I today finished A Little Life. It took me about two weeks. Have never read a book like it, I just loved it. I can't review it yet it's just too raw. My problem is I honestly don't know what to read next. Does anyone have any suggestions about what they do when reading a very heavy book that blew you away? I have never felt like this before!!

[Marianne]

With you 100% Rita!

[Suz]

Yep sounds like a plan ladies. Ta!

Finished In Strange Worlds by Brenda Cheers - really enjoyed it now I will have to get the second book because there is a 3rd not too far away!!!


Have now picked up It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake - a paranormal mystery

[Odette]

Currently reading Hush, Little Bird by Nicole Trope. I am finding it very interesting. Just want to keep reading to find out more about the characters. However, I have a bad feeling that it is not going to end well.

Over the weekend, I read/finished The Ghost of the Mary Celeste 2★ and The Prisoner of Heaven 5★.

Started The Enchanted and am finding it a very difficult book to read. It's prompting me to ruminate: "What is it like not to feel love, to live a life unable to feel compassion? How do you scream when there is no-one to hear you?"

The Ghost of the Mary Celeste was one of the very very few books I gave 1 star to. Really didn't like it. "

I really had to push myself to finish it. It probably did only deserve 1 star: it gets an extra star from hopefully prompting people to check out Google to read about this strange occurrence and other similar 'ghost ships'.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I finished Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter very late last night! 5★s+++

Enjoyed both reviews Brenda. Will I ever get to all these good books?! I'm reading the very light Lucy in the Sky which is fun after a heavy read.

You could well do:) Thanks! Two fabulous psychological thrillers....excellent stuff!

Light is good after heavy, that's for sure:)

Thanks, Phrynne! Glad you liked it.

I stayed up late last night reading Riptide by Dawn Lee McKenna (which is so new it doesn't seem to have any details on the Goodreads page yet). It was a solid 4 stars, and I enjoyed it even more than the first one, Low Tide. An interesting suspense series featuring a female detective.

Just started reading my copy yesterday Marinne so I'll check out yours and Jools reviews when I finish it. Enjoying it so far!

[K]

I haven't been doing much reading lately, so I'm 3 books behind in my Goodreads challenge. :(

[Ryan]

Me neither Kiera. I am really enjoying The Anubis Gates but I've been so busy with study that it's taken me over two weeks to read three quarters of it. Consequently I am also three books behind schedule. I might have to dip into a couple of novellas to catch up.

The term 'twice born' is an interesting and very old one. In Greek mythology, Dionysus, the son of the god Zeus and the mortal woman, Semele, is twice born. Semele is killed by Zeus' lightning bolts while Dionysus is still in her womb. Dionysus is rescued and undergoes a second birth from Zeus after developing in his thigh.

Have you got a mid year break now Ryan so you can enjoy reading again for a few weeks?

I finished The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld 5★ What a book, what a story - my soul felt numb by the end of it.

Just finished Caroline Kepnes latest to be released in Sept Hidden Bodies. So twisted but so good. Full review closer to publication.

About to start My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises by Fredrik Backman.

This week is a good reading week, I can feel it in my bones!

I am reading : BEGAT - The King James Bible and the English Language. Its very interesting how Biblical words and phrases, and adaptations of these, have become part of the English language even to the modern day.
