I'm currently reading Dressing the Dragon by Rinelle Grey - it's a novella; when I'm done I'm going to start The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood

[Ryan]

I finished Sandkings. It was very good and very short and now I'm reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. I hope it's as good as the movie it inspired.

[Jane]

HI, I haven't been on Goodreads for ages. I have just finished reading 'Song Bird' by Christine M Knight. I love character-driven stories and Knight writes great ones.

I have just finished The Rosie Project and Adrift which I will review soon.

Starting Go Set a Watchman and Flying Too High

[Virginia]

I reading a quirky crime novel set in Kiribati in the Pacific. Food of Ghosts by Marianne Wheelaghan So far there's a great sense of place, some weird superstition around the grisly murder and a female protagonist with unusual flaws.

[K]

I am flying through right now. I don't usually read erotica- I always think of it as super trashy garbage- but this one actually has a good story and characters behind it too! It's a good little freebie I got iBooks.

[Carolyn]

For anyone interested in medical, non-fiction, I thought this book on the day in a life of a modern nurse in a US hospital was very good:
The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives by Theresa Brown 5★

i started the second book in the Level 26 series...So far creepy and good! But i need to finish Rosie Effect..grrr!!

[MaryG2E]

Currently reading Red Queen by Honey Brown. Talk about a psychological thriller! I'm really, seriously tense at the moment. Have to put down the book and take a little breather! Remarkable.

[K]

I finished in 24 hours and I gave it 5 stars. Wow, I actually loved this! And not because of its more gratuitous parts, but because I could really relate to Myrna's situation with her ex and I think it's so cool that she found someone like Brian to heal her. I feel like he helped me to heal a little, too!

[Neko]

i also started reading Risk by Fleur Ferris tonight..3 books on the go.

[B the BookAddict]

I have just picked up my brand new hardcover copy of Infinite Home by Kathleen Alcott. I can tell from the very first paragraph that this is going to be an exceptional novel. The reviews of Diane S, Larry and Terri in AAB lead me to purchase the book. All the library books on my coffee table have taken a back seat, I'm starting my new book today.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Enjoy Bette:)

It sounds good Bette.

I have started reading Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin which was recommended to me by Suzanne and as a part of my Spring challenge ... Good so far :)

[Mikana]

Currently reading Carmilla : The Wolves of Styria as I won a signed copy of The Damnation Game by this author, and I wanted to get a taste for his writing style. I'm only 100 pages in so far, and after a slow start it's starting to get intriguing.

[Ryan]

Just started Sukkwan Island by David Vann.

[Sally906]

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is amazing!

AHH it's lovely when a book is delivered to your kindle!! :D

[Ryan]

I just started Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.

[Kate]

I've recently finished 'Song Bird' by Christine M Knight. It was a most engaging read. I loved every reading minute. I have also read its sequel 'Life Song', another wonderful character-driven story.

On a related matter, I continue to be amazed that books purchased through the Book Depository UK cost less including postage than one ordered in Australia. Australia Post needs to seriously review their price structure - lower prices mean more users.

[Ryan]

You can only lower your prices so far before you're operating a charity rather than a business.

I finished The Lottery and now onto A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le Guin. I've been looking forward to this one for a long time.

I gave each of the first three Earthsea books 5 stars but then I stopped reading them. I wonder why. Must have just been distracted.

[Ryan]

I'm only a few pages in - he's hanging out with his aunt - but it is awesome so far.

I read them years and years ago, and I suspect that there were only three books then...

I'm pretty sure it was called the Earthsea trilogy when I read it ( in ancient times)!

[B the BookAddict]

Carolyn, you sound like my middle niece, aged 10, who says to me: "years and years and years ago, Auntie, when you were a girl..."

[Carolyn]

Aah the young! They can never imagine being as old as us (even when we're still middle aged)

[B the BookAddict]

Getting stuck into Palace of Tears by Aussie writer Julian Leatherdale

He is slowly setting up the story but his writing is beautiful. set in 2013 but recalling history from 1903 onwards with flashbacks I am really enjoying it - despite the fact that it is almost 600 pages long.

Actually it is a testimony to how well he writes that he is sustaining my interest. I'm loving it, and berating myself for keeping putting it off!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Glad to hear Sally! I've had that one in my thoughts too for awhile...it's the page count that's off putting;)

The print is quite large (although not a large print book, if that makes sense) which I think contributes to its size - but also contributes to its ease of reading :)

That's also good to know. I have trouble with the very small print in some books now:(

[Sally906]

Me too - that's were the electronic readers can come into their own - you can set the font to the size you need :)
