For some reason Sorcerer's Stone is the default edition despite the the book being written and named in England...

Believe it or not but I haven't read The Shining ......... but I am thinking maybe I should have read that first to understand the character Dan a little better.

[B the BookAddict]

Characters overlapping between books, but not in a series, always make me feel like the people/characters are more real. An odd perception of mine but one I do have.

Rosamunde Pilcher's The Shell Seekers and September have share some of the same characters.

I'm very much enjoying The Sunnyvale Girls and reminded of Bread with Seven Crusts, a book I loved

Think this is going to be a fairly evenly paced read - The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters

Are you enjoying it Jen?

Are you enjoying it Jen?"

Am only about 45 pages in ... it's okay not really anything much happening at the moment except for the paying guests arriving.

About 2/3 of the way through The City & the City - really enjoying it, cheers for the recommendation Michael :P he comes up with such weird concepts.

Good to know. I've got this one on my shelf to read

[Sharon]

I finished: The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks 4★

[Tango]

I'm about halfway through The Reader. It is very simply written, but the story is compelling so far and about to get more so.

[Sally]

I recently read Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson and was completely and utterly captivated! It's not often the second book in a series is better than the first. This one gets a rare 5★s from me.

Here is my review:

[Ernest]

I recently finished 1984 by George Orwell. It was such a powerful book, but I could only read it in small doses as I found it quite dense, had lots to think about, was eerily prescient and at times, was uncomfortably close to reality.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished The Girl with All the Gifts. It was okay but not as good as I was expecting.

Good review Phrynne. Will bump down on my to-read list a bit :P

I really need to read that book, but it is a little mixed with reviews

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Just finished The City & the City - god that was good.

Review here. I need to get back in the habit of reviewing, I'm out of practice.

Glad you liked it, I'm with you. I was getting good at reviewing but took 6 weeks off and now I suck again

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

My review for Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey 3★s (I debated between 2.5 and 3 here!)

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

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Yep :P

Now onto The Stepford Wives, of all things. Forgot I even had it.

[Michele]

I have just started Winter of the World by Ken Follett

[Michael]

It's true, I went from writing every day to not writing at all. I'm hoping to be back in the habit again soon

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I finished Until You're Mine by Samantha Hayes late last night 4★s

[Marianne]

As predicted by Aussie Readers, I am loving Nest

Great Marianne!!

[Elaine]

Brenda, I am so glad you enjoyed Until You're Mine. That very last sentence is just such a shocker LOL.
I started The Skeleton Road yesterday, and so far I am really enjoying it. Not quite what I normally read, so taking me out of my comfort zone a bit.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Val McDermid in a great author! I haven't read many though I have a few here...waiting...

Thanks! I couldn't believe my eyes!!!

My favourite book of this year so far :-)

[Dana]

I have finished reading (at 1am this morning) Winter Wonderland. A fairly simple romance set in Quebec during winter. I almost put this down in the opening pages, but stuck it out for what ended up being a fun, quick, chic lit read. 3 stars with lots of references to maple syrup.

I have just finished reading The Rhyme's Library another 3 star read. An enjoyable enough mystery.

Am currently reading The Paying Guests and After I'm Gone

[Sharon]

Can you please wake up your trusty coin, Brenda. I'm undecided between Girl 43 by Maree Giles or Country at Heart by Mandy Magro

Ditto for me after I finish Stepford Wives - The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley or The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness?

Country at Heart Sharon:) I couldn't find it.....haven't used it for awhile;)

The Ask and the Answer for you Liam:)

[Sharon]

Thanks Brenda :)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Cheers :P

[Sally906]

I have just finished Wattle Creek by Fiona McCallum and am still reading Unforgivable by Sharon Robards and Of Merlot & Murder by Joni Folger. Then my at work book is Love, Desire and Betrayal by Margaret Lynette Sharp.

They are all really good!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

The Stepford Wives finished, in one sitting - possibly the most unsettling thing I've ever read. Aren't boys just the meanest, girls!?

Also the mockery came hard and fast when mum noticed what I was reading. Such a loving relationship.

If you haven't already read it then try Rosemary's Baby as well:)

I haven't read this one - is one of those books you keep saying that you should. Saw the movie with Nicole Kidman, was ok but not great - spent most of it trying to decide if it was a spoof!!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Yeah the movies are awful from what I've heard. The book is fairly well done.

[Marianne]

Almost finished Nest but every time I tried to read a bit today (like in the waiting room when I took Mum to the Doctor) we got called before I'd read 2 lines. Nice not to have to wait, but still....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I read lots of my current read Night Drop while at the hairdresser this morning:)

[Leonie]

I'm reading Brent Weeks The Broken Eye. Fortunately I had a really long train trip yesterday and am now halfway through it :)

[Sharon]

I'm currently reading Country at Heart by Mandy Magro which I'm quite enjoying.

[Sally906]

That's her latest one isn't it?

@sally906 Glad to hear that to someone else, the word 'spoof' came to mind about the movie of the Stepford Wives.

Yes it is, Sally :)
