I got started on The Dovekeepers which I got a few weeks ago for a good price. So far is very interesting. I like some of Alice Hoffman's books but not all.

Still reading Dark Fire,
I've had to restart a few times, but about 230 pages in this time. Great story telling.
I also started The Tooth Fairy
, by Graham Joyce. This is the third book by this author I've read, and I really enjoy his style of writing.
Oh my Angela, you're really enjoying those Shardlake stories aren't you? I have a soft spot myself for them but I'm way behind you in the series.

Alice how did you get on with
The Dovekeepers. I liked it well enough at the time, but several weeks later, I like it more - odd!

Tammy, that looks really interesting, I will watch for your review. It doesn't appear to be in print anymore but I did see some second hand copies on Amazon.
At the mo I am reading
the first book in the Dresden Files series. I'm about a third of the way through and so far its really good.
im currently reading Hero of ages by brandon sanderson finally made it to the last book of the epic triology. really enjoying it

At the moment, I'm reading
and a yet-to-be published book about Anne of Cleves, for review. I've also started dipping into Undoing Perpetual Stress: The Missing Connection Between Depression, Anxiety and 21stCentury Illness. This is a mammoth book, but relatively up-to-date (2005) - looks very interesting.
Two books finished, two new ones started. Now reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Bullheaded Black Remembers Alexander: The Story of Alexander the Great's Invasion of the Middle East by J.L. Taylor. Looking forward to getting on with both :)
Just started Arnie's autobiography "Total Recall" - only on chapter 3 so far but it seems interesting , how he started bodybuilding etc - then got 2 more Rizolli & Isles books on order, thought the Arnie book wod be a bit different to the books I usually read!

It turns into a very different kind of story after that introductory chapter. I do think it was worth sticking with though, I learned things about Japanese history which I'd had no clue about.

I couldn't do it. I gave up and I am on to North of Beautiful which I am enjoying.
North of Beautiful
Life is too short to read boring or disgusting books!

Currently reading

. Very different and good in their own way, but I seem to have lost my reading mojo! Lack of time doesn't help, but I cannot seem to settle to a reading session!

no I haven't read the first book and didn't know there was one until I am 50 pages into this one. I think (hope) this one can stand on its own.

Im almost finished with The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams. Just started the Gypsy Morph by Terry Brooks.
The Town Below the Ground: Edinburgh's Legendary Underground City
I just finished this which I got on interlibrary loan and sure enjoyed the last half of it. The part about the chimney sweeps was too sad.

just finished Dark Eden and quite enjoyed it eventually. it was only when I could get my head around what was happening in the plot. now I have moved onto Vengeance, so far so good.
Amazon are currently selling all 3 of the Dominic Grey series by Layton Green for 99pence on kindle;The Summoner
The Egyptian
The Diabolist
I'm on my third and recommend
Hi I have just started The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen.. This will be the third book of his that I have read this year! (The last town on earth and The many deaths of the firefly brothers, being the other two).. It's started off well..!
just finished Skarsnik it was an awesome read I could imagine everything that happened within the plot. still reading Siege: To Green Angel Tower the plot is just going slow to get into I, but I will try to complete it as I would like to complete the series itself. just started The Red Knight
just gave up on The Red Knight as it was poor, I just couldn't understand what was happening as it get jumping between points of view. it could have been better if it didn't kept jumping between the different points of view.
but I am going start on reading Wool hopefully it will be a good book to read.
I am still reading Siege: To Green Angel Tower the plot is still fairly slow but I am going to push through it as I want to complete the series hopefully by the new year.
so what is everyone else currently reading?

just finished Siege To Green Angel Tower the plot picked up towards the end so im kinda looking forward to be reading the next one. started to read Wool, and the plot so far is ok but not that brilliant so I may end up giving up on it. but I shall be starting Storm Front today.
just finished Storm Front and it was fricking awesome I loved it. now im starting Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff. :) still reading wool
I'm reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. If I had known my partner wanted to read it with me, then audio. Bugger!
Magician by Raymond E. Feist. Having a blast with it and can't wait to move onto the second in the trilogy. Will be moving onto Ready Player One by Cline after this though first I think. Need a break from all these epic fantasy sagas I'm working my way through at the moment.
