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 :)

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.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) I really want to read House of Leaves again but also I don't want to kill myself due to brain confusion.

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

I'm sure her powers are boundless!!

Maybe you should change the tag after your name, Brenda, to Superwoman!

Patricia (pjaye) I'm currently listening to The Painted Girls The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan just over half way through and loving it.
The narration is excellent

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.

Vicki Tyley (vickityley) | 1732 comments Finished The Burning by Jane Casey (4 stars) and started Not Dead Enough by Peter James (excellent so far).


message 6578: by Michele (new)

Michele I started reading MasterMind by Helen Goltz, but I have put it aside for the moment, I am about 30% in and have no idea what is going on. I have enjoyed her other books, but I am just not sure about this one. So I then picked up Hanging Hill by Mo Hayder, which I know will be a great read.

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.

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?

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.


message 6591: by Patricia (new)

Patricia (pjaye) I actually am reading an Aussie book this time (unusual for me!) I started listening to The Hypnotist's Love Story and I like it so far. This is my first book by this author & I like the narration too.
