I'm reading The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters. Loving it. The build-up was drawn-out, it set the place/time/characters beautifully.

I'm only a third way into Skin by Aussie author Ilka Tampke but very much enjoying it, and there's a giveaway if anyone's interested. see https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
Gorgeous cover!

Bought this The Poppet and the Lune by Madeline Claire Franklin at the weekend with whispersync also, and am listening to it between reads. Its a wonderful children's tale, or YA...about a Witch who made a patchwork girl from the remains of the town's lost children, but died before she could give her a name. It has a few dark bits but don't they all? I think it will have a good finish :) this one is all 4 books in one....beautiful cover.

Sounds really lovely Jools.

So far so good....its quite a contrast to Hades though which I didn't get a chance to read much of at the weekend, should finish it today though :)

I'm listening to this one right now in my car. It does have a slow build. I'm dismayed at the most recent turn of events.

Just finished The Same Sky by Amanda Eyre Ward. I wouldn't recommend it.

I know, I need to get on the big computer to do that Michael...the ipad doesn't allow me to right click on the picture to get the details :/
I suppose I could try *hinting* to one of our particularly nice Mods to do it for me *hint, hint* :P

Ancillary Justice is real neat thus far.

It was nominated by RitaSkeeter as one of their top 5 of 2014, and as a result of that I've included it in my personal challenge for this year. So it has at least one big fan so far - maybe a couple more on the way?

LOL!!

The Visitors was a 5 star read for me. A great fictional read which had me reaching for the computer to read more about Egyptian tombs. I also loved the (tenuous) link to Downton Abby.

[Marianne]

Just finished Three Twisted Stories: Go Deep, Necessary Women, Remmy Rothstein Toes the Line to which I gave 5★s, but I'm a bit biased about Karin Slaughter.

I have just this second turned the last page of The Secret Life of Luke Livingstone by Charity Norman

I am absolutely blown away by this novel! It has shot to the top of my all time favourites list; I also know I'll be mulling over it before I even attempt a review! But it will follow closer to publication.

[Mish]

About to start The Promise by Tony Birch

Finished The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters and I'm sad I've finished it:( Review to come

Starting The King's Sister by Anne O'Brien today.

[Suzie]

I just finished reading A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, which popped up on someone's Summer Reading Challenge I think. I can't remember who recommended it, but I absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful story, so well told, I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed it all. One of the very few books I have rated 5 stars. So thank you :)

[Lynne]

I recently finished the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi and really enjoyed them.

This morning I've started reading Brother of the More Famous Jack, which I should be able to finish in time for ABC Bookclub on 1 March.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer. I wish I had read this book,when I was ten. It would have suited me perfectly:)

The title for this month with my local Book Club is The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. A delightful book, which I greatly enjoyed.

I read The Visitors thanks to Bette's recommendation and loved it, too :-) It's actually hard to pinpoint why I loved it, but it certainly kept my interest the whole way through.

[MaryG2E]

I added this book, Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James to my TBR list following favourable reviews from other Aussie Readers. Thanks folks, you did me a great favour. It's a great read. 4.5 ★s

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Keen to get into it now ... I actually got sidetracked and started Never Saw it Coming by Linwood Barclay. It was just the size of The Visitors that intimidated me a little (and the small font) ... but I will definitely be getting to it next :-)

Was a 5 star from me!!! He has a new book coming out this year (June) My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises

When I say new - it has been published in his country in 2013 - a translated version is going to be released.

[Sally906]

Had a flurry of finishes last night (hence my absense - but I'm sure reading is a pretty good excuse-lol)

Any how my next batch of books are:

A Small Madness by Dianne Touchell (released this month)
The Room by Jonas Karlsson (also released this month - and one of my last two books for the summer challenge)
Of Stardust by February Grace (discussion book for yahoo book group)

That should keep me quiet

I agree entirely Suzie, it was an outstanding book. It took me a little while to 'get' Ove, but once I did I adored him, and I blubbed like a baby at the end!!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin and I am SO disappointed!
