Just finished Best Kept Secret (yep, fast even for me) absolutely brilliant series of books, don't be put off by the author. Now reading The Doomsday Prophecy will be another quick one as I have a week off work & two days of travelling

[Lynda]

Just finished Estelle Ryan's The Gauguin Connection.

Absolutely loved this fast-paced mystery with a heroine with a difference - she suffers from high-functioning autism, and retreats into Mozart in order to cope with the sort of life and social interaction we all think of as 'normal'.

Very different and very recommended.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Last night I finished Roomies - Sara Zarr

[Lorraine]

It's been ages since i've updated,i finished Never Somewhere Else,started and finished The Rosary Girls,Darkness Under the Sun,Lullaby,Sullivan's Law and now i'm starting andys No More Tears.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am going to read Three Gentlemen of Verona: The Lovelife of London Society - Gianni Ventura.

Review book for Netgalley lol

[Sam]

Just finished

Unusually gentle and thoughtful for a post-apocalyptic work. Rather poignant, too. Enjoyed.

Thanks Lynda. Sounds just my cup of tea.

[Jud]

I finished The Hollow which I think has been my least favourite Agatha Christie book so far but it was still good. I've started The Labours of Hercules

[Lynda]

You're welcome, Karen. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm just debating whether to buy the next in the series The Dante Connection but it's £3.81. Still, I got the first one free - and they're good lengthy reads - so I might treat myself come payday.

[Jud]

I also finished The Labours of Hercules last night and will be starting Taken at the Flood

[Jim]

Just started The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
Bought it a few years back and its hung about in the pile until now. It is a gem

Adolescent adj Recovering from boyhook
Adore vt To venerate expectantly
Age, n That period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we have no longer the enterprise to commit.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

boyhook?

[Jim]

not a word in this version, but there are later ones

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I can think of a couple of tasteless jokes, but I will restrain myself.

[Jim]

Are you feeling quite yourself?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well I'm not feeling anyone else!

[Jud]

Who's feeling me if it isn't you then?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Errmm.. it may be your work colleagues.

[Michael]

I've given up on The Making...: Mystery Novel, it started well but went down rapidly after then. I've now started Redemption Protocol, hopefully that will be better :-)

[Karon]

I finished , which was a quick easy read and typical Jodi Picoult, although I felt it didn't delve into the issues as fully as it could have.
I've started . This is the third book in the series. I think these books are fairly unknown over here as they are an Australian based young adult series. A really good series based on Australia being invaded by an un-named country, while a group of children are camping in the bush. It tells of their fight to get news of their families and some retaliation.

[Lexie]

Just finished Rachel Abbot's Only the Innocent - I know, everyone else on UK Kindle Forum has probably read it already, so you all know it's a very well written, deeply disturbing page-turner of a thriller, the kind where you keep yelling at the main character, 'No! Can't you see he's ... it's ... Don't be so stupid!' and then wonder if indeed you would have been just as stupid yourself in the circumstances.

[Adele]

Just finished The Doomsday Prophecy and A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets OMG how wonderful is Bob. Now onto NYPD Red and No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden two books that have been on my to read list for a very long time. In fact I'm finally going through my to read list in order and knocking them off

[Lorraine]

I've just bought a street cat named bob to read on my holiday,i think he has written a sequal as well.

[Natasha]

Just finished Mother Tongue: English And How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson (Review).

Just started We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver.

[David]

Just Finished The Lies of Locke Lamora - a nice one - and Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need - very useful for fiction writers, even though it is about screenplay writing.

Just started Broken Angels which is the follow-up to A Terrible Beauty (called White Bones here) which was pretty good. But then I've always liked Masterton's stuff.

[Karen]

Was tempted to get 'A Terrible Beauty' but thought it might be a bit too graphic...
In his GR biography he says he's a horror writer. And he's written sex books. Which is interesting as the biog also says, 'Graham went on to edit the new British menis magazine Mayfair'. Now that's an interesting genre, menis. Sort of horror/sex & men combined. Maybe I shd have another look at that book of his...

