Anyone who would like to would be advised to start at the first one though, wouldn't you think Michael? The character build up is good to follow...

I'm reading a 50-year Silence but it's moving a little slow for my taste.

Following some great reviews by other Goodreads members, I'm reading Sunset Ridge. I recently changed jobs and now I spend about two hours a day on public transport. It's a great opportunity to catch up on my reading, so I've been getting through quite a few books, however with this one, I'm even reading through my lunch break as I can't seem to put it down!

Thanks Brenda! I'm so glad someone told me about Goodreads. I'm really enjoying the reviews and recommendations by other members. I've already discovered new authors I love.

Definitely, Brenda! I'll probably start with the rest of the Pandora series then check out the reviews of the others doing the challenge. Hopefully I can get through a few. It's my favourite genre

Finished Daughter by Jane Shemilt late last night - 3★s

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Mish]

I just finished last night The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro - It was readable and so beautifully told but the plot was a bit tame for my liking. I'll have to post my full review closer to publication date.

About to start Laurinda by Alice Pung -

[Leonie]

I've recently enjoyed reading Ambassador 2: Raising Hell by Patty Jansen.

Think your response was similar to mine Mish. I have already posted my review though. I had no idea when publication date is and when I contacted The Reading Room one other time they said unless it clearly states an embargo date whioch my letter did not, I am free to post the review whenever.That reminds me I need to head over to the reading room.

yes we did have similar views with this book Dale.

Oh and thanks for the info. I received my book from The Reading Room too. So if that's the case, I will type it up tomorrow and post it :)

I get the feeling it will be a book on which opinions are divided.

Katie wrote: "I am reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"

I've only seen the movie Katie. It was just too sad and devastating. I'm not sure if I could read the book but good luck with it :)

Oh my goodness, I'm telling you about a book I finished more than a week ago for Lethal by Sandra Brown. Loved it. Here's my review, definite 5 stars:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now onto Calling Me Home which a few of my GR friends loved, but am only about 30 pages through in a week so I'm not feeling it. I actually typed in the Jodie Piccoult novel of a similar name, I don't even know the name of the book I'm reading, things can't be good!(Lack of reading time which should hopefully rectify with the last of my kids back to school on Monday..)

Can't wait to see if you enjoy this one Mish, I loooved it.

[Sally906]

I am reading:

Mars Evacuees by Sophia McDougall - a middle school level I would think - to young for YA and too old for children - might have to create a new shelf. Anyhow, I am really enjoying it

Also reading Waistcoats & Weaponry by Gail Carriger a YA series I really enjoy, and hanging out for the first in her new series due out in March (I have it on pre-order)

and finally I am reading an ARC (although it is published now) Alistair Grim's Odditorium by Gregory Funaro which I am struggling with a bit - I guess with a word Odditorium in the title it IS a little odd, not quite 1/4 of the way in yet so it may pick up.

I'm about to start my February Challenge book, The Giver.

I'm hoping it lifts me out of the slump the last two books I read put me into.

Lol okay. However, I require a book recommendation, one you found difficult to put down and under 400 pages (all mine of late have been over 400 pages) to get me out of the slump!
