[Natasha]

Just finished Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, which was excellent.

Just started Maxims for Revolutionists by George Bernard Shaw.

Still reading As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee.

[L.A.]

Read The Wonder by Emma Donaghue. She writes about the phenomenon of a young girl who appears to survive without food. The story is told through the viewpoint of a nurse who is employed to watch the child as a witness to 'the miracle'. It is a fascinating novel with characters who unfold in unexpected ways.

[David]

Just finished The Evolution of Everything: How New Ideas Emerge which I thought was excellent, but then I like emergent phenomena.

Just started But What If We're Wrong? Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past.

[Pat ()]

Finish Terri Reid's latest Mary O book Delayed Departures. Enjoyed it as always.
Stopped reading Graham Masterson's Living Death, too graphic for me. I really must remember not to buy any more of his.
Started Dying Light by Stuart Macbride much better!
Also reading Jim's A Bad Penny and Kath's Stir-up Sunday

[Jim]

what better choice? Today is Stir-up Sunday ;-)

[Kath]

So it is! Tradition still counts for something... somewhere!

[Jim]

absolutely

[✿Claire✿]

I've just finished The Gender Game by Bella Forrest (which was a good read but I'm not sure why it's been compared to The Hunger Games!) and Black Tuesday which is a Time Patrol book by an author I've been wanting to read again, Bob Mayer. Might give Stir-up Sunday a read this afternoon.

She wrote Room, didn't she? Loved that book.
I'll have to get a copy of The Wonder. Thanks LA!

[Patti (baconater)]

Pat, the second Odd Thomas is Forever Odd.

I've still not finished the first one. Perhaps tomorrow, if I'm not called into work.

[Pat ()]

Thanks Patti, just got it

[David]

Just finished Untouchable which was pretty good indeed.

Just started Dead Man's Footsteps.

[Pam]

Finished number 6 in the Flavia de Luce crime series, The Dead in their Vaulted Arches.

[Patti (baconater)]

Yay! I finally finished the first one. I'll start Forever Odd when I'm done proofing some short stories Darren sent me.

The 'Mystery in White' sounds perfect for a Christmas read, thanks. I've just started [book:Harry's Game, another book mentioned on Andrew Marr's programme on spy fiction recently. I saw the film some while ago and that was good. (Why has my comment come out in italics? There's an end of italics instruction before it!)

[Lexie]

Just finished An Air of Treason, excellent, though best to go from the beginning of the series to see the characters develop and get the in-jokes, Still Life, which I enjoyed very much - well drawn characters with interesting faults - and Cold Earth, again, just as good as previous ones.

Enjoyed Mystery in White last year - very good winter read!

[Pam]

Finished and reviewed Mr Mercedes by Stephen King. It's been pointed out to me on another GR forum that I should make it clear my links are all to my reviews so hoping it's clear now.

[Natasha]

Just started A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.

[Pat ()]

Just finished Forever Odd Enjoyed it and will get the next one Brother Odd

Think I'm at about 10%!

Nice reading the same series as you. I need to read faster!

I enjoyed that one.

[Kath]

I've been a little bogged down in NaNoWriMo and several beta reads this month, but I've just finished The Lookout by Beverley Carter. Jolly good characters!

I've posted my review for Charles Stross' Saturn's Children, and it's a damn fine sci-fi read:

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

[Kim]

Recently finished To Kill A Mockingbird and just started The Burglar's Baby by Katharine Ann Angel

The Burglars Baby

[Kath]

Just finished a short story which is a real inducement to read the series. OLD SCHOOL: A DI Frank Miller short story.

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

[Pam]

Just read and reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1820752270 the second Bill Hodges story by Stephen King - Finders Keepers

[David]

Just finished Dead Man's Footsteps , which was very good.

Just started Goodnight Lady.

Just finished rereading Last Bus to Woodstock which was all right for a 1st in series book.

Just started rereading some Jeeves in The Jeeves Omnibus Vol. 1.

Top hole.

[Elizabeth]

Just finished My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry - it had a sort of horrible fascination, but no admirable main protagonists,

Just started the Vizard Mask by Diana Norman - looked like an interesting read for a £1 in a second-hand bookshop.

[Kath]

Just catching up on some reviews since the seasonal madness of NaNoWriMo and Wreath-making have thrown me off schedule somewhat.

Jim Webster's A Bad Penny which is another great story from Port Naain.

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

And a Christmas offering from Jonathan Hill which is funny, excruciating and touching in equal parts! A Christmas Outing

Is he the Rick Astley of authors?

[Kath]

How well do you know me? I have no idea who Rick Astley is. And that wasn't a question because I cherish my ignorance on this.

I had to google him as well :-)

[Karen]

finished Nightblind which was book 2 in the Dark Iceland series. It was an ok read, tho I didn't really care too much about the characters. Think I'll have to dip into one of my Christmas treats next. We were sooo lucky to have Lindsey Davis come and talk at the first Shrewsbury Literary Festival last week, she was lovely. And a Birmingham lass, I hadn't realised! So it's The Graveyard of the Hesperides for me. Warm and witty, just what I need for a chilly December.

Book links yes, the rest, no. I just don't have the time.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Finished two books today, Edge by Jeffrey Deaver and The Sex Club, both good reads but there were errors in the Jeffrey Deaver book despite being a traditional author.

[Tania]

Just finished Rune Gate (Rune Gate Cycle #1). Will start on Ghostfiles 2 in the morning. Need some sleep first

[Michael]

I've just posted my review for World War Cthulhu: A Collection of Lovecraftian War Stories by Brian M Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass - there are a few gems in there that made it worth a read:

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

[David]

Just finished But What If We're Wrong? Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past , which was ok as far as it went, but a bit shallower than I'd hoped.

Just started Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.

[Stuart]

Natasha (Diarist) wrote: "Just started A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving."

Nooooo! That's now running in my head in a loop . . .

[Kelly]

Can't remember what I've just finished as it was weeks ago as was too busy with launch. Think it was Apprentice in Death Am now reading A Death at Fountains Abbey

[Lexie]

Just finished Cecilia Peartree's Five Short Stories - lovely - and Jonathan Hill's Not Just a Boy, which was a disturbingly accurate portrayal of the agonies of young teenager-hood - brought back lots of memories!

[L.A.]

Just finished Aftermath and really enjoyed it. of all the Robinson books I've re-read so far (I'm doing them in order from the start) I have found this to be the best. A real page turner. Just started The Summer That Never Was

[Kath]

I should have added Jim Webster's Tallis Steelyard stories here yesterday - but I was still tired!

Tallis Steelyard, shower me with gold and other stories.
