Too long:( But that's just me - I think everyone else likes it!

[Marianne]

I got this The Girl in Green a little while ago but couldn't resist for long... 100 pages in and I can say that the author of Norwegian by Night, Derek B. Miller's latest book is coming right up to scratch so far

[Mish]

I just finished 2 amazing Australian novels

Spirits of the Ghan by Judy Nunn - Intriguing story, with adorable characters. Really enjoyed reading about the Aboriginal culture and their spiritual connection to the land. And I appreciate how Nunn didn’t get too technical with the construction of the Ghan railway. - 4 Stars

Love Song by Nikki Gemmell - Magnificent writer! Her prose took my breath away. Heartbreaking love story of a young lady trying to break free from a religious cult. And it kind of had a gothic feel to it too. 5 Stars

[Mish]

Now I'm about to start 2 more Australian novels (AWW too!) -

Out of the Ice by Ann Turner
Viral by Helen Fitzgerald

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Loved Spirits of the Ghan and Out of the Ice Mish :) Happy reading!

[Ryan]

I just started 2015 Booker prize winner A Brief History of Seven Killings. Pretty wild so far. I can't tell if I love it or hate it.

Yeah that was a great book - Spirits of the Ghan -she's a good storytelling. I added another Nunn book to my TBR.

Has anyone read The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer yet? It's hard to find a decent review here on GR, they're just comment about the author and not about the book. I was browsing the bookshops today, and saw it there.

Juste reserved it at the library. Thanks, Mish!

[Marianne]

I am REALLY enjoying The Girl in Green. Was not sure I'd like s story set in the Middle East, but there's plenty of humour in amongst the serious issues. Shaping up to be a 5★ read for me

Oh great Marianne! I'm curious to know what it's like. :)

[Marianne]

Still on order, so it might be a little while....

[Mish]

Marianne wrote: "Still on order, so it might be a little while...."

No worries Marianne, I'm in no hurry.

I only just checked and realised it's released date was 2 days ago. So that explains why there's hardly any reviews! Silly me ;)

Going back to this post, I may have put Viral on hold, and pick up another book. I'm listening to it on Audio and the narrator is Scottish, with a thick Scottish accent. I can't understand a word she's saying LOL!

[Sally906]

I hadn't even heard she had written a new one - I have enjoyed her other books - but this looks like a departure from her previous stuff.

The little vampire lovers will be upset

It is a departure Sally. This is an adult crime novel. I enjoyed her other books too. I was expecting her to come out with the sequel to The Host next.

I intend to read it Mish. Thanks for reminding me it is out.

You've welcome Phrynne. I like to read it too at some stage - hopefully sooner rather than later :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just bought it on Kindle for about $13. The book costs a lot more!

That's a good price Phrynne :)

[Marianne]

I would love to read it but I do wonder if we'll EVER get a sequel to The Host

I know!! I'm starting to think that way too :(

I would have to read The Hostagain because i don't really remember what happened .

I really enjoyed the Host - hated the movie though.

[Mish]

So do I ladies, loved, loved the book!! I liked it better than the Twilight series.

Wow! that bad Sally. What a shame after she had so much success with the Twilight movie.

I'm sure it will come back to you Phrynne - that's if she ever writes the sequel. I think I'm okay, I can remember the plot, and the ending but don't asked me about names and/or specifics scenes from the book.

[Mish]

Okay. If all goes well with this audio, I will be starting The Heart of Henry Quantum by Pepper Harding on the drive into work tomorrow :)

[Marianne]

Oh yes, the library sent me an email to say my reserve of Henry is there to collect

[Mack]

Im reading Richard Russo's Bridge of Sighs.

What a coincidence! I like when that happens. We can compare notes Marianne. :)

[Marianne]

Yeah, although I do have one or two to read before I start that one...

[Marianne]

Loved The Girl in Green, review soonish
now started The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles so I can then read the sequel The Slow Waltz of Turtles won from Bookstr

[Mish]

Marianne wrote: "Yeah, although I do have one or two to read before I start that one..."

That's okay Marianne. I'm listening it on audio, to and from work, so it will take me a while to get through it....you'll catch up to me, I'm sure ;)

[Angela]

now onto

[K]

I just finished Written in the Scars. Now I am reading Sinners at the Altar and Dragonfly in Amber.

Hi Kiera

you read two books at once? How do you do that? I like to read one book at a time so I stay in the 'zone' of that particular story. I've always admired people who can read more than one book at a time.

[K]

*shrugs* not sure. I just can. Lol. It's a bit like flipping the channel on the television, I suppose.

[Marianne]

I always have two books on the go: my main read and a bedside book that doesn't require too much concentration.

[Tango]

Less than 100 pages of Moby Dick to go! It's been a slog. In the meantime I've just finished a YA novel Destroying Avalon which was a very readable book about the effects of cyber bullying.

[Noelene]

Currently reading Goodwood. My sister won it as part of a Goodreads competition. Easy read so far. We did a swap of our Goodreads wins the other week. Still struggling through the audio of Carpentaria. Finally have some action.

Ah, okay, THAT I can understand! I've been known to watch two TV shows at once - I keep flipping between them during the ads - drives Mum crazy!

Marianne wrote: "I always have two books on the go: my main read and a bedside book that doesn't require too much concentration."

Now, see, if my main book was really interesting, there is no way I could turn to another book until it's finished! The only time I've done it, its because the first book is one I couldn't finish for whatever reason, so i choose another book.

[Carolyn]

I'm currently reading Swing Time by Zadie Smith and enjoying it very much. The only other book of hers I've read of hers is White Teeth and I struggled a bit with that but this one is so far very flowing and readable.

[Bob]

I'm usually too busy to read because I am editing or reviewing, but my wife forced me to read a book by Jodi Picot: Leaving Time.
You learn lots about elephants in it.
:)

Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

[B the BookAddict]

Started Faithful by Alice Hoffman late yesterday; I've been hanging out for a new Hoffman fix.
