Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12620 comments I started A Surgeons Blade by Faith Mortimer yesterday. Too early to tell

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I enjoyed that Desley. I read it several months back but I found it quite thrillery (if that's a word?)

Anita | 3313 comments Just finished " And Still She Wept" by T.C. Barnes, a long book that you can really get your teeth into, great story, couldn't wait to finish it but am sorry to leave the characters behind.
Will be interested to hear what you think of The Prisoner of Heaven Steve, it's on my wish list but unsure if I want to pay full price for it. I really enjoyed his other novels so maybe I should, let me know what you think.

Keith | 24 comments just finished The Templar Legacy enjoyed this book the typos spoiled it for me thou just started When the Lion Feeds

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Finished Gaspar The Thief adn read (in an evening) Death in The Fishing Net. This is a shortish novel and an edge of the seat thriller.

I'm not far in yet, but so far so good. I think Zafon's a great writer who mixes literary with mainstream very well and that's a difficult balance to get right. I loved The Shadow of the Wind, but less so The Angels Game - not that it was bad, just not as good for me. He's started this latest book very well. It's frothing with intrigue already and with lovely writing I'm hooked. Fermin hasn't appeared yet, but he's had several mentions and always puts a smile on my face.


message 3257: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I love Zafon too, Steve. I enjoyed both Shadow and Angel's Game - the latter was very claustrophobic and atmospheric. I didn't know about Prisoner of Heaven - might have to read this - when I get a chance!


message 3258: by Steve (new)

Steve Robinson (steverobinson) | 2926 comments I might have to revisit The Angels Game. I like claustrophobic and atmospheric, but I don't recall much about it. Just the feeling that I like Shadow of the Wind a lot more.


message 3259: by Philip (sarah) (new)

Philip (sarah) Willis | 4630 comments Started and finished The Good Father
I picked this up for free recently and I just loved it!
An interwoven tale of troubled relationships, flawed lives and loves.I was engrossed throughout. The ending was terrific.

I don't know what to read next as this will be a hard act to follow.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12620 comments 31% into The Surgeons Blade and struggling to put it down, really enjoying it.

M.A. Comley (melcom) Finished Zo White and the Seven Morphs a fun quirky mystery and just started Her Fake Romance by Donna Fasano. Enjoying it so far but then Donna does write fab romances. ;-)

You were not supposed to say it was good Steve, now that's another full price book I have bought, good job Roy doesn't check how much I spend!
The Shadow of The Wind is one favourite books of all times, Angels Game was not quite as good but not far off.

My nephew has just read Hunger Games & has recommended them to me. I have plenty of books on my kindle & wishlist at the moment so won't be spending on these for a while.

Pat ()  | -245 comments Just finished Summer Tea I enjoy this series and have read them all. I will read the next when it comes out. Very readable, only small problem is the odd couple of words which are reversed here and there. Pity a little more polish would make all the difference
Summer Tea (The Tea Series, # 7) by Sheila Horgan

Lorraine  | 575 comments Finished The Book of Souls,even tho i enjoyed this book,it wasn't gripping,but the writing was good and i like the characters so i will be buying the next in the series.James Oswald likes to use the word guddling a lot,i thought it was a charming word,but didn't know if it was purely Scottish or if the Northerners use it as well.
Next i'm startingThe Kult.

message 3278: by Jonathan (new)

Jonathan Hill | 1599 comments Just finished http://www.amazon.co.uk/Going-Down-eb..., a gritty but readable account of a young man trying to survive in prison.
Just started http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alex-ebook/dp..., which is good so far.

Am I doing this right? Couldn't see links to the books on goodreads so just added amazon links.

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments if you look right above the comment there is an 'add book/author' link which you can search for either the book or author to add the link

Alex

going down doesn't seem to be added yet


message 3280: by Jonathan (new)

Jonathan Hill | 1599 comments Thanks! Couldn't see Alex either but you obviously found it! :)


message 3281: by Sadie (new)

Sadie Forsythe I've just finished The Eyes of the Desert Sand (Chrysalis Chronicles #1) by Edwin Wolfe , which I think preteens and tweens would probably have really enjoyed. I'm about to start Light & Dark The Awakening of the Mageknight by Daniel M. Fife .


message 3282: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I find that searching the authors name in the book title bit brings it up quicker

Yup, me too. Read it over coffee. Very good. Then wrote the world's daftest review...

...There was something in the coffee. At least that's my excuse. Probably.


message 3289: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Just read (it's a short story!) sleeps with the fishes by Nigel Bird. Quite a claustrophobic story of a man in hiding in a dystopian future. I really liked it.
