I away for the week and forgot my book. I bought Please Don't Come Back from the Moon by Dean Bokopoulos. I thought it was excellent. It was quite dark. Not a lot to smile about with this book.

Sarah Caffrey | 45 comments Hey Vicki I started reading it yesterday and cudn't put it down, I thinks its brilliant really interested int he story and whats going to happen with Ayla and the Clan. Bit scary thinking about the 8 yrs olds been mothers though.. Sat up till the early hours myself reading it which probably wasnt the best idea since I'm in work and tired now LOL...

aprilla I lately finished reading Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follett) which I enjoyed and then the DD Warren series by Lisa Gardner but am having trouble getting 'into' anything else since, it's a good series.
I tried A Discovery of Witches as it was recommended but noooo, not for me! Am going to join in your April Group Read in hopes it'll get me out of this slump :)

Elaine Maynard Finally got my hands on The Fry Chronicles, can't wait to start reading it also picked up The Post Birthday World by Lionel Shriver. Vibes and Scribes have a bit of a sale on at the moment so some good bargains to be had.

Sarah Caffrey | 45 comments Aprilla I loved a discovery of witches... Can't believe you didn't get into it but sure maybe you will have a better luck with American god's I'm looking forward to reading that one and seen what the general opinion is!!

I got the Post Birthday World after I read We Need To Talk About Kevin, the first Lionel Shriver I tried and I loved it. Never got around to reading it tho so will look forward to your opinion when you get to it

Elle (louiselesley) Hi, so this is my first post and I thought it was a pretty good one to start off. Technically I'm Northern Irish but heh, let's not fight over semantics.

I started the Darren Shan series yesterday and I feel like I'm loosing IQ reading it. I just finished True Grit and compared to that - this book is like reading something a 12 year old wrote.

Dem Just finished Between Shades of Grayabout a lithuanian family sent to work camps in Siberia during the reign of Stalin and the Second World War. This is a book that stays with you long after you have read it.

Eileen (elbry1972) | 4 comments I am reading The Book of Lost Things and finding it hard going. It is not the type of book I would usually choose but it was a gift from a friend. We usually share the same taste in books but I am not sure about this one!

Katie Mcsweeney (applekoko19) Ohh Eileen, give The Book of Lost Things time, stick with it. :) I loved it!


message 68: by [deleted user] (new)

I really enjoyed the book of lost things. I like it's reconstruction of the classic fairy tales. Give it a bit longer.


message 69: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) I just started yesterday the Sherlock Holmes series again. I haven't read them since I was younger and I really can't wait to read them all again!
