What are you reading right now? Come in and tell us!

I've only ever read her stand alone books, like The Gathering. I refuse to read another series by her. She just takes so long to get them finished, and then starts other ones before the original is done (Darkfall, Little Fur.)

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

RobertJordanitis. (wheel of time - another series there that got totally derailled, had huge books of nothing and took waaaay too many years after saying book 5 was the end.) I'll be finishing the series but won't be starting another Carmody one.

I'm waiting for the school hols to start then I'm reading Snuff... I can't believe I've got it in the house and haven't read it yet! I'm so good with my marking...

I'm reading Christopher Paolini's latest book, Inheritance. Finding it hard to get into, anyone else have this problem? I want to love and devour it like Eragon and the others, but I just can't :/

I am reading The Art of Friendship by Erin Kaye. I thought it was going to be light hearted, it has some really confronting issues
I was holding back the tears when I was reading it on the train the other morning
It's a great read and shows just how friendships can really be put to the test.

I've read a few over the past few weeks.

The Cathy Kelly short story collection "Christmas Magic" left me feeling...Meh. Just how I feel at the end of every short story collection I've read. No reflection on the author really, just that I don't enjoy them.

Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares, which is the final in the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series, was sensational. The previous book was supposed to be the final one, but it left me feeling lost and wanting more. And so there was a surprise one! Finishes off the series really well, broke my heart and made me cry. Worth reading the series, even if you aren't a young teenage girl (The final one is a few years on, so they're all in their 20's)

Getting Personal by Chris Manby was pretty good. Predictable, but fun anyway. I've had it on my shelf for years and decided to give it a go. Figured out what was going to happen by page nine, but still a page turner. Light and fluffy.

Where Rainbows End by Celia Ahern was great. Another one that was just sitting on the shelf. She wrote P.S. I Love You. This one was all in letter form. I really enjoyed it, and it made me wonder why I hadn't read anything else by her before. Starts off when the main characters are seven years old, and finishes when they are fifty.

Not sure what's next. Will raid what I've got tonight and see what takes my fancy.

The Street Sweeper by Elliot Perlman.

Oh. My. God.

I was so desperate to sink my teeth into it after Seven Types of Ambiguity - I was desperate for more, and I finished all 500-odd pages of this one in a week, and was again desperate for more, for "dessert" so to speak. Then I realised that this book *was* my dessert. So now I'm back to waiting for him to write something else.

[myturn]

Yes yes yes! Girl with dragon tatoo is Definitely worth the read! Once I got into it I loved it!!! Read the whole series quite quickly after that!

AFM - I just finished reading 'Sister' by rosamund lupton

About a girl who's sister goes missing and she doesn't agree with the police investigation. It's written as the sister tells the story to a lawyer over a series of sessions and tells her journey to find her sister.
I bought it out of the 2 for $25 shelf at target on Friday..... Finished it already!!!

Ahhh. What to read now!?! It's hard to find decent bookshops to browse at now too!!! Maybe a library visit is in order......

Ps... Love Harry potter!!! And traci Harding - the ancient future series AND trudi carnarvon - the black magician trilogy

I love reading!!!
Great thread!!

[peanutter]

I'm reading a book by ... mental blank - the woman who wrote Sex In The City ...? It's called "Trading Up" and I'm not enjoying it much.

Next on my list is a non fiction book about human trafficking ... I'm guessing something light will be in order after I finish that!!

[~~Snoogans~~]

I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy! - Suzanne Collins

Read the first 2 in a couple of days....made the last book last a week! Sooo didn't want it to end! Awesome read (even if targeted at teenagers! hmph)

[helle]

I attempted the girl with the Dragon tattoo and it was a bit of a snore fest and I lost interest... I'm reading The tomorrow series now (Tomorrow, when the war began...) which I'm quite enjoying (and it's extremely easy to read with little ones around!)

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

One Of Our Thursdays Is Missing by Jasper Fford. I love his Bookworld stuff, although this is very different to the first five in the series. Still good, just different.

[~~Snoogans~~]

I'm reading The tomorrow series now (Tomorrow, when the war began...) which I'm quite enjoying (and it's extremely easy to read with little ones around!)

Loved that series!

[OceanPrincess]

Oooh I loved the Tomorrow series too!

I've just bought The Hunger Games, can't wait to start that.

ATM, have gotten right into a book called "Pulse", by Acacia Green. It's the first book in a series (The Binuit-Namri chronicles) and it is actually written by one of our very own BB members. She's only published it on Kindle, but I got one for Christmas so I thought I'd be supportive and download it.

I am really enjoying it! Bit like Twilight meets Hitchhiker's Guide meets... what was the movie with the aliens made out of light? Can't remember. Anyway, it is pretty good so far!

If you've got a Kindle, give it a look. It's quite cheap too!

[jacklicky]

There are 3 more books called the "ellie cronicles' when you finished the tomorrow series....they are what happens when the first series ends and i enjoyed them just as much as the tomorrow series!

I got a Kobo for Xmas and have read so many books already I'm loving it.... cant even remember what I have been reading - Vampire diaries (not so good after the third book), hunger games (fantastic) and lots of James Patterson books. I think DH regrets buying it for me as he says my nose is always in it.....

[Kimbles01]

I bought the Tomorrow Series and Ellie Chronicles last year to relive reading them from my school days - I still love them just as much!

[Miss.September]

Another fan of the Tomorrow Series and Ellie Chronicles. The rights have been given for the second film to go ahead too, with production to start sometime this year.

Helle - was it a bad storyline for Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, or just slow? I've been thinking of reading it, but my attention span isn't great at the moment.

Anyone who has read My Sister's Keeper and seen the movie - I've heard the ending is different. I'm guessing the only way it could be different is to go the complete opposite of what happens to the sister who is a donor?

[helle]

PRM, it's just really slow, I think. I'll probably give it another chance once I've finished the tomorrow series. And now the Ellie cronicles! That's for that! Totally heart having a kindle. Easy book access!

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

I read Girl with the dragon tattoo but didn't really enjoy it - it was a book club book. Didn't feel the urge to read the other ones. It starts slow but does pick up pace... but it isn't a pleasant book, IYKWIM. The writing is fine, just the subject matter isn't nice.

DH is regretting my Kindle too. It is the most dangerous thing anyone could ever give me - I fancy reading a book, I can just download and read it! I hate to think what my credit card bill will look like this month. Especially as we had no TV for a few nights, so I just got a new book instead.
