[K]

Today I will be reading an ARC of Fireproof by my friend Jackie Y. Wang

[Elias]

I've just started Von Ryan's Express by David Westheimer.

[Ryan]

Really looking forward to Fifty Shades of Grey

[Tango]

Rereading The Secret History and it is just as brilliant as the first time around.

[Andrea]

Today I've been reading Saroo Brierley's book, A Long Way Home, ready for the movie to come out later this week. Can't wait!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's a fantastic book Andrea! Enjoy the movie :)

[K]

I am powering through Into the Nothing tonight. This is BT's- oops, I mean B.T. Urruela's first solo novel and holy hell! The dude can write! This is totally going to be another 5 star read- and I am not even up to chapter 12 yet, where it all really starts hitting the fan, apparently. You guys really need to check this out! (Think of this post as a pre-review review. Haha.)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Love your enthusiasm Kiera!

Just finished Truly Madly Guilty and I'm not sure yet how I feel about it... has anyone else read it?

I read all of the Wayward Pines books by Blake Crouch, as well as Abandon and I'm too scared to read this one in case he finishes with his (view spoiler)[signature horrible ending (hide spoiler)]...

[Sharon]

This afternoon I started reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Nearly 100 pages in and not sure if I really like it so I hope it improves.
Has anyone in this group read it?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I haven't Sharon and there seem to be varying reviews for it. Hope it picks up for you :)

[Andrea]

One of my all-time favourites, Sharon! One piece of advice I would give is to try not to get caught up in the logic (or lack thereof) of the time travel. If you can suspend judgement you are bound to enjoy it more.

[Asa-Marie]

Reading Watership Down and can't believe I have been putting it off all these years. Found the first page a little less enticing than I thought I would but then it picks up right away and hasn't stopped yet! Loving it so far.

[Sharon]

Yes I think it's the whole time travel thing, Brenda. Just not doing it for me, but I'll persevere. The worst that can happen is it will send me to sleep and that would be a good thing :)

Thanks Andrea. Yes it's the time travel bit that I'm having trouble with

I loved Watership Down when I read it. Since hearing of the author's passing away, I've had a desire to re-read it. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Hi, I loved this book, I hope you enjoy it!

Hiya Kiera,
First off, how have you been? =o)

This is a just for fun, curious question. On the home page that has this book and everyone's reviews, there is a picture of a man in a denim shirt that says 'I was set up plain and simple'. Whom I find very.... Attractive to say the least. Uhum, anyway, I was wondering if you have a TV series show called Prison Break on Netflix in Australia? I'm pretty sure you would. My point is, the hottie (my opinion) in the picture is the main character, named Michael. In short, Michael's brother is wrongfully accused of murder and is sentenced to death. Michael purposely commits a crime so he can be sent to the same prison where his brother is. Why? Because he has a plan. He's going to rescue his brother and break them both out. But before the plan is complete, Michael starts falling for, Sarah, the very pretty, prison Dr. Now he's got her mixed up in the very risky plan, too. It's a really good show. It doesn't seem that it's based on this book, but it's similar enough, and I thought I'd tell you about it. You might be interested in checking it out. =o)

Also, my friend, I'm not usually big on the romance genre, although I've been known to read romantic suspense on occasion. But you've got me most interested in this book, so much so that I may have to give it a whirl! Well done!

[Deb]

I am juggling + +

Suspect I may have overcommitted,

I wasnt a huge fan of this one either Sharon, I liked it but didnt love it like I was expecting. I was really looking forward to it as I love Time Travel plus Romance and lots of people who have loved the same books as me also loved this one, but wasnt to be. I decided I shouldnt go into books with such high expectations maybe :)

I wasn't a fan of this one when I tried it some years back. Didn't mind the movie though.

[Angela]

I've just started I'm really enjoying this series, it's very different, entertaining, funny and at times action-packed.

The movie was pretty good.

loved it! one of my favourite books

[B the BookAddict]

Sharon, I wasn't all that keen on it although it wasn't because of the time-travelling. I have another of the author's books which I love: Her Fearful Symmetry.

Yesterday I started Brooklyn which I am enjoying. Hopefully my reading slump is over!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I finished that one a couple of days ago Bette and really enjoyed it :)

I've just started We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

[Marianne]

Enjoying my GR win, Love, Lies and Linguine, but anyone planning to read this series should start with book 1 Hester and Harriet if they want to avoid spoilers

How are you going with it? I really enjoyed it, but it didn't grip me from the start either. It does get better. Suspend the logical part of your brain. :)

[Ruth]

Reading Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman.

It always takes me a while to warm to Fredrik Backman's characters...but it's taking me a bit longer to warm to Britt-Marie than it did to Ove. I'm sure I'll love her by the end.

One of my favourites too. Just suspend the disbelief.

[Sally906]

Last week I finished Kakadu Sunset by Annie Seaton and really enjoyed it - yesterday I picked up the next book in the trilogy, Daintree, and really enjoying it.

I think it's a trilogy - there are only 3 sisters and each is getting her own story.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes it's a trilogy Sally - but they can be read as stand alones :) I'd prefer to read in order though as with Daintree the sister who was the MC in Kakadu Sunset pops in. So then we catch up with her again :) I'm really looking forward to the third in the trilogy!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I'm just about to go to bed and start reading Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. I am so looking forward to this !!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Enjoy :) I'm reading Right As Rain by Tricia Stringer and loving it too.

[Carolyn]

I've started reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Seems good so far :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I must not have really liked that one because I have never followed it up with the sequel!

[Leonie]

I'm reading Pyramids by Terry Pratchett - I discovered there was a Discworld book I'd never read!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

And I bet you were thrilled Leonie! Enjoy ;)

Oh my god, Lil Owl, hello! I know of Pridon Break. I haven't ever watched it and I don't have Netflix, so not sure if it's on there.
You would love BT's book. I finished it now and yup! Five stars, alright! It's the first in his Broken Outlaw series. There's going to be 3 or 4 books (the second one is already out).

I have made aquaintences with BT and his circle of friends, because I am becoming an indie romance author (that's how much I love romance). BT is cool, man! So cool and down to earth and funny as hell and inspiring. So is Mikey Lee and cover photographer, Reggie Deanching. I've been making connections in all the right places, I think! Also, the cover model on Into the Nothing- Gideon Connelly- I think I'm going to use him on my third book. Anyway, enough of that on here. I hope you're well. BT URRUELA FOR THE WIN!!

I'll have to see if my husband has read that one. He is a huge Terry Pratchett fan.

Bree, I've bought Pines but will have to read it to find out if what you said in the Spoiler is also true for Dark Matter. I liked the ending in Dark Matter - it didn't answer all your questions but it was hopeful.

[Carolyn]

I'm enjoying it but it is quite long and I suspect the sequels are going to be more in the same vein so I think this might be a one off for me too.

What a treat Leonie!

[Jennifer]

I know that this has been out for a while but I haven't had the chance to read it till now but I am reading "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes and I am so enjoying it :)

[Jennifer]

Me Before You
