Yes, I like the British one better too:) Glad you enjoyed it so much Phrynne!

[Kim BookGirl]

Finished The Great Charles Dickens Scandal on the weekend and started American Gods.

[Amber]

Just started on - on a history run at the moment, and I'm alternating between historical fiction and historical biographies.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Just started Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo..it's very good:)

[Leonie]

Currently having a trip down memory lane to my teen years, reading Sassinak by Anne McCaffrey. Must be almost thirty years since I've read it :)

[Dean]

I have just started book one of seven of the Game of Thrones series. Tell my parents and friends that I will see them in a year or two....

I'm reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan on audiobooks. The next one is 40 hours!!! And that's only book 4 out of fourteen. So tell my friends I may see them again some time when we are very old.

[Michele]

I have just started Seven Bones by Peter Seymour - I think the story will be interesting, at least I hope it will be, because the writing is so bad - I can't believe it was published!

Thanks Brenda - I just finished it - it really could have done with a better editor, or maybe they didn't have an editor and that was the problem! I struggled through to the end, I don't think it was worth the effort.

On a brighter note, I am just about to start Frantic by Katherine Howell which was a bargain on itunes.

Oh I loved Frantic!! I've read all of hers, and loved them all:) Enjoy!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Frantic is the first book I have lined up for April - for my Aussie authors challenge.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Before April starts I still want to finish my current book Second Shift: Order and read Third Shift: Pact. These are the books following on from Wool Omnibus. This has been such an excellent series I don't want it to end. But at the same time I can't stop reading it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds like you have some great reading happening there Phrynne!!

[Natty]

Finished a few days ago, loved it. Have started to read - am enjoying this one too. Seem to be on a real historical fiction/faith related reading path so far, as these books are both those kind of genres, and then my next one after Lineage will be ..at least I'm enjoying them...lol

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Finished Second Shift: Order. Absolutely brilliant and with a superb twist right at the end. Now I want to start Third Shift: Pact but unfortunately family and friends require attention. It's a problem how real life can get in the way sometimes :)

Life seems to do that all the time Phrynne!!! Glad you're enjoying it though:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Friends, family and good books. What more can we ask for in life!

Perfect!! Plus good health:)

I finally started reading The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafrón today.

There's nothing like a long weekend to knock out a good book. C:

The Shadow of the Wind

Excellent choice Eliza :)

[Jess]

I just finished Song of the Bellbirds and just started to read Jillaroo.

Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia

Is that the one Rochelle?

[Nicola]

Rochelle I am at the beginning of Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia :-) I've enjoyed the series so far.

[Rinelle]

Just finished reading a YA fantasy. Really engrossing read, I couldn't put it down.

[Tash]

I'm halfway through I Am Half Sick Of Shadows. It's the third in the series. It's a light and easy read (all my brain can manage at the moment) but it's not fluffy or silly. It's clever and bright without being heavy going. :)

I am so keen to read this, even though I couldn't get into Started Early, Took My Dog. I so need more hours in my day!

One of my most favourite Australian films ever!

I loved The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer. I think Barbara Kingsolver is an incredible writer. PWB is hard going though. :/

The Poisonwood Bible was one I couldn't finish...struggled with what I did read:(

Brenda wrote: "Tash wrote: "Brenda wrote: "Phrynne wrote: "Marianne wrote: "Dhitri wrote: "I just finished Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver as part of my Summer Challenge and enjoyed it very much! Four stars..."

I think I pushed through because I loved the Prodigal Summer so much! I read The Lacuna last year, and that was even harder to read I think. And sadly, even when I got to the end, I didn't love it. :/

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

TPB was the first of hers I'd read (for bookclub) and not liking it has made me not interested in reading anything more by her:(

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished rereading The Great Gatsby (I always want to give Daisy a good smack) and am just starting Frantic as my Aussie author challenge. It starts well.

I have The Almond Tree to read yet Nat....I'd love to know what you think:)

Year 12 has kept me from much recreational reading unfortunately. However, tonight I will be starting The Walking Dead, Vol. 17: Something to Fear. I love those graphic novels so much, can not wait to read this latest instalment :)

Thanks Nat!

I'm reading The Princess Bride for a challenge in another group. This is one strange book! Not at all what I had expected.
