Haha, I'm suddenly seeing the downside to ereaders. Actually I think the one I want has Wi-Fi so I wouldn't need a plug to transfer files. XD I'm sure you'll find it. If you haven't hidden it on purpose. =P

She says this but Tara loves every book you put in front of her. =P Don't you Tara? =)

[Jeshu]

Oh, an ereader with wi-fi must be the most awesome thing on earth.
I have to find it anyway. This afternoon I'm moving back to my mother's house, so I can't leave without it XD

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

Char, mostly, i have put away 3 books, which i started to read but just couldnt get into it, but other than that then yes :) I am not as picky :)

[Char]

I assume it is. I'm not allowed one until Christmas.
Aaah, good luck hunting then. I can never find anything when I want it. XD

Oooh, I want to know the names of these books! Seriously, tell me. =P I know you aren't. At least you don't waste money on books you don't like. =)

[Jeshu]

Oh, I'm very picky... not as much as I used to be. I've relaxed as I became older XD

Me too. Tara has experienced my pickiness. Poor thing lol. XD I've actually got more fussy. =(

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

Well, i cnt remeber, but i know one thing, theres this series called the looking glass wars, and the third one, i suddenly stopped reading and i havent picked it up again, yet :/

Also Knife, i couldnt get into that books :/

[Char]

I've got one of the Looking Glass Wars in my bedroom. Aww. I'm like that soemtimes and then when I go back to it I can't remember what happened so I have to start again.

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

I bet that happens :( oh i hate leaving a book behind, i feel dead guilty :(

[Char]

I know. I get a little sad but now I'm getting back to my neglected books and am reading them. I'm quite proud of myself. =)

Peter, I have deleted your comment as it appears that you are just spamming a huge amount of groups with the same thing. We don't appreciate spam here at Basically Books! and I hope that you'll not do it again.

[Jeshu]

I just finished the iron king, and now I'll read shiver and the memory keeper's daughter :)

(Oh, hi! I was two days without internet at home :( I suffered, but I'm still alive! just in case you missed me)

[Rea, Ghost]

No internet! That sucks. :( I've got really really slow net here. I've gone from my 8MB (or 20MB, can never remember) connection to 512KB. It's like being run over by a tractor! Everything is so slow!

I'm going to start A Game of Thrones as soon as I find the book.

[Char]

Two days without internet? I feel your pain. We used to have really bad internet but we've got Sky now and they're awesome.

I'm reading it's bloomin' rubbish.

[Char]

I'm now reading

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading Fallen at the moment but I'm not finding it particularly riveting.

[Rea, Ghost]

Well, I started A Game of Thrones but the prospect of getting through 800 pages (of small print) only to have to take on 5 more books of 800 - 1k pages was a bit daunting. So I've put it to one side and picked up , which is only 600 pages (of equally small print).

Usually I always favour books over film/TV but I've decided not to read A Game of Thrones because I really enjoyed the TV series and I don't actually want to spoil it for myself.

From what I've heard, the book's better. I've only read the first couple of chapters of the book and seen the first few minutes of the first episode on TV, though, so I'm not reserving judgement.

However, there are already big differences. Like when the young good looking guy, the young scrawny guy and the old man go to look at the village of dead people? In the series the good looking guy and the old guy get their heads lopped off (for those who haven't seen the tv series this happens like 3 minutes in so I don't consider it a spoiler) but in the book the good looking guy is killed by those pale-eyed people but then he comes back to life as one of them and kills the scrawny guy. I don't know whether this has consequences later on, though.

A lot of fantasy buffs sing Martin's praise, so I certainly mean to both read the book(s) and watch the series.

[Char]

I'm now reading I've not been impressed by the previous efforts in the series so I'm not holding out much hope for this.

[louise]

I've finished and I'm now reading

I have great expectations for it, since the films are amazing. Hopefully the book will be amazing too :)

[Rea, Ghost]

Good luck with it then Louise! Usually the books are better than the movies, so I hope this is the case with that one too!

I finished The Painted Man. Took me like 4 days because every time I sat down to read someone came and talked to me. It blew me away. Absolutely fantastic high fantasy! Can't wait to get my mitts on book 2.

Taking a bit of a breather from the heavy duty stuff now before I tackle another heavy duty one. I discovered City of Masks on my bookshelf with a bookmark 70 pages in. Obviously it lost my interest first time around, so I figured I'd try it again!

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

Im reading , its really good so far :)

The Painted man was a great book! The second book in the series was not as good :(

I just started reading

[Char]

I'm now reading and thankfully it's the last in the series.

Oooh, Across the Universe is pretty high on my TBR pile. Let me know what you think of it. =)

I've heard that. That's a shame. I'm hoping he'll fix it all in the last part, though. Sometimes the best authors make like everything's gone wrong in the second book then they put it all back to rights and that makes you appreciate book 2 in a new light... other times they just screw it up even worse. But I'm being optimistic in this case!

[Robert]

I've just started Dracula by Bram Stoker. I'm only a short way in, but so far so good. Has anyone else here read it?

[louise]

I've read it, it took me quite a while to. But that's because I read other books inbetween.

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

I am now on the second book;

[Char]

I'm now reading by Lauren Kate. I finally finished all that P.C. Cast. =)

I haven't read it but I've got it as an (unabridged) audiobook and I've listened to it countless times. I really enjoy the story each and every time.

Currently reading five books, about to finish "Escape From Second Eden" By J.L. Murphey It is a great espoinage story of a family that is protecting the U.S. Ambassador when the country goes through a revolution and becomes Shi Lanka. The best part about the story is 70% of it is true! I am almost finished with it! It's been an awesome story and I highly recomend it! I will write a review of it when I finish it!

Wow! I can barely read one without getting hopelessly confused.

[Jeshu]

I just finished the memory keeper's daughter... beautiful. I think it's about time to read shiver xD I haven't read too much lately, nor been online because my boyfriend came to visit :P

Ooooh! Did you have a nice time with your boyfriend?

Back on topic I'm now reading by Siobhan Dowd I've got to be honest the story of the author is really interesting as this was published posthumously.

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading at the moment. I loved the film of The Notebook but I've never actually read any Nicholas Sparks before. Not sure this was the best one to start with - either it's a bit cliched or I'm getting really cynical in my old age.

[Rea, Ghost]

I've gone back to Game of Thrones. I'm on episode 3 of the series and just behind that in the book. There are differences. Daeneys is very very different!

Yay! Lol

Woo! I can't wait to see what you think of it. I quite like it but I'm really embarrassed that I do.

[Char]

I'm reading I can't wait to see what has been done to Jane Austen XD

[Jeshu]

I want to read that book too!!

Haha. I've had it on my TBR pile for ages. I'll let you know what I think of it. =D

I'll be looking forward to it :)

[Max18]

I have read a twist on the Pride and Prejudice book, where Mr Darcy and Wickham where vampires, in a family feud. Got pretty messy but the writing was fun to pick and compare; to see how the author compared. You will have to post you verdict on the zombie twist!!

I think I have that book somewhere. I know I definitely have on my TBR. I'll definitely post my feelings on the one I'm reading once I've finished it.

Just finished reading "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. It's a great story that I really enjoyed reading it till its last. The Finall Chapters were unexpected. The Verison I read was rewritten and I have to read the original one. I recommend who didn't read it, to read it!.

Would love to get to know some friends here
