Haha! Great minds;)

[Angela]

Thanks guys - damn these iPhone limitations!! I am thoroughly enjoying it - very vivid with a great plot weave. It wouldn't take you long :-D

[Valerie]

It's quite tedious to have to copy URL while in the app, open Safari, paste, find where you need to comment, insert the link.... (#firstworldproblems)!!

[Angela]

Hahaha!! Oh the stress of Western society.

I'm reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini - heart-breaking, but great writing.

Loved that one - might even say it was better than The Kite Runner. I must find the time to read his latest one of these days.

Today I finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. It is the second book in the Mistborn trilogy and a very strong fulcrum for the series, I think. I thoroughly enjoyed it - 4★s.

Here is my review:

They're my heroes, too! I did notice the fourth Mistborn book, but for some reason, I am a bit hesitant about 'add-on' books like that. There is a 'prequel' to the Wheel of Time that I haven't read yet, too. Hopefully I'll get to these little extras one day!

Ooooh, thanks, Bette! I see there are Kindle versions of a few of her other books, too, though not all, which is strange.

Hats off to you, Michael, keep it up.....another 200 expected from us now!

[Marianne]

I have just 8 pages of Cop Town to go (the epilogue) and now I'm hesitating because once I've read that, it's OVER : (
I hope Karin will give us more of Maggie and Kate (and Gail and Jimmy and Rick maybe too). Gonna go chop meat and onions for tomorrow's slow cooker project: a Dutch dish called Hachee = Beef & Onion Stew, served with red cabbage and mashed potato, a real winter dish!

It's such a great book isn't it!!! Can't wait for your review Marianne:) Enjoy that delicious sounding meal!

[Marianne]

BTW this https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1274... was my favourite quote from Cop Town. As a Cloggie, I have every right to laugh out loud at this one.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I am going to start City of Heavenly Fire. It had better be an improvement on the last one :) I have to read it anyway because I hate to leave a series unfinished when I have invested so much time in it already. Wish me luck.

Lots of pages but not a lot of words on each page so it actually speeds along. I have read about a hundred pages and have reached for the tissues twice! Cassandra Clare may not be the world's best author but she knows how to tug at your emotions :(

A Fort of Nine Towers: An Afghan Family Story
by Qais Akbar Omar

[Deb]

Since I am on holidays I thought I would start reading The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. Holidays are the only time I tackle longer books. So far it has been good.

That sounds great - it's going on the list!

Just started my Buddy read for the Winter challenge, The Cuckoo's Calling and must say, although only a few chapters in I'm really enjoying it.

I'm still only about 3 chapters in so far (I've started the 4th chapter) in Part One, so still just becoming familiar with all the characters, but I think I will like it once it gets going. Sounds like you're going to read with a vengeance now you've started, Elaine (especially since you've got the sequel to spur you on!), so I'd better try to keep up ;-) Just kidding - go as quickly as you like!

I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and really enjoyed it. Khaled Hosseini is a great author. Haven't written a review yet, but I will...

Will be interested in your review and I agree with you about Khaled Hosseini :)
