Julie I have reserved the girl in the shadows from the library. I didn't know there was a book before this one. I will have to look up the library and see if the previous book is there.

Yay!! Good for you Jo, I hope you enjoy them...you will more than likely appreciate not having to wait for the second one to come out...good story ;-)

[Jo]

Thank you Julie. I read the review about The Girl in the Shadows in Good Reading Magazine and thought it was going to be a good read.

I'm reading two books at the moment. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch - a collection of thoughts and life lessons learned by a man diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - things he'd like to pass on to his kids but he's not going to have the time to do this because his time alive is rapidly drawing to an end. It's interesting (and I'm loving the short, bite-sized chapters that can be read in brief moments throughout the day), but I've also started And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini and The Last Lecture is taking a bit of a back seat to this. I'm drawn into the stories of the characters and I just want to keep reading it (longer chapters notwithstanding)!!

[Sharon]

I received And the Mountains Echoed as a Christmas gift Kathryn and I'm looking forward to reading it sometime soon. I enjoyed his other books as well. I look forward to reading your review :)

That sounds promising, Alex - I've put Bereft into my Aussie Author Challenge for one of the categories - historical fiction, I think. Looking forward to it.

[Marianne]

[Marianne]

Still waiting on my copy of Unforgivable to arrive. It must be taking a bit longer to get up here to Queensland!!

[Dale]

Mine only arrived today. It takes a bit extra to get here than to go to places like Sydney. Maybe you will get yours tomorrow Kathryn.

I know, I know - patience is a virtue!! And I can't start it just yet anyway, so I shouldn't be so impatient ;-)

Now I am curious. What made you read a book like this? I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with it....I've read books like this from time to time.

I just didn't think it would be your type. And there is so many Literary Romance novels that you could choose from.

Yes I can see why so many here loved it Bette. It's a gorgeous book. I'm glad I finally got round to reading it.

Curious to read a romance by a feminist and I hear it is really steamy :P

Finished And the Mountains Echoed last night (after staying up past my bedtime to finish the last chapter!). I loved it - 5 stars from me.

No, definitely nowhere near as good as Slammed and POR. I loved those books but this one just seems a bit pointless to me! Pretty disappointed so far :(
