Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12620 comments I've just finished A Physician's Plight: a Memoir, a very compelling read of a woman's life and relationships, including a very messy divorce, but the formatting means it is confusing to read in places, and you find yourself re-reading bits to understand.

Now reading 9 Lives, a book of cat stories

Judith Starkston | 27 comments I finished the latest of Rebecca Cantrell's mysteries set in Berlin before WWII, A Game of Lies. This one has Hannah Vogel covering the 1936 Olympic games as an undercover Swiss reporter--and gathering intelligence for the British. It's as thought-provoking and page-turning as her other books. Here's my review.

Linda David (lindzz) Just finished Pride and Prejudice and The Serpent in the Glass, currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray - very interesting story. Next, am in the mood for Stephen King's The Stand (re-reading for about the 4th or 5th time, I forget which!) - keep hearing it mentioned all over Goodreads and it's whetted my appetite!

The ending is certainly...affecting. Do finish it though.

I'm sure it will, Keith. I'd be very surprised if it didn't.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Oh I didn't know that was a book I thought it was just a movie. I know what happens in the end but I'd still be interested in reading it

message 2262: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments It's meant to be a YA book, Jud. It's very well done, I think.

The film wasn't as good as the book, which is par for the course but did make me very emotional.

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments So I decided on Relationship Status! Which I have now finished. Very entertaining short read! Will now start one of the monthly reads

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I just started The Shadow Eife, which for some reason I can't find to link but it is on Good Reads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92... It's my book club read this month and realised that I was running out of time to get it read before Tuesday.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Just finished All the fun of the fair by one of our authors, Jamie Sinclair. It's a remarkable book, very character driven and the end is very satisfying but a bit unexpected. A real five star job this, in my opinion.

Just started The Plague by Lisa C Hinsley but I can't find it on here. It's a novella and I'm half way through - it's dark and gripping.

Jess Mountifield | 165 comments Just finished Millennium's Children: Sanctuary, and totally loved it, already started (and by started i mean I'm already half way through) on The Emerald City and liking it so fr though I've noticed quite a few typo's extra words and missing words so it could do with a bit of an edit.

Helen Smith (emperorsclothes) | 39 comments I finished Before I Go to Sleep & loved it. Just about to start Jumble Tales.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12620 comments I've read a few this week - [[ASIN:B0057XOM72 9 Lives: Stories for Cat Lovers]] - a very varied collection of cat stories, some just a bit too short for my liking.

Then I read [[ASIN:B0063LY2AE TOP CASES of The FBI]] - wasn't overkeen on his style of writing, I didn't feel as thought I learnt anything, and I didn't think it was the best choice of cases.

Then Whitney - The Greatest Love of All, which I Cant find a link to. Although I found a few new bits out, it was very repetitive and I Felt could have expanded on parts of her life more. There were sections on articles, photographs etc and these felt like they were in the wrong order. The articles section felt a bit rushed, due to the errors in it.

Now reading [[ASIN:B005DXFGJE Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum]]

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I've been dipping in and out of Uncle Mildred and Other Stories all day. Perfect for 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there. Cracking stories! I haven't much left though. I hope Ian does another book of short stories soon. He does them so well.

And the cover works so well, too!

I agree Patti, they are great huh? I cried at one of them but can't remember which now!


message 2290: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I've not cried yet but I'm loving the guy with his 'office' in the snug. I'd love a whole novel about him.


message 2291: by Emma (new)

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments I remember wanting to know what was in the casses under the bed!

Feel like I wanna re-read now as it was a while a go that I read it! :-)


message 2292: by Emma (new)

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments I think there is a couple of stories with that guy with his 'office' in the snug. If I remember correctly anyway

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Yep, at least two.


message 2294: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Just started The Serpent in the Glass by our Mr Andrews. It's wonderful. I'm nearly half way through. He reckons it's a slow starter but I can't say I agree with him. I hope to finish it today - it's too wet to go out anywhere.

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments I finished Solitary Pleasures by Nell Grey and It's A Dog's Life (A DI Lorne Simpkins Novelette) Mel Comley by M A Comley last night, both great reads. Started another book club read Mark of the Dragon Queen by Katie W. Stewart .


message 2296: by [deleted user] (new)

I've just read a few medieval romances by Denise Domning which were quite enjoyable - I prefered the books in the Graiston series.

Now I've decided to read Mark of the Dragon Queen.
