Never enough time is there? And the more of that rare comodity I spend on here the less there is for reading!

Yes it is a terrific read.

[Kath]

Just finished Ancient Revenge by JF Lourens. Can't say it did much for me and the poor language and use of the wrong word in many cases piddled me off big time.
Just starting Garden of Dreams by J Strand which I picked up from the Amazon MOA forum. Short story really but we'll see how it goes.

[Philip (sarah)]

Put asideAgainst All Oddspersevered till 50% but too repetitive and depressing!
Started United Kingdom of Islam as I feel in the need of some escapism and gore!

[Kath]

Finished Garden of Dreams - strange but not bad (and very short!) Started Service of the Heir by Lexie Conyngham. Lovely prose style - very nice indeed.

[[deleted user]]

I've just finished two books - Return Of The Runaway Bride which I enjoyed and a short story by Margaret Lake Regan O'Reilly, Private Investigator which I also enjoyed. Now I'm nearly half way through Sibel's new Amber Fox story, Voodoo Deadly (not on goodreads yet) and I think it is the best of the series so far.

:0)

[Keith]

just started the eagle as landed

[Pat ()]

Finished Death In The Physic Garden
I enjoyed this mix of murder and gardening a lot. I will read the next one soon.
Have started Season of Storms now. Not certain of it yet not enough read.

[Nell]

Just started Aryan Sun Myths The Origin Of Religions by Sarah Elizabeth Titcomb. Material garnered from many books - a very easy read.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished Solitary Pleasures a lovely story, really enjoyed it, dont know what to read next yet!

[Elle]

Finished The Darkest Night

Next book, em... Cruel and Unusual I think!

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I've started Corpse Way - I've had it a while, but picked up another in the series on the freebies (either yesterday or Friday)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Just finished My Dad Was Nearly James Bond. Des Bishop

Just started Tollesbury Time Forever

[Stuart]

A reasonable choice! ; )

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I get the impression its quite good... ;)

[Stuart]

well I have a fondness for it!

[Kath]

Don't be modest Stu, it's blimmin brilliant!

[[deleted user]]

I've finished reading Voodoo Deadlyand thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little worried about the voodoo aspect as I don't like reading paranormal books, but it wasn't a paranormal story at all! It is mystery, chick lit, funny and well written. I have enjoyed the other books in the series but this one is my favourite so far.

Then I read some trash - Romance of Broken Hearts (not on goodreads and not worth adding), the story was ok, run of the mill romance but the formatting was one of the worst that I have come across - no paragraphs and random numbers inserted in the text, typos, missing words and strange symbols.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Finished Corpse Way and decided to start the next one Death Cart

{all the pretty book covers have disappeared ~~sigh~~ }

[Karen]

They sound interesting, Janet. Lovely part of the country too. Looks like my TBR pile for 2012 is about to expand.

[Lyra]

Just finished Climbing the Stairs which was I thought a disappointing sequel to Below Stairs: The Classic Kitchen Maid's Memoir That Inspired "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey"

( I see a marketing ploy in that write up! I wonder if it did)

half way through I Left My Tent In San Francisco which I am really enjoying although I let the cover put me off for ages ! its really good.

Inspired - got the sample for Tollesbury Time Forever :D

[Pat ()]

Just finished Season of Storms
For me it started slowly. Then gathered pace and finished with a couple of twists I hadn't seen coming. Enjoyable read.

Now reading Only the Innocent
Very good start so far.

[Jamie]

Morning folks,

I've just started (in the last week or so) the new Peter James novel, Dead man's Grip. It's one of his Roy Grace series. It's the first Peter James I've read and I must say, 250 page in, I'm enjoying it. Roy Grace is a well-rounded, easy access character, the story has plenty of threads and it's well-paced. Recommended.

[[deleted user]]

I've just finished To Infinity which was very good. Witty with very definate shades of Douglas Adams!

Now I've just started Ripple, only read a couple of pages but I'm getting hooked!

:0)

[Vic]

Karen, you will love Ripple.

[Mo]

Just finished Fate and Fortune, enjoyable, now on Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis interesting.

[P.A.]

Just finished 11/22/63, and wanted to cleanse my brain with some Amy Hempel ... then remembered my Amy Hempel books are in storage, and of course they've not been Kindlificated. Grr. I'll have to see what's next on the list.

[Kate]

Just finished Wee Rocketsa superbly written book which tackles sensitive and emotive issues in a poverty stricken area (such as gangs,drugs,single parents,benefit fraud)and deals with them in a really down-to-earth, non judgemental or glamorised way. Starting to read Bang: Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin for a more light hearted bit of entertainment

[Karina]

Finaly finished I'm not going to spend my money on the last novel Shaddowfever. I enjoyed reading the series, but they are nothing I want to rave about.

[Paul]

Finished The Book Thief last night which I'm pleased about because it's off my list of books I'd half-read and wanted to go back to. I thought it was well-written but I found it hard to get through.

In that vein I'm now reading Soon I Will Be Invincible which is much lighter.

[Mark]

Just finished Cellar Doorwhich was different to my usual fare but I really enjoyed it. Just started dracula because I'm ashamed to say I've never read it. For a horror writer that's pretty bad.

[Karina]

You can't go wrong with that book Dracula, Mark. It's a classic.

[Mark]

Enjoying it so far.

[Philip (sarah)]

Still reading The United Kingdom of Islam,it is easily the most gory book I have ever read,had to stop at 30% and have a break. Read Lipstick and Knickers by Rosen and enjoyed the humour and escapism.

Gory? It has just been described on Mobilereads as "a fun blend of realism and far out sci-fi/fantasy" :)

[Jud]

I loved Dracula, I finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone audio book and have started Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets got nothing better to do in work :o)
Still reading Tollesbury Time Forever reckon I'll finish that today.

[Patti (baconater)]

If it's got Sarah's gory stamp of approval, I MUST read it soon!!!

[Kath]

Just finished Service of the Heir by Lexie Conyngham. Her writing is always delightful and her humour sharp and clever - too many characters though!
I haven't decided what to read yet - I have a couple in the pipeline but I want to see what the February books are first.

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, I've not heard from Simon yet today. Hopefully he'll post them during his lunchtime.

I'll email him a reminder...

[Jud]

I know! I'm quite excited

[Pat ()]

Just finished Only the Innocent
What a superb read from the first page right through to the last. I recomend this one with-out reserve.

[[deleted user]]

I've just finished Ripple which was quite an incredible book. I highly recommend it!

As that would be a hard act to follow I've just started Tollesbury Time Forever.

:0)

[Patti (baconater)]

Finally finished 11.22.63 by Stephen King.

Thank God.

I need something short, fluffy and totally engrossing to clear my palate now.

Any suggestions?

[Jud]

I've just finished Tollesbury Time Forever and am starting Room as our first monthly read :o)

[[deleted user]]

Try Ripple Patti, it's not fluffy but it's a very different book to the one you've just read and will certainly clear your pallet! It's very easy to read and enjoyable - as well as being a stunning piece of writing.

:0)

[Kath]

Just about to start Bet you can't... Find Me for the Feb reads.

[Karina]

Finished and and Vampire Shift by Tim O'Rouke.

Gave up on and

[Patti (baconater)]

Thanks Karen. I'll give Ripple a go. Then Katie's Orlando's Gift, I think. (sorry couldn't find a link)

Have I mentioned how much I love Katie's covers? Not many book covers I'd consider framing for my walls. Her's, I would. Definitely.

Then I'll be ready for a novel again, I think.

I have one in mind.

ML IMHO it goes some way beyond Gory as defined ie involving bloodshed. The description of the pregnant girl with the reapers and the detail of what happens at the London Eye gave me nightmares and here speaks the lady who laughed at the Exorcist.
Don't judge my comment negatively,I am enjoying the book for exactly those reasons. I am now at 60% and it continues to shock me so all credit to you.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I finished The Big Bad Wolf by James Patterson at lunch and started London Bridges.
