Philip (sarah) Willis | 4630 comments Started and finished Words to the Wise: Book Three which I can't praise highly enough.Cornelius is just a genius with words and his imagination knows no bounds.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Fantastic isn't it Sarah? And each book is better than the previous one. I wondered, after such a long wait, if I'd built his talent up in my mind to be more than it was, then when I read Sirrenvaag, it wiped the floor with me. Stunning.

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom by Christopher Ransom this morning. This book was one of the worst horror novels I've read in my entire life. It wasn't even the slightest bit scary. The author's writing style is terrible and I felt like most of the book was written by a horny 12-year-old. The whole plot was confusing and I disliked all the characters. I ended up not really caring what happened to any of them. This book is definitely one to avoid.

Now I'm about to begin The Green Mile by Stephen King by Stephen King.

I bought The Birthing House in paperback a few years back, then read so many atrocious reviews, it ended up at the charity shop without a page read!


message 3612: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished An Abandoned Woman the other day, the last of the Murray of Letho series, and another excellent story. Hope there are more to come!

Not reading anything properly at the mo as we have family staying with us at the mo.

message 3630: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I finished Death in a Scarlet Gown which starts a bit slow, no murders until 50% in but I still enjoyed it it's not a book if you like to get into the excitement straight away, and started Knowledge of Sins Past


message 3631: by Philip (sarah) (new)

Philip (sarah) Willis | 4630 comments Finished Escape to the Country a very relaxing read.


message 3632: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I just finished The Green Mile by Stephen King by Stephen King earlier today and I absolutely loved it. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and The Green Mile has got to be one of the best novels he has ever written. In fact, it's one of the best novels I have ever read in my entire life. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down! It is very beautifully written and extremely moving at times. The plot is original, gripping and heart-breaking. I'd give this book more than five stars if I could! My full review is here.

Now I'm about to start The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson by Shirley Jackson.

Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12621 comments I'm treating myself to reading a book on Sun, but need advice on whether I should read A Dish Best Served Cold by Cornelius Harker or Loss by Glen Krisch.

A Dish Best Served Cold is a marvellous scary book in my opinion x

I've read them both - and enjoyed them both. Harker is a favourite though so my opinion must be assumed to be biased! I just love the language he uses. Krisch is American, but that's not a problem. It was also good - read that second!


message 3640: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I loved A Dish Best Served Cold by Cornelius, I'm in the same boat as Ignite though. Big fan.


message 3641: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments There's room for more in this boat of ours! Hop in!

Hadn't noticed 'Cleaner of Chartres', I've enjoyed a couple of Salley Vicker's and this sounds promising, thanks!

Jay-me (Janet)  | 3784 comments Finished Death in a Scarlet Gown by Lexie Conyngham yesterday.
Today I am reading Optical Delusions in Deadwood (Deadwood Mystery, #2) by Ann Charles which I picked up as a freebie.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12621 comments Looks like it is Cornelius's book first, hope i get chance to read Glen's too, got a very hectic week or so

message 3650: by [deleted user] (new)

After dipping in and out of silly romances I'm now reading properly again (sometimes I like a mental holiday by reading silly light romances but after a while it's like eating too many sweets and I start to feel sick of them!)

Now I'm reading something completely different and enjoying it very much Lance's Travels - Does Cornwall. Very interesting and informative - I'm about half way through now.
