I've just finished I'd Sooner Starve! which I quite enjoyed but didn't find hillarious.
Now I've just started Mary Fitzgerald's new books, The Imperfect Tense and it's looking very good so far!

I've just started the new Mary Fitzgerald too - in fact I broke off mid-way through The Book of Human Skin to start it. Mary is one of my favourite authors so I couldn't resist and as Karen (Kew) says, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... is looking good so far!
I should add that I was enjoying The Book of Human Skin very much and I've recently finishedDavid Copperfield in honour of Charles Dickens' anniversary.
I'm on chapter four now Nansi and I think the book is up to her usual standard - it's beautifully written and a joy to read so far!

Just started (even though I'm in the middle of another book) Jon Rosenberg's Pantheon of the Dead. I think his writing style has matured even more. Hmmm. Enjoying this.
I'm 64% into The Imperfect Tense now but I have to stop for a breather or I will be reading this all night. This is one of Mary's best books, up there with Richard Wilde. I can really recommend this!

just finished Treasure Island a refresher before i read Flint and Silver: A Prequel to Treasure Island now reading Beekeeping for Beginners (a short story)
Gave up on Adventures in Pharmacy, then read A Party for Patsy which is an emotional tale of a family affected by cancer. Am now reading Incidents of A Slave

Finished
and was quite disappointed with the end, but quite enjoyed the book still. Then read
which was a fun book. Not sure what to read next...
I finsihed Mary Fitzgerald's lastest novel this morning, The Imperfect Tense and I think that it is one of her best. Doesn't quite knock Richard Wilde off the number one spot, but is a very close runner. I'm not sure how to describe it - it's a love story but not romance, there are darker themes and mence running through the tale, but it is beautifully written. I loved it and it's one that I will definately read again and can whole-heartedly recommend.
Then I read a novella/novellette (whichever is longer),A Fine Woman, which I also enjoyed. This is a historical novel set during and just after world war II. Another one which I can recommend.

Well, we can't all like the same thing!

Susie is a Goodreads author.
Reading "The Recruiter" by Roger Weston but it is not up my street really. Much too far-fetched.
I couldn't get on with "The Recruiter" so have ditched it and I have now started "Sendero" by Max Tomlinson.
Started and finished Tick Tick Tickvery good,hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one.Now going back to Touch.
I've just finished reading Trav Zander and enjoyed it.

Great fast-paced story. A fantasy for all ages, though geared toward young teens. One of the best indie books I've read so far!

I knew you'd like it Karen!
I've just finished Jon Rosenberg's Pantheon of the Dead which was a brilliant story. It's spoilt for me though by the many small (and a few bigger) errors. He reckons to be issuing an update but not for a couple of weeks so I shall have to hang fire with a review. :(
I finished reading Pied and Prodigious last night and I can recommend it as an entertaining read if you need a laugh! I giggled most of the way through it and laughed out loud a couple of times. There is even a Dicey (Darcy) moment with a swim in a pond...
Now I'm reading Puppy Love which I bought in one of the daily deals. I think that I will enjoy it - I've only just started it.

Jon Rosenberg has uploaded the new version of Pantheon of the Dead and I've added my review. It's really a powerful bit of writing. Very good indeed.Just started Dark Tidings by Ken Magee. Two parallel stories so far but very nicely and humorously told.
Hi Ignite. Did you have to ask for it or was it some sort of automatic thing as that might be my next book? I downloaded it tithe day it came out I think so it will definitely be the older version.

Go to 'help' - right hand on the top of your Amazon screen and click. Half way down is a button saying 'contact us' click that then whenever there's a choice go for Kindle, and Kindle content then use the email box to ask. Mention the book and the author - I usually mention the ASIN too - it's in the product description. It only take a couple of hours and you'll get an email back.

Loved it! Started
Read the first story and stopped halfway through the second.This is really not for me.I hated it. Not horror just gra..."I read Serial as well. It was a little much for me. Good that you stopped as it only gets more graphic.
Gave up on "The Possessions of Doctor Forrest". I used to have arule to finish every book I started but I have so many to be read why struggle when I could be enjoying myself.So I started and rapidly finished a very funny novel "This is Life" by Dan Rhodes.Now started on "Island of Wings" an Orange long lister... we shall see but it must be of reasonable quality to get that far.
I'm struggling a bit with Puppy Love, so I had a break and read short a free romance which was a bit naff - Her Sister's Keeper, now I'm trying again with Puppy Love - I find the little dachshund a little irritating, although he's sweet, he talks too much! I shouldn't have strayed away from "our" authors because I've read some cracking stuff that they've written. I'll keep going a bit longer with Puppy Love, then I'm going to read something else by one of our authors!!

You're alright DM I had to stop reading yours cause apparently my kindle doesn't like a bath. I'm now reading the DTB
. Got about halfway through
though and was very funny least I can still read it on my laptop when I'm at home

Oh dear. Have you read The King's Speech: How One Man Saved the British Monarchy? I found that fascinating - it's not a book of the film, but is written by Lionel Logue's grandson using original diaries, papers and newspaper cuttings that his grandfather had saved.
