I've never read any by him either, but then I'm not very much into fantasy so he might not be quite to my liking...

Yes, fantasy is a strange genre fir me - I like some, but I am very selective - some fantasy is an OK level of "strange" for me and others just go a bit (or a lot!) too far for my enjoyment!

You might enjoy Coraline then as it's a children's book (a bit scary for kids IMO) so it's not too over the top.

And now I am going to start Written in My Own Heart's Blood. I have a million other books I should read first but I have been waiting four years for this to come out and I am not going to wait any longer:)

Ha! No, that's for sure!

Liam, Knife of Never Letting Go is amazing. The sequels are even better!

Went back to uni this week, hopefully I still get some time for reading still. The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You

Yeah a mate of mine has been screaming in my ear about them constantly, she loves them. I've got the 3rd book - second one isn't anywhere in my library! :(

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have just this minute finished an amazing book - Lord Somerton's Heir by Aussie author Alison Stuart - my review will follow, but what a wonderful book!

[Carolyn]

I've just finished reading a delightful ebook by Vicki Lesage, an American living in Paris. She started keeping a blog about her move to Paris and turned it into a book Confessions of a Paris Party Girl. After falling in love with a handsome Parisian, she's now written a sequel about the arrival of her children Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer.
Her books are very engaging, full of wry observations (often aimed at herself) on Parisian life and the French way of doing things, while exhibiting a real affection for her adopted country. Recommended if you feel like something light and humorous to read.

I just finished Heft by Liz Moore and loved it.
5 stars from me.

And I just finished our Sharon Robards' Unforgivable which I adored! I'll be featuring Sharon and Unforgivable on our monthly Triskele Books bookclub, later this year, where I'll post my review.

About to start my brand new book Written in My Own Heart's Blood I have been waiting for this one for ages.

I'm about half way through it. It's very good.

To all the Outlander fans (I haven't read it yet myself)...have you seen the trailer for the TV series?

Looks quite good - maybe I'll watch it instead :)

No good for me - I don't have Foxtel.

@Patricia Waiting for the dvd; fingers crossed it won't be too long. Hate the ads on tv.

I just finished Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon and I have tried to write a review which isn't just raving about how good the book is - because it is brilliant!!!

just finished Summer House with Swimming Pool by Dutch author Herman Koch. Wow! 5 ★s, I'm still thinking about it. Can't post a review until the embargo date, 25th June, but I will definitely be off to the library to borrow his only other translated book, The Dinner.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

My head is still with Claire and Jamie Fraser in Written in My Own Heart's Blood but I now have to go back to my buddy read with Tien Bitter Greens. Neither of us is particularly enthused over this book :(

Good review, Phrynne. I have 50 pages left to finish the book. You know, with all the magic of the stones etc, I would have liked it if she had let ..... live. I cried when he died.
(Not disclosing name here).

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Thanks Bette. My impulse was to rave on for hours but that isn't really constructive plus it's hard to avoid spoilers.
If you are referring to the death that made me really sad too I think it was possibly for the best. He would not have had a good life in those days.

[Sally906]

Needed some light and fluffy reading so put down all my current reads and picked up Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger fitted my mood perfectly, I have now picked up again Containment by New Zealand author Vanda Symon which is not at all light and fluffy but I love her work and main character.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just got a reminder from the library
that We Are Water by Wally Lamb is due back on Wednesday and someone else is waiting for it so I had better drop everything else and get started on it!

[Deb]

I am reading a new book my Jackie French called I am Juliet. It is fantastic so far. You get right inside of Juliet Capulet. All I want to do is read!

I read Breath a while ago, and thought he did such a wonderful job of capturing that period and also the feeling of holding your breath under water till you might explode. Evocative.

[Marina]

Finished The Rithmatist recently. Absolutely stunning cover! It was a fun light read too, though quite a "young" Young Adult. My review is here.
