I burned through those. They are oddly addicting. What do you think of the main character?

Still has all the 'angst' and uncertainty of youth-- but that inner core keeps her capable of discernment. Pretty amazing.

then read and finished the handmaids tale by margaret atwood - read for book club - very interesting but wouldnt read again
finally finished adventures of shrlock holmes for book club - very amusing
now tossing up between the red queen - philippa gregory, the ragged trouser philanthopists - robert tressell, perfume - patrick suskind
i cant decide which?


What a charming story! I recommend Sarah's second novel The Bungalow as well!!"
Thanks Stacey! Will read that asap. I am a fan of her work now. Indeed it's a charming story. I shed gallons of tears in this book. :)

@Liz,
Good Luck! I don't think I could easily decide between those three. They all sound good to me.

ELIC is such a great book, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I think I'm giving up on The Next Always by Nora FRoberts. Have read 50 pages and I'm not that eager to read on. So I now get to choose two reads-one in book form and one for my I PAD. Fun ahead choosing what to read.
9 books at once...can't remember them all. I just read bits from them until I get into a flow and finish one. It's the fastest way I have of reading books quickly.

Yeah, Oskar is a really well-developed character, although the plot sometimes got a bit confusing- when he switched the narrator. Still, brilliantly written!


any closeness to Name of the wind? cos i saw rothfuss praising it somewhere :)

patrick rothfuss :)

I just read the synopsis of Name of the Wind and, no, it doesn't sound like Daughter of Smoke & Bone is the same type of story - other than that they are both fantasy. But, uh, WOW, now I want to read your book too! LOL!

This was the the first YA to ever win the title of Best Book of the Year for me...it is just brilliant!
I also highly recommend her book of short stories called Lips Touch Three Times. Three short stories about first kisses!



Hi I hated this book whoops sorry

I was reading Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden by Cathrynne Valente. I like her writing but I keep picking this one up and the putting it down. It doesn't hold me, but I like having it. Its very long but so was Dr Strange and Mr Norrell and I couldn't put that down.



I enjoyed that book as well.


I would suggest reading the Pat and Angie series (you are currently reading the first one) in order since it makes a difference to the relatonship of these two people. And I would agree that Lehane is a good author for his genre except for This Given Day. A bit too long winded for me.

I read this series up to Gone, Baby, Gone. I'm just rereading the series because I enjoyed it a lot.

RJ, that is one of my absolute FAVORITE books - I read it for the first time as an adult and fell in love with it. I'm glad you gave it another chance!




How do you like the Dennis Lehane book? I read Moonlight Mile about a year ago, and loved it, but then read another Kenzie and Gennaro book and didn't like it as much.

I am enjoying it actually! It was a group read from one of my mystery groups on here, so not exactly something I would probably choose on my own .. but it is definitely keeping my interest!


I really liked Clockwork Angel!
I'm about to start reading
