Im reading Catching fire oh and hidden by Cathy Glass

[~me~]

OP, glad I could be of help
I have just finished One Day and was very surprised by the ending..haven't seen the movie yet.

I am reading The Time of my Life by Cecilia Ahern (Bertie Ahern's daughter ). I have read quite a few of her books.
This one is about a girl who is struggling with a break up and enventually is summoned by her 'Life' for a an audit I suppose you would call it on her behaviour. 'Life' is with her to help get her back on track.
She writes some pretty funky books and they are usually a little out there. I love her!

Cassius: Is that a movie as well? I am pretty certain All Quiet on the Western Front was a movie years ago, it was my Dad's all time favourite.

This afternoon I devoured "Jasper Jones" by Craig Silvey. It's set in a small WA town in the early 60's from the perspective of a 13 year old boy. It was wonderful. I felt good just for having read it.

Now I have to go find his first book.

I haven't but I'll look for it. I should probably join a library rather than spend all my money on books.

I've just started "the vampire psychologist" - it looked interesting enough in the bookshop.

After checking The Slap TV thread, I am curious to know if anyone has any reviews they are willing to share?
I am wanting to download it onto my Kobo.
The Kobo site has two covers showing with a $10 price difference between them.
I can't tell if the second release showing the cover of the actors on the TV show is any different to the original release.
I really don't care about covers as I am just downloading, so I am hoping someone may be able to shed some light if they are both the same version of book.

finished "I remember you" while on hols, and have been chowing down the mags since

I just finished The Sending. Very ho hum about it. It annoyed me in the beginning that Carmody felt the need to explain everything that previously happened (like, why Dragon was in a coma, where Matthew was, relationship between Elspeth and Rushton). She did it in Keeping Place too and it's such an annoying obvious page filler that is completely pointless. You don't start reading the series half way through!!!

But it did get better. It was interesting to see Elspeth's quest finally start, but I don't like the way it ended somewhat hanging...who knows how many years we have to wait for the final book. The publisher is saying next year, but we've heard that before.

Now I'm onto My Sister's Keeper. Never read it before. Haven't seen the movie either.

I read The Sending recently too. I was so disappointed to realise I had just read 750 pages of nothing & I still had to wait for yeat another book. I hope it doesn't take as long this time. I'm sure when I first started looking for the release date for the sending it was sometime in 2006 & it only just came out with an extra book in between and another one to come when it was all supposed to be one book. She really drags it out

I read My Sister's Keeper before reading The Sending. I enjoyed it. I watched the movie straight after as I had taped it off the TV while reading it. It was pretty good too. Enjoy!

I'm now reading book 2 of the song of fire & ice series - A Clash of Kings.

OP: will have to borrow Fall Girl ...

MD: yes, but have hit a hiccup with Nano ... struggling ... struggling ...

I decided to shelve the mags for another year, and have picked up a second hand book I bought a while ago called "I remember you". English chick lit, I think.

[Purple Penguin]

Finished reading 'The Bride stripped bare' and 'With my body' both by Nikki Gemmel and am back to reading 'Under the dome' by Stephen King.

[~me~]

After finishing The Slap I needed something light, so I am now reading Patricia Scanlan - Love and Marriage. I love Patricia Scanlan, this book is a follow on from a couple of her other's, so it's the continuing story.

Im reading a book I found at my IL's called My Place by Sally MOrgan. Aussie book, really really great stuff, am about halfway through! Prior to that I finished off Brother Fish by Bryce Courtney which I loved and couldn't put it down.

[beansbeans!]

I finished reading 'The Help" the other week and since then Im bookless.

I find that I am really picky when Im pregnant when it comes to reading. That book was the 8th book Ive started since been pregnant, and the 1st book Ive finished. Since I finished it though Im on the hunt for something new that I can read before sprout comes along. But I havent found anything that really sounds good.
