It's on my Kindle already. I'll definitely get around to reading it.

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've just finished The Divide by Nicholas Evans by Nicholas Evans and Plum Lovin' (Stephanie Plum, #12.5) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich.

The Divide started off so well but the plot did get quite slow halfway through the book. I did wish it would speed up at times but the story did remain strangely engaging. The last 60 or 70 pages of the novel were just as gripping and compelling as the first half of the novel. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the family drama sub-plot a lot more than I liked the murder mystery plot but I think that was probably because I didn't like the character of Abbie all that much so I found it hard to care about what happened to her. I loved all the vivid and wonderful descriptions of the Montana setting and landscape that made me feel like I was actually there. Nicholas Evans has got a great writing style and I love his use of language and imagery. I gave this novel 3½ stars!

I love all the regular Stephanie Plum novels but I'm not sure I like these between the numbers novellas. I was very disappointed by Plum Lovin'. Nothing much happened in it and it was extremely dull and boring. It wasn't anywhere near as funny as the regular novels do be and I really hate the supernatural element in the novella. I gave it 1½ stars!

Now I'm a few chapters into The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly by Jennifer Donnelly.

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) Just finished The Drop by Michael Connelly and posted a GR review. I don't usually like police procedurals, but I can deal with Harry Bosch novels.

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments On this morning's commute I finished Alice Parker's Metamorphosis and began... Les Miserables: Tome 1. In French. Hugo is surprisingly easy going so far, but this one might take me a while. The Bishop of Digne is still allocating 90% of his salary to various good causes at the moment.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I finished The Secret of Chimneys and started The Bird That Nobody Sees I'm 40% through it and really enjoying it.

Pat ()  | -245 comments Just finished Ice Diaries

Enjoyed it very much

Also Just finished Darren HumphriesThe Man From U.N.D.E.A.D.'s St. Valentine's Day Massacre

A neat tale of love and unlove


message 4510: by Suzy (new)

Suzy Taylor | 8 comments Just finished "The 13th Juror", by John T. Lescroart. I liked it a lot; had me guessing until the end.

I am now reading "Impulse", by Michael Weaver. The author has crawled into the mind of a serial killer. So far; a page turner.

Kath | 1233 comments just finished The Third Rule - Part One Atrocities by Andrew Barrett The Third Rule - Part Two Running Scared by Andrew Barrett and The Third Rule - Part Three Sacrifices by Andrew Barrett

I read it too, Suzie, and I think it's worth it. Enjoy.

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments Just started Inventing God by Nicholas Moseley. So far it's good


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12622 comments I've not picked very good books this year, gave up on my series (still need to pick a new one actually, but don't have any decent length ones without buying books to complete, which I don't want to do), and am struggling with my letter B book. In fact, I'm actually preferring to read paperbacks at the moment, although have been reading that for ages cos its nearly 600 pages. So behind on my challenge this year, but have picked an Agatha Christie book for my letter C challenge, that will perk me up after I've read the current one (which might get given up on too)


message 4520: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Just finished The Bird That Nobody Sees, I can highly recommend it.

No idea what to start next. I might just leave it and finish my paperback The Favored Child instead of reading something new on my kindle

I will review it too Stu!

I snuck in a reading of Day by Day while still at work but it's off to Spanish class soon so I'll not worry about starting anything else.


message 4523: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Sinclair | 939 comments Evening all. I've just finished And Then There Were None and it was superb. It's a classic everyone is likely to be familiar with and gripped me all the way through. Great plotting, a large cast of characters handled with skill and it's full of twists and turns literally to the last page.
I have just started Hellraisers: The Inebriated Life and Times of Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris & Oliver Reed which is about the boozing antics of Oliver Reed, Peter O'Toole, Burton and Richard Harris. It's a right laugh so far. They clearly all had a wonderful time.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I just finished Shaun's The Heist and I'm still breathless.

Read it yourself and see what I mean.

Paul (latepaul) Just finished Elevenby Mark Watson. Very good although the ending had me open-mouthed and not necessarily in a good way (still thinking about it). Very warm and sympathetic about its characters though which I liked.

Have now started The Magicians' Guild by Trudi Canavan. She was interviewed on the Sword and Laser Youtube show which I watch and she came across as so likeable that I wanted to read her work.

Pat ()  | -245 comments Finished Down Among the Dead MenWell written and unusual insight into the goings on of a mortuary technician. Interesting and in places very moving.


message 4547: by Sam (new)

Sam Kates Just finished The Land of Later on

Enjoyed. Interesting idea; well-executed. Unlike some reviewers of the book, whether my own beliefs dovetailed with the book's premise was irrelevant. It's a work of fiction.

Just started Something Wicked This Way Comes


message 4548: by Karen (new)

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments Enjoyed Baynard's List so am sticking with the 13th century and moving straight on with A Dreadful Penance .. Do hope there'll be another book in the series - I really like Stephen Attebrook as a hero.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Let me know what you think Paul, I've had that one on my tbr list for a while.
