Thank you Brenda :)

[Elaine]

Currently reading 11/22/63 which is awesome.I'm really enjoying it. I know a few of my friends here have read it but thank you Kathryn for actually making me take notice of it, otherwise I would've missed it as I don't normally read Stephen King.

Good to hear you're enjoying it Elaine...we bought it for my son two Christmas' ago, and he loved it!

[Elaine]

Oh it's really good Brenda. I don't think you have to be a Stephen King fan or into JFK ( although that's only a small part of the book, really) to enjoy it. I think I will buy it. It's one of those books you want to own I think. Plus I'd like hubby to read it too!!

It's very cleverly written. It's the longest book I read last year, and I hardly even noticed how long it was once I started because it was such an interesting read. Glad you're enjoying it, Elaine!

[Kathryn]

And Elaine, that was one of my top 5 recommended books for last year so if you finish it this month, that's another one toward the recommended part of your January challenge!

[Elaine]

Thanks Kathryn, didn't realise that. I will definitely finish it soon I think. It's quite "unputdownable". Although holidays are over and it's back to work tomorrow!! :(

Thanks Brenda. He may take a while to get round to it. He tends to resist my recommendations sometimes as he says I'm too controlling...who me?? Never. I just know he'll really enjoy it too.

Hahahaha!!! Did you have fun on your break?

[Elaine]

Yes it was lovely thanks Brenda and of course the usual cliche of being over way too soon. But I guess I should be grateful that we could go away, even for such a short time.

I got a copy of this in the mail today :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Awesome Sally! It's a great read.

[Sally906]

Trouble is I've got about 4 'awesome' reads sitting here and I want to read them ALL now!

Well, take a few sickies, and don't sleep till they're done!! ;P

Just finished Brave New World, an interesting book to read and kind of compare it with today.

Also, started the The Guns of August. I just finished reading about the policy, politics and military planning in the years leading up to WWI. From the read of things, the narrative makes it seems inevitable a major war between France, Germany and the UK was going to break out.

[Sharon]

Just started The First Lie by Diane Chamberlain

This shouldn't take me long seeing as it only has 35 pages :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well there you go!Your beagle must enjoy your company while you read;p

The Book Thief has passed through many library reserves and finally hit my hot little hands. Hope it lives up to the hype. o_o

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Fear Nothing. It was excellent. Staying in the zone I am now reading The Killing Kind. I always enjoy Charlie Parker.

[Joanne]

Wizzed through Skin Deep. I absolutely loved it. Now onto The Sky Is Everywhere.

[Patricia]

I just finished Defending Jacob by William Landay and wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. 4 ★ from me.
Just a short review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Tomorrow I'll start We Are Water by Wally Lamb.

[Sally906]

I am reading a Mystery Thriller at the moment - The Cry Helen Fitzgerald and it is great!!! She is an Aussie author too so bonus for that ;) She has a few books out but this is the first I have read by her and if this is an example of her work I shall go back and read her other works.

Ooh it sounds really good Sally! I'll wait until I read your thoughts before I add it to my TBR! Love finding new (to me) Aussies:)

[Sally]

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished Matilda Is Missing and all I can say is wow! This is a new author to me and i was very impressed.

[B the BookAddict]

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt; recommended by Angela in Goodreads Choice Group. Y/A but very readable by most ages.

I haven't read that one Phrynne, and it sounds good. Caroline Overington is very hot and cold in my opinion. It makes me wary to read any more of hers!

[Michael]

I'm about half way through All That Is by James Salter.

[Jo]

Phrynne Caroline Overington is one of my favorite authors. My husband has just read her latest book No place like home and liked it. :)

[Suzanne]

Brothers and Sisters - Charlotte Wood. It's actually and Australian Book which is a collection of short autobiographical stories from Australian Authors about their childhood / relationships with their brothers and/or sisters. Wonderful book, easy to pick up and put down if you are busy or travelling. Some of the subjects the authors talks about I think we can all relate to. Even an autobiographical story about one author who talks about having one child and that it's effects are not negative as those who say they are professionals think!
Looking forward to finishing on Australia Day hopefully when I get time between housework and e-baying!
