Some but not all.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Patti - just noticed your name change. Huh?

[Patti (baconater)]

My favourite reindeer.
Olive, the other reindeer. Used to laugh and call him names...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Grooooooooooooooan!!

[Tui]

Hello folks. I'm a newbie.

[Pat ()]

Hi Tui and welcome

[Tui]

Sorry, I'm finding this very confusing after the Amazon ones

[Patti (baconater)]

You seem to be doing just fine, Tui. If you need help, just shout. We love to be helpful. :)

[Kath]

Hi Tui. Just yell if you're lost - and someone will rush in and confuse you further! It's what we do!

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

You're doing well Tui, you found this part of the Group. Anything is exactly what it means. Basically it's everything that Simon and Patti couldn't make sense of, so don't be surprised if you don't understand this part of the forum, I don't think it's meant to be understood, just enjoyed.

[Elle]

I totally don't get the Olive joke o.O

[Kath]

Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names - just say or sing it.

[Elle]

AHHHHH!

Omg that took about 10 times repeating it to finally click. DOH!

[Kath]

Ne'mind eh. You got it in the end! Happy Christmas!

[Anita]

Thanks Ignite, took me a while too Louise, you are not the only one feeling daft. (nothing new for me though)

Thats good Istoria, even I got that one, very true though.

Just finished An Irish Christmas Janet and I did enjoy it.The story of a mother and son's flawed relationship told from the point of view of each.There is an underlying family secret.It is set in the early 60's.
Not very atmospheric or Christmassy but a nice light piece of escapism. I've paid for worse HeHe.
Edit...Forgot.Starting The Night They Nicked St Nick tonight.

[Tui]

Just started reading "The Spanish Helmet" by Greg Scowen. It's pretty interesting. So far it's about people tracking down leads to alternative histories of New Zealand, my home country.

[Carl]

Hi Tui. And welcome to the site :) xx

And I hope you enjoy The Night They Nicked Saint Nick, Phil.

I've just started A Kiss Before Dying

Merry Xmas to one and all.

After several false starts because I couldn't get into anything, I am reading Sibel's books after all Romantic Comedy Box Set which I'm really enjoying.

:0)

[Elle]

I just finished The Kult and I'm not starting anything until I get my Kindle sorted.

[Lorraine]

Just finished Slow Boat to Purgatory which is the first part in a series but oh my what a first part, now I'm going to read DD's Broken City in view of her live chat on the 13th of January (announcement will follow shortly but it's not too early make yourself unavailable for this particular evening !)

[Elle]

got the Kindle to co-operate and just started CASE CLOSED: Serial Killers Captured - Ted Bundy, The BTK Killer, Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Gacy and More.

I got a few of R J Parkers books for free and I cannot wait to read them.

[Philip (sarah)]

Finished The Night they nicked St Nick,a very imaginative story, really enjoyed it.Started The Kings Speech.

[Kath]

I've just finished Harry Nicholson's Tom Fleck, a truly beautiful book.
Just started (literally, about 3 pages last night) Carl Ashmore's Bernard and the Bibble. I've enjoyed all Carl's books so far so I know this will be lovely too.

[Anita]

Just finished The Coldest Fear by Rick Reed & Starting Tom Fleck this afternoon. I really enjoyed the Kings Speech Sarah, hope you do too. I am looking forward even more to starting Tom Fleck after seeing your comment Ignite, you always give good recomendations to me, thank you.

[Janis]

Just finished An Irish Christmaswhich I really enjoyed, perfect Christmas book and just started Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley. A light-hearted easy read for Boxing Day.

[Elle]

gave up reading that R J Parker book. Rubbish. Bit raging. AVOID it. I like my crime books not speckled with personal commentary about how stupid people are for not catching them sooner or how sick the perps are. I know they are disgusting human beings, that is why I read about them.

Started another one by Trinidad Giachino. Someone needs to take that thesaurus off them. Eurgh. Gave up on that quickly too.

Next book? 3 Minute Murder Mystery

[Patti (baconater)]

Thanks for those avoids, Louise. They are just as useful as recommendations, in my opinion. Especially when it comes to some freebies.

[Elle]

I've begun the daunting task of wading through freebies and I am taking no prisoners. I feel a bit guilty giving bad reviews for indie books especially but eurgh, some are awful!!

[Pat ()]

Still on my space wars series with finished and started Courageous
Valiant Still enjoying them but will need a change of mood soon. Am I the only one to read
this type of book?

[Elle]

Hi Pat - I'm a fantasy and sci-fi fan myself but haven't read much of it lately. You are definitely not alone

[Pat ()]

Louise-Lesley Thats good to hear, I was beginning to wonder if I was out of step again with everyone.
Well I have finished Valiant tonight. Still a good read but this one had a scattering of spaces in words (format ?) not enough to spoil the thread but enough for me to notice. Now starting Relentless
I have Victorious left in this series to read after Relentless. Time for a spot of leave then.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Just finished The Kult - and I need to read one more book to reach my target for the Goodreads 2011 challenge. I can't decide which one, but I'll not start reading tonight - I know it is early but I'm tired & I have to be up early again tomorrow as I'm on dog walking duty.

[Shaun]

Jay-me (Janet) wrote: "Just finished The Kult "

Hope you enjoyed it, but I value all opinions, whether good or bad :)

[Lorraine]

What did you think of The Kult Janet? Your profile says you're not too keen on horror...

[Shaun]

Lorraine - full of Xmas Love ♥ wrote: "What did you think of The Kult Janet? Your profile says you're not too keen on horror..."

You see, I don't class it as horror really. More psychological thriller.

[Lorraine]

No it is not pure horror IMO either, but it does have some "horrifying" bits don't you think? wouldn't like to find myself in front of one of those bodies I tell you !

[Patti (baconater)]

Or under them....

[Lorraine]

Depends on which character you are thinking about Patti....

[Patti (baconater)]

Wolfe!

[Lorraine]

Lol !

My eyes were totally covered with a pillow near the end. I'm a complete wimp.


Word to wise: DO NOT READ ANYTHING I'M READING AT THE MINUTE. Eurgh. What is with these freebies I'm choosing?

I'm just going to quote you something from 3 Minute Murder Mystery said by a SWISS walking tourist and then well, you might understand why I wasn't exactly impressed by this MODERN-SET book.

"How terribly bad mannered, we haven't introduced ourselves, I am Frederick Volspur and this is my girlfriends Gertrude Heinze."

Then there is other jewels like;

'I am pleased to make your acquaintance'


Who in the sweet hell speaks like that?!

Next freebie attempt? Em... no idea. 22 Inches of Rain is technically next in line but I am thinking maybe go for a book next in a series I like.


Pat - I'm very much the same as you. I love paranormal romance/fantasy novels which seems to be a rarity in non-specialised groups like this.

[Elle]

After 30minutes of trawling I've settled on A Dark Kiss of Rapture

[Pat ()]

Louise-Lesley if you like paranormal romance/fantasy you should like Terri Reid's books The Ghosts Of New Orleans - A Paranormal Research and Containment Division (PRCD) Case File
Darkness Exposed
Final Call
Never Forgotten
Good Tidings
Loose Ends
I have really enjoyed them. Hope you do too if you try them.
