Agreed.

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

Well i finished and now im reading

[Rea, Ghost]

I've given up on City of Bones for the time being. Started in prep for next week.

[[deleted user]]

I have Let the Right One In on order at the moment. Should get it at the end of the week, fingers crossed. Not sure what I'm going to do about The Shining yet - I've got a few big books on my Oct TBR list and I doubt I'm going to get around to it in time but I will try!

I just finished and figured, as it was the last in a trilogy, I should round off the Uglies series too with .

[Jeshu]

I'll go to my library today to see if the shining is available :D
I'm still struggling with city of bones, and I'm halfway for the banned books challenge. My mind right now is a crossover where Alex and his druggies give a little bit of the good ol' ultraviolence to Clary and Co. It would be a dream come true.

I'm thinking I might go to the library for The Shining too if I get around to reading it. I've read a couple of Stephen King books before and they're okay but not sure I want buy another one.

I've never read A Clockwork Orange, the film gave me the chills enough. Those two worlds would be a strange cross-over indeed.

[Rea, Ghost]

I'm hoping the boyfriend's got The Shining tucked away somewhere so I won't have to buy it. XD

If he doesn't maybe you should hint that he should 'magically' find a copy ;D

[Char]

Okay my lack of concentration has struck again. Not that it matters, I've read my 10 books for the month, anything else is a bonus. So I've picked up I'm nearly halfway through (after 90 mins of reading) and I'm really enjoying it. It's nice to read a book that's good after something you don't.

[Pallak]

I am reading "Perfect Chemistry " by Simone Elkeles . And it's just AWESOME ! it's more than perfect ! :)

I was going to try hinting that I'm sure that he would like to read The Shining and see whether that would get him to buy it! =D Of course, to get him to buy anything I'd have to get him to detach himself from his computer - not an easy task now that he's started studying again.

Someone recommended that to me when I was looking for a heart-warming romance but I couldn't find it in an ebook format. (I read instead which hit the spot!) If it's really that good I might splash out on the paperback next time I am doing a haul on Amazon. :D

[R.L.]

Savor the Danger Just started this series with this book. I didn't realize at the time when I bought it that it was part of a series, but I'm enjoying it enough that I'll probably get the other books and read them as well.

[Pallak]

Emma , I don't even want to put the book down till i finish reading it. It's a story about two star-crossed lovers. A good girl falling for a bad guy ! You should definitely order this on Amazon. Read the back cover of the book and I'm pretty sure you'll like it ! :)

Lol, it sounds like that is a very enthusiastic thumbs up from you. It's on my wish list. ;)

[Pallak]

OMG. You're a writer. Wow !

Pallak wrote: "OMG. You're a writer. Wow !"

I am - just starting out really and a reaction like prompted a huge smile from me! :D

[Jason]

Just finished Cat's Cradle. Gonna start The Gunslinger.

[April]

I'm reading The Lucky One by Nicholas Spark. I'm really enjoying his books. I definitely like the style of writing he has!

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

Yay Criminal Minds!

[Jeshu]

I'm reading for the october read, and , which I left behind for the sake of Georgia Nicolson (which I devoured)

[Char]

I am reading: Well I will be tomorrow anyway.

By "tomorrow" I mean Monday lol. :P

[louise]

I've finished and now I'm reading for the October Group Read. I've read thr first four chapters before, but never got round to finishing it.

[Hayley]

I am now reading - the 4th bleedin' book that's a narrator reminiscing about part of his past - and written that way the whole time so far (seriously, is there an annual theme for MBP shortlist books or what?)

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

I am going to be reading , my sister said it was good. :D

[Rea, Ghost]

Ah, A Monster Calls is the one where he wrote someone else's story that they never got to finish because they sadly passed away, right?

I've been told we have The Shining, but I can't find it. I think we might only have it in his imagination.

I'm reading . Having not been able to concentrate all week, it's been really nice to actually be able to get some reading done! I've got another circa 150 pages to go. Then I'll go back to Let the Right One In.

Yeah thats right.

[Char]

Siobhan Dowd died of breast cancer, it's a shame because she was a stunning writer. I read Solace of the Road by her earlier in the year. I gave it 4 stars.

[Rea, Ghost]

Lots of good writers seem to be passing away. :( Sara Douglass died of cancer earlier this week. I was gutted when I read that Dick King Smith died in January. It was like a part of my childhood had died with him.

[Char]

I know! :( It's awful! Wait! What? Dick King Smith died? :'(

[Rea, Ghost]

Yes. :( Dick King Smith and Pete Postlethwaite died within days of each other. I was really upset because they were both such influential figures during my childhood. I mean, I must have read most of the King Smith books when I was little (and plan on reading them to my own kids when I have them) and Postlethwaite was Brassed Off (which I watched over and over between the ages of about 7 and 12.)

[Char]

That's very sad indeed. Classic children's authors are the best. I mean, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Dick King Smith, they're all in a league of their own.

[Rea, Ghost]

Yes but Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl were already long dead by the time I learnt to read. Dick King Smith was one of those presences who you just assume will go on and on and on and never die (you know, like the Queen.)

[Char]

That's true, but they're still 2 of the greatest kids writers IMO. I know what you mean. I thought he'd just live until he was 1,000,000 years old. (I know. The Queen just doesn't wanna go.)

[Rea, Ghost]

True. Precisely! I was pretty sure I'd end up dying before he did. (She doesn't. But then her mum lived to 101 so she could have another 20 years ahead of her!)

[Char]

I know me too! (That's true. Poor Charles, he'll never make it to the throne. :P)

[Varian Rose]

I recently finished and thought it was amazing.

My review is short because I couldn't put into words the emotional rollercoaster I went through while reading it. Think C.S. Lewis/J.R.R. Tolken/Stephen King/H.P. Lovecraft.

Next I'll be reading . I know, I know, I mentioned it on the !!Do Not Read This Book!! thread but I can't remember why I hated it so much....

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

I'm going back to my historical fiction pile:

Oooh, living on the edge! Seriously though, you're willing to reread a book you don't like, even if you can't remember why? That's dangerous ;)

[Clare]

Have started to read 'The Memory of Love' by Aminatta Forna.

Yes, it is dangerous...then again I didn't like Rebecca the first time I tried to read it, then gave it another chance and ended up loving it. I'm hoping the awesomeness of Angel Fall rubs off on Redeeming Love.

[Hayley]

Ah, well in that case I shall keep my fingers crossed for you :D Good luck!

[Char]

I'm gonna be starting tomorrow. And by "tomorrow" I mean Wednesday... (What am I like? lol)

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading Let the Right One In but I have a feeling it's going to get put on the back burner a few times this month. First I was distracted all weekend from it by The Night Circus and tomorrow Silence is going to magically appear in my Kindle inventory because I had it on pre-order from ages ago.

(Char - I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Replacement in the favourites challenge btw.)

[Terri ♥ (aka Mrs. Christian Grey)]

I'm reading A Kiss of Shadows.

[Shannon]

I'm reading and .

Awesome... I'm having a few problems with my review though so it may take me a while. :)

[Rea, Ghost]

I won in a giveaway last month. Finally getting around to reading it now.

(As a side note, I dislike how the Kindle does % instead of pages so I have to count the pages for myself!)

I really don't like that either. Still not used to it and I've been using mine since the New Year!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I like to know how much of a book I'm looking at and with only a % I don't really have a clear idea. We should mount a campaign to bring back the pages!
