I have that one too but haven't read it yet. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

It worked out nicely because The Strange Case of Finley Jayne became free right before another goodreads group I'm in is reading The Girl in the Steel Corset as a BOM. I'm about halfway through the prequel and it's decent so far. Nothing too exciting. Nice short read though.

I love Tess Gerritsen
I love Tess Gerritsen


I've had discussions with her on a book site I belong to :-)

How did you like that book.I have both snce 2009 but haven't started either.

I LOOOOOVED that book! I hope you do as well. I read it last year.
Went to watch the film about Maggie Thatcher today and in it she was reading Ken Follets eye of the needle and i remembered I love that book so came home and downloaded it to my kindle



I just finished Kin by Kealan Patrick Burke and it was awesome. (The link thingy can't find it!)
I just started two:
High Moor and the second issue of Penny Dreadnought. Link won't work for that either.

I'm now reading An Impartial Witnessby Charles Todd. It's the first I've read by the author that features his WWI nurse detective, and it's one of the most believable examples of actions flowing from character and background that I've ever seen.

I'm slowly warming up to it. After the first 100 pages or so, coupled with the footnotes, it felt like it wasn't going anywhere, but now I'm much more engaged with the story.

I got about halfway through it when it first came out and retried it again this past summer, then finally gave up, it just wasn't for me.

I totally understand. I almost gave up a couple of times as well, but after Strange is finally introduced it started to get much more interesting for me. I'm 3/4s through it now. It's still got it's slow moments, however.

From what I read in another group, Amazon will no longer be the main source of book information for GoodReads. Evidently there have been some issues with Amazon. GoodReads will be importing book info from another major source (don't know who) and this will be done shortly. Just repeating what I read so don't hold it as absolutely true.

From what I understand from the information provided on one of the threads I follow, it is only the information about the book and not the book itself that will be affected. I don't think your list of books will disappear from your shelves. The note I read said that some of the books being imported might not have all editions so your shelf might be changed to a different edition. That is, perhaps a paperback instead of a hard back edition or a paperback edition instead of a kindle edition. Make sense? Goodreads is going to supply a list of books for which they are not getting information fed to the website. Check the boards for more information that is more complete.

I've always wanted to read these two books. Perhaps this year! I suppose you are enjoying them? ;-)

I read The Call of the Wild when I was a kid, loved dogs! I bought a copy of White Fang last year, sitting on my TBR shelf. Maybe I will get to it soon.






Wow, those are some eclectic choices!
I read and enjoyed all three of those. Each was good for a different reason.
