Colleen McCullough, what a writer, I'd read her shopping list.

For me it was a bit hard to get into, but I loved the set up, the second one is going really well.

If you struggle I would say push through

It's okay as long as you're not driving as you're reading.

I'm reading Embryo 2: Crosshairs by J.A. Schneider Just as gripping as the first!

Thanks. I've only got to read two chapters so far but I am enjoying it.

Just started Would You Eat Your Cat? Key Ethical Conundrums and What They Tell You About Yourself by Jeremy Stangroom.

I've wanted to read that for ages!Definitely one of my must reads.

I currently have two books on the go, which is unusual for me. Beyond Fear an Australian thriller that I got when it was free on iBooks and Gone Girl. I don't generally read these kinds of meaningless thrillers, but they make for some easy reading after reading the very thought-provoking Foal's Bread.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished The Cuckoo's Calling and really enjoyed it. It appears J.K. Rowling can write any genre. I hope she continues with this series because I really liked Cormoran Strike and would like to hear more of him.
A complete change of pace now as I start The Name of the Rose

[Michele]

I very quickly finished Would You Eat Your Cat? Key Ethical Conundrums and What They Tell You About Yourself, which was interesting, but maybe a little simplistic. I have now started Blood Harvest by S.J. Bolton

Currently reading Blackwattle Lake despite it being another of those seemingly generic covers I hate.

Won't read your review till much later Bette as hoping to get hold of the book first.

Michael wrote: "Wonderful review Bette. You had pretty much the same experience that i had reading it. You are right about the last couple of chapters you could feel the emotion."

Hey, thanks. Hopefully, everyone who reads it will feel like we did about the book. And yes, those last chapters really knock you around a bit, don't they?

And if I hadn't read your review and seen Phynne's comments, I might never had picked up Harold Fry, so thanks for the heads up on a great read.

Now, that sounds like something I would like. Added to my TBR.

How is happening that as soon as I read something from my TBR, then I read a review of another that I find I'd like to read:)

[Sharon]

Just started The Lake House

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope you enjoyed it Michael...I'll wait for you thoughts on A Bitter Taste too:)

[Michele]

Thunderstruck by Erik Larson. I just finished Blood Harvest by S.J. Bolton - an excellent read highly recommended

[Dale]

Bought two days ago. Arrived yesterday The Rise of the Swans: A Decade of Success 2003-2012 I wanted to keep it for male author read in September but once it arrived this Sydney Swans fan couldn't resist.

Enjoying by David Nicholls

Reading The Daughters of Mars by Thomas Keneally. Period detail is interesting but a little slow so far. I think it will be a gradual build up however. TK always pays off.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

And I am STILL reading The Name of the Rose. I have never read a book with so many unnecessary words in it. You can skip whole chapters and still not miss out on any of the plot. Maybe I should do exactly that otherwise I may never get to the end of it.

Lots of skimming, or give up completely Phrynne!

I'm reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel .. it's an interesting novel which was made to a movie later, I think everybody knows that one!
of course reading it has its own enjoyment ..

I can't understand why every one who has read it likes it except me. Think I had better go sit in the corner again.

Just finished Beyond Fear which was okay, very plot driven. Now to get stuck into Gone Girl.

[Jen]

I started A Complicated Kindness today and am loving it. Sat in the sunny courtyard whilst Australia got belted in the cricket and read 70 pages without really blinking, other than to fill my glass with some more bubbles. I'm so intrigued by the narrator, and feel like calling it a "coming-of-age" story is somehow doing the book a disservice.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Well I finished The Name of the Rose. I am glad it is over. I did enjoy the story. The main characters Brother William and Adso were like a medieval Sherlock and Watson. However the endless descriptions of everything that moved or didn't move drove me to distraction. Sometimes there were up to four PAGES of description about one church door. Did I mention that I finished it? Only just!
Now I am reading Perfect: A Novel.

Perfect: A Novel Is this released? Book page says publication Jan 2014. Did you get an advance copy to review? I can't wait to read now; I adored Harold Fry which I read after I saw your comments.
