[M.A.]

I've just finished a romance for a change The Merry-Go-Round and now I'm reading Hetaera--Suspense in Ancient Athens by Suzanne Tyrpak, interesting read so far, not what I'd usually chose, but that's the beauty of cheap books on the Kindle, I suppose. ;-)

[Kath]

Just finished Richard Wilde as recommended by Karen (Kew) and it's a brilliant book. Family secrets, dying old man, lovely countryside (Shropshire, India) very well told. I stayed up late last night, that's why I'm feeling completely raddled now!

Just about to start another book when a pre-publication one came in for proofing so I shall do that first. Then it might be Harry's Green Linnet.

I'm glad to here that you enjoyed it Ignite! This book should be published! It's books like this and Steve's In the Blood that have made me loose all respect for publishers (because they have turned down such gems yet published some absolute drivel!)

[Mark]

Just finished re reading to kill a mockingbird, and just started 'the keep'.

[Philip (sarah)]

Finished the Kings Speech and really enjoyed it.
started Now Then Lad by Mike Pannet.The story of a rural beat policeman in the Yorkshire Dales.

thank you for the recs! look really good and just bought the first one! :)

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Yes Shaun & Lorraine, I did like The Kult - it was gory in parts but not what I class as horror. Horror is what people feel facing my cooking.
I have just finished Punchline- which I also enjoyed. That makes the last book for the challenge - so since I have the rest of today plus three more days I am wondering whether to increase the target.

Pleased to hear you enjoyed it, Janet. But you've obviously never tasted my cooking ;)

[Kath]

Glad you enjoyed Punchline Janet - Paul has another book due out soon.

[Mo]

just finished Company of Liars, a good read and just starting Tom Fleck

[Kath]

Tom Fleck is great Mo.

I'm just about to start Green Linnet, also by Harry Nicholson. I love his style of writing.

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

I've had to put Chris' What in Hell is up with Heaven? down for a while. Typically of Chris, it's a well written book, but I just cannot get to grips with the subject. Those who know me can guess why.

So I'm reading The Grapes of Wrath at the moment along with a technical book that I won't bother to link. Quite a short one, only 800 pages. I swear these guys get paid by the word.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

& I should have mentioned that I also have finally finished The Moonstone.

Now I'm tired and ready for a nap - too early to retire for the night, otherwise I'll be awake at silly o'clock. I do have to get up at half past six though to fit in the dog walking before work.

Don't forget to check out Karen Maitlands other two books Mo, The Gallows Curse & The Owl Killers, (sorry can't do the link ) they are both as good as The Company of Liars.
I am still tyring to start Tom Fleck, I tried to start it earlier in the week, tonight I am going to sit in the garage with a torch so no one will be able to see we are in & maybe then I can get on with it.

[Kath]

Just finished Green Linnet by our Harry Nicholson Green Linnet which contains some tasters for Tom Fleck and other stories and poems. A good little book.
Just started Tear In Time by Chris Petersen, another of our authors. I found the first few percent hard to get into (don't know anything about the American Civil War - haven't even seen Gone With the Wind!) but I'm really into it now.

[[deleted user]]

I've just finished reading two fluffy books - Kissing Kelli and Gayle's Tales, Light Romantic Stories to Make You Smile, both of which I enjoyed. I need to read something meatier now though! I do tend to hop around with my reading from heavy to extremely light! Not sure what I'll read next though, I've created a seperate collection called "read soon" that I put good stuff into so that they don't get lost in the freebies! I'll sort through there and choose something.

Have read and enjoyed The Owl Killers but didn't realise it was by the same author as Company of Liars. This is not a bad thing. I have an interest in the 13th and 14th Century history particularly the plague time. I know I should pay more attention to the authors but I will look out for her in the future.

[Jacquie]

Just finished The Dreaming Suburb which I really enjoyed and have started Wicked Rake, Defiant Mistress.

[Philip (sarah)]

Finished Now Then Lad...: Tales of a country bobby
started Cover Her Face

Edit... Wey Hey,managed my first link!

Well done Sarah. Bit of a faff isn't it?

[Philip (sarah)]

Yes it was but so glad I managed,early resolution,stop avoiding all things technical and just give it a try!Lol.

