Craving? (As in loony - oh no, that's raving, sorry! :)

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

I think it was meant to be grabing?

[Kath]

Grabbing?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Yeah, but it's Patti...she checks for typos 4 or 5 times you know!...lol.

You're assuming it hasn't already done so.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Good point. How can we be sure Patti has survived...

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

What's the time where Patti is?

[Patti (baconater)]

Same as there, Vanessa. I've been off reading in the garden.

[Jud]

were your ears burning patti?

[Patti (baconater)]

All of me actually. HOT here today.

[Jud]

lucky for some, i think i'm gonna get blown to timbuktu when i try to cycle home

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

I'm going a nice shade of rust today!

[Ian]

Just finished and well into

[Kath]

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a terrific book. Some books stay with you don't they?

[Ian]

Slow start but it is growing on me

[Kath]

Stick with it. I thought it was wonderful.

[Patti (baconater)]

I agree. Stick with it, Ian.

[Lorraine]

Steve, I don't remember much of the romance actually ! But I remember being quite surprised by the outcome, but then, I was never good at guessing the end anyway !

[Lorraine]

Oh, by the way, please don't anyone think of me as a weirdo. I have given up on Artemis Fowl. I have decided to re-read Tempt the Devil lol, especially the first chunk of it because I flicked quickly most of the pages... and now that I have gone over it, well I think I'll read it again right till the end ! So I guess I'll probably have read it twice within seven days :/
It's funny, never thought myself of a romance kinda girl, but just can't seem to get enough of the love and the passion that I found in this book. Think I have just opened myself to a new genre lol.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I'm still on the easy reading --- (not usually my kind of book!)
I think I have Tempt the Devil, so I might take a look at that next.

I was planning on starting Artemis Fowl at the weekend if my brother brings my niece's copy over for me - he might be over earlier though as my dad is in hospital at the moment.

[Janet]

I've just finished The Kite Runnerand really enjoyed it so immediately downloaded A Thousand Splendid Suns so looking forward to reading that too! Just started reading Along Came A Demon which is ok, but to be honest I wasn't expecting much -I'm just trying to get through some of my freebies!

[Jud]

I can't remember much about a thousand splendid suns think I'm getting it confused with the ending of the kite runner... I just finished The Chronicles of Narnia in chronological order and have just started Artemis Fowl

[Lyra]

Patti, I still have not forgiven Jean Auel for the Land of Painted Caves.

Just finished The Pillars of the Earth (ken Follett) really loved this one.

I'm currently reading Cave ( Alli Cooper)
a life less ordinary ( Trisha Goddard) surprisingly interesting
and I cant wait to get to Heaven ( Fannie Flagg) I re-read hers quite a lot ... Fried Green Tomatoes at the whistle stop Cafe - welcome to the world, baby girl ...

usually read several at once and its a mark of a favourite when I stick to just one.

please how do you post a link?

[Patti (baconater)]

Posting a Goodreads link isn't too tricky. Just click the add book/author link above the comment box.

Amazon links are a bit trickier. I'll have a look at Simon's how-to guide tomorrow and stick it in a thread. (I know, Karen. I promise I will.)

Or you can copy and paste the URL from the amazon book page in the comment box.

[Catalina]

started last night jodie Picoult's last book - Sing You Home...only read a few pages, but i am really getting into it...love it already

[Kath]

Janet, I read Along came a Demon and the follow- ups a few months back. They weren't a bad read but not literature! Hard to follow A Thousand Splendid Suns with that though.

I recently finished Six Seconds too and loved it. 5 stars from me, and a freebie!
I ditched Artemis Fowl after the sample, just not for me and am now enjoying Girl on a Swing.

[Patti (baconater)]

Have you seen the price of Six Seconds now?

It's great we all got it while it was free!

[Kath]

I just went to get it - what a drip! I didn't bother before. That'll teach me to be tardy!

[Jud]

aw no!! i meant to say to my cousin to get it while it was free but i forgot... oops. She'll have to make do without it, or pay for it.

[Patti (baconater)]

Silly!

With the "lending" system with Kindle would you like me to lend you my copy? With your reading speeds you'd get through it within the 14 days. Send me a PM with your Kindle's email address and I'll see if it works.

[Jud]

well i forgot the name of it so it was kind of hard to recommend it to someone when all i could remember was it was free and someone mentioned it on GoodReads...

but nevermind

Thought we can't lend in the UK yet?

Oh, didn't realise that.

[Ian]

Will be good when lending hits the UK. A Thousand Splendid Suns is now utterly gripping. The Taliban are in town........growing my beard in disguise.

[Kath]

I thought we couldn't lend either but thanks Geoff. I need to read a couple of books from authors here before I launch out into the deep again but if we really can, well, I'll take you up on it shortly! Thanks chuck.

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

Some people have got .com accounts like Gingerlily. I don't know if they can lend.

[Patti (baconater)]

I vaguely recall something said 'over there' about .com being able to lend to .uk.

Care to investigate, Gingerlily?

[Jud]

i think you should gingerlily it would be very informative for us all

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Ok who wants to be a guinea-pig? I'll have a look later and see what books I have that I can lend.

[Patti (baconater)]

Well, if you have Six Seconds, you could try sending it to Ingnite, the silly woman who didn't grab a freebie!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I don't have Six Seconds (have completely run out of time...)

[Lyra]

Patti(PE) thanks for the link information. Amazing what you dont see when its straight in front of your nose :) I see 'add book/author' now !

Im pleased to see Six Seconds has good reviews, got it the other day

[Patti (baconater)]

No worries, Lyra. Always happy to help when I can. :)

[Lorraine]

Hubby and I got it when it was free, from the good reviews and the price now looks like it was worth snatching it then !

[Jud]

I just finished Artemis Fowl and am about to start Romeo and Juliet. I should say i would have started it but i only had 10 minutes of lunch left to decide what to read and once I finally did that I had to flick through 24% of my copy to get to the start, so I got nothing read. Stupid university person blabbing on about Shakespeare, if i wanted to know about shakespeare i'd have bought a book about shakespeare not one of his plays, i want to read his play thats why i bought one of his plays!

grrr...

rant over

I know what you mean - I like a mix of genres, thrillers interspersed with a bit of chick lit for light relief and the more literary stuff only rarely! I'd never really read any fantasy, paranormal until I had my kindle so that makes an occasional appearance for a change!
