Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) | 942 comments This morning I finished Private Eyes and also read Husband Won't Buy Wife a Kindle - Franklin Eddy. Now I am reading Star Gazing and I am loving it so far.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Just started Few Are Chosen by M T McGuire. It's my sort of genre really but the title put me off. The K'Barthan Trilogy. I really hate the thought of loads of names I'm not going to be able to pronounce. I have hopes though, having read the 'Look Inside' bit.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I loved it Ignite and there aren't lots of horrible name. Just read book two and that's even better.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Well, I'm deep enough in not to want to stop and it's not full of nasty names! I should have read this ages ago.

Just finished and reviewed Paul Dale's The Dark Lord's Handbook. Have you read this GL? It's funny, right up your street and it turns the genre rather upside down. I loved it!

I've just finished Daphne by MC Beaton/Marion Chesney which I enjoyed. I've been quite disjointed in my reading lately - I've read a few free romances which weren't that special, I'm slowly reading Yes Sister, No Sister: My Life as a Trainee Nurse in 1950s Yorkshire but am not overly fussed about it (but I paid nearly £5 so I'm going to read it!) and I'm 70% through DD's book, The Promise, which I am enjoying too.

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I have The Dark Lords Hndbook on my TBR list. Looking forward to it.

Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12619 comments Just finished Fully Loaded by Blake Crouch - i nearly gave up as i wasn't overkeen on the first two stories but then got hooked by the third. Still not impressed that the book finished by 84%.

Susan (susielily) | 469 comments Just starting The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for my book club. Saw the film and loved it.


message 2117: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished reading M.C. Beaton's Six Sisters series with Diana the Huntress and Frederica in Fashion. I enjoyed the whole series, loved the humour in it - but she hasn't got Georgette Heyer's lightness of touch. I wanted a genre change as I've been reading a lot of romance lately but decided to stick with M.C. Beaton so now I'm reading Hasty Death - I should be enjoying this as it's my sort of thing, but I just can't get into this series. I read the first in the series a few months ago and wasn't fussed on it. I thought I'd try again as I'd bought the rest in the last kindle sale, but it's still not really doing much for me. I find the heroine, Rose, irritating...

I've read the first in the Six Sisters series - saving pennies (& hoping for reductions in an Easter Sale ;) )
the Edwardian series I read through but they weren't as enjoyable as the others.

I'm reading The Ambivalent Corpse (Crime and Pun Is Meant) by Jerold Last and then possibly Earth Magic by Linda M Priestley

I enjoyed The Other Room GR. Have you read The Shelter? - a novella by James. Very good read it is too.
You might like to try Mark Faulkner's Flux too which is very thought provoking horror.
Cornelius Harker's Dark Fantasy Saga Words to the Wise and
Words To The Wise: Book Two have elements of horror in them but they are so much more than pure horror. He has some great fans here. His novella A Dish Best Served Cold Is a supernatural thriller too and very spooky with a twist in the tail.
Darren Humphries' Stormwreck is his only (so far) horror story and I really wish he would write more in this genre. He has the talent, just not the confidence I think.


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Just finished The Shadowed Valley, and just starting The Wizard of Time. Have given a review for the former.

I've also just finished an orange and am about to start on a box of chocolates - but I don't think you wanted to know that ;)

Haha! maybe. It was quite a gentle vampire tale compared to a lot these days.

Just starting Survivor In Death (In Death, #20) by J.D. Robb by JD Robb (book 20 in the In Death series).


message 2127: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished Hasty Death and Yes Sister, No Sister: My Life as a Trainee Nurse in 1950s Yorkshire, both of which I quite enjoy but wasn't over fussed about. Now I'm reading Shelley The Lifeboat Labrador which I am enjoying very much, although the formatting needs some work - there are several blank pages which made me think there was something wrong with my kindle at one point!

Philip (sarah) Willis | 4630 comments Finished Abide with Me.Loved it.What a hard act to follow so I went to Home page on Kindle,shut my eyes pressed the page turn 4 times and 4 books down.
I have now started Phone Monkey : The Secret Diary of a Frustrated Call Worker


message 2136: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Just finished Few Are Chosen by M T McGuire. It's another funny fantasy (am I in a rut?) and is wickedly clever and the main character, a devout coward, is brilliantly engaging. Very worth while reading.

Just started Gray Justice by Alan McDermott. It's a fast mover and really gripping. Thanks to Sarah for recommending this.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments The sequel to Few are Chosen is even better Ignite - you NEED to get it!

message 2143: by [deleted user] (new)

I've finished reading Shelley The Lifeboat Labrador which was slower going than I expected. I did enjoy reading about Shelley but would have like to hear more about the life boat rescues and less about the author's pub visits. Still, it's a nice gentle read. I also read Earth Magic which was good - was inspiring to read what a difference the allotment had made to people's lives. Now I'm reading yesterday's daily deal - Mummydaddy which makes compelling reading - I'm half way through already.

message 2150: by Judith (new)

Judith Starkston | 27 comments Iran is in the news these days and I find the issues compelling, so I enjoyed reading Libby Fischer Hellmann’s new novel, A Bitter Veil, set in the midst of the Iranian revolution that brought Khomeini to power. A good read and a great way to absorb the background info of the current problems. Two essential themes predominate in this viscerally effective novel: the fate of women when their choices have been taken from them and the banality of evil, to borrow a phrase applied to the Nazis—who also appear in this book if somewhat indirectly. Here’s my review.
