I finished City of Heavenly Fire last night. I really thought I had posted this earlier but I must have forgotten to hit the post button. Or maybe I had a one of those moments and posted it somewhere else altogether. Who knows? Any way this is my review:)

When I finished Deeper Water by Jessie Cole last night (review to follow closer to publication) I was not sure what to read next. I used to love Clive Cussler but overdosed on him a few years ago, hence I have 6 books here which were purchased on release, all unread! So I decided to read one of these to see if I still liked him after all this time....

I'm currently reading The Silent Sea (Oregon Files, #7) by Clive Cussler The Silent Sea which was published in 2010 (see!!) and loving it:)

I got like that with her too Michael...that's why I have heaps of hers to give away!

And yes, I am thanks!

Carolyn, I can understand that. I didn't want to read any reviews before I'd read it either

Very good so far. I loved Wire in the Blood starring Robson Green. :)

Jenni Boyd I am currently reading White Gardenia I am really enjoying it so far. This is my third book I have read of this Author and I must say I love her work and not just because she is a fellow Aussie and a female, but I love how she has the ability to make me picture the scene as if I am there in person, an art I hope to one day master. My favourite so far has been Tuscan Rose, but this one has the potential of exceeding that!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I am rereading The Shining before I go on to Doctor Sleep, and I am really glad that I decided to do that: there is so much in this book I don't remember. I'm sure I've read it but my memory is obviously much vaguer than I thought. Now I will have to track down the movie too.....I do remember Jack Nicholson being very scary in that!

Oh he was Marianne! Jack Nicholson does scary very well!

I've read the fourth book, and really enjoyed it. It's a different take, but rather intriguing, and I'm looking forwards to seeing where Brandon Sanderson takes this series.

Suz | 4428 comments I'm enjoying The Client as it's easy and I don't have to think too much. I've noticed my choices are all over the place combined with what I've got at home, what I borrow and what I add from here. Interesting mix!

Deb | 219 comments I've just started Bill Bryson's One Summer:America 1927. Think it might be rather interesting as it covers a variety of events that occurred in America in 1927.

Marina Finlayson | 285 comments Finally made it to the end of Green by Jay Lake. It was a bit of a struggle, but I liked it in the end: review is here.

Am now (much more happily) reading Havenstar, which I've wanted to read for at least eleventy billion years, but it was out of print. So happy it's been re-released!


message 9590: by [deleted user] (new)

Just started Deeper Water by Jessie Cole a local author who I heard speak at an author event last year. At about 10% in it is a very engrossing read so far - just in terms of the writing style which just carries you along with the story as if someone was recounting a few days in their life to you in an easy manner

Ok, I'm in for a group read. What about you Julie? Anyone else?

Julie and I have just started another buddy read - we're working our way through Kathryn Fox's Anya Crichton series - but I reckon we'll be done by Wednesday so could be ready to start [book:Lost & Found|22585513] after that.
