Have you ever read Georgette Heyer, Lori? They are romantic adventures, quite a light read but often very funny! They are Regency romances....not sure if thats a genre you like! What sort of books do you like????

No DD although I've heard of her, there's just so much stuff worth the read, I'm having information overload !
Well - I started Mighty and Strong and it's very good, but I was finding it too upsetting when I was dealing with something upsetting at home, so I switched to something lighter, but fully intend to go back to this. I'm a bit delicate with thrillers - not just gore (which I don't like so skip read) but also the tension. It took me two attempts to read Six Seconds! Why not go for that one then while the story of the Righteous is fresh in your mind?
I have no intention of reading facebook killers as I know that I couldn't cope with it - but I've read lots of people on amazoo raving about it.
Diagnosis Death and Medical Era are both faith books. I've read them and enjoyed them, but not everyone will like that. They are not as gripping as Michael Wallace et al.

I vote for hunger games, its being made into a movie/tv series so you want to have read it before you go see it (if you go see it)
I'm having exactly the same dilemma as you at the moment, Lorraine. I think I'll just throw a dart at my TBR.Unless Darren's email arrives soon.
We'll have some new choices soon too!! The November reads I mean!!
:)

Ha! I love that I am on 20% through a book AND know what I'm going to read after I finish. This is a feeling I don't often have. It's nice!
Yea Jud lol... much better than being at 95% and not knowing...Ollie would have the same problem as me. He can't even choose between two menu options for his lunch, so try and guess what it's like for a dozen books !
Knowing him and how he behaves, he'd ask me for the whole list because he'd want to see if there's something better ! He does that in the toy shop... we go in for something and we'll always come out with something else...
I read The Name of The Wind on the way to the US and really liked it, so this morning I went looking for the next one. It seemed a lot more expensive so I went to put it on my wish list for the moment.... and discovered that it is not available in Europe, only in the US!!! Arrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Yes I am very peevish today. Also reading an actual paper book so my Kindle is also peevish...Intriguesis the book and I will be finished today (just trying to stay on topic for once...)
I know! Talk about backsliding. I learnt my lesson, had to hold the book with 2 hands most of the time and i could lay it down on a flat surface and have it stay open!
Random.org has decided next book was the Facebook Killer ! Didn't go for the hat trick, was worried I'd get a new bunny out of it and hubby wouldn't have been too happy !

No Shaun it was not too gory for me (just about!) I finished it last night - stayed up far too late to finish it in fact!!
I'm going to try and clear out some freebies now - but going to be ruthless and bin things I can't get into. Too many recommendations on her to waste precious time
Janet wrote: "No Shaun it was not too gory for me (just about!) I finished it last night - stayed up far too late to finish it in fact!!"Glad to hear it (the part about it not being too gory I mean, not the staying up late!).
Busy working my way through a stack of "real" books so Kitty is having a little rest.Just finished Daughters of Fortune and just started London: The Novel. Off to read for half an hour - mind reading a real book is strange.
Edited as can't spell/type!
over the last week I have read. 1The Blue Suitcase which I enjoyed immensly 2 The Water Warswhich was a good book and made me think, 3 NO GOOD DEEDliked this and have downloaded the next one.( not my usual read) While We're Far Apart was quite a predictable end but an uplifting story which i will recommend. I have just started Let the Right One In cant seem to get in to it. This is abook I thought would be good as it is the genre I used to read the most. The kindle has changed my tastes.

Facebook Killer, Shaun? I am surprised! I thought you'd enjoy it. Perhaps it just wasn't the right story for your mindset at the time. That happens to me frequently.
I tried reading it but nothing much seemed to be happening at the beginning, and if something doesn't grab me within the first few chapters I move onto something else.
I agree Patti, reading time is short enough & must be enjoyable at all cost.I used to feel a little guilty if I had paid for a book & didn't read it but I always passed them on to other folk & was quite happy when someone else enjoyed it. It's a good job we all like different things.
Not reading it very fast, I don't know what to say about it yet... have you read it Patti? Shaun, what have you been reading ? I think a recommendation from you might help fill the Prosper Snow void for a little while before Book three comes out :)

I think a recommendation from you might help fill the Prosper Snow voi..."The last book I read that I really liked was Hunger Games. It took a while to get into, but once it was under way I thought it was really good. The second one I wasn't so keen on, and I haven't read the third one yet, but I'll get around to it.
Patti (Pennywise) wrote: "I read it and really liked it, Lorraine."Ok Patti, might just stick with it for a bit longer :)

Obviously it's more important that I get through your books first, but trying to space them out until the next one comes out but it's hard... erm.. I wonder if I'm addicted....

Sadly probably not as I don't write that fast. Lol
I've started The Righteous but haven't got very far, due to a shopping trip with my SIL & a football match
Just finished Elizabeth Clansham by Catherine Chapman.Started Resuscitation by D.M. Annechine.50% through in one sitting.A good pacy thriller.
Well I've given up on THE FACEBOOK KILLER... 26% in and I'm finding it a bit "flat" for my liking. So I'm starting Tear In Time
Just finished The Righteous yesterday & needed something light - so I have startedMr. Darcy Forever and have Death in the Winter Garden next
just finished One Day and i already miss the characters. its been a long time since i fell in love with a book's characters, the way i did with Dex and Em. D. Nicholls did an amazing job with this book. Such good writing, such thrilling story, and a totally unexpected end, at least for me. No idea what to start next. Still reading O Alquimista, so i might wait until i finish that one as well
I just finished The Three Musketeers which I loved! I was surprised by how much i enjoyed Count of Monte Cristo as well, there is something about the way Dumas writes his stories that keeps me wanting more! and I have just started Broken City by our very own Dd :o)
I finished Vic's Big Walkthis morning and found it interesting. Now I'm reading Steve Roach's book Cycles, Tents and Two Young Gentswhich is making me laugh - a real bloke's trip.

I've just finished We Are Not Alone: The Writer's Guide to Social Media. Good read and very helpful. I've written a review on here and Amazon.I've now started Betrayal. I'm only a few pages in but it has gripped me from the start.
I've just finished Among Thieves and still enjoying the series. Have just started The Honour of the Knights and enjoying it so far.
