OH dear ... The cats on the book cover don't look nearly as handsome as Leonnie's :)

Leonie does have suave looking cats!

Finished White Noise by Don DeLillo which I loved. Review to follow.

Just like your avi, quicker than lightning. I will read my copy before checking out your review. I know Goat Mountain by David Vann was a disturbing read....

I wasn't aware that this book had another title Arrrrgh!

The Devil's Eye
Affection
by Ian Townsend

Both the same book :/
Is there a thread where we can list books with more than one title?

[Marianne]

Just started my first read for the Feb Challenge: The Bridge by Jane Higgins

don'tcha hate that!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Yes, really annoying Marianne as I only found out when sorting through my duplicates...so at least that shows them up, if they have been put into the system.

Would like to see a thread to list them as a ready reference.

I've put the label on the two with this new title/cover Jools. But if you go to the book page each time, it shows in the "OTHER EDITIONS" when there are books which are the same, but re-titled...

Here you go! You can start Jools:)

Yeah its just that when I listed it on my tbr there was only the one, and sometime since I must have thought he had a new one and just marked it to read. So I had it down twice lol.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh well that's annoying! Librarians cleaning up I'd say:)

:) The page you have set up is great Brenda because it also lists all the titles and authors at the side :D

Yes it does Jools...that's good!

I am rading short stories, "Holiday in Cambodia" by Laura Jean McKay. I found that this author is highly praised for her writing, but I really do not like the book. Most of stories do not have good ending, it is just developing some events, like the author wants to write something, with no specific goal. And writing is quite confusing, maybe it is becuase i am not a native English speaker. I still need to finish it, but I am disappointed.

Holiday in Cambodia by Laura Jean McKay

This is not right. These are separate novels and not the same. Affection was published in 2005 and The Devils Eye in 2008. I see GoodReads needs to correct the listing for The Devils Eye. ☼♄Jülie wrote: "I wasn't aware that this book had another title Arrrrgh!

re this post, I got an email from jeniwren
"I have just read a post in your groups ( couldnt work out how to reply directly) and it seems some people are under the illusion that Affection and The Devils Eye are the same novel. This is not so and I see the listing at Good Reads is also wrong for The Devils Eye states that this was also published under the tile Affection. I have both novels on my shelf and have checked and they are different stories being published in 2005 and 2008."
FYI

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oh that's good to find out Marianne and thanks to Jeniwren! I guess that's a job for the librarians??

At least I do have another of Ian Townsend to check out ;)

Have been trying to be absent from GR so I can finish the proofreading of Resistance's paperback version, (only 200 pages to go and no skimming allowed) but....I am drinking coffee and justifying the break - and now I'm on Goodreads, just checking stuff out.

I will get back to it, I will - but I have another dozen or so threads to read first :)

The official release of the paperback of Resistance will be at Swancon in April, but I haven't got any dates for Book 3 (Frontier Defiant). There's still the editing to do - I have the first editing comments from the publisher - and then the to-ing and fro-ing that that entails.

I'll let you know, Brenda!

Brenda wrote: "I'm just about to start Runaway by Peter May"

This sounds like a good one Brenda, I have it waiting so will be interested in your opinion.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ohh have you Jools? I think it'll be good!

[Sally]

After wanting for so many years to read Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, I was very disappointed with my experience of it when I read it recently. I don't know that I've ever come across a book before whose characters were ALL either repugnant or ridiculous in my eyes. I could in all honesty only give the book 3★s.

If you're game to read it, here is my review:

That was one of the best reviews for Wuthering Heights I have read Sally, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Me too, as soon as I finish The Bridge
Of course, by that time you will have read and reviewed it, Mrs Quicker-Than-Lightning!

Great review! Another book that was forced upon us at school, and this does nothing to make me want to revisit it. My vague memories of it agree with your review.

Liam, sounds like a great book, I'm trying to find it now too. On another note, driving down the Sturt just after xmas, it bypasses Berri now. Must be bad for business, nothing like a bypass to make a tiny town even smaller!
