That's a shame, never mind, at least you enjoyed it:)

I really like The Hunger Games add on the side of this page :D

[Mish]

I wasn’t able to finish Rhubarb.Unfortunately the writing style didn’t suit me.

I'm now in the middle of reading The Long Song and it's going well for me so far.

[Neko]

I gotta say this book is addictive, highly enjoying it.

I'm really liking it Dee-Ann. I'm three-quarters of the way through it and I am actually looking forward to my after work bus ride so that I can keep reading. :)

Today in drama we finished the read through of a play called "I'll show you yours" (dodgy as it sounds). We were hoping we'd like the script and do it for our semesters performance, but it was horrible. When we were done the teacher said: "Its like this guy took a dump on some paper and called it a script."
its like the fourth script we've reading in six weeks for drama, and are no closer to finding a good one.

Do you need to perform a script that is already done? Couldn;t you make your own but perhaps on something that's already been done, so it is your take on it? I did this in drama class and it worked wonderfully.

Just finished Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff as part of my Autumn challenge AND March challenge - what an awesome book! Can't recommend it enough especially if you're into historical fiction (only this is non fiction), ancient Egypt and Roman history, and generally obsessed with strong female figures in history...!

Here's my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now wondering what to read next...

[Brittany]

Started reading To Kill A Mocking Bird last night, only about 20 or so pages in but it already has promise :)

To Kill a Mockingbird is a brilliant book Brittany! Enjoy!!

[Adhityani]

I just finished book #3 for March non fiction challenge and a book that a gazillion people urged me to read since I took up running... Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.

I am a Murakami fangirl and obsessed with running (typical with delirious newbies)... So it was five stars to me, no surprises there.

I'm currently reading Go Ask Alice by Anonymous and Death of A Guru: A Hindu Comes to Christ by Rabindranath R. Maharaj. They are both quite interesting.

Great review Michael!

What I am reading at the moment -and I am so excited about it- was a birthday present;
The Forgotten Islands

It is a really cool story of the authors love affair with Islands and how it took him to the islands of the Bass Strait, difficult and expensive to reach and very isolated. I have always been fascinated by the, and I am rationing this book chapter by chapter...

[Fiona]

Sherri wrote: "I'm currently reading Go Ask Alice by Anonymous "

Wow! That's a blast from the past! I remember reading that when I was about 14, for Year 8 English class. I don't remember the details of it, but I remember being horrified.

And speaking of YA literature, I've finished The Hunger Games and am now halfway through Catching Fire, book 2 in the trilogy.

[Dee-Ann]

Started reading One Foot in the Grave and really enjoying it. This series is paranormal fun.

[Sherri]

Fiona, The Hunger Games was a great trilogy! A friend got me the first two for Christmas of 2010 and I remember waiting so long for the third! Now I'm hoping someone in my family will take me to see the movie when it comes out as a birthday present seens how it comes out a few days before my birthday! :D

[Mish]

I just finished it's a very interesting but sad tale about slavery in Jamaica in the 1800. I liked it but there were parts were it was a bit rushed - 3 stars

I'm currently in the middle of for my Non Fiction challenge

Sherri, I'm looking forward to the Hunger Games movie too. My 17 year old got me to read the books because she enjoyed them so much and wanted to discuss them with me.

[Brittany]

Started Jane Eyre today :)

[Deb]

I was very impressed with The Hunger Games trilogy. I am a bit anxious about the movie, I hope it lives up to the books.

[★ Jess]

The Hunger Games is amazing! The movie will be too! We watched the red carpet at the premiere live today :)

[Sherri]

Lucky Jess! Lol if I had a few friends in my area I'd drag them along for tje midnight showing of it haha

My parents wont let me go to the midnight premiere, but I'm going to the first showing after school on Thursday with a few friends who are just as crazy about the series as I am. Haha we were such a tragic sight today watching the live stream, screaming when Jennifer Lawrence walked past in that stunning gold dress, and Alexander Ludwig...*swoon*

[Sherri]

Bahaha I'll bet! And I'm pretty sure my parents would let me because I've already graduated and won't be starting uni for another year, lol.

[★ Jess]

hahaha! Lionsgate should hurry up and give us the movie and soundtrack already!

[Sherri]

Yes! Definitely! Lol, funny thing is my mom didn't want to read the books but then she saw the previews and now she wishes she read the books when I told her too xD

[★ Jess]

I'v been bugging my mum to read them for ages, and a week or two ago she finally took the first book. She did nothing but complain about how the stupid names making it impossible to read for a week, and saying she was so close to dropping it completely. Then she got to the interviews, and she's read like 100 pages in the past two nights. Shes obsessed now :D

[Sherri]

Sweet! Lol, my mom never started to read til after I got Twilight for my birthday. I criticized the movie so much my mom gave the books a shot and she was hooked on reading since xD

That’s so good to hear about your mum Sherri.

I went though a period of about 3 or more years where I lacked the passion & motivation to read. But as soon as my niece gave me the Twilight series, I haven’t stopped reading since. It’s seemed to have restored my love of books again

I think Twilight has done wonders for a lot of mums out there :)

Michael wrote: "Moving right along i started this one a little bit early and so far i love it. The Family Law :D"

I'm so glad to hear you like 'Family Law' so far :) Enjoy

[Sherri]

It has Mish, though its funny because out of the three girls in the house she is now the biggest twilight fan though she denies it lol

[Mish]

Haha that is funny! There’s a lot of us twilight fans out there…she’s not alone :)

[Sherri]

Lol very true, though the wait for BDP2 is killing her xD

I was hoping she would learn after the fourth MI book...on another note any one else heard stephine Meyer is writing another twilight script? The horror is not over yet

Just finished "Gunshot Road" by Adrian Hyland- a great Australian mystery. Great character development and a good feel for the dry and scorching Outback.

[Mish]

I'm currently reading for my March - Aussie Author Challenge. Very good so far :)

[Sherri]

Lol Melanie, I read the series thought it had a good ending then found a story on fanfiction.net that I consider the last book in the series, the lady who wrote it did such a good job it fit right into the series.

Mish, my daughter read it & loved it & the 2nd book, she thinks Ma..."

Good to hear Carmel. I read a good chunk of it last night. I’m now getting familiar with the world they live in and the characters so it’s starting to get even better :)

[Adhityani]

Finished another non fiction (book 4) - My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon by the iconic Bart Yasso, who woks for Runner's World and s essentilly paid to run all over the world.

He is dubbed "The Mayor of Running" for his dedication to bringing the sport to non runners nd gnerally help runners to get ttheir goals, new or seasoned. The book is a collection of the stories he would share in a pre-race gathering. They are funny, mindblowing, moving, in short, inspiring. Five stars.

I'm currently reading Mockingjay :) I start the game of thrones when it arrives which I'm excited about! So many great reviews!

[Stephen]

I have just finished Peter Corris's The Coast Road and its one of his best. The Coast Road

And in the post yesterday was the last of the Andrea Camilleri Montalbano mystery series. I am sorry to know it the last one and probably will stay the last as Andrea is now 84 or 85.Excursion to Tindari

[[deleted user]]

I'm thinking of reading 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'. It seems interesting, and the movie version of it looks amazing from the trailers. Has anyone read it yet? I've heard it's told in journal entries, so I'm thinking maybe something like 'Dracula'?

[Dee-Ann]

Have started reading Tomorrow, When the War Began for the Aussie challenge.
