Oh I LOVE Juliet Marillier! She is an amazing YA writer.

I have finished Burial Rites and think I will go for The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

Libriomancer has been sitting on my coffee table with a bookmark in it for a couple of weeks now. I was enjoying it but got distracted by a visit to the book shop, and have read half a dozen other things in the meantime, most notably Rachel Bach's Paradox trilogy (first one is Fortune's Pawn). If you like space opera, they're great fun.

Last night I started: Girl 43 by Maree Giles

Enjoying it so far.

I began reading Sophie's Choice by William Styron a few days ago. So far I'm loving the writing - learning lots of new words - and the story is developing at a nice pace.

[Mish]

I've just finished Us and like Marianne, I thought it’s absolutely fabulous.

Hilarious, and sometime sad, and if you’ve been in a relationship/marriage with the same person for over 20 year, you’ll find some aspects of the book surprisingly relatable and honest. I've given it 5 stars.

[Mish]

My next book is Barracuda by Christos Tsiolkas

I think I'm the only reader that hasn't enjoyed this book - maybe in another mood I might pick it up and give it another try sometime ...

Just finished The Tea Chest, it was a lovely book, just not one that 'grabbed me' but still enjoyed. Here's my review:

It's LOL hilarious Brenda. Don't read it in public though, those funny bits will sneak up on you, and won't be able to stop laughing :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! OK I'll remember that, thanks Mish:)

[Lisa]

Currently reading The Mirk and Midnight Hour. It's a YA book based on the Tam Lyn legend, set in the south during the American Civil War. It's quite good :)

I just finished reading the other two books in the trilogy of THE STRAIN & they were just as exciting as the first book. Even though the books are close to 500 pages each I read them like they were only 100 pages long! That's how good the suspense is in them. I've been a fan of Guillermo Del Toro for some time now but of his movies & this is a first time for me to read something he's written. I give him a 5 star rating. Now I'm finishing up a book by Ann Benson titled, THE PLAGUE TALES & it's a very suspenseful tale! it jumps between the 1300's & modern day with ease & I find myself rushing on to the next page to find out what's happening with the different characters in their day & age. It's a great read you don't want to miss out on. Does anyone know a good Aussie Mystery book?

I started and finished today The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman 4.5★s

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Set about and "organised" my bookshelves today - which amounts to buying a new bookshelf and making sure my books fit, and getting rid of a bunch of older stuff from the library or Savers etc.

Still not happy with it :/ wish I had one big bookcase rather than five smaller ones.

No pressure on me or anything ;)
