What are you reading at the moment?


Joanne--you are still sick too huh? My dr has decided to call in antibiotics for me at the pharmacy--he is afraid I might have walking pneumonia since I am at risk with chronic bronchitis and COPD--feel a little better today--will post you on FB.



Right now I'm just getting started on Blood Bond


What were the historical novels, Chris?



No, I bought The Gallows Curse when it first came out in paperback, but I've not got to it. A case of a book I had to have, but then others keep catching my attention too. I'm trying to read some of the paperbacks in the house before buying more this year, but I've not been very successful so far!







I loved World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War and I've heard that its gonna be a movie. I am definitely looking forward to that.
I've just gotten started on Saturday Comes: A Novel of Love and Vodou which has been good so far.

Kiss of the Night, my guilty pleasure
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights, a monthly read on the Arthurian ledgend - fascinating
The Sisters Brothers Easy Peasy monthly read
Smilla's Sense of Snow Around the world in 80 days read, and part of my DTB target - excellent so far
The Man In The Picture another ghost story by Susan Hill, marvellous!
Plus a couple I need to finish and return to the library. No time to sit here chatting!

Hi Carole,
The books are set in Victorian England, where Vampires and Werewolves are accepted in polite society. I won't give too much away because it would spoil it for you, but it's witty, there is an element of mystery and some romance. There are also some fabulous characters.
My 18 year old daughter is also reading them and enjoys them just as much as I do. I'm on my 3rd Blameless and collected a 4th from the library yesterday. Try the first Soulless and see what you think. It's reasonably short and easy to read.
