What have you downloaded recently?

[Patti (baconater)]

Moved 21 books onto my voyage today. I swore I'd not overload it but I've now got 42 books on it. Sigh.

Bought Darren's new Ward book, The Silence of the Mimesof course, which got me a free copy of Gaiman's Stardust. Stardust

I've also had to download the first Lemony Snicket The Bad Beginningbook to read for my ten year olds.

Currently reading a L'engle A Wrinkle in Time for my ten year olds.

Got a couple of others to read for them this weekend as well. Yay.

I'm making my way through The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding

Fascinating stuff indeed. Shows what a horrendous place the 19th century was and why libertarians are mentalists.

[Patti (baconater)]

Ooooo that looks good!

[Patti (baconater)]

I've got his Rome book, but not the Australia one. Cool.

[Will]

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

I've even read it on the kindley thing.
Are you proud of me, Patti?

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm always proud of you, Will.

Bend over and I'll give you a pat on the head.

[Will]

Or the thinking bit, anyway

[Patti (baconater)]

The hairless bit, yes.

I tried, am trying, to limit the number on new voyage too Patti, not doing so well I got 162 on it already. Infact, I am going to slim them down anud Take some back off again.

This weekend I got Kaths 2 books, the First Horseman, The Miniaturist, The Killers of The King and Secret Dreams. ( sorry I can't remember how to do the links, I will go and refresh my memory, just not tonight )

[David]

Top right of the comment box, Anita (add book/author). Type in the title and select the appropriate book.

[Anita]

Of course, thank you David ! Killers of the King: The Men Who Dared to Execute Charles I is that right ?
You will soon learn David that me and the technical bits don't always go together, well ok then we rarely go together !

[Anita]

The First Horseman
I don't remember it being quite as easy as that

[Graham]

The Victim : A Rufus Stone Novel

Cracking book about hostage negotiation written by a hostage negotiator. If you like Lee Child let this be your next read.

[Philip]

Loads, because I'm flying soon and reading is the only way I can distract myself! Just downloaded the complete works of G.K. Chesterton.

[Andrew]

Imperfect Strangers by David. Really looking forward to this; it comes highly recommended.

[Kath]

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. I just loved his earlier two books. Going to sink into this one...

I love G.K.C. I dip in and out of his Father Brown stories.

For some reason, I've never encountered his work, but Terry Pratchett is a fan so I've got to give it a try :-)

[Jim]

I like some of GKC's stuff. Some of the Father Brown stories are better than others, I don't think he had the consistency of, for example, Sherlock Holmes stories

Difficult to top old Arthur C-D

[Kath]

Just bought David Haynes' Beneath the Boards

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Me too.

[Patti (baconater)]

Nice, Phil! Whereabouts?

Just been looking at that, Kath. Think I'll grab it, too.

Near Valencia, Patti.

[Andrew]

I just bought that too, Kath. My eyes are bigger than my reading allowance :(

[David]

The Third Rule - The Complete Story by Andrew Barrett, another highly recommended book.

[Patti (baconater)]

Free at the moment, innit?

[David]

A bargain at half the price.

[Patti (baconater)]

A bargain at twice the price, even.

[David]

Yes… that too :~)

[Stuart]

I've just bought a Kindle Paperwhite 2 days ago, so I am going to deffo overload it

[Will]

I'm being jostled by the horde of authors offering Stu suggestions...

[Stuart]

I wrote a few books but never hoard anyone into buying them lol. At the minute I am reading a WWE biography by Mick Foley - so if you fancy something different then try that.

[Patti (baconater)]

I grabbed Revival today.

I blame whoever it was that mentioned it in the just started.

I'm aching to start reading it!

[Anita]

Got The Thief Taker. The Taxidermist's Daughter and The Marriage Game: A Novel of Queen Elizabeth I yesterday, they had all gone down in price

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I downloaded The Bone Clocks and The Book of Strange New Things yesterday because they were both £1.99, though I see the Michel Faber is up to £3.27 today. Both causing indexing probs on my kindle so had to take them off it for the moment.

[Marc]

am reading Book of Strange Things right now and loving it Rosemary. Didn't enjoy Bone Clock really.

[Stuart]

I'm in the process of downloading the Stephen King entire bookography (well, apart from Rage)

[✿Claire✿]

I got How (Not) to Kiss a Prince for free the other day and I may have downloaded and read the entire series since then.... and started on the spin off one... Not necessarily the best written books but good for a guilty pleasure read :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Brain candy reading is always good, Claire.

Why not Rage, Stu? I quite liked Rage.

I couldn't get it on Kindle with it being hard to get after the school massacre

[D.D. Chant]

I just got Reign, it's book four in a series I started ages ago. I still haven't had time to start it though!!! >.<

[Andrew]

Oooh, good! I hope you enjoy it, David, and thank you :)

Funnily enough, I downloaded Imperfect Strangers and am itching to crack on with it. It's had some excellent reviews.

[[deleted user]]

I've found a new favourite author (one of many!) through kindle unlimited. I couldn't find much by authors that I already knew and this authors name came up in a related search. Melissa Hill

I've already gobbled up Summer in Sorrento and Autumn in Verona, have just started Winter In Venice and have downloaded another longer book to read soon Something You Should Know. I'm really enjoying them; pleasant, light hearted stories set in Italy.

[Andrew]

I downloaded a book of smoothie recipes, because I'm trying to up my fruit and veg intake and shed a few pounds.

I shan't name it, because the spinach, celery, apple and lime juice concoction I made in good faith this morning was utterly vile.

The last time I saw something that was close to that particular vivid shade of bright green, the dying Malus was puking it on to the floor of Little Hodcombe's church at the end of Peter Davison's 1983 Doctor Who story, The Awakening.

It tasted even worse.

[Patti (baconater)]

Wonder if it was the same shade of green as the stuff Jud had to deal with today.
