Have finished Just after Sunset by Stephen King - don't think it is his strongest collection of shorts. Now about to start Black Book by Ian Rankin - i don't seem to have had much time for reading so far this month so am hoping that will change now

I'm a third of the way through Children of the Fog, now my Mum has pinched my kindle to read it. If you haven't read it yet it honestly is a real page-turner. The dog scratched at the door to be let in earlier and Mum was at a very tense part, no kidding she leapt in the air! LOl
Finished Mist by Mary Fitzgerald.Terrific.Finished The Waster's Tale certainly wasted my time.
Then started and finished Diamond Jubilee Apocalypse by Stewart King and it was terrific.I got it yesterday for free,and can definitely recommend it.
( sorry some of the links not available)
Mary Fitgerald is such a good writer isn't she? I had a look at the 'Look Inside' for the Waster's Tale. I found the Glaswegian impenetrable. I'm prepared to give that sort of thing a go and I did get deeply into Ian's Abide with Me in spite of its vernacular but Waster's was an accent too far for me.
Started
Interesting so far. I seem to be in a 'space' mode at the moment.
I enjoyed Mist back awhile too. Excellent read.
I've finished reading Crime in the Community which I quite enjoyed but not overly. Now I'm reading the next in the series and I am enjoying that more as I have got to know and like the characters - Reunited in Death.

Started and finished Earth Magic and really enjoyed it.Started and finished Stealing Jenny not so good,a tad too much preaching in it for my taste.
Hope to start The Hunter Inside tonight.
Still not finished A Tale of Two Cities or The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, but have started Watching Swifts anyway, and really enjoying it so far!
Finished Bang: Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin by David Wailing. Really good stuff. It has layers of meaning, I think.Part way through The Hunter Inside by David McGowan. It's one of those thrillers that won't let go! I think you'll enjoy it Sarah.
There's been a lot of discussion around Goodreads of Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles. It's a fascinating way inside that most iconic of heroes. I found the book so engaging I asked Madeline for an interview in case anyone wants to hear this bright and deep-thinking author speaking out about her book.
I've just finished reading Reunited in Death which I enjoyed much more than Crime in the Community, which is the first in the series.
Now I'm reading book three - A Reformed Character.

I've finished reading Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell last night and I absolutely loved it! Today I've started A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard.
I'm working through last year's downloads at the mo, so have at last read Debbie Mack's Least Wanted which was a quick read but, to be honest not engaging (and a little light on the reality of child prostitution) and have now almost finished her Identity Crisis which I'm enjoying a little more. Can't wait to get my hands on Hilary Mantel's new one though. Real meat!
Just finished Abide with MeJust started Mirage Men: An Adventure Into Paranoia, Espionage, Psychological Warfare, and UFOs
This morning I finished The Seventh Sister - Z.L. Arkadie. Now I am going back to The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - The Curious Case Of The Kidnapped Chemist - Darren Humphries and dipping into Stone Rain - Linwood Barclay.
I've just finished A Reformed Character and am now reading the last in the Pitkirtly series, Death at the Happiness Club. I'm really enjoying this series, so when I've finished the last one I plan to pop a thread into the recommendations section.

Reading
Like it a lot. A gentle story, neads a little polish to really shine. Formatting goes a little strange part way through.

edit... just bought it. a reasonable price too.

Won't get round to reading it for a while yet, unfortunately, as I'm determined to finish all last year's downloads first!
Have now finished Debbie Mack's Identity Crisis, which was ok but didn't really grab me. And have started Maureen Lee's Duskwhich is a bit slow getting started, but will persevere for now.
Just finished The Hunter Inside by David McGowan. Really good thriller/mystery with supernatural overtones. Just one plot thing that I couldn't get over. Damned good read though.Then I read Timeline by David Wailing. Another really unusual and compulsive short story by the lad.
Just started a book of flash fiction by Will Macmillan Jones which doesn't appear to be on here. Strange little stories but the formatting is mad.
Just finished One Hundred Years of Solitude I found it a bit confusing to begin with as everyone seemed to have the same name but I got it worked out in the end (once we got past the 17 Aureliano's!).
Having just finished The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - The Curious Case Of The Kidnapped Chemist, now I am off to read Stone Rain as it needs to be sent to a friend.
I tried one hundred years of solitude, but then I decided to join the GoodReads UK Amazon Kindle forum ;)
Finished Spirit Horses and as I said earlier it needs a little help in the formating but it is a lovely touching story. I admit I shed a little tear at least twice.

Reading The Aeneid at the moment - it's for a genre challenge in another group and the only way I could face War...
I finally decided to start Lords and Ladies Can't go wrong with a bit of Prachett and I'm starting to get way behind on my challenge
I have finished Rage of Angels, enjoyed it although found the ending a tad disappointing. Started Ford County stories by John Grisham but wasn't enjoying it much so have put it to one side and started Twisted by Jeffrey Deaver
Fiona, I am right there with you. I'm reading a borrowed library book atm on overdrive app on my itouch. horrid compared to kindle

Where do you find these books, Kew! Sounds really interesting.
edit - just checked, realised she also wrote Corpse Way which is on my TBR pile. Getting there slowly!

Many of them are through trawling through the freebie lists - that's how I found these two (yorkshire dales mysteries) I also pick many up through recommendations from the forums..

Just finished David Graham's A Sword For Hire. A decent fantasy quest story - nice read.Just about to start Martin Cosgrove's The Destiny of Ethan King.
I finished The Survival of Thomas Ford a few days ago. Cracking read!Read a few short stories before I started something longer. Now about 40% into Diary of a Parallel Man by Mahershalalhashbaz. Another good read so far.

I picked up the last one free yesterday and read it in one chunk overnight it was so good.
I am also dipping in and out of a lovely poetry book by Marc D. Browne that was free yesterday.
