Lorraine  | 575 comments I've finished mels Impeding Justice and started Fallen Idols,am about 10% in and good so far.

Robert Spake (ManofYesterday) | 328 comments Finished A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold - amazing. Taking a little break before starting the next book in the series so I'm reading The Lion's Skin.


message 5554: by Alex (new)

Alex (alexjames) | 15 comments I read A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold not too long ago. I think that was a very good Game of Thrones book. One of the best.

I'm now reading Legends of Origin 1: Sanctuary for the Devil by Vanessa Finaughty. It's currently available on smashwords. It's a fantasy adventure book that speculates on the origin of the human race. Certainly a high quality read.

I read that stoned in the mid nineties. When I reached the end I realised I couldn't remember a thing.


message 5557: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Ha. I probably remember just as little as you. Too many made-up names for me to really process it all really.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) | 942 comments I have just read and reviewed Just Add Spice - Carol E. Wyer. I loved the characters and the book. Now I am off to read and review Tatterdemon - Steve Vernon for the author.

message 5566: by Nigel (new)

Nigel Bird (nigelbird) | 167 comments I'm catching up with a backlog of holiday reading reviews, but the one I'm putting up now is for the hugely entertaining Hard Bite which involves a trained assassin monkey. I've just moved on to Doug Johnstone's latest Gone Again (so far, so good).

I'm now onto The Hell Season, which is off to a good start.


message 5569: by Michael (new)

Michael Brookes (technohippy) I've also just read Weird Tales issue 360 which contains some excellent horror stories, especially if you like Lovecraft's cthulhu mythos.

message 5570: by Karen (new)

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments Finished Blessed Are Those Who Thirst, which wasn't a patch on her first one, The Blind Goddess. Now getting into Life of Pi, which is fine if I skim thru the religious bumph, cos the animal info is great fun


message 5571: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments i just finished doing a beta read of Michael Cargill 's saying goodbye to Warsaw.
all i can say is that the world is in for a treat when its published.
gonna be tricky choosing my next read. it'd like to let Mike's book perculate for a bit but the weather is too crap to not read something


message 5572: by Natasha (new)

Natasha Holme (natashaholme) | 832 comments Just finished The Vatican Cellars by Andr&eactue; Gide. Really good fun once the story was developed enough for me to care.

Just starting Once You Break a Knuckle by D.W. Wilson.


message 5573: by David (new)

David Hadley Just finished Fall of Giants which wasn't too bad, if a bit too much of people telling each other about current moments of great historical import.

Now reading Gone Girlbecause all the talk about it got me curious.


message 5574: by Trina (new)

Trina | 7 comments I've just finished Jaxon Prayer by Rachel West which is a fantastic YA dystopia novel which I would definitely recommend to others and just started The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes which I'm really excited about reading, its another YA dystopia with lots for 4 & 5 star ratings!


message 5575: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 1608 comments I would just like ti say I recently finished A Goodreads Gallimaufrey. Nice lot of stories. I will need to go back and read them through again to comment on individual ones but an excellent "dipping" book.


message 5576: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Just finished Stealing Power by Bo Brennan - a recent arrival here in this group. It's a real nail-biting thriller and I recommend it to all you crime fans. I've just given it a five star review and it's appeared on my blog.

Mark Faulkner (markrfaulkner) | 464 comments I'm still working through 'for whom the bell tolls' and it's picked up again now after a slow bit but am also dipping into Ramsey Campbell's 'Companions'
Need to get them both finished this week as I've pre-ordered Mark Lawrence's, Emporer of Thorns which will be magically delivered to my kindle on the 1st.


message 5578: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I'm still working on War and Peace but I did read Pride and Prejudice over the weekend to break up the former


message 5579: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments read Jonathan's Letter for Maureen on the beach earlier.
excellent book.
could someone please link it for me?


message 5581: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments reading some library picks so i can take some back and pick up a few requests tomorrow so i finished Sin City, Vol. 1: The Hard Goodbye earlier


message 5582: by Karen (new)

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments Just finished the delightful Life of Pi, while sitting in the garden. Now starting The House at Sea's End


message 5583: by Debbie (new)

Debbie McGowan (debbiemcgowan) | 245 comments Just finished (last week) Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin - not my kind of story, I must admit, but enjoyable nonetheless.

As predicted, I didn't get any further than chapter 1 of The Eyre Affair, so I've just started reading The Killer Trees by David E. Manuel instead. I did 6% on the cross-trainer this morning and hit a heartrate of 198, so maybe need to pay more attention to what I'm doing, not what I'm reading!


message 5584: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments just finished The Time Hunters and loved it so much i had to buy the next two. won't be reading them straight away (as start another book) but hopefully will get to them ASAP!!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Delighted to hear that Elle - they are all great books :-)


message 5586: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments did you hear the time hunters has been plagarized by some publishing house?
i read something about it on Facebook


message 5587: by Lance (last edited Jul 25, 2013 11:59PM) (new)

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) Just finished Mission to Paris , Alan Furst's latest excursion into interwar European intrigue. All the familiar Furstian tropes, atmosphere and attitudes are here, which may lead to some deja vu if you're a regular. Four stars if you've never read Furst before; three stars if you have.

Read my review here.

Mission to Paris (Night Soldiers, #12) by Alan Furst

Michael Brookes (technohippy) I've just finished The Hell Season, which I rather enjoyed:

message 5593: by Michael (new)

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

I'm now onto Followed


message 5596: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments i finished One Bloody Thing After Another: The World's Gruesome History which i did enjoy actually.

i started Alice in Wonderland which is a total snorefest so far but i refuse to be beaten by a 89page story.

i also re-started Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone since i haven't really looked at it in months and got over half the way through yesterday. probably will finish at some point tomorrow.


message 5597: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments i just can't even stomach Alice in Wonderland any longer. what utter bollocks.


message 5598: by Karen (new)

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments Weird. Cos the JKR book I first read was called Harry Potter & the Philospher's Stone (it's a 1997 edition). So when did they change the name? and more importantly, why?

I believe it's a UK/US thing. Some books are titled differently in the States.
