Just finished - just started

So I've started The Secret of Chimn..."
It's on my Kindle already. I'll definitely get around to reading it.




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





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

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

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


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

Phew!

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.

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.


And thanks for the very kind review :)


i also finished a few shorts; Copy, The Beast in the Cave & Claire and the haircut of Doom
i also started The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating which i find to be very melancholic so far.





Museum of the Missing: A History of Art Theft
, a survey of art theft over the past century."
Was it good?


Yes, as long as you know what to expect of it. It's Art Theft 101. My review is at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... in case you want more info.

Thank you for the kind words - so glad you enjoyed the book! Jaye Frances

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.


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
