even though quite a few people here really like them I have never read one. I just dont think it would be my thing... I could be wrong but I have plenty of other books to be getting on with anyway!

[Patti (baconater)]

I read the first one and thought it was okay but I don't think I'll bother with any more.

Three in a row and I'd be ready to slap someone as well.

[Kath]

Both of us in that mood would be scarey indeed Patti!

I won't stand in between then.

Hi all

Just finished Trophy Hunt by CJ Box. It's another Joe Pickett novel and so far I have enjoyed them all. CJ seems to have a very relaxed writing style, which I like.

Now where to start on a new one, have 5 to choose from.

[Elle]

Just finished Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum, a freebie I got a while ago, and I really enjoyed it.

Next one? Em... I'm deciding between A Christmas Carol or Hans Christian Andersen

[Janis]

Just finished The Kultwhich I really enjoyed. Another recommendations from these pages.

Just starting A Boyfriend Before Christmas which was free the other day. Felt in the need of light relief and a seasonal story.

[andshe.reads]

[Jud]

I finished the alchemist but not sure what i'll read next... Maybe one of the group reads

[Jud]

I just started A Christmas Carol :o) love that its so short

[Kath]

I've sung longer Christmas Carols than that. Reaches for a throat lozenge!

[Jud]

yes me too, but then my parents church can make happy birthday last about half an hour...

[Elle]

I started A Christmas Carol today too! I decided I would go for some Christmas books to end the year and this classic was an obvious choice.

I'm enjoying it so far although a little off putting knowing that I find the film a little... dire. Although I don't like many films.

[Jane]

Just finished The Third Side the follow up to last months group read. I really enjoyed this. Just started The Horribles

[Kath]

Just finished Carl Ashmore's new Time Hunter's book. Excellent! I am still dipping in and out of The Definitive HP Lovercraft and of course, I'm re-re-re etc reading Words to the Wise Book 2. I need to read Trollope's The Warden for our village Book Group - might start that next,

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm just in the middle of the Time Hunters book ignite - pretty good isn't it!

[Kath]

He's getting even better GL.

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh, I finished the first Time Hunters a few days ago. I really enjoyed it. Must pop in a review soon.

I've started A Hunger in the Soul. Mike Resnick is an old favourite author of mine. I really enjoy his fantasy universe of planets that are based on African countries. This book is a retelling of Stanley's search for Livingston. It's a very entertaining way learning of colonial Africa and what it's effects were/are. Great allegory.

[Carl]

Many thanks, ladies, for your comments on The Time Hunters. You're very kind :)x

[Kath]

Just speaking as we find Carl - it was wonderful!

[Carl]

Bless you, Ignite. And seriously, thank you so much for your email.:) Right, best get back to researching Ernst Schafer and his expedition to Tibet ;)

[Jud]

I have just finished The Road and once tea break comes round I'm going to start A Goodreads Gallimaufrey and probably read the sample for The War of the Worlds as well

That's my boy - you get back to researching - we're now all here with our tongues hanging out for Book 3!

[Kath]

Just started The Warden by Anthony Trollope for our village book group.

[Ros (Shizania)]

Just finished The Villa Triste which I really enjoyed. Set in florence in the present time and during WW2. Now started The Whispers of Nemesiswhich is set in Greece. I'm really getting around.

[Jud]

I just finished A Goodreads Gallimaufrey and think I will start The War of the Worlds next. Just realised that I had the whole book on my kindle (not sure how or from where but with some of my friends its probably best not to ask...) hope I didnt already have The Road and then went and paid for it too

[Carl]

Ahh, your wish is my command, Ignite :)

[Jacquie]

Just finished The Twelveand started The War of the Worlds. Hope to read A Goodreads Gallimaufrey over Christmas.

[Jud]

SNAP Jacquie :o) we're reading the same book!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Lol... don't worry Jud, Louise-Lesley's name will probably be DDised soon enough... she'll probably turn it into LL or something that kind of short :)

[Elle]

Everyone pretty much calls me L anyway so Louise is an improvement on normal! lol


I actually previously went by LJ before I joined livejournal but now that is tooo confusing.

[Anita]

Just finished Stormwreck, it was fantastic!!! not sure what to start next.
Hope you are enjoying Owl Killers John, I really enjoyed that & Company of Liars & her latest The Gallows Curse.

[Lorraine]

[Jud]

Just to add to Lorraines post you dont have to actually buy a present its just picking a link for something on amazon and sharing that so please join in it'll be fun :o)

[Lorraine]

Thanks Jud :) The good thing about it, is that you can spend as little or as much "virtual" money as you want lol !!!

I've just finished reading Sibel Hodge's latest book The Baby Trap and I loved it. There's a lot more to this than chicklit - it tells of the trauma of trying to conceive a baby but in a way that can be hilariously funny whilst still portraying the anguish that the couple are going through. It's touching, funny and uplifting - and reading it has helped me cope through a difficult time, even though some parts of the story are sad. I've read and enjoyed Sibel's Amber Fox mysteries, but The Baby Trap (which is NOT amber fox, in case I've confused everyone) is my favourite read of hers. I can really recommend this.

I'm not sure what to read next although I still have a little of A Goodreads Gallimaufrey left. I've also downloaded two of this months group reads, so I might start one of those.

[[deleted user]]

Just re-reading my post - I think I've got the basis for my review there!

:0)

[Jud]

you should Karen I've enjoyed all this months reads but thought I would only like the one

[M.A.]

Karen I agree with you, I proof-read Sibel's book and found it had all the elements for a great read, a good dose of laughter and tears thrown in.

I've just finished another Indie's book My Planet or Yours? an imaginative read. ;-) Must do my review for it! (Not enough hours in the day)

I've just started reading Hetaera not usually what I'd choose but the writing is superb. Set in Greece in olden times. ;-)

Just clicked on the link for my planet or yours - looks fun!

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Karen. ;-)

[Maureen (Mews)]

Just finished Words to the Wise: Book Two. Loved it and am currently pondering over my review right now.

Not sure what to read next. I've been dipping in and out of A Goodreads Gallimaufrey. There are a few short stories I want to read High Spirits A TRUE paranormal short story and Dogs Of War, not to mention one of the group reads A Christmas Carol. I've had The Slap on my Kindle for months and keep meaning to read it, I found out recently it's been made into a tv programme and has been shown on BBC4. It's only available on the iplayer until December 22nd and I would quite like to read the book before I watch it.

Arghhh decisions, decisions.

[Jud]

YAY!!!!!

[Kath]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the second book of the Saga Maureen. Join us in the queue pushing at the gates of Sirrenvaag for Book 3!
