but neglected to do so here. It was: Last to Die and I gave it 3 stars. Book #2 is in progress...

[Bea]

Finished Exit to Eden. Gave it 4*.

[Susan]

My third book finished: The White Tiger. I gave it 3 stars, but that it was never a 3-star book for me: in some ways 2-stars, in others 4-stars -- so I took an average.

[Lauren]

Finished by first book - - 3 stars. Suffers from first book syndrome.

Susan, when I read this book, it turned out to be only 2* for me.

However, I can recommend White Tiger by Michael Allen Dymmoch. This one was a 5* read for me.

[Amy]

Finished Every Dead Thing, my second book, and gave it 3 stars.

That does look good, Bea. But it looks like I have 4 others in the series to read before I get to that one.

Susan, I read it as a stand-alone book, and it was fine.

[Bea]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows completed for 5*. Held my interest through all 750+ pages!

[Fairlee]

Just finished The Dead Cat Bounceand loved it gave it 5 stars.

[Tien]

Yay, I've finished my third book just in time!

Saving Francesca 4.5 stars

brought back memories of my high school days :)

[Lauren]

Finished my 2nd book - . A solid sequel. Garwood's writing is very addictive.

[Lauren]

Are we going to have another round of POTS?

[Susan]

Lauren wrote: "Are we going to have another round of POTS?"

Oh, yes, please!

[Dee]

Whoops - I finished both my books for the 2 book team

[Fairlee]

Please have more rounds.

[Tien]

Lyn's probably busy with summer holidays :)

In any ways, the call will not be until (at least) the 1st of the month so let's give her a few days, huh? ;)

[Julia]

I finished the first book of my "series" theme read by Darynda Jones. This is the latest in the "Charley Davidson" series. IMO this is the best book of the series. It introduces a couple of new character who I hope we'll see in future books, and also raises a few more questions regarding Charley's relationship w/ Reyes and her "battle" with his father. I love the humor in this book and can't wait for the 6th in the series.
