Theresa (theresa99) | 534 comments Before I started Changes (The Dresden Files, #12) by Jim Butcher I attempted (for the 3rd time) to read The Fourth Descendant by Allison Maruska . I once again failed. I have waved the white flag and posted the only review I could because I had been given a copy for a review. Never really had a DNF like this. Ah well.

Zippergirl The Anachronist Girls The Anachronist Girls by Evan James Clark

If you loved The Time Travellers Wife--do be sure to find and read this excellent new book. I'm halfway through and trying to slow down, so I can make it last.

Leslie, thanks for the recommendation. I was beginning to get bored by the writing and slow pace in The Trial :(

message 469: by Mary (new)

Mary Buras-Conway (maryeconway) | 176 comments Hi everyone. I have been absent for a while on Goodreads. I have been very busy getting my third manuscript ready. I am halfway there and wanted to take a minute to let everyone know that my second book, Possession, will be released soon. I do not have the exact date yet, it is in printing. Will let everyone know the exact date. This book is the second of my Discover Trilogy. The first, A Temptation, was released last September.
I have to brag on the cover that my team came up with for Possession. I love it. Even more than A Temptation.
Any way, I just wanted to drop in and see how, and what everyone was doing. Have a great day!


message 470: by J.R. (new)

J.R. | 465 comments Reading Simon Winchester's 'Atlantic,' Tim Hallinan's 'King Maybe' and Thomas Hollydays 'Slave Graves.'


message 471: by Logan (new)

Logan (logannance) | 740 comments I am currently working on Benjamin Wallace's "Dumb White Husband versus Zombies" (it's actually pretty funny) and Greg Iles' "The Quiet Game" (a book about a unsolved crime in Natchez, Mississippi). If they both keep up the way they have been going, they won't disappoint anyone looking for these types of books.


message 472: by Kristina (new)

Kristina Steiner (kristina_steiner) | 8 comments Hi everyone!

I'm so mad at myself because I don't read as much as I used to. Since I've started writing, I prefer to do that. If you are looking for a new summer reading I'd like to invite you to check my novel out: Equinox by Kristina Steiner

But the book I'm reading now is "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Although I have to say it hasn't been that exciting.

Lesl..."

The Castle may well leave you screaming in frustration, but that is the whole point of the story!


message 475: by Alice (new)

Alice Poon (alice_poon) | 165 comments I finished The Trial - not impressed. I appreciate that it's a bleak parody of legal justice, but I was just not moved by the characters or the plot. I like The Metamorphosis much better.

My short review

I'm reading Watership Down for a change of mood :)

People raved about Watership Down when it came out, but I remember not being that impressed. Perhaps I should give it another go?

message 478: by Alice (new)

Alice Poon (alice_poon) | 165 comments Leslie, I'm enjoying Watership Down so far. I guess you'd have to let the child in you take over while reading it. I adored The Wind in the Willows, which also has animals as characters.

Grace Blair (grace_mystic) | 23 comments I am doing research for my novel "Einstein's Compass: a novel of what if?
Reading Jesus in Kashmir The Lost Tomb by Suzanne Olsson
found an interesting idea about E=mc2 that I may use.

Just finished reading "Freedom" by Ken Follett. I have an interest in Scottish/American history. A good read and it comes in audible.

Wind in the Willows is fun, Watership Down I found a little too serious for its own good! As said, perhaps I need to give it another try sometime.

Ryan Dalton (ryandalton) | 9 comments Just finished THE LAST ONE by Alexandra Oliva and it was a total blast. Not a genre I'd ever expect to read, but the hook was irresistible and the story SO well written.

Rita Chapman | 566 comments The Sound of Thunder https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... by Wilbur Smith, having just finished the first book in the series, When the Lion Feeds. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... Incredible saga - unfortunately I read Monsoon first, but it didn't detract as each book is also a stand-alone. Thoroughly recommended.

I'm halfway through Watership Down and I feel exactly the same way as you do about the two books. There are some hilarious scenes in The Wind in the Willows that are unforgettable :)

Jen Pattison | 17 comments I've finished The Forest and the Farm, I absolutely loved it. It's one of the most engaging books I've read in a long time and I want to reread it. With all the awful things happening in the world, it was a refuge to escape into a lost in the mists of time world.
The Forest and the Farm by Vance Huxley

J. (jdrew) | 153 comments I just finished Shadow Prowler and found it both unique and interesting though didn't realize it is book one in a series until I finished it and, well, the story didn't really end.