[T4bsF (Call me Flo)]

Just Finished - The House At Riverton by Kate Morton and thoroughly enjoyed this mix of Downton, Atonement and Titanic.

Just Started - Stealing Power by Bo Brennan

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

just finished Forsaken by Rosie Goodwin, was going to start another of hers but decided to read a non fiction by Dean Koontz. Still struggling with Witches of Eastwick. In fact, just decided to change my paperback to one that will help with my A-Z challenge

[Jud]

Another Agatha Christie down, I finished Taken at the Flood must go find out what one is next on my list to read.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've given up on Three Gentlemen of Verona: The Lovelife of London Society - Gianni Ventura (just couldn't understand it.) So now I am reading Escaping Reality - Lisa Renee Jones.

[Lexie]

Started Martyr by Rory Clements, his first in a planned series. Very descriptive writing in a fast-moving plot - quite dense, so I had to change my pace a bit.

[Karon]

I've finished A Killing Frost. This is the third in the Tomorrow series. Looking forward to reading the next one.
I've started Dolores Claibornewhich is on the bottom of my old books to-read list.

[Kath]

Just - well a day or so ago - started Ethan Justice: Relentless - read and really enjoyed the first!

[Andrew]

David wrote: "Just Finished The Lies of Locke Lamora - a nice one..."

I loved that, and its sequel. The third book in the series, The Republic of Thieves is finally out after a long delay.

I've just finished The Invisible Code, the latest in Christopher Fowler's very consistent Bryant and May series.

Have started L'homme aux cercles bleus (The Chalk Circle Man) which so far, is a little odd, a little confusing, and strangely compelling.

[David]

Karen wrote: "Was tempted to get 'A Terrible Beauty' but thought it might be a bit too graphic..."

Well, yes, it is a bit on the gory side in places. Maybe not suitable for anyone easily cringeable.

Thinking about it, there is a fair wodge of rumpy and a bit of pumpy in his books too.

From what I know of... er... have been told about Mayfair, menis is an amalgam of men and penis.

[Patti (baconater)]

Started to re-read The Shining today. This is my third or fourth read of it so I've practically got it memorised but I was to read it again before I start the sequel.

An ideal one to start on Halloween. I've started Dolores Claibourne. :)

[Jud]

I've started Crooked House, it sounds quite seasonal but it's no more scary than your average Agatha Christie... so far...

[Karen]

too much information!!

[David]

Karen wrote: "too much information!!"

I'd better not tell you what happens in Broken Angels then.

[Karen]

Thanks David. Best not...

I've just noticed my local library has obtained some Agatha Christie e-books. I think they have 6 so far including the two that are available everywhere.
I hope to start reintroducing myself to them soon.

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I finished my Halloween read which was Dying to Live - C.M. Wright.

[Adele]

I've just finished NYPD Red and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure why it got such a slating, especially on Goodreads, I've not read any of his other work though. Now starting The Good, The Bad and The Furry: Life with the World's Most Melancholy Cat and Other Whiskery Friends which looks utterly wonderful

[Jud]

I finished Crooked House and have started A Murder Is Announced

[Adele]

Just finished The Good, The Bad and The Furry: Life with the World's Most Melancholy Cat and Other Whiskery Friends in under 5hrs which was so brilliant & really cheered me right up, now onto Whispers Under Ground

[Lance]

Finished The Desperate , Part IV of the Trench Coats serial. Part IV marks the return of knight-in-tarnished-armor Jacob, an engaging character with a clear voice. Author James keeps a firm hold on the plot reins, making the action go down easy. Four stars.

Read the full review here.

[Patti (baconater)]

I've started Doctor Sleep

I really want to spend the day in bed reading but I must shop. We need food.

[David]

Just finished Broken Angels, which I think was better than the first one in the series. Very good, but probably not for the squeamish.

Just started Genghis: Lords of the Bowwhich is another sequel, part of a series. I really liked the first one, so I have high hopes for this one. I also like the look of his new one about the Wars of the Roses, Stormbird, which is on my lists of those to add to my list of books that need to go on a list.
