[Dustin]

I just finished the ruins. i usually dont read horror, but the movie was good. now im reading a book called Ourra by sean kristan, which is fantasy. I'm finding it pretty good. I'll be done tonight, then Im gonna re-read game of thrones

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Started a Lee Child book and Ultimate justice, both of which are good

[David]

I need to read more, if only there was more time. I finished Ruth Rendel's Portobelo ages ago, and have started nothing new.

[Natasha]

On Saturday I finished Get Anyone to Do Anything by David J. Lieberman, which was excellent. And A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf, which became incomprehensible and a bit of a chore again.

I'm now 40% through Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, which I'm rather enjoying.

I see I have to mither you into reading another book.

A Minette Walters, I think.

Hmmmmm

Which one?

[Lexie]

On another forum someone has just announced that a writer should try to read at least one book a day. I can only assume that she doesn't write much, or doesn't sleep (or indeed work, do housework, feed family, talk to cats, talk to anyone else ...)

[Michael]

I've posted my review for 'Monster Avengers' by Rosen Trevithick and 300 monstrously talented children and it's a monstrously fun read :-)

I'm now onto 'Voyeurs of Death' by Shaun Jeffrey - the first story was excellent.

I can't stand not reading every day!! I think Patti's recommendation of Minette Walters is a good one, I have one of hers to read this year.

Blimey - I think that is only possible if you read really short books, or as you say, don't do much else!!

[Michael]

I make sure I have at least an hour for reading every day, but reading a whole book a day would mean I didn't get anything else done :-)

[Kath]

I read for several hours every day and it still takes me 3 or 4 days to get through a book.

[Jud]

I kind of hope that was a typo/grammatical error and she meant to read from a book at least once a day rather than starting and finishing an entire book once a day

And never read Virginia Woolf.

[Stuart]

always read Virginia Woolf! ;-)

[Debbie]

Not been in here for a while - sorry everyone! I've been editing a good few stories for an anthology, so my "just-finished-just-started" would be a novel-length read in itself.

However, aside from the anthology editing I am "reading" The Magical Tragical Life of Edward Jarvis Huggins by the fine Mr. Stuart Ayris.

[Lexie]

Just put it on my Want to Read list based on Kath's review!

[Debbie]

Lexie wrote: "Just put it on my Want to Read list based on Kath's review!"

A very good plan! It's awesome. I'm prepping it for print at the same time as reading it, or that's what I'm supposed to be doing, but I have to keep forcing myself not to get sucked in!

[Natasha]

Stuart wrote: "always read Virginia Woolf! ;-)"

I can't spot any Virginia Woolf on your shelves, Stuart. Are you resting?

[Stuart]

Haven't updated my shelves for a while Natasha - inherently disorganised!

Hah! You wonderful lady!

[David]

Started reading , and - this last one isn't out officially yet, but it looks good so far and has been compared - in a good way - with Mr Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane. He does his own covers too and this one is lovely.

[Dustin]

good suggestions here, i like the sounds of Voyeurs of Death, thanks everyone

i would recommend Ourra by sean kristan, i got a few of my friends to read it and they all liked it.. and any of the Shannara books, they shockingly hadnt heard of those before either

[Kath]

Just finished Juggling Balls and I'm waiting for the author to reply to his PM!

[David]

Kath wrote: "Just finished Juggling Balls and I'm waiting for the author to reply to his PM!"

He's replied hasn't he?

Or at least he thinks he has.

[Kath]

Nope. :)

[David]

Kath wrote: "Nope. :)"

He has sent another reply, or so I hear anyway.

Feel free to shout at him if this one doesn't turn up either.

[Kath]

Message received and understood. Roger, wilko - oh no, that's a shop. :)

[David]

Anyway, I'm glad that mystery is resolved, if not solved. Wilko to me is a guitarist rather than a shop, but that just shows where my priorities lie.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've finished Embers & Ice - Isabella Modra. I'm reading The Billion Dollar Bachelor - Jackie Ashenden.

[Patti (baconater)]

I finished Push a couple days ago. I don't usually read 'woe us me, my life sucks' books but I read this because of a reccie from a friend at work.

Seeing the language evolve as the book went on was fascinating and very well done but the events were very disturbing.

Seems the book was made into a film.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've finished The Billion Dollar Bachelor - Jackie Ashenden. Now I am about to read The Billion Dollar Bad Boy - Jackie Ashenden.

[Michael]

A double dip of reviews today, the first is an interesting short story called 'The Face of God' by Christopher Owen:



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

The second is a superb collection of horror short stories called 'Voyeurs of Death' by Shaun Jeffrey:



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



I'm now onto Acid Sky by Mark Anson.

[Bob]

I've just finished The Quarry

And going to start The Fault in Our Stars later, to see what all the fuss is about. :-)

[Joo]

I just finished The Dead Room by Robert Ellis
This was a serial killer mystery legal thriller and I rather enjoyed it.
I am now reading a pre-release that is so out of my normal reading choices. However, nothing this author has written would normally appeal to me, but he's a great writer and I enjoy reading his works.

[Kath]

Mysterious! :)

[Paul]

I read the dead room, I liked it too pretty good
I was thinking of fault in our stars as well
I just finished Ourra as suggested by dustin and it was good too



cant decide whats next for me

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I finished and reviewed The Billion Dollar Bad Boy - Jackie Ashenden. I am now going to read The Billionaire Biker - Jackie Ashenden.

[Marc]

finished


Barney's Version

will start tomorrow

[Joo]

Kath wrote: "Mysterious! :)"

You have read one of his books and gave it a 5*

[Kath]

Okay - Mysterious but good! ;)
I wonder if I'm reading that too?

You could join in our reading of The Martian Chronicles. :)

Catalina?

That's the one!

I really enjoyed Extremely Loud. Are you reading it in paperback rather than Kindle? There are quite a lot of "visuals" in it that might not be as striking on the kindle.

I just finished God Is an Astronautwhich is really really good and just started Suddenly Last Summer. Which is a totally different read, one I won't have to think about, just enjoy.

[Michelle]

I finished Crown of Midnight last night and have moved onto Sabriel this afternoon really enjoying it so far :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Michelle wrote: "I finished Crown of Midnight last night and have moved onto Sabriel this afternoon really enjoying it so far :-)"

Hmmm.

Claire rated it five stars and DM only gave it two.

SabrielI mean.

I do like the friends reviews and ratings thingy in here.

[Michelle]

I do too it gives you a general idea of thoughts from potentially like minded readers. I'll admit to only being 8% in so it has plenty of opportunity to go bad but also plenty of opportunity to surprise me.

I like that her powers seem to be surrounded by death it's an interesting take on the usual I have strong magic, all shall bow down to me type strength.

[Jim]

Just finished One Shot by Lee Child. It's the first Jack Reacher story I've read.
I only bought it Friday and I didn't get a chance to read yesterday, 495 pages.
It is a good thriller, a good story. It's the sort of book I'd call a summer read. It's a 'carry in your pocket and read when you crash out' sort of paperback. I cannot see me buying new ones, but I suspect I'll keep my eyes open in charity shops ;-)

[David]

I agree with you on Lee Child Jim. Easy reads: easy to pick up and put down at any point in the story.

[Patti (baconater)]

Lee Child = brain candy.

I prefer a nice, juicy Jackie Collins. :D
