Oh me to, I loved the bronze horesman series. I am currently reading the anita blake series by Laurell K hamilton. Set around the same time as true blood, with vampires having outed themselves, but the protagonist is a necromancer, vampire executioner, and animator. Interesting if you are into that kind of thing.
I loved the Bronze Horseman series too,
Peanutter - have you read "Life is Good"? Its a true story about a very old negro man who learns to read for the first time in his I think 80s or even 90s, but goes back through his incredible life. It is a very worthwhile story, and while not all hearts and flowers it won't give you nightmares! Otherwise, Geraldine Brooks' People of the Book is very good too - likewise very interesting, thought provoking read but not horrific. Her Year of Wonders is brilliant too.
I'm struggling to get time with Shantaram. Its been so hot here that the girls are going crazy being confined to indoors, so not much peaceful time for me.
no, haven't read that either.
I have a "to be read" bookshelf, so when I'm up to a new book, I just grab one from there ;)
there's a variety of non fiction, thriller, drama, chick lit, biographies, etc ... quite a mix! and DH's fantasy/sci-fi stuff too.
I've read that series as well....got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too into the sex side of things, and kinda ruined it for me :(:
There is talk of it being made into a tv series LC
Yeah, I've been told it gets quite 'steamy' from book 5 onwards.
lol *STEAMY* ain't the word for it!!
If you are into the whole vampire type story lines, in a series, I LOVE the Sherrilyn Kenyon *Dark Hunter* series.
I'm reading (when I have time) 10th anniversary by James Patterson it's the 10th book in the women's murder club series. I love his writing.
I'm also reading the 3rd vampire academy book too lol
I am currently reading *I am Number Four* by Pittacus Lore (a pseudonym for James Frey & Jobie Hughes)
Really not sure if I like it or not...but I am only 3 chapters into it hehe
Nikky I understood that book was written by a collective of writers who work for James Frey rather than 2 people writing it together?
Marydean, from what I have read/googled it is just James and Jobie who are the co authors ...
But I could be wrong!
(quick, can't let my husband read that line!)
I have just started reading again and am currently reading a book called "Call the midwife" by Jennifer Worth. its about her time as a midwife in 1950's east end of London. great read so far.
Well, whoever wrote it I'd love to hear what you think of it when you're finished, James Frey reckons he's onto the ultimate formula for writing dead-set success novels... DH watched the movie one night but I kinda tuned out because I want to read it first.
Glad to see there are some other Bronze Horseman fans about. And I will have to look into Tatiana's Table, thanks for the tip peanutter!
Atm I am reading Caught by Harlan Coben. Typical murder mystery which smells of a setup! I really like his books and his style of writing. Although I do prefer his Myron Bolitar series as I know and love all the characters. Caught is just a standalone book.
Looking forward to reading some of your recomendations once I am done with this one :)
Will do Marydean :) ... finding it a bit hard to *get* into...hopefully it will start getting my attention!:
I have just been lent some books. Looks like some heavy going reading for me ahead. Might need to read one and take a break and read something light in-between :lol:
I have lent The Prague Cemetry, The Marriage Plot and Autumn Laing!
I have just finished reading the "Room". it is/was AMAZING.
told through the eyes of a 5 year old boy who is raised in an 11 by 11 foot room with his mother. very powerful and beautifully written story about love and hope. loved it!
oh, for google, the author's name is Emma Donoghue
Marydean, I'm really not to sure if I liked the book or not!:
The final 10 or so pages were awesome...but the lead up to that, well, I guess I didn't like the style of the author. I think I was expecting too much maybe.
Saying that, I have just ordered the next book in the series lol
I am reading a book called almost perfect by kelly denley ive read it a few times and find it very inspirational
