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.

message 1315: by Denise (new)

Denise (drbetteridge) Slowly grinding through both Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope , and The legends of King Arthur and his knights by James Knowles . Neither are quick reads, but fascinating nonetheless.

Jennifer Rainey (jennifer_rainey) | 38 comments I'm reading The Woman in Black in preparation for the movie, and I'm really loving it so far. Very creepy!!

Karen M I'm reading a free download Paradise Valley which so far is interesting.

Jennifer Rainey (jennifer_rainey) | 38 comments I stayed up and finished The Woman in Black last night (so awesome!). Now I'm about to start Lucifer's Odyssey by Rex Jameson.


message 1322: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm slowly reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.


message 1323: by Char (new)

Char I liked Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell but it was a long one!
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.

M. Myers (mruth) | 17 comments Wow, I don't often come across others who have read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and here are two in a row! I enjoyed the fact it was so long.

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.

Karen M I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society last night and I started Signs and Wonders.

Loved the series!

Faith McKay (faithmckay) Anansi Boys by neil gaiman, and I just bought American Gods (it's 1.99 right now on amazon, it was supposed to go back to regular price yesterday so it could be any minute) so I'll probably read that next!

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) | 304 comments I have finished the delightful Six Cats In My Kitchen - Lyn Horner and am now reading War Horse - Michael Morpurgo.


message 1334: by Helen (new)

Helen I just started The Thief and noticed that it was about to be removed from GR, something to do with Amazon. As most of my reads are Kindle, does this mean unless I go and personally save each book they will disappear from my shelves? Why is this happening anyway?

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.

Helen Hope we don't lose books from shelves then. Wonder why.

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 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.

Jennifer Rainey (jennifer_rainey) | 38 comments I read DEAD ish yesterday night/this morning. It was okay, a little scatterbrained, but it had its funny moments. I got the story for free, and I'll probably still try another story in the series.

Wow, those are some eclectic choices!

I read and enjoyed all three of those. Each was good for a different reason.
