While I think on, How's the exhibition going?

Excellent!

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Good thanks Jim, sold seven paintings! :D Take down on Friday.

Actually I really like Old Rosie, a nice cloudy beverage...

Good on you with the paintings!

pour yourself a celebratory glass :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Cheers! (although it's a little early in the morning)

[Patti (baconater)]

Chock full of vitamin C, though.

[David]

Just finished Red Country , which was pretty good. Abercrombie's books, though similar(ish), are much better than Game of Thrones.

Just started Blood Sisters: Katie Maguire, which is yet another Katie Maguire book, and could well turn out to be as good as the others in the series.

[L.A.]

Just finished The Affair just started A Wanted Man - both Reacher books by Lee Child

[Will]

Just started

Top Banana
by our very own Kath.

Looking forward to it.

[Kath]

This is where I bite my nails!

It's a top read :-)

Excellent book!

[Kath]

Thanks both for the vote of confidence. :)

[David]

I missed all those lovely comments about me. Thank you! And thank you Cat for taking the time to read my book! That Old Rosie looked a bit pokey, Stu!

[Patti (baconater)]

Who was it said they really enjoyed Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore?

I've started it and so far it's stonking!

[David]

I think I recommended that one to you, Pattie. Regardless, I loved it :~)

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

David wrote: "... That Old Rosie looked a bit pokey, Stu!"

I beg your pardon??

I really enjoyed Mr Penumbra and his bookstore, it was David who recommended it to me.

[Patti (baconater)]

Well, thank you David, it's terrific!

[Alison]

Just finished Wendy Darling: Stars

I'm going through a fairytale phase at the moment and am loving all of the retellings that are around. As you can probably guess it's based on Peter Pan. Found it quite dark and creepy. Peter is like the pied piper or some kind of cult leader and Neverland is pretty dangerous.

Good story, occasionally too much description and excessive use of similies but really want to read the next one as it ended on a cliff hanger.

[Joo]

I just started Gorky Park It's a long book and so far, quite descriptive (colour of walls, what's on the table etc).

Seems OK and reviews are glowing.

Gorky Park isa very immersive book as are all Martin Cruz Smith's books. I love them and Renko is a great character.

[Kath]

Just finished Frozen in Crime by cecilia Peartree - another great mystery story -

Just started Looking for Alaska by John Green, the authors of The Fault in our Stars which I thought was a belter.

[Natasha]

Just finished The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, which was pretty odd.

Just started Wilt by Tom Sharpe, which is pretty amusing.

[Lexie]

Just finished Aoife's Chariot by Katherine Pathak, which was a bit underwhelming. I'm giving Ann Cleeves' Vera series a go - I didn't much enjoy it when I saw one on television but tried again and quite liked it, and I'm now enjoying the book. It is very different from her Shetland series in feel, and the lead character is well-imagined and unusual without seeming a freak.

I love Bradbury. I'm sure I've read everything he wrote at least once.

[Natasha]

I've read The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 and am left with the impression that the guy is a nutter.

[Patti (baconater)]

A clever nutter, though.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

If you stopped all mad authors from being published, there would be severe depletion in the bookshops.

[Jim]

Then they'd have to sell my books !


Oh, hang on a moment...............

[Patti (baconater)]

Started Blindness this morning.

Off to a really good start. Disturbing.

[David]

Natasha (Diarist) wrote: "Just finished The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, which was pretty odd.

Those are two books which I really like. I've read both several times.

[David]

Just finished Blood Sisters which was another excellent book in the Katie Maguire series.

Just started The World of Jeeves, about which nothing need be said.

[Patti (baconater)]

And really, really long sentences, brimming with commas that, however, really work and aren't annoying, at all.

Great book cover.

[Kath]

Just finished Looking for Alaska by John (The Fault in our Stars) Green. Loved it.

Now reading a short - The Orchard by Paul Levinson - sci-fi.

[Anita]

I just finishedWhat Remains and just started Mightier Than the Sword I always enjoy Tim weavers work and the Jeffery Archer is a nice easy read.

[L.A.]

Just finished and just started . This is the last of my existing Reacher books, only 2 more to buy I think!

[Kath]

Just finished The Orchard by Paul Levinson to which I gave a four star. Great story - a bit expensive for what it was. (Bought Book 2 though!)

Also Night Running by Nick Wastnage. Five stars for this.

Got a 3* to come but I haven't written the review yet.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Gave up on Wrath today, going to read an Agatha Christie book for my travels tomorrow

[Kath]

Just finished Chronicles of Time: Book 1 by J C Allen. Slow starter and didn't get down to the real Time Machine stuff till around half way. After that, corking, but I was impatient.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

If you like time travel books you would probably like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1862300194...

It was a very clever follow on story to H G Wells The Time Machine. Hopefully It'll be out on ebook soon.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm starting to struggle a bit with Blindness.

Darren would suffer with comma envy if he read it.

[B J]

Just finished Trains and Lovers. Very different from anything by Alexander McCall Smith that I'd read before.
Just started The Blue Afternoon.

[Patti (baconater)]

I finished Blindness. Saw the ending a mile away. Meh.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Finished Peril at End House by Agatha Christie, now reading DEAD ish

[Patti (baconater)]

Think I might try Mexico next.

Huge tome it is.

[Kath]

If you like a spooky story you need to read The Red Church by Scott Nicholson. I'm forty-something percent in - wicked!

[Michael]

I've just finished reading Amy Cross's novel American Coven and it's a decent horror read:
