Karina Kantas How was JP'S book Desley?


message 1702: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I finished Cruel and Unusual and started Room


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12594 comments I quite enjoyed it, but dont think that it was my favourite of the series. Only 55 pages into London Bridges, but can't wait to find out who the Wolf actually is.

I also keep forgetting that I am reading paperbacks with the foster cats, am reading Mr Darcy Vampyre this week, started it on Mon and will probably finish it tonight - it has finally got interesting. Will post more once I have finished it.

Nell Grey (nellgrey) | 212 comments Just started Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. I've wanted to read it for ages, and just came across it here in GR's free downloads. A few pages in and loving it so far.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12594 comments Have just finished Mr Darcy, Vampyre. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it as i don't like Pride and Prejudice and did find it a bit dull. I think there was too much time spent hinting at things and not enough of the action.

Only just seen your post Patti - glad you found it without me though.

The translation could be better, there are quite a few errors too, but in spite of everything I loved it so much that I started and finished it last night. Beautiful...

So... Just finished Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I have to admit when it comes to a free book I don't mind a few errors.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Yesterday I finished Bet you can't... Find Me, one of our February books. Then I started Only the Innocent by Rachel Abbott, which is turning out well as far as I've got.


message 1719: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I finished Room and have now started A Rogue's Life should be a quickish read. I do love Wilkie Collins


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12594 comments I'm really struggling with London Bridges so read Cursed by Stephen Leather earlier for a break, was ok but not great


message 1721: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine  | 575 comments I used to love James Patterson books, but he churns out so many now the quality isn't there.


message 1723: by Karen (new)

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments I quite liked the Last Train from Liguria, Fiona - it was in the summer sale when I bought it, and I saw it was a Daily Deal title the other day - at least her publishers have confidence in it, tho it makes you wonder if maybe it didn't do as well as they'd hoped.

What did you think of it, will it be worth me reading it?

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments My to-read pile atm is full of really intellectual stuff or else rather gritty stuff.

message 1729: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Most of mine are either ones by our author, classics I keep meaning to read or PNR/UF

A few 'popular' fiction too like 'The Help'

I dont think it is the quality that is the issue, it is the subject matter - I dont like reading about terrorists. I am odd in that I like reading about serial killers, but terrorists, or action films where they just seem to be shooting loads of people dont interest me at all.


message 1734: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I'm the same Desley, love serial killers, hate any type of other action-y things.


message 1735: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Me too. I like murder and crime, not political stuff.

message 1739: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I loved last train from Liguria. I've just finished Only the Innocent by one of our authors - Rachel Abbott. Definitely a must read, this! Just off to review it.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12594 comments Glad to hear that! I have finished it now but can't decide whether to read Mary Mary or something by an indie for a break.


message 1741: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I've got to finish The Warden by Trollope (by Wednesday). It's short but oh, it's dull.

Tell me about it! I did it for 'O' Level back in the dark ages. All I can remember is that it is DULL. Pity 'cos it put me off Trollope for life.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12594 comments Decided to start Graveyard Games by Sheri Leigh, trying to read the ones i have had the longest

Ian Ayris | 473 comments Just finished the latest novella from Eric Beetner - Dig Two Graves - absolutely fantastic. About to start on a sneaky peak of my mate Nick Quantrill's forthcoming novella - BANG BANG - to be published later this year by Byker Books. Can't wait :)

Happy reading, people :)


message 1746: by [deleted user] (last edited Feb 05, 2012 01:00PM) (new)

I started to read Tollesbury Time Forever and it is beautifully written, like reading poetry. I didn't realise that it dealt with an alocoholic (I would have if I'd read the blurb) and as my father died from alcoholism, I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to finish reading the book - quite a raw subject for me. Will prob try again later. As we are up to our eyes in home refurbishment at the mo I'm reading really light stuff that I can pick up and put down - so I've read several regency romances by Candice Hern lately. No where near as good as the incompareable Georgette Heyer - but much better than many regency romance writers that I've read lately.

:0)


message 1747: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I still haven't decided what to read next. Gonna go to bed soon with a book so I'll let everyone know tomorrow. I bet everyone is excited.


message 1748: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Do persist with Tollesbury Karen. I found it very uplifting.

Serching through TBR for the next to read


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12594 comments Finished Graveyard Games by Sheri Leigh earlier, can't really say I enjoyed it that much. Am now reading Mary Mary by JP and it seems a lot better than the last two I have read - have read 18% in over half an hour.
