I quite fancy that one Phrynne...be interesting to hear your though..."

The main character is in a similar vein to Odd Thomas so if you like those books you should like this one too.

Unforgivable by Sharon Robards

Glad you enjoyed it Joanne.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Innocence by Dean Koontz last night and could only give it 3 stars. Definitely not his best work. It starts well, gathers momentum and then goes really silly at the end. I thought maybe I had missed the point somewhere but having looked at other people's reviews I see I am not the only one by far.

[Neil]

Shantaram first 100 pages are making me feel like I'm in India and I've never been, though reading the book in Hawaii is hard to take when hump back wales breaching right in front of my eyes. Happy holidays!

Finally reading S. Still not entirely sure how to, but I guess I'll figure it out as I go.

I got it for Christmas Liam, it's beautiful isn't it? A bit like a well thumbed, well travelled book-come diary. I think I will need some good quiet time before I tackle it properly.
I look forward to hearing your feelings about it.

I'm way behind the reading public in that I've just started The Night Circus; what gorgeous imagery and with heaps of fantastic descriptions.

Still waiting for The Book Thief; 3 reserves ahead of me:(

[Dale]

Have you tried The Ocean at the End of the Lane as well? It is in a similar vein.

[E.A.]

In Search of Hope by Anna Jacobs. Lovely story.

Ahh, good to see you received The Best Australian Poems 2013, Dale. Last I heard you were dropping big hints. I hope you're enjoying it. My husband has that one and The Best Australian Essays 2013, which he is currently reading and says it's brilliant. Keeps telling how good it is and that I should read it!!!

[Dale]

Well, as you see Elaine, the hints worked on my darling husband. I've only read a couple so far. Have to say I probably wouldn't read the essays. Just not my thing. Same with the short stories.

That's a fair call Dale. As for me I'm not particularly into poetry or short stories but might give these a go. Especially the essays as a regular customer at work has also raved about that one. I'm glad for you too that hubby came through. :)

[Andrea]

Finished This Girl definitely not as good as the first 2 books in the series but I quite enjoyed the second half of the book.
Just started The Fault in Our Stars

Just started We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

I think I'm going to like this one :)

[Ashley]

Currently reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I don't know if it is because of the age I read it, but it is my favourite book of all time. I just loved it.

[Kathryn]

I finished The Secret River by Kate Grenville and I thought it was a really interesting book. It highlighted the difficulties faced by the early settlers and the Aboriginal people in Australia - especially with the lack of a common language other than pantomime to enable communication.

When I started The Secret River, I really wanted to finish it to get on to The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion and I even considered changing my mind and reading The Rosie Project first, but I'm glad I didn't. I'm four chapters in and it's a much lighter read than The Secret River, which I think might have suffered if I'd read these the other way around. I'm loving The Rosie Project - it's making me laugh out loud at some of the things expressed by Don (the main character). He doesn't seem to realise that he has Asperger's, although I think he's done some research in that area, as a geneticist. And he does realise that he isn't very good at certain things, which are aspects of Asperger's - such as subtlety, social interaction - but he hasn't put all the pieces of the jigsaw together yet as they relate to him!!

I'm currently reading an amazing book A Century of Wisdom: Lessons from the Life of Alice Herz-Somer, the World's Oldest Living Holocaust Survivor by Caroline Stoessinger

She celebrated her 110th birthday on the 26th November 2013! I'm only a little way into the book, but am thoroughly enjoying it:)

[Sharon]

I don't think you can ever read anything to do with that period and not be moved- not find any survivor's story amazing. It's wonderful to see that some survived, and someone for so long, after one of the most inhuman periods of our history.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

She has the most amazing attitude of anyone! For what she went through, and of course her family, she holds no grudges!

[Sharon]

I've added it to tbr shelf and just looked at some of the reviews and will be curious what you think.

[Dale]

Am currently reading Unforgivable by [author:Sharon Robard..."
I told all my writing group about that yesterday and how good it was.

[Jo]

Dale I am planning to buy the book. So far you are all enjoying it.

[Jo]

As an adoptee I have found my birth mother and she has told me about how she was sent from a country NSW town on the train to Melbourne to give birth to me. This was 1957.

[JB]

I am currently reading Henning Mankell's Wallander series. I first 'met' Wallander through the television series so I decided to check out the author's 'version of events'.

I enjoyed reading 'The Troubled Man' and 'The Faceless Killers' but was not captivated by 'The Man Who Smiled' .

It just seemed to drag on but I did make it to the end eventually.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome back JB:) It's great to "see" you! Glad you are enjoying that series:)

[Rochelle]

I just started reading Almost Deadby Aussie authorKaz Delaney I picked it up from her book launch on Saturday, and she signed it for me! It was very exciting; she's only the second author I've ever gotten a signature from. I started reading it and so far I'm loving it.

[Marianne]

Just finished so I can go see the movie Tuesday, now on the copy of that I won for Mum last month, then probably ....
