Hi Marianne, I have fixed the book for you:) Linked on the RHS under 'other editions' is the old book title, but I have left a message in the librarian group for someone with more expertise than me to fix that one! (It might be fixed by the time you go there!)

[Maggie]

March 23 2012.
Maybe a week or so later for us Aussies.
They finished filming a few days ago.
Here is an image of Katniss and Gale. I am happy with it:

I'm about to start The Killing Hour by Lisa Gardner.

[★ Jess]

Gosh, I was totally against Liam Hemsworth being cast as Gale but...*swoon*.

Oh Oh Oh. Sam Di Britto's Hello Darkness. Sam was probably a couple of years behind me at school and writes about where I grew up in the time I did it. As a consequence of that and incredible 'licking toasters in the bath' turns of phrase I loved it.

Must say though someone did a rough edit on the Amazon copy. A change all instruction changed the word 'four' to 'flour' so there are lots of references to, you guessed it, 'flour o'clock'. I hope someone has told Sam - he'd be horrified.

Just finished The Golden Compass. It was OK. I have had to read in little bits because of being so busy with other things, so maybe that made it seem slow, but otherwise a good book.

[Khenan]

Just finished The Baby in the Icebox and Other Short Fiction. Really good, but quite surprising how different some of them were to the ones i know of his (the postman, double indemnity, mildred pierce)... great read overall :)

I'm currently reading Dead Until Dark, I was curious to see what it's like since I have 16 friends and 4 followers that have read it. I do enjoy the TV series and so far it seems very much the same.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

The visual aspect helps :P

So it's like the Dexter books then, first book and season the same, then whole different direction?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm sorry, I couldn't read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I got about 45 pages in, had already started skimming before then...so incredibly boring IMO, but I appreciate others love it.

I have started Vanish by Tess Gerritsen which is much more my cup of tea!

Did mine in too Carmel!!! Couldn't handle it...I want entertainment!!!

[Michael]

It's not really worth the effort, there are so many other books out there to read

[Geoff]

I just finsished 'The Big Short' all about the subprime problem of 2008 - see my comments on Goodreads.
Now on to The Help (bought as a prsent recently) not sure if it is my cup of tea, but will keep going for a few more chapters.
cheers

I've had a mammoth read the last few days - The Art of the Islamic Garden 5 stars, Morocco: Dream Destinations Straight from 1,001 Arabian Nights 5 stars, Let the garden go; a romantic approach to gardening 3 stars, and still reading (altho nearly finished) Who Fears Death.
I'm thinking of starting my spring challenge with Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution.

Agreed KL, that's why I didn't pursue it!

How do I mark it any other way? I couldn't find what else to do....

[Michael]

Under 'My Books' click the edit bookshelves button up the top left. Go to the bottom and create a bookshelf thats called Abandoned or Couldn't Finish or something like that. Then find that book shelf and mark it as exclusive

Thanks KL...you learn something new every day:) I've taken 3 of my 'read' ones and put in there, but that's all there's been this year!

[Michael]

Go for it, Carmel.

I like to do it that way, so it makes my stats look right

Great review Michael!

[Michael]

Just started The Slap. So far, so good

[Michael]

I'm actually enjoying it, I like the different perspectives of the characters. While most of the characters are annoying (especially the men) it's interesting to see how peoples perspectives don't match the others version of the events.

[Michael]

Except Mish and Gail

[★ Jess]

Ive got it at home. Mum said it was a great story, but terribly written. Apparently there is bucket loads of swearing.

[Khenan]

Finally after many years i have started my first Terry Pratchett(next to start on Isaac Asimov) book :D Havn't got around to reading his as i only ever found #17 and #20 or so when looking in the library :P Decided to go through the Discworld series so its The Color of Magic to start off with. Great book so far :D really enjoying it..shame it will add 30+ books to my TBR like that :(

Yeah I’m one of the few that really like it. Not many of my friends actually managed to finish it…..they couldn’t get past Harry’s chapter. If you’re interested, I’ve just written something down in my review as to why I like it so much……It’s only very brief though :)

[Laurel]

I've just finished reading Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler.
Liam Pennywell has spent most of his life dodging issues and skirting adventure when suddenly at 60, after two failed marriages and three adult children, he meets a younger woman.
A wonderful readable book. I loved the character of four year Jonah, Liam's grandson, who makes a brief appearance in the book.

[Dee-Ann]

Have started reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter and Smokin' Seventeen.

[David]

Half way through The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. One of the best books I've read for a while. It would take an absolute literary disaster in the second half not to make it to my favourite books list.

That said, I'm putting it aside to read something else - in honour of BANNED BOOK WEEK, I have decided to read The Satanic Verses.

[Michael]

I'm reading 1984 for banned book week

[★ Jess]

Me too!

I attempted The Satanic Versesa few years ago to find out what all the fuss had been about. I don't think I got past the first 2 chapters. Ho hum!
