To balance that though both Michael and Marianne gave it 5 stars :)

[Marianne]

Yes, I liked it more than The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and I loved Perfect enough to buy it!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Certainly different reactions from different people!

[Sarah]

I'm working on the 1300 page The Count of Monte Cristo, which I can luckily take a few months to do. Also The Children of Men and The Handmaid's Tale.

Who has read the Rosie Project? It is an easy funny read suitable for the beach, plane or holiday reading.

Definitely! Only problem will be trying not to laugh out loud if you're reading in public!

I am reading the 2006 Booker prize winner The Inheritance of Loss which is well written and easy to read.

Oh, keep us up to date with your thoughts on The Count of Monte Cristo I have been debating the position of this on my TBR list (now/later).

[M.C.]

I've decided I need to read some classics, some of the books lots of people talk about but I have never actually read. I have done
and I am currently reading

Has anyone got any more suggestions of must read classics?

I read that a few years ago and I liked it, although I wouldn't say it rocked my world BUT it's one of those books that pops back into your head time and time again. In fact, I was thinking about it just this past weekend.

You're in for a treat! It was my favourite book that I read last year, and that's really saying something!

Sorry Dana, not sure what you mean about "list"?? Can you give me more info? Was it a comment I made to you a few days ago? I have some recollections of that;)

[Dana]

Sorry Brenda I am on my phone, I was referring to the comment and list you left for MC

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Dana wrote: "Sorry Brenda I am on my phone, I was referring to the comment and list you left for MC"

Ah no, wrong list Dana! He asked about "classics" and the link goes to those. The top on the list is To Kill a Mockingbird :)

Thanks Brenda, that is precisely what I was looking for.

Currently re-reading Sepulchre by Kate Mosse because I had run out of reading material. Started The Brave by Nicholas Evans as part of a Recommendation Swap. Not really my style of novel.

[Lindsey]

Hi, I'm new to the group. My first post. I'm currently reading The Charm Bracelet by Melissa Hill. It's set in New York which I'm really enjoying.

Hi, Lindsey:)

[Marianne]

Morning, Lindsey, you are up early.
The Charm Bracelet by Melissa Hill
I hope I picked the right one. (this is so anyone else on here can easily check out the book you're talking about)

[Dale]

Started All Right Here. About half way though The Buried Giant. Just needed a break from it.

[Sally906]

My at work book with me here is This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman (Sci-Fi Adventure/Romance - I am also reading The Bellamy Bird by Clare Havens (Think Enid Blyton and Arthur Randsome with time travel) and Alistair Grim's Odditorium by Gregory Funaro (Children's steampunk)

All very good books and all vying for attention to be the number one priority book :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I finished Hidden by Ann B. Harrison late last night:) 4★s

John Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors but I still haven't read this. My favorite classics are East of Eden and To Kill a Mockingbird. Both are must reads :)

I did just read The Great Gatsby and I enjoyed it.

I am reading Nest by Inga Simpson and it is so beautifully written! I am thoroughly enjoying the calmness of this book

Have you read Mr Wigg by the same author? I enjoyed Nest but adored Mr Wigg.
