Allo girls

Well hubby bought me a Kobo today!!

And I have downloaded the Lee Child Novels!

So excited!

Shall be back to let you know how I'm getting a long with them

Also going to download a few others that have been suggested!

LOVE THIS THREAD!

[peanutter]

thanks, MD and OP!!

have ordered the books ... so don't need new books right now, but if they're as good and as easy a read as everyone seems to say, I should be through them in a week or so, right?


I have the urge to re-read The Forbidden Game trilogy, and the Bronze Horseman series too ... is it post-partum nostalgia, or am I just so tired that I want to read things I know well already, or are they just really really good books? I'm not sure ... but everytime I go to pick something new up, even if it's something I've really been looking forward to reading (like the Tina Fey book) I just put it down, and pick up something well worn and comfortable.

not that I've had much of a chance to read lately - I'm only getting 20 odd pages a day read, at best. I either have no time, no inclination, or I fall asleep after the first page because my poor little neurons are totally fried ...

so what am I reading tight now? subtitles on the telly, so I can have it on but very quietly while I feed DS2 ... that's what I'm reading these days!

Love Lee Childs! Read two of his recently

Ladies I just read "I came to say goodbye" by Caroline Overington. Completely sucked me in and I read it in like a day. (thank God for MILs!)

Can't quite figure out if it is based on a real event or not but it is wonderfully written, with a lovely narrative, intriguing characters and a twisting, gut-wrenching storyline. Warning: you'll need your tissues. Several times.

Great read. Highly recommended.

PN, you'll love The Hunger Games. For me, it got tothe point of "Hmm, bub is finally asleep! I should do the washing so I actually have underwear. Or I should catch up on sleep. But I wonder what Katniss is doing..." I neglected everything when I was reading those books lol.

I've just downloaded A Game Of Thrones. I wasn't convinced I'd like it but decided to give it a good. Hooked already!

[kelsbels]

Just finished the Hunger Games series - loved them! Had no plans of enjoying them or even of finishing the first book but thought I'd see what the hype was about! A week later and a house severely lacking tlc, I've finished them

So...what now? Suggestions please!

[~~Snoogans~~]

They were awesome weren't they Kels? LOVED the series

The girls here have put me onto Lee Childs....finished the first book and about to start the second! When Miss H and Miss Z LET me! grrr

[kelsbels]

Any new suggestions? Couldn't get into 50 shades of grey, a bit full on for my prudish liking, lol

Not sure what to read now...

[Joeve]

The Help totally awesome finished it in 5 days!

[OceanPrincess]

Just started Eragon. Loving it.

[Rowellen]

OP I am almost finished no 2 in that series. I like it better as it goes on. I found the style of writing in Eragon a bit difficult at first. I have since found out the author started writing it at 16 or thereabouts, so that explains it. He improves

So many books to add to the list. I saw 50 shades of grey at the bookshop the other day & thought "Is that that porno book I've been hearing about on BB?" lol! I got my kindle a couple of weeks ago so that might be one for that The help sounds good too. I haven't seen the movie. Any advice on whether to read the book or see the movie first?

[kelsbels]

The help is a beautiful story. I always read the books before I see the movies

Currently reading the griffin's flight by k j Taylor (book 2 of the fallen moon trilogy). It's fantasy and not bad at all. Bk 1 is the dark griffin.

I am getting a kindle touch for mothers day. I know I am because I ordered it myself! Should be arriving today but I'm not allowed to open it because it isn't mothers day. Cheezed off! I want to play with my new toy.

[PinkPalace]

i am currently reading "the girl who played with fire" which is the second installment of the millenium series (first was "the girl with the dragon tattoo")
i am hooked!, and especially on the bio of the late author of the books... very intriguing

[Sopdet]

I'm reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and "Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx on my iPhone.

I'm reading "Change your shoes, change your life" at home.

I do need to get more books, but am trying not to purchase any at the moment, so will need to go to the library.

I thought the same thing, but it is actually a novel You should read Matilda is Missing & Ghost Child as well.

[OceanPrincess]

Rowellen, book first. Always book first!!

LC - enjoy your touch, I've got one of them too! I adore it!

Still working through Eragon. Really enjoying it. If it gets better, can't wait

I just finished 'Before I Go to Sleep' by S.J. Watson - was very gripping and a good psychological thriller.
