How embarrassing - I've been reading the same book for ages and ages (not telling how many months). It's a good one too.

When Lucy Ceased to Be

Perhaps I should give up reading my daily newspaper for a bit!

You're not alone Anna. I'm still trying to plow through The Road Less Travelled. The seminal work on life, relationships etc - 1970s. I'd include a cover link but there's lots of books with the same title (how so many can be pub using the same name I have no idea) and I'm having a moment re the author's name.

Can't believe I read this when I was at school. Interesting yes, but factually dense.

[Anna]

Ah, The Road Less Travelled, and marching to the beat of a different drummer - they certainly resonate with me and after taking a look at your profile, I can see why you are reading TRLT. At least you have lots of books written to excuse you for reading an interesting book rather slowly.

I must try harder, I must try harder, I must...

[K]

I am reading Introductions and Promise of the Wolves

[Carolyn]

I'm reading The Wolf in the Attic by Paul Kearney. Excellent tale about a child refugee from war torn Europe in England. The story has just got all dark and a bit gothic. Lovely!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Some great books being read at the moment - I'm reading Out of the Ice by Aussie Ann Turner and I'm really loving it!

[Dale]

currently reading The Secrets of Midwives

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just about to start Step on a Crack by James Patterson. I nearLy always like his books.

I enjoyed that one when I read it back in 2007 ... hope you do too!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

It's been a busy week for me and same for this weekend so reading is a bit slower than I would like, I'm still reading You by Caroline Kepnes and it's pretty creepy...not sure who is actually stalking who! (⊙_☉)

I just picked that one up from the library today. I think it was Carolyn who gave it a really good review and Michael did too.

Thanks, Brenda!

[Katie]

Still haven't been able to get into and I don't think it is going to happen since I've read 70% of it so far. I will persist with it though because not finishing a book always grates on me!

Hate when that happens Katie! I always think about all the good books I could be reading instead:)

[Sally906]

Just started reading Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman. Have been swept into her world immediately. I do love Fredrik Backman's work!

Thanks Anna, you've made me feel a lot better about dragging my feet on TRLT.

[Jo]

aha i have found where you are now on a new thread. been wondering why there has been no new notifications for a while.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Sorry Jo. We had to start a new thread because the other was so big it took too long to load.

[Jo]

that's ok Phrynne. just thought it unusual nobody had anything to say for a while.

[Jo]

Has anyone else read The Flight of dreams by Ariel Lawhon? For the first time in a while I have not been able to finish a novel. I found it boring and kept thinking when are we getting to the explosion of the Hinderberg ship.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Flight of Dreams by Ariel Lawhon. I hadn't heard of that one before Jo.

Fantastic Sally, I can't wait to get this one.

When I checked it I see quite a few people on here have read it including Brenda:)

I thoroughly enjoyed it Jo. A great historical fiction novel which was admittedly a little slow in places, but I definitely wanted to keep reading :)

[Jo]

Yes Brenda it was slow more than boring. Anyway 2 books on reserve came up for me to borrow and had to abandon this book. Just my luck 2 reserves come in together!!

[Jo]

I am now really enjoying The Amazing Mrs Livesey.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I am enjoying The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell. A heap of unlikeable characters but I have to keep reading to find out what happens!

[Andrea]

I started reading Why You Are Australian: A Letter to My Children this afternoon - getting through it fairly quickly. It's making me feel strongly nostalgic for the Australia of my childhood.

[Ryan]

The Best Feeling of All is making me terribly nostalgic as well.

[B the BookAddict]

I've picked up Blood & Beauty: The Borgias by Sarah Dunant but it's not suiting my mood at the moment so might try something else today. I probably need some escapism so might give one of the Sarah Waters books a re-read today.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just this minute starting The Dark Room by Minette Walters. An oldy but a goody:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Think I'll read Nanberry: Black Brother White by Jackie French next :)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I'm starting What Matters Most by Dianne Maguire

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Great book Jools! Enjoy :)

Just this morning I started The Bones of Grace: A Novel, not at all what I expected, I am quite enjoying it.

Yeah, I know! I hate to waste my precious reading time:(

I was just given Acid Row by Minette Walters and I haven't read anything from her before, have you read this one? I am a little hesitant about the content after being given an overview.

I love Minette Walters - have read all her books and she is the main reason I got into reading crime as I wouldn't read it for years.

This one is about the housing estate set in England - brilliant portrayal about living in poverty, seething racism, well any sort of ism really and how crowd mentality takes over from reason.

[Katie]

It sounds like a great read then, I'll read it next, thanks a lot!

I haven't read that one Katie but the ones I have read have all been really good.

Loving it so far

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I am reading Tom Appleby, Convict Boy by Jackie French. Very readable:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm reading Blood Ties by Aussie author J.D. Nixon

[Suz]

I'm reading Prodigal Son by Danielle Steel. What can I say?! Lovely new copy from The Whisperer.. ;)

[B the BookAddict]

Picked up Blood & Beauty: The Borgias by Sarah Dunant yesterday after an earlier false start with the novel. Happy to say I am now firmly entrenched in Rome, 1490s and the machinations of the Borgia family, particularly Rodrigo but also very interested in the son Cesare.

[Carolyn]

I'm reading Play Dead by Angela Marsons.
It's very good!