Thanks so much for the lovely review! Soooo glad you enjoyed it!

I've just finished London Broil - a really fun mystery caper. And Bead Of Doubt (A Divorced Diva Mini-Mystery) a fun chick lit shortie

Happy New Year, everyone! :)

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I finished Tea to Go last night - still have to decide what to read next.

[Pat ()]

Ah! thanks Janet, I read this series but missed this ones release

[Shel]

I finished My Life: A Coach Trip Adventure last night and really enjoyed reading about Brendan Sheerin's life. I've started Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet on the kindle and When God Was a Rabbit in hard copy today.

You're welcome!

I'm reading two books together at the mo -
It's A Dog's Life Mel Comley and Hot Flash which is by the same author as Kissing Kelli but is totally different, very funny chick lit.

[Janet]

Just finished a load of christmassy books, romances mainly, nothing worth mentioning!! Just started The Book Thief, loads of good reviews for this - took a while to get into the writing style but starting to enjoy it now!

[Kath]

I really loved The Book Thief Janet. I've just finished Chris Petersen's book Tear In Time and resumed Trollope's The Warden. This is for our village Book Group and I have to say I'm not enjoying it. Thank goodness it's short!

[Elle]

I always have a lot of respect for people who can read stuff they don't enjoy. I always give up as I think there are plenty of great books to read and not enough time to read them in, so why waste time reading a bad book?

[Kath]

Only so I can tell people why I didn't like it Lousie-Lesley. I shall barge my way through it to get to something better (for me - it's a classic, it can't be all bad.)
You are right - so many books, so little time.

[Nell]

Just finished Tom Fleck - loved the sense of walking with Tom and his collie, Meg, through the landscape of 16th century England.

[Jacquie]

Just finished Wicked Rake, Defiant Mistress and started The Stone which was free a few days ago.

I enjoyed the next book in the series much more, Barchester Towers

:0)

[Elle]

I finished A Dark Kiss of Rapture and I downloaded A Goodreads Gallimaufrey to the Kindle so I can start dipping into it.

I think my next major book will be...American Gods

[Kath]

Hope you enjoy the Gallimaufrey Louise-Lesley. I found American Gods absolutely amazing though it's some years now since I read it. Some books stick in the mind and this is one of them.

[Shaun]

Enjoyed that one. A strange but compelling book.

[Elle]

A friend is a huge Neil Gaiman fan and made me promise that when I got my Christmas vouchers I'd buy that and Good Omens!

I'm quite excited to read both!!

[Nell]

Just finished Tarot Cards & Hair Dye by Andy Tilley - review posted.

[Lorraine]

Just finished Shattered, which I really enjoyed, still reading DD's Broken City, and I don't know what to read after that, although really even though Ollie thinks it's too grown up for him I might just finish Sophie's book without him :)

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I haven't decided what to start reading next - I've set myself a challenge on the 2012 Goodreads Challenge. I will do the same as last year and not count any books that I have read before.

[M.A.]

Just finished Hetaera--Suspense in Ancient Athens very well written and a great mystery, bit risqué in places though. Going to start The Devil's Hour next, I think!

[Patti (baconater)]

Ooo risqué! Think I'll have a look at that one! Thanks Mel!

[Lorraine]

what does that mean, risqué !!??

[M.A.]

It's about ancient Athens, Lorraine, I'll leave the rest to your imagination! ;-)

[Lorraine]

Never tried Greek food... do they do sausage?

[M.A.]

LOL!!! There's plenty of food in it! ;-)

[Lorraine]

Lol !

[Kath]

Just finished Sophie Robbins' book A Hole in the World. It is so much NOT my style of book but I couldn't put it down - remarkable! Off to review shortly.
I've just started Radio Multiverse - First Contact by Ravi Veloo. Found it on Amazon's new Meet Our Authors forum and it's fascinating. 15% in and hooked.

[Elle]

one rubbish thing about Kindle (or you could say good in my case really..) is that I had no idea how freaking long this book was before I started. I only got to 11% the other night and I read for what felt like AGES.

[Kath]

But if it falls on your head when you nod off you don't brain yourself. I did that at University with Arthur Holmes' Principles of Physical Geology - about the size, weight and density of a brick. I might still have the scar!
