What a great review, Bette!

I am halfway through Cloudstreet, I enjoy the unusual narrative style but it does force me to slow down in my reading.

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

Finally done with Perdido Street Station - what a brilliant work!

Thanks, Dhitri. I hate to say it but much as I love Winton's writing, I just find his books a tad depressing. They leave me feeling 'shut-in' and claustrophobic. But I did love his In the Winter Dark- gripping book. Have you read it?

Hatched: Tim Winton Award Winners 20th Anniversary Collection by Tim Winton

Released this week, this is my final Winter Challenge book. It's a slender book and I'll sit down with it over a coffee this morning.

In the Country of Men by Hisham Matar

I'm attempting to make my way round the world, this is a novel of Libya.

Dhitri, I was planning on reading Cloudstreet next. When you say unusual narrative style...is it complex? I'm not sure if I'm up for something atm, that needs work to understand it

I've finished A Thousand Pardons by Jonathan Dee who has delivered the goods again. My review is at:

I've been reading some Goodreads' author's books lately - Riley Banks, Sean Tretheway, Ange Takats - all good reads.

Yesterday I started Bryce Courtney's Jack of Diamonds. Such a shame it is his last book - a great loss but what a legacy he has left behind!

Riley Banks

Jack of Diamonds by Bryce Courtenay

You're right about Bryce Rita, a terrible shame.
Would you mind linking your books/authors too when you post please, as when I tried to link both Sean and Ange nothing came up. It just helps the rest of the group find what you're reading, and maybe adding them to their own TBR lists:) Thanks.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Headhunters by Jo Nesbø - one of my mum's favourites, so thought I'd give him a whirl. Not bad so far, short book though.

[Sharon]

The Toyminator by Robert Rankin.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Headhunters finished. Meh.

[B the BookAddict]

Reading The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides. 406 pages of delicious literary fiction.

[Michelle]

I just finished reading for a review tour which was a really fast moving read but not one I would normally choose.
I've almost finished listening to which I have loved as I am such a huge James Lee Burke fan.
I might start reading tonight if I get time.

[S.K.]

I've just started Blood Countess by Tara Moss

[Mish]

I've had to put on hold A Thousand Splendid Suns, I got up to disc 10 of 11 and could not play it anymore...The disc was scratched :/

So now I'm listening to Touch & Go and reading The Postman Always Rings Twice

That's no good Mish!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm currently reading The 9th Girl by Tami Hoag I'm not far in yet, but it's excellent!

[Mish]

Michael wrote: "No good Mish. Have you checked the discs for Touch & Go? The last thing you would want is it happening again."

I was devastated when that happened. Yes Michael I made sure this time. I've checked all the disc in Touch & Go and they are in excellent condition

It's terrible. I've reserved the paper copy at the library & all I could do is try and find my place in the book....I was so close to the end :(

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I'm on a Neil Gaiman roll. Just finished The Sandman, Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes and am going straight into Stardust

Couldn't they get another audio for you? They should try at least!

My local library isn't getting any Disc audio books any more, they are all on Download audio...I'll be honest, I don't have a clue how to use it.

Actually I could check other libraries as well.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Your library should be able to be in touch with other libraries who may still have a copy too Mish...good luck with it!

[Sharon]

Just started The Son-in-Law by Charity Norman

Already loving it and I've only read a couple of chapters.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Glad you're enjoying it Sharon:)

[Sharon]

Thanks Brenda. Think it's going to be a late night as I can't put it down :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm a bit the same with my current read:)

[Leonie]

Just picked up Mates at Billabong and Captain Jim by Mary Grant Bruce free from Amazon. Time for a trip down memory lane...

[Sharon]

I'm guessing your going to be finished yours tonight Brenda ;)
I just love it when you start a book and it has you hooked :)

Not sure Sharon...probably. I have about 1/4 left;)

[Sharon]

lol Yeah, I'd best get off this computer then, hadn't I;)

[Sharon]

Yes that would be a good idea ;)

I'm having my own Jeffrey Eugenides read-a-thon atm. I've just finished The Marriage Plot which I loved.
And started Middlesex last night. I can already see this is going to be a 5★ book.

Middlesex is fantastic Bette.

I couldn't do that - read so many books in a row by the one author.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No I'm a bit the same..need a break with someone different.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Depends on the author. I am on my third Neil Gaiman in a row.

[Mish]

I've been known to do that too. My recent one was Melina Marchetta, 3 books in a row.

And then there's the series. If I'm really hooked on the first book in the series, I could read the lot, one after the other.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I did that when I discovered Terry Pratchett. I think I read 8 or 9 of them in a row before I felt the need to read something else.

I really enjoyed Middlesex too

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Coraline in one sitting (it's a very short book). Starting A Fortunate Life for my August challenge next.
