I had a fun Saturday night. I am reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey and The Last Shot by Michael Adams - both such amazing YA dystopian books that I can't put either of them down to concentrate on the other! I will finish them both today that is my Sunday outlook :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished The Pool of Two Moons which is the second in the series of the Witches of Eileanan by Kate Forsyth. She is a good author!

Heads Hollow City, tails Terms & Conditions: A Novel .... TAILS it is!

T&C isn't published until 22/4 - I received my copy with the GR FirstReads, and have slotted it into the Autumn challenge:) You'll be able to let me know what you think!

LOL!! Richard is always amused too;)

I have just finished the ARC of Missing You by Harlan Coben...OMG! I was gasping when I'd finished! One of those books that you have to put down as it's too gripping, but then pick it up immediately cos you HAVE to know what's going to happen! I have to digest before writing my review, but I can't release it yet either!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Michael wrote: "Sounds like you were impressed Brenda. :)"

Certainly was Michael:)

[Sally906]

Finished The Last Shot by Michael Adams - no review yet as not due out for a few more weeks. A 5 star read just like the first book in the series The Last Girl

Have now picked up something completely different to an edge of your seat dystopian - a nice Aussie romance February Or Forever by Juliet Madison

[Vicki]

Wow, Bette, you've finished already? You must be another speed reader. :)

I'm delighted you enjoyed it, not to mention chuffed with your review. Thank you. :D

The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa. It's a love-it-or-hate-it book. It sent shivers down my spine, because it resonated so strongly with things I'd been thinking about lately. It's taken me a couple of months, because you have to keep dipping into it, but it's amazing.

Vicki, I read it in one sitting because I couldn't stop reading till I finished! A definite un-put-down-able book. I'm impressed and you know me, I'm usually a literary fiction person:)

Reading The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. My first Kingsolver book in ages. A big thank-you to Sally Howes for the recommendation:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie. Very entertaining!

Reading Child of Vengeance byDavid Kirk my son gave it to me for Christmas. Not sure what I will think of it yet.

[Kim BookGirl]

I am part way through the third Father Anselm series by William Brodrick. I like the stories but not so sure about the writing style.

[Sharon]

Finished reading Frantic by Katherine Howell I LOVED IT!

Ooh, I'm so excited that you're reading The Lacuna, Bette! I hope you love it as much as I did. It's a good one if you like books with real historical characters in them. It gave me a totally different view of Trotsky from the one I had before, and Frida Kahlo in this book is now one of my favourite characters of all time :-) The book made me want to google her paintings and also find a good book about the Russian revolution.

[Sharon]

Started reading Call Me Sasha by Geena Leigh

I think this is going to be interesting :)

Ooh, I'm..."

I studied the Russian Revolution and Trotsky for two years but definitely had to look up Frida Kahlo. Hmmm, I think Georgia O'Keefe will still be my favourite.

I'm thinking this will be a difficult book to review:(

[Marianne]

Into the Wool books at the moment for the Feb challenge, enjoying these, can see Shift Omnibus Edition (Silo, #2) and Dust going onto the TBR

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished An Imperfect Witch by Debora Geary. I love these witchy little books! To me they are the literary equivalent of a box of chocolates!

reading The Compromise by Zoe Miller

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I finished Runner by Patrick Lee yesterday - I read it almost non-stop. It was definitely one of those un-put-down-able books for me! 5★s, more if I could!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Just read A House Without Mirrors on a whim from the library - absolutely loved it. Ostensibly it's a kid fiction, but it is quite dark and very good.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Starting The Black Angel by John Connolly. Love these Charlie Parker books - just nicely spooky without scaring me so much I can't read them in bed!

[Alik]

Currently reading Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes. I think Michael recommended it? It is outstanding so far. One of those books I don't want to end. Looking forward to reading the rest of her books...

Enjoy Sharon! I'll be interested in your thoughts:)

Thanks Brenda. Before We Met sounds good. I hope you enjoy it :)

[Kathryn]

Brenda wrote: "I've just started Before We Met by Lucie Whitehouse"

I like the sound of that one, Brenda! Will be interested to hear what you think of it.

[Patricia]

I finished listening to Night Film By Marisha Pessl yesterday and really liked it, I gave it 4 stars, but would be 4.5 if I could.

Then keeping on with my recent horror/ghost theme reads today I started The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

Only in a little way but good so far:)

[Vicki]

Bette, that's why I was concerned it wouldn't be your cup if tea, so to speak. For a literary fiction reader to have been caught up in one of my very much genre fiction books makes me very happy. Thank you. :)

[Vicki]

Great review of Frantic, Sharon. I'm reading it now. We had no power last night, so a good excuse to read. :)

Literary Fiction never makes my heart race like your novel did. I loved it and my sister is reading it now:)

Very sad. Would an e reader be easier?

Have just started The Goldfinch which I am getting into already, but its huge so might take me a while.

Yes, it would. I am a paper book kind of person but I might finally have to give in to an e-reader.

Hope you like The Goldfinch; I read it in 4 days; just couldn't put it down. I love Donna Tartt's stuff; read The Goldfinch, The Secret History - a smashingly good novel. I have The Little Friend on my coffee table.

Now, that is where paper books have it all over ebooks -- you can share them. :)

Oh no, that is not good. Does it usually take long to get back under control? I hope not. Take care, Bette.

So sorry to hear Bette:( The latest eReaders are very light too...but do you have one of those book chairs? http://www.bedsonline.com.au/products...

I've heard people who can't hold books, but still want to read the paper ones, say these are really good...
