I am still happily reading my way through The Patrick Melrose Novels. On number four now and it is really good.

Same when I heard her years ago at Sydney writers festival. That was when I first read one of her books. Have read most since then.

[MaryG2E]

I have just finished 'Wool' by Hugh Howey. It is premised on the creation of an interesting dystopian world. I greatly enjoyed it.

Thanks for your review Michael. Annie Hauxhall's books are on my TBR list, very near the top in fact!

Interesting to read your review Brenda. I've read nearly all of the Jack Reacher books, and would call myself a fan, but I have been a little underwhelmed the latest issues.

[Sally906]

Enjoying the comments you are virtually the funniest bunch I've ever known. Heaven help,the general public if we ever managed to be in a room at the same time!

I have read them all, and am a big fan. I buy them the minute they hit the shops. But I really couldn't take to this one:( And won't be buying the paperback!

[Carolyn]

I've started reading The Girl with All the Gifts. It's not at all what I was expecting from the title but it's certainly interesting!

I'll be VERY interested in your thoughts when you're finished Carolyn!

I've heard some good things about this but won't be reading it as some darling at work gave the whole plot away for me :(

I'm currently reading Before Nightfall by Aussie author Rachel Amphlett and really enjoying it!

I hope you strangled them Sally! Or put something nasty in their coffee :D

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down! :D

[★ Jess]

Havent had the chance to read many novels lately...Too many readings for uni that dont leave me with enough time/effort unfortunately. Graphic novels have been the way to go so far. Im currently reading The Sandman, Vol. 8: Worlds' End by the glorious Neil Gaiman.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Finished number four in the The Patrick Melrose Novels - Mother's Milk. So enjoyable but now I have to wait for book five to arrive from BD.

I didn't say anything. Just turned and walked away. I haven't asked her what she is reading since. Although my boss says I should wait until she reads a book I've read and helpfully tell her the ending. Sadly I'm not that nasty :)

I can! That's why I'm really careful reading reviews before I get a book. Once I didn't even get to the reviews, I was scrolling down the Amazon page to look at something about the author, and the first quote pulled out from reviews by the top of the section told what happened to the main character at the end! That sucked...

Though in person, yeah, that I haven't experienced.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I also finished Writing Home by John Zanetti this morning. 4.5★s

Sounds good Brenda!

I see this can be downloaded free from the Smashwords link on John Zanetti's author page, so it's already on my kindle.

Thanks John - look forward to reading it :)

You're not alone. I spent a lot of time this week playing Minecraft.

[Angela]

I tried so hard to read A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing but I couldn't do it. My head is not in the right place.

So I am going to read Unreal! by Paul Jennings - and if that doesn't cheer me up then I really am a lost cause haha!

[Sharon]

I finished: Addition by Toni Jordan 3★

I finished: Dear Ruth by Bronwyn Parry 4★

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Tango]

I'm part way through a very disturbing book called The Book of Night Women. It is set in Jamaica and depicts the
brutal treatment of African slaves on the sugar plantations. It is written in vernacular which takes a while to get used to but is quite original and engaging.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs. It was good. If you follow the series you must read this one - big event at the end:)

[Michael]

currently reading How to Build a Girl, a little different but I'm really enjoying it. Came home from holidays with heaps of bookish mail, so I won't run out of books to read anytime soon.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

September at last! Starting Mr Wigg at lunch time:)

[Angela]

Have also started Holiday in Cambodia, a book of short stories by local Melbourne writer Laura Jean McKay.

Don't forget to post all the books you received in the other thread so we can be suitably jealous!
