I just read an absolutely delightful and fun novella - Ever After by Anya Wylde 5★s

Finished Citadel Labyrinth #3 by Kate Mosse 3★ I found this novel a bit too long and that's odd for me because I adore long stories. But the length of the book devalued the element of suspense that I usually feel in WWII Resistance stories; it was just too dragged out.

I've started Labyrinth #1 called Labyrinth.

[Sally906]

I am still reading The Maxwell Sisters by Loretta Hill which I am really enjoying.

Today I will be starting The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce ( hoping I like it as much as everyone else has because I have the next one The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy: A Novel on order at the library!)
I am also going to start Beyond the Dark by Angela Knight et al - a paranormal romance anthology.

An eclectic start to the year :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Enjoy Sally!

I started Fear the Darkness: A Thriller by Becky Masterman this morning - not far in yet...

[Rosie]

I have just started reading Outback Dreams

It is good so far.

I have that one to read for the Annual Challenge this year too Rosie:) Enjoy!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I started Us by David Nicholls this morning and I am half way already. It is so good! It has made me laugh out loud many times and nearly cry once or twice. It reminds me very much of The Rosie Project.

It was a Christmas present for me too. I just started reading it today.

Just finished Quota, 3.5 stars, would have loved to have liked it a little more. Happy to have found another Aussie author though!

Me too. In my top 5 for 2014. Actually I've enjoyed all his books so far.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Us by David Nicholls and like Marianne and Andrea I loved it!

Suzanne, I obviously liked it more than you did, although it certainly didn't go where I expected. What did your Dad think of it?

I was wondering what you thought of the end too Marianne, I wasn't expecting it either. He liked it too, but when I saw him at Christmas it had been too long since he'd read it and lost the excitement of telling me what he'd thought, and also had probably read too many since! Candice Fox was the latest author he raved about, he thought the story of her not conforming to Navy life was amusing as he was in the Navy when I was very young.

Any similarity to The Rosie Project would be great Phrynne, I haven't read any by this author, but have One Day in my pile here on holidays.

[Marianne]

FYI One Day is nothing like The Rosie Project
I can see where Phrynne's comment about being reminded of that while reading Us comes from, though

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

That's right Marianne. The main character in Us is an over achiever with poor social skills a bit like Don and his wife has a lot of the same behaviours as Rosie. The humour comes from the same place too.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I finished Fear the Darkness: A Thriller by Becky Masterman in the early hours of this morning! A chilling thriller; I couldn't put it down! My review will follow closer to publication date:)

I will be interested to see how she works Queenie's side of the story out knowing the ending of Henry's story. Won't say more ;)

Yes, I thought I saw you post that, so that's a reserve worth collecting when it comes in!
She works it in very well, IMHO

I usually have 3 or 4 books on the go - I don't always remember to have them on my currently reading though :)

[Marianne]

I have 5 on my currently reading, but two are finished, I just have to get around to writing my review...instead of chatting here!

[Mish]

Just finished The Mapmaker's Children - fascinating story that weaves fact & fiction about the children of an abolitionist, John Brown. I really enjoyed it - 4 stars

Next up is This House of Grief by Helen Garner - this book will fit into 3 of my reading challenges :)

[Amanda]

I'm halfway through The Giver by Lois Lowry, which I started yesterday. Next on my list is a reread if the first five of The Last Thirteen books by James Phelan and then to finish the other 8 of them.

[Amanda]

Thanks Michael, I'm using the app on my phone and don't think I can tag things like that.

Christmas Magic was fun, but I expected more 'Christmas' from it. Not many Chrissy stories in there at all, unfortunately.
