I've heard only very, very good things about this book. It's finally time to pull it away from the mountain called my 'own-unread'."

Good luck Shane. I started it a while back for another challenge but for some reason couldn't get into it. My husband read it and really enjoyed it. I may have to go back to it at another time. Hope you enjoy it.

Sharon I'm so glad you started it. Will be very interested to know what you think. As you know I really loved it. I'm off to Big W today to spend some vouchers and I'm hoping to buy The Husband's Secret . Based on your recommendation and of course on having enjoyed Alice so much.

Great review Michael:)

[B the BookAddict]

Last night I started Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger. Loving it - over halfway already. And it has a gorgeous cover:)
I think I'll be reading a lot more of this guy.

Reading Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco, and Destiny in between writing my sequel to Celtic Blood. Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco, and Destiny is one of the best most entertaining books I've read, want to get the goss on those music celebrities, Madonna. What is she like? Read this. Read some good books this year, this is the best though. Loved it.

Reading Ice Station again, haven't for ages. Forgot how quickly I tear through Matthew Reilly books.

Sheesh... Am TBRing almost every book you mention!

[Michele]

I am working my way through two books at the moment

Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order by Noam Chomsky, which is very interesting and
The Geneva Trap by Stella Rimington

That's because I'm amazing. :P Don't expect anything deep and intelligent from a Matthew Reilly novel though, they're action movies in novel form.

Reading Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey for the August challenge.

[Nicola]

I'm reading City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare and Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult.

Thanks Elaine. I'm enjoying it so far.
I know that feeling you described though, sometimes I read books that I agree are very good, but I'm not in the mood for that style at the time, so I put in down till a later time

[B the BookAddict]

Yesterday I finished Ordinary Grace. Review to follow, I think...
Now I've started Secrets of Eden which contrary to the cover, is actually an interesting murder book involving a vicar.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Ice Station finished. God I forgot how much fun Matthew Reilly's novels are.

While Kiss Me First is so addictive, I'm going to read The Hot Kid in remembrance of the great Elmore Leonard

Have you read any of his before Michael? Such a sad loss...

[Michael]

No I haven't, I released there are so many books of his that I want to read and remember all the movie adaptation (mostly positively). So I went to the library and picked up the first book of his I found, if I like it I plan to read a lot more.

I'd be interested in your take when you've read it:)

Finished 'Jasper Jones'. Loved it! Not without stars but definitely four stars and worthy comparison to 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

[Jan]

Have just started A Man Without A Breath by Philip Kerr, recommended by a friend. Haven't read any of Kerr's books before.

Started The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

Working my way through Loki slowly.

I have had that one for awhile, but have not started, how are you liking it?

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

It's pretty good, I'm a big nerd for Norse mythology so that side of it is cool.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Lit Bug wrote: "Started The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin"

I am so looking forward to that one .Wonder if I can work it in to one of the challenges I am doing in September...........

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished Waiting for Wednesday by Nicci French. It was excellent. A five star read. I am growing to like Frieda Klein and look forward to the next in the series.
Now I am starting Mortal Fire. Elizabeth Knox is a really good author and if this is half as good as The Vintner's Luck I shall be a happy vegemite. It has a brilliant cover!

Just finished Missing You by Justine Ford
A very interesting read.

Now I'm reading Joyland by Stephen King

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm reading Matilda's Freedom by Téa Cooper

I'm more than half-way through and it is quite interesting, but not half as good as Mieville. The weird factor is the same, reminds me sometimes of Embassytown, the world-building is sound, but lacks the lyrical charm of China Miéville.

I was hoping someone would read it with me, but I guess now am on the verge of finishing it. Will post a review, although! :)
