Thought this might be a nice addition.

I'm currently reading I've read all of the books in this series and can recommend them for fans of Kick A$$ vampires who want romance as well as action.

[Em]

I'm reading Catch 22 by Joseph Heller and Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel both for the first time and also Robinson Crusoe for at least the 2nd time on dailylit.com. I like the sound of your book Adrienne!

[Robo]

I just read Anthem by Ayn Rand at the weekend and have now started on At The Mountains of Madness which is my first foray into Lovecraft so I'm a bit trepidatious!

[Adrienne]

Thanks Em this one series I just can't get enough of.

[Gill]

I'm reading The Valley of Horses leant to me by my sister-in-law. Read the first one at Christmas, another 2 to go after this one. They're BIG books too.

[Em]

Gill, I enjoyed The Clan of the Cave Bear so I'm keeping an eye out for the others in the series - I'll be interested to know what you think.

Robo, your new book looks scary - I am a right wimp though! Why are you trepidatious?

[Jirinka (sony08)]

I am reading The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold and it's very strange but very good. I am about mid way through now.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I'm reading

[Adrienne]

Fiona ~ I started to read these but way out of order, is this the latest one?

[Fiona (Titch)]

Yes, and so far its good.

I think it's just because of the huge mythos that surrounds Lovecraft and his dark, psychological horror - I feel as though I'm crossing over to the dark side somehow!

[Em]

I'm not good with horror books or films - when I was 12 I watched Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Creep Show 2 back to back and couldn't sleep for a week! I think I was traumatised!

[Adrienne]

My neither, I remember watching a film from the 60's where a group stay in a haunted house ,there's lots of very loud banging, so scary for something so dated! after that every creek in the house made my blood run cold.

About half way through. Bit slow in places but very racy!! in others.

Hot in some places and the two main character's haven't even met yet!!

You mean Sail? I have the book, but the audio is better for me today x

[Lynne - The Book Squirrel]

I am listerning to The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James while finishing my new knitted throw for my library sofa!

[Adrienne]

Where do you ladies buy your audio books from? I'm having terrible trouble finding anything on either iTunes or audible.

[Fiona (Titch)]

[Fiona (Titch)]

I haven't read that one yet Fiona but I have read others by William Boyd, in particular this one: was fantastic - I can't praise it enough. I've made everyone I know read it!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished What To Do When Someone Dies - Nicci French.

[Adrienne]

I'm now reading as my day/downstairs read , and STILL reading when I get the opportunity, hence the inordinate amout of time it's taking me to finish.....

Any Human Heart is on my TBR list - a friend of mine recommended it. Let me know how it goes...

[Em]

I picked up The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister yesterday and already flown through to page 50! I am really enjoying it so far.

[Adrienne]

Ok, I've finished the then started and finished This was a great way to spend a sunday afternoon, despite being killed off following a silent Reel with Mr Darcy, and, after I really thought I was on my way to a HEA , finaly being sent to prison for causng an horrific accident. Just trying to find a niceday read as the ANR CoSB remains a no go for reading in company.

Finished Mountains of Madness today - really enjoyed it actually but it was quite unsettling at parts. Lovecraft's really good at conjuring up an atmosphere of dread without too much horror actually taking place.

Fortunately I finished it on a warm, sunny day sitting in a bright conservatory so the unease didn't get to me too much!

[Em]

Good strategy - bright sunlight! I read The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition on the beach - not so much pure horror as unsettling - but alot less so than late at night on your own, worrying yourself about a worldwide plague.

[Em]

Yeah, in fact best avoided by hypochondria sufferers in general...

[Fiona (Titch)]

Over the next few days I am gonna be reading the following:

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished books 1, 2 and 4 lol x

[Adrienne]

Gosh that's quick! I'm currently reading and yes I really want to read the TCoSB as it's part of the TAbboo books challenge I'm taking part in.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Adrienne, the 1st 5 books are Quick reads sweetie. I read 1 while I was on a bus going to Asda and read a lot more while I was waiting for 2hrs for bus to turn up and I finished the book before I arrived at my stop lol x

[Adrienne]

Ha ha there was me thinking you were bionic LOL

[Fiona (Titch)]

Oh I am wishing lol x

Gosh, it's like a The Stand crossover thread...that's what I'm now currently reading. And probably will be for the foreseeable future!

[Em]

I wasn't good company while I was reading it either - I was on holiday with my then boyfriend and vitually ignored him. What's worse is it was his book and I pinched it! It can't have been good for his ego that I was more into his book than him!

[Dan]

The Stand? Good book. I read it a couple of times, many years ago. Might go back to it sometime. I'm currntly reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

[Em]

I've just reaslised it's been about 18 years since I read The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition - blimey! I didn't realise I was that old! Seriously, it is probably about time I also re-visited this book.

Dan, how are you finding The Book Thief - I loved it but I notice not everyone is as enamoured as myself!

[Dan]

Hi Em - Actually, I'm struggling a bit with it at the moment. Not sure if it's the book's fault or mine, though. I'm working on something of my own at the moment and unless I'm drawn straight into a novel, it can lose me. I'm going to persevere with it, see where it takes me.

[Dan]

Yep, Fiona, Death can really get in the way of things - how true. And those little scrolled sections telling you what's coming up ... I dunno.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I'm just about to go back to reading

[Dan]

Succubus Shadows? Haven't heard about that one. Looks saucy!

[Jo]

I'm reading Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel and 1984
