Chasm by Stephen Laws

[Adhityani]

Finished Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation. I know I whinged about it buy it got really good after the first 100 pages or so, that I had to give it 5 stars (maybe I am just generous). My review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I will be reading Margaret Atwood's MaddAdam trilogy next, starting with Oryx and Crake. This is in anticipation of the release of book #3 in August. There is just something that draws me to post apocalyptic trilogies...

No I haven't, still working through the Dresden Files

Gal: A True Life - it's horrendous. It makes me want to murder somebody.

Enjoy!

I am currently reading an ARC (for the second time, for reviewing purposes) of Hellraiser—Mother Jones: An Historical Novel -- which, incidentally, I highly recommend.

[Adhityani]

Phrynne, I pre ordered the Kindle one and says release date is August 29. Can't wait!

I have to buy the paper copy because I already bought the first two that way. I tend not to buy my very favourite authors on kindle.

Finished Oryx and Crake and LOVED IT. Can't believe I had waited this long to read it. Here is my review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now onto The Year of the Flood, 2nd book of the MaddAdam trilogy.

Currently reading A Trifle Dead by Aussie author Livia Day

Hi Brenda
Is it the 'done' thing to put a link to the book & the author when we comment here? I notice you do it...
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. It was a freebie a couple of weeks ago when I picked it up. It was the 'Emerald' winner with RWA (unpubbed manuscript) in about 2006 and it's taken these years for the author to finish it. Anyway, I'm about 10% in and it's a lot of fun so far.
At the moment - Ashes Cricket - has my attention tho!
Cheers
Lily M

The reason we encourage everyone to link their books is that it's so much easier to just click on the link to learn about that particular book. Often if it's not linked, people don't bother, so that one slips through. It's nice to be able to check what others are reading with ease:)

Haha! That's a very good point Geoff!

[Adhityani]

Finished The Year of the Flood.

What a bizarre book! Evokes many different emotions at once and sucks you in right away even if you haven't read the first book of the trilogy. Not very dystopic but it is definitely more literature than dystopic! Same post apocalyptic setting with different characters. Five stars.

My review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now I don't know what to read next. Maybe I should hold out until MaddAdam is out.

But you did read the first book of the trilogy didn't you? The second book makes a lot more sense if you have read the first one.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Currently reading The Giver as my YA book for the winter challenge. It reminds me very much of Margaret Atwood and The Handmaid's Tale. Similar type of dystopian society.

[Adhityani]

Yes, Phrynne, makes more sense but still bizarre in a really good way!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I agree - I like bizarre!

The Snowman by Jo Nesbø."

I've read this. I enjoyed it a lot but my hubby wasn't so rapt.

[Katie]

Shadow's Claim by Kresley Cole :) loving it :)

[Marianne]

Just started by John Elder Robison as I really enjoyed his first book and I'm going to his Dymocks Literary lunch next month with my sister

[Michelle]

I recently started reading and am loving it so far.
It didn't start off how I expected but I'm really enjoying it now.

[Michele]

Just started reading Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution by Michelle Moran, which is appropriate as yesterday was Bastille day, but purely co-incidental :)

[Michael]

After reading Tampa I thought I might read something completely nerdy. The nostalgia is high in this one (if you grow up playing computer games in the 80's and 90's). You by Austin Grossman

[Adhityani]

Started The Burial last night and could not put it down. Especially after that deeply unsettling first chapter!

Going to need the tissues for this one :(

You are a braver woman than me Sharon. I don't think I could handle this one, not at the moment while I have young kids (2 boys).

Just reading the prologue was very emotional Lily.

Just finished great middle book, in a really awesome YA high fantasy

Just started another YA high fantasy, loved the first book

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished Ghost Story - another excellent book fom the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It had quite a twist to it and was very entertaining! And now I am starting The Cuckoo's Calling because I can't wait to find out what it is like. It starts extremely well.

You'll have to let us know what you think when you're finished Phrynne:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

No worries :)
Apparently E.L. James is writing her next book under a pseudonym as well. That should be interesting.....
