message 1801: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) This morning whilst I laid in bath I finished Hostile Witness - Rebecca Forster, which was not as good as I had expected at the beginning, but near the end it started getting better. Now I am about to embark on Poison Study - Maria V. Snyder which has been recommended to me.

message 1804: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. The book was a bit of a disappointment really. I've read most of Spark's books and I think I'm too used to his writing style. I found the plot of the story to be extremely predictable and slighty unrealistic. But if you've never read a Nicholas Spark novel before, you'd probably like it.

Now I'm about to start reading Ford County by John Grisham by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

Starting Beastly (Kendra Chronicles #1) by Alex Flinn :)


message 1819: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom by Christopher Ransom this morning. This book was one of the worst horror novels I've read in my entire life. It wasn't even the slightest bit scary. The author's writing style is terrible and I felt like most of the book was written by a horny 12-year-old. The whole plot was confusing and I disliked all the characters. I ended up not really caring what happened to any of them. This book is definitely one to avoid.

Now I'm about to begin The Green Mile by Stephen King by Stephen King.

message 1824: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I just finished The Green Mile by Stephen King by Stephen King earlier today and I absolutely loved it. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and The Green Mile has got to be one of the best novels he has ever written. In fact, it's one of the best novels I have ever read in my entire life. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down! It is very beautifully written and extremely moving at times. The plot is original, gripping and heart-breaking. I'd give this book more than five stars if I could! My full review is here.

Now I'm about to start The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson by Shirley Jackson.

message 1829: by Sam (new)

Sam (sam222) I'm reading The Cat Who Went Up the Creek (Cat Who..., #24) by Lilian Jackson Braun . Last one I have then I'm on to scarier books.


message 1830: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Earlier, I finished reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson by Shirley Jackson. I was disappointed by this book to be honest. I felt the novel did not live up to the reputation it has gotten. I just felt like it was missing something. Plus I disliked all the characters and the strange dialogue between them really annoyed me. This is one novel where the movie, or in this case movies, are better than the book. My full review is here.

Next I'm going to read The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #1) by Anne Rice by Anne Rice.

message 1837: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Earlier today, I finished reading The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #1) by Anne Rice by Anne Rice. The Witching Hour is an extremely long novel, 1207 pages, but don't let that put you off reading as once you open the first page you soon find yourself completely absorbed in the chilling tale of the Mayfair Witches. This novel has a spellbinding, engrossing, well-written tale with complex and mysterious characters. There are plenty of compelling twists and turns in the plot to keep you interested and the suspense is drawn out to perfection. The novel is completely unpredictable, I found the ending to be quite a shock! My full review can be found here.

Now, I'm about to start The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving by Washington Irving and Frankenstein (Penguin Classics) by Mary Shelley by Mary Shelley.

message 1846: by Varian Rose (new)

Varian Rose Transcend by Christine Fonseca was awesome.

I DNF Lover Reborn (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #10) by J.R. Ward and wrote an angry review. This used to be one of my favorite series, but it fell apart with this book.

I'm currently reading Affinity by Sarah Waters .


message 1847: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Earlier I finished reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley by Mary Shelley. This novel turned out to be nothing like what I was expecting. I was expecting a generic horror story about a monster but what I got was so much more complex, it's actually quite a philosophical story really. I was extremely surprised and impressed by the actual story itself. I really enjoyed this book and I'm happy I finally got around to reading this classic. My full review is here.

I'm planning to read Eleven on Top (Stephanie Plum, #11) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich next.
