What Are You Currently Reading? (doesn't have to be an Aussie book)

My review is at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."
Excellent review Bette. You've really captured the essence of the whole book and reminded me why I loved it so much when I read it.

Similar feeling about the new S., which I guess was heavily inspired by House of Leaves.

Sprung! You have eyes everywhere, Brenda!! Hey - it's just occurred to me - do you actually have a second pair of eyes?? That could explain your tremendous speed of reading...! ;-)

I'm sure her powers are boundless!!
Maybe you should change the tag after your name, Brenda, to Superwoman!

I definitely wouldn't go that far Kathryn! But I do need to change it:)

Elaine, it was your bookshelf and rating which prompted me to read this, so a huge thank you:)

That I do!! lol"
Yes, she's here, she's there, she's everywhere. Welcome back, Brenda:)

I feel like I can't take any credit, Bette as it's just a great book and I'm so glad I found it and in turn that you did. I knew the story behind the author not being able to get published and I just can't believe that we may have missed out completely!!! Funny thing is I picked it up for $5 at one of those cheap book warehouses. I couldn't believe my luck.

STILL reading A Madness of Angels. Love it love it love it. Who dreams up these incredible things. Imagine blue angels in the telephone wires!


This is next on my to-read list. looking forward to it

I finished A Madness of Angels. It was so good. I had to keep reminding myself I was not reading a book from the Dresden Files. It was very similar but only in the best possible ways. Now I have myself another series to follow.
Starting my HF book Possession next.

Yep, Geoff, I hated the Nazi death camp part.

I love Possession. The film version is good too, if you're interested enough to see that afterwards.

My goodness, they are not small books either.
How far in are you with Serenade. Is it going well?
Michael wrote: "I currently have American Dream Machine, Serenade, The Narrow Road To The Deep North, The New York Trilogy and War and Peace all on the go"
I had hoped to read War and Peace as part of a read-a-long this year but it was a fail. Maybe next year.

The blurb sounds intriguing; will watch for your review."
I have mixed feelings about this book, Bette, but I will suspend my judgement until I've finished it :)
