Just finished White Teeth - Zadie Smith and this is my opinion: I would like to say that I have listened to the audio of this today. I am so glad its over with. Sorry to say it wasn't my cup of tea. But as it was on my list to read, its over with. Hated the language that some of them used. I also felt sorry for the characters and their faiths, as I have a best friend who is a Jehovah Witness.

I have no idea whether I feel like readin anymore of hers after listening to this.

Now I am going to read Five on a Treasure Island - Enid Blyton

Just finished the delightful The Armada Boy - Kate Ellis. Think I will now read Case Histories - Kate Atkinson for my next book as I have wanted to know what her books are like.

Going to start Sarah's Key


message 107: by Anna (new)

Anna (stregamari) I just finished "Frostbitten" by Kelley Armstrong, this is one of the best book/series ever! The characters are strong and believable, the writing is seamless and perfect. *sigh* I just hate that I have to wait so long till another comes out! I tried to read "Mr Darcy, Vampyre" by Amanda Grange is was horrible, couldn't read past the first chapter. yuck! have "black and white" by jackie kessler and "un lun dun" by china mieville to read now.

Still reading Case Histories - Kate Atkinson. Also decided to listen to American Wife - Curtis Sittenfeld (21hrs 30 mins) as this is a library copy and needs to be sent back before I go away on Friday lunchtime. Next will listen to Betty:The Autobiography - Betty Driver.

Had a kind of melt down last nite. The last 3 books I read/listened to was not what I was expecting. Disliked Scarpetta - Patricia Cornwell, wasn't keen on Betty: The Autobiography - Betty Driver due to what she did before, I think it wasn't my cup of tea (as they say) and finally Case Histories - Kate Atkinson started off good, got to middle was ok, then finally at the end, you just lost the plot of where all these characters and who they were or ended up being. I ended up keep going back and forwards to see who was who.

Now I am reading Run For Your Life - James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge.

Aww Fiona! I'm sorry. It always horrible to read one bad book but to hate or dislike three in a row has got to be horrible. Good luck on this one!!


message 118: by I'm awesoMEGAN! (new)

I'm awesoMEGAN! (missesmh) | 161 comments Fiona ... You should just read a nursery rhyme in between bad books just so you don't have that many horrible reads consecutively. Good Luck with Run for your Life, a woman at work is reading that now and really enjoys it.

I am finishing up on The Lovely Bones and then going to start Push - Sapphire


message 126: by Jen (new)

Jen (nekokitty) | 339 comments I'm still working on Shantaram. I'm really enjoying the book, but between a sick child and being super busy at work, the reading of it isn't going so fast.

What did you think of The Lovely Bones? I read it a few years ago. I think I liked it overall... Sebold had a neat vision of Heaven in the book. Have you read any of her other books?

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
I can't believe I waited so long to read Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It is amazing already. I can tell it's going to be a 5 star read and one of my all time faves and I am only 70 pages in!

Just listening to Swimsuit - James Patterson. Listened to Alex Cross's Trial - James Patterson last night.



message 138: by Anna (new)

Anna (stregamari) I read the poison wood bible a while ago, not quite dismal... some of her other books are better, if not as disjointed http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

Then, the book of paranormal romance (which was FABULOUS!!) pretty dead by francesca lia block (bleh), deep kiss of winter by kresley cole and gena showalter, again, a wonderful book. non-fiction - seven faith tribes by some guy (okay)

Good Luck with HoL. Many of us gave up!


message 143: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ash88) That's so disappointing :/ Was it the style of the book that made it hard to get into or the story itself??

I guess I'll find out when I get home from work today... lol


message 144: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
It's the combination of the two. I am sure I will get back to this book but at a later time. I just couldn't get through it. You will soon understand I am sure!

message 147: by Jen (new)

Jen (nekokitty) | 339 comments I've never understood they hype about Poisonwood Bible. So many people seem to love it, but I just couldn't get into it. On the other hand, I've got a practically unused and pretty much perfect copy of it just collecting dust if someone else wants to give it a try! :)
