What are you reading at the moment? What have you read recently? What did you think? Would you recommend it?

[Ashlee]

I'll kick it off - I'm currently reading the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima - great YA High Fantasy, definitely recommended!

[Phrynne]

I'm just about to start Festive in Death by J.D. Robb. I think it is number 39 in the series and I have loved every one of them so far.

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Free download : https://archive.org/details/ALittlePr...

Reading this but I sneak away often to watch the movie version by Alfonso Cuaron which is far better.

Check out this absolutely adorable YouTube movie clip : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpBQ2Q... titled "Just a Little Curse" !

Ahh that reminds me of my childhood!! That and and anything by Enid Blyton :)

Enid Blyton's food descriptions inevitably led to a lot of clandestine snacking ;)

Oh yes! There's something intrinsic about British writing and food descriptions!

I'm currently ploughing through White Fire by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It's the thirteenth in a series and the next one os out soon, I'll probably finish this off tonight, though....

I just started Black Out by Lisa Unger. It starts out good and scary:)

I'm about to start The Hunter's Prey, a true crime book by Australian lawyer and author Marie E Gorman. From the blurb:

"The Hunter's Prey is a True Crime book featuring true stories of women who met violent deaths at the hands of a male. These men managed to blend into society making it impossible for the victims to predict how violent and dangerous they could be. Some of the women in this book encountered everyday violence while others experienced crimes that were so extraordinary and random that they are almost inconceivable. By reading their stories, it forces us to become more aware of our surroundings and we may have second thoughts about doing things that we once believed posed no risk at all."



Marie E Gorman is also the owner of the Chilling Crimes website.

I should tell my sister about that one, she loves true crime.,., I get a bit freaked out by it :s

I'm currently juggling and .... comes out today so that will go on the pile as well lol

[P.G.]

I just finished the New Adult book Destroying the Wrong (Wrong #1) by Evelyne Stone and gave it a 4 star review.

[Vicki]

Ash, are you reading four books at the same time? Juggling is right!

[Ashlee]

Well I've finished The Young Elites now (that's the one I'm reviewing for our next issue) but still juggling the others :s ...I really should put the Outlander series on pause for a while but I just can't seem to give up Jamie!

[Brenda]

Currently reading Nightingale by Fiona McIntosh which I am loving!

[Tracie]

Currently reading Tommy-Knockers by Stephen King which is eerily touching a nerve with random certain events in my life right now; but, just received an awesome Indie book with a personalised letter in the mail which I will read and review!!

[Mish]

A friend introduced me to Raymond Chandler last year, so I'm slowly working my way through his books.

I've read 2 of his books so far and I'm onto my third - Farewell, My Lovely (reading them out of order) ;)

[Marianne]
