I finished Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway. I stayed up far too late in order to finish it and will be feeling very tired today:)

I'm on Children of God by Mary Doria Russell. So far it's very good. It's my Jan Return (Returns & Exchanges Challenge) and I'm running out of time...

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

The Scar finished - just as brilliant as Perdido Street Station. Gushing mini-review here.

Two full days of other activities is playing havoc with my currently reading book!!! Plus the fact that it needs good solid concentration! Will get back into it tonight:)

There you go Helen:)

[Helen]

Thanks Brenda, I finally worked it out after five edits. Getting there :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Well at least it worked:)

[Helen]

Thanks Michael. I'm nervous now that I've seen your last post ... I hope you like The Fourth Reich Gee I manage to add my own book link first time :) Lucky I practiced on Avery

[Sally]

Am just about to start Empire Day by Diane Armstrong for my challenge/s. I'm quite looking forward to this one :) a good one for Australia Day ;)

[Katie]

I'm currently reading Sleeping Dogs by Chris Simms (it's not on the Goodreads list). It's the last book in his DI Jon Spicer series and sadly, it has lost my interest. I really loved the rest of the series, especially the last one I read, Cut Adrift which I couldn't put down. I would recommend all the other books in the series without hesitation, but for some reason this one is just not working. I will try and get through it though, I hate half reading something!

[Katie]

Ah, there it is! Thanks Michael!

I've just competed my review for This House of Grief by Helen Garner - an intense trial and book that will stay with me for a long time.

Oh, no, those other activities can be a worry when they interfere with reading Brenda.

Currently reading The turning Tide.

Empire Day is on 24th May.
I only know this obscure fact because it's also my birthday and as a child I once looked up a list so see if anything important had happened on my birthday and Empire Day was the best they could come up with!

So, I finally finished The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

For me - a two star read, sadly. It didn't grip me or pull me in. Here's my review if you're wondering. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

No - but I've noticed readers talking about it a few times and have added to the wish list. Let us know what you think Jools :)

I've been wondering about that one. I keep seeing everyone talking about it but it doesn't look particularly good.

Really seems to have polarised people Leonie. I'm waiting for my hubby to finish reading it before I get to it, but could be some time as he's struggling with it.

[Leonie]

I'll be interested to hear what you think - the vast majority of people loved it.

I'm afraid I couldn't get into either, neither could my partner. But I've loved other books by Richard Flanagan

I wonder if this will help Dale. I assume you are using the Goodreads App on your iPad. I found that to be a bit useless so I loaded Goodreads through the internet provider (in my case Google Chrome). This gives me all the same abilities as on my PC at home.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I also do that on my phone - hit the search button, type in Goodreads and up it comes. I then can go merrily from there:)

Thanks Phrynne, no, I don't have the app. And don't intend downloading any apps after a recent experience, so will just have to muddle through when I use it.

But that's the thing Dale - we DON'T use the app...just google and search...

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

On my ipad I open into goodreads.com straight from the links in my emails...brings me straight into here where I just stay logged on all the time. No messing around with passwords etc.
I just close each tab as I leave and click onto the next email link...or sometimes for expediency I check the "g" at the top of the page for new posts.

If you get email updates of new posts then just click on the blue link that says: "read the comment on goodreads". It will bring you to that post.

[Sharon]

Dale - I use my IPad for Goodreads and I do it through Safrari which is an app that will already be on your iPad. You will not have to download an app as it should already be on your iPad. Just press on Safari and at the top type in Goodreads and from there you will press sign in just as you would on your computer and this will bring up everything on Goodreads just like on your computer. Hope this helps :)

I have just finished Descent by Tim Johnston

I am blown away by this book! It is so profound - lyrical and beautifully written. I'm going to mull for sometime before I write my review. I definitely wish I could give it more than 5 stars...

Thanks all for your attempts to help this dumbo. We shall see what happens next time I get near it.

I was too lazy to walk to the next room and get my current read so I picked up a nearby library book to read while I ate my sandwhich at lunch - well I was sucked in from the very first page - it is great!

The Iron Trial a joint effort by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black is about a young boy who has inherited magical powers from his two parents. The book opened with a prologue where a heap of 'good' magical people were slaughtered including Callum's mother - he was the sole survivor. Now he has to go and do a series of tests to see if he will be admitted into the Magistraium for Mage training. His dad has gone into meltdown and insists that Callum does his best to fail - not a difficult ask as Callum has destroyed two tests so far. Am only a couple of chapters in and it is great!!

Yes, yes there are going to be Harry Potter comparisons - but what teen magical person who goes to a magic school isn't?

I received a paperback ARC months ago Carolyn and had only just decided to read it. It's not one you can read through quickly; the writing is so full of lyrical detail that it's astounding. I don't think I've ever read a book quite like it!

Wow...high praise Brenda!!! I think we'll all want this one now!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

As usual, I hope those who read it have the same experience I have - but if I could give it more than 5 stars I would:)
