Still reading Dark Hollow by John Connolly. Damn, he can write.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Emperor of Thorns is living up to expectations, although the downside of having read the previous novel nearly a year ago is that I have forgotten a lot of what was going on. Thankfully Emperor has a "Previously on Lost" section at the start which summarises the previous two books, but there's still some specifics I'm fuzzy on. :/

[B the BookAddict]

For the Spring Challenge: B is for Bette, B is for The Book Club. Up to Pg 268.

Just into my third in Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series, I love her style

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

A long train journey today means I am well into Burial Rites. It is good - definitely worth reading.

I am only new to GR but a book I read recently
was "Haxby's Circus" by Katharine Susannah
Prichard. Third time I have read it and "third
time lucky" because the last time I can remember
being disappointed in it and Gina. This time, in
a different state of mind maybe, I just liked it
and felt Gina rose above all the negativity and
was really a woman ahead of her time. It is set
in a travelling circus (Prichard travelled with
Wirth's to get background for the story) and Gina
is the star attraction until an awful accident
leaves her fighting for her life in a small
country hospital. The setting is the early part
of the twentieth century and the descriptions
of the depressing conditions and the often
hostile country crowds that were endured
on the road are very telling.

Now reading this The Weight of Silence Though it has the same cover, the version released in Australia is called Behind the Silence. Interesting when they change names like that.

I hate when they do that. I've actually had the same book twice, thinking it was a new release, not realizing until I started it that it was the same book, different name! I bet I'm not the only person as well!

[Dale]

I've had that happen before too. Annoying!

I've done that too. America often changes titles from their UK ones.

Have just finished reading Burial Rites by Hannah Kent - very good read. 4.5 stars. Now I'm reading by Garrett Addison (an author review request)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Good luck with that!!! I've done that with just about all of hers;)

Last night, I started Bridge of Sighs; loving it so far.

(I think Richard Russo might next on my Author Marathon reads.)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Finished Violent Exposure - a really good book . Isn't it nice to read crime novels set in Sydney?
Now I am starting Never Go Back. I love the last few months of the year when every famous author brings out their latest book aimed at the Xmas market.

Just finished Emperor of Thorns, the final in the Broken Empire trilogy from Mark Lawrence. Review is here.

Bit disappointing, unfortunately. :(

More than half way through now and Russo is definitely my next Author Marathon novelist. Love this guy's work.

And look at how many more you can read in the same series!!! He even has a new one coming out soon. He is quite a remarkable writer and a very entertaining speaker.

Who needs to eat?

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

LOL :D

I love eating and reading - preferably at the same time ;)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

What's wrong with you! You'll get food on your books, or you'll get greasy food-fingers and get icky marks all over the pages :C

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

I can eat with a spoon/fork while reading an e-book :P

I hate dirtying books!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!! What an obscure conversation;P

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

Someone's going crazy at the idea of me spoiling my books! :P

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

It's the obsessive compulsive in me coming out :C

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

Me too - I don't like books being spoilt :) OCD?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm the same, my books are in pristine condition...you wouldn't even know they've been read:)
