 I'm reading Trapped by Kevin Hearne at the moment. Well, listening to it in the car. I have a bit of a crush on the voice actor. :)

Great review Marianne, I'm looking forward to starting this one soon.
 I'm reading Indulge: Sensual Tales of Steampunk and Fantasyby Jenny Schwartz. I've nearly finished the first novella in the book.

Although we all know that a bit of angst can make for a great story, sometimes it seems as if to be considered 'great' a book has to be horrible. No wonder so few kids enjoy English.

Glad he's liking that series. The subject fascinates me but not by Iggulden! I don't think I'll be reading any more of his books. I found the War of the Roses series to be plot driven rather than character and that's a style I never really enjoy.

 Although I'm still going on In Falling Snow (and enjoying it), I have started on a Christmassy read - Christmas with Anne and Other Holiday Stories by L.M. Montgomery. It's actually a junior fiction book, but the short stories are very sweet, cozy Christmas stories, which I am flying through and will probably finish later today!

 I've just started This House of Grief by Helen Garner. I'm only 15 pages in, and it's already difficult to read - her nonfiction writing always provokes such strong emotional responses

No, not unless it wore off with all the users. Mine is a library copy, Bette.I couldn't find your review. Apart from the cover, what did you think of this book?

As always, Brenda, a great review. I couldn't resist adding it to my already unwieldy TBR list. :)

Now reading a book of short stories by Cathy Kelly, a bit of a contrast to this one ;)

Suzanne, if you go to your review, in the review box in the top right hand corner (very faint) you will see "edit". Click on that and copy and paste your review which went into the comment box into the review box, if you want to.. Then press "save" after you've done that and it'll appear where it should:)

Sadly, I did not like it, Dale. But I think my opinion could have been affected by the horrid coating on the cover.
 I ended up giving it 3 stars, Bette, as there were some aspects I thought were good but others I found annoying.
