I've not read any Sophie Kinsella novels yet Leanne, but I've got one of her cookbooks. I'm going to be starting Rebecca in a few days as part of a buddy read, it should be good.

Sophia Kinsella is fun! I read the Shopaholic series several years ago aloud when my husband and I would travel (we did a lot of camping in those days, when gas and camping fees were much, much cheaper), and we both did a lot of laughing at the antics in the books.
Is it the the time you're reading this Chuck? I loved it. But I'm starting
The Haven: A Noveland
Dust and Decay

[book:Dust..."Yeah, it's my first time. Have you read the whole series?
Yep, and I've just read the first chapter of book 4. It is really good, but I didn't think you normally read this kind of book.
Angie wrote: "Yep, and I've just read the first chapter of book 4. It is really good, but I didn't think you normally read this kind of book."Yeah, I don't. I was looking for a fantasy-type thing to get into.
I was thinking--and I probably will next month--read that Sanderson series, The Way of Kings, IIRC.
You should love way of kings Chuck, I didn't dislike any part of it and I can't wait for book three now!
That looks like a good book Parthavi:) and its on the kindle for £2.99 as well which works out cheaper than buying a real copy. I've but it down on my wish list. I'm about to start Flesh and Blood and Fade Away. Both should be good fun.
Mrs dalloway by Virginia woolf, really enjoying it so far. I've only read the waves by her but this is better.
@Angie: that's great, I hope you like it! I did, it was a fun read! I'm thrilled these books are on kindle now, I swear my wish list on amazon keeps growing and growing :D
I've just downloaded Take One With You so I'm going to start that shortly and I'm half way through The Fall which is incredibly good.
I just finished reading
by Patricia Briggs and really enjoyed it. This is the 8th book in her Mercy Thomas series.I also started
and am enjoying it so far. I'll probably put is aside next week, though, when
by Nora Roberts comes out.
It is a hefty book. The problem is, I have about five other hefty books on my to be read list. But it's a good arm workout! :-)

Free? Wow nice! I got mine fashion way: paper and purchase. Ha. By the way, I am thoroughly enjoying the wild sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami. That this was one of his earlier books leads me to wonder how much better his writing has gotten since then. That I have never read any of his books is an amazing thing too but I blame you, Malina, for not getting me to read Murakami earlier. :-)
Absolutely nothing! For a couple of hours at least. Don't remember the last time I was caught up. REALLY need to focus on ONE AT A TIME. Works out so much better for me. Read at a much faster pace.
I'm reading The Drive-In 2: Not Just One of Them Sequels and with everything I've read by Lansdale, I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
I'm reading five again Cindy, it seems as soon as I finish one I've got so many others to get through. Julia how was the new Patricia Briggs book? I've got it on my wish list for when it comes down in price, its still really expensive to buy yet.

I got the audio for that last month and then found out it's actually part of a series. The only Murakami I've read is 1Q84.
Angie wrote: "I'm reading five again..."LOL! I keep saying I'm not going to do that, but it just doesn't work. Instead of saying I'm going back to one at time, I'm now at the point where I say I'm going back to no more than three at time. But, that doesn't work either!
It never works out for me either:D I just keep adding more books,lol. But I prefer to read than watch TV so it all works out OK , my eyes are all blurry now though so I think I'm going to have to rest them for a couple of hours. I always make lots of spelling mistakes when I get like this which looks really funny when I read what I wrote the next day,lol.
chuck the book was a pleasant surprise, I added it because it was mentioned on the ps pages of the hours. definitely read it.
angie I am the same, my reading list is stuffed with half read books. it's not like they are badly written or that they're boring but the way they treat me emotionally. take forbidden colours for example, the character is perfect, the way he looks and what he does (his secret life that is) makes me burn with envy and I become very insecure so I sick up a shorter novel to break it up. but it's one novel after another. so I am trying to break that cycle.

As you can see I didn't go to sleep, my insomnia is so bad,lol. Never mind it just means more time to chat:)
Yep. Just read and chat until you drop. LOL! Seriously, I know about the insomnia thing and sometimes it really sucks.
