Hi Mark,it was 1 misspelling and about 4 words merged into the next without a space,i'll have a quick scan and see if i can find them.

[Lorraine]

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

[Robert]

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.

[Alex]

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.

[Elle]

FINALLY bloody finished Life, the Universe and Everything

[Natasha]

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

[Elle]

Ha. I probably remember just as little as you. Too many made-up names for me to really process it all really.

[Michael]

I've just finished Abandon, which I enjoyed.

I've started If Only for a Moment

[Jud]

You trying to tell us you're stoned Elle?

[Elle]

Hahaha, of course not!

[Elle]

i started Memory Palace earlier which is just glorious

[Fiona (Titch)]

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.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Elle! Where's your big stick?

[Natasha]

The one she doesn't smoke while she's reading?

[Elle]

*gets out big stick*


*sharpens it*

[Nigel]

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).

[Lorraine]

Finished Fallen Idols,was OK.started The Burning.

[Michael]

I've just finished reading If Only for a Moment, which was ok:

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

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

[Michael]

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

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

[Karen]

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

[Patti (baconater)]

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

[Natasha]

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.

[David]

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.

[Trina]

I've just finished which is a fantastic YA dystopia novel which I would definitely recommend to others and just started which I'm really excited about reading, its another YA dystopia with lots for 4 & 5 star ratings!

[A.L.]

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.

[Kath]

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]

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.

[Jud]

I'm still working on War and Peace but I did read Pride and Prejudice over the weekend to break up the former

[Patti (baconater)]

read Jonathan's Letter for Maureen on the beach earlier.
excellent book.
could someone please link it for me?

[Jud]

A Letter for Maureen

[Elle]

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

[Karen]

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

[Debbie]

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!

[Elle]

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]

Delighted to hear that Elle - they are all great books :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

did you hear the time hunters has been plagarized by some publishing house?
i read something about it on Facebook

[Lance]

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.

[Michael]

I've just finished The Hell Season, which I rather enjoyed:

There's a thread on Amazon started by Carl. Hope he can do something about it.

[Karen]

Will go and look.

[Patti (baconater)]

i discovered a Ruth rendell on my kindle that id not read before. didn't think that'd be possible.
love her stuff but jeez she gets into my head.

[Michael]

I've just finished The Longest Fall, which is an excellent sci-fi short story:

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

I'm now onto The Graveyard Speaks

[Elle]

finished The Sign of Four

[Michael]

I've finished reading The Graveyard Speaks, it's an ok ghost story, but could have been so much better:

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

I'm now onto Followed

[Elle]

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.

[Elle]

i just can't even stomach Alice in Wonderland any longer. what utter bollocks.

[Karen]

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.

This amused me no end.
