Am enjoying v much.

I am reading Alison Hewitt Is Trapped.
It is a zombie novel and is basically a blog written by a woman who is trapped in her stockroom with workmates.
It is well worth a read if you are into your Zombie novels.

Just finished Room by Emma Donoghue (MN book of the month), really enjoyed it.

Next up is A Crowded Marriage by Catherine Alliott.

Joanne - I finished Never Let Me Go.

Such a feeling of dread and sorrow reading it, what a wonderful book. I don't think I'll be able to read another book again for a while, as its going to take me a while to stop thinking about this. Are you going to see the film?

just read It's the Little Things by Erica James - v pleasant chicklit.

just finished The Woman in White just started Case Histories I need light reading this month

might seem a little flippant compared to some of the earlier posts, but I've just read Silly Cow by Dawn French and it was a great light read for a change. Recommend it.

excellent plan, Ava before this shite government closes them all down

Thats the reason I'm reading Never Let Me Go - it was by the counter in the library when I was getting some Jake Cake books out for DS - highlighted as a why not try something different? book. I will repost Joanne once I've finished it.

Sebastian Faulks, 'A week in December' - about 3/4 of the way through. Very readable.

I am sccchhhkiiiiint at the moment and cannot afford my usual Amazon raids, so am going to join the library tomorrow and see what they've got on offer.

@taffetasplat - Never Let Me Go is fabulous. I loved it.

learobbo - yes I would recommend it. Its the kind of book where you get to the end, you need to go back through it, iykwim.

haribo - I'm halfway through CM at the moment. I enjoy the 44 Scotland St series, but as with that, there are some characters I find boring/annoying. In 44 Scotland St, its Big Lou ( and Matthew a bit ) and in CM its Berthea Snark. I am very tempted just to skip the chapters on these people, but thats cheating, hey?
Comfort and Joy I'm 3/4 through. Its a very lite read, isn't it? I wouldn't want to read it on its own as I suspect I'd be dissatisfied with it, but alongside another its working. I have snurked a good few times, I am sure India Knight must be a MNer....

taffeta have got corduroy mansions and comfort and joy on my bookshelf, would be interested to hear what you think of them.

taffetasplat - would you recommend Sisters? it is on my list to read.

Further to my comment above I have also recently read The Curious Incident of the dog in the night time by Mark Haddon.

Read Room a few weeks ago. Also read Sisters by Rosamund Lupton.

Now reading Corduroy Mansions by Alexander McCall Smith, Comfort and Joy by India Knight and about to start Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Am just starting Room for the MN bookclub.

I'm on 'Gael Garcia Bernal and the Latin American New Wave' by Jethro Soutar

Also re reading Stuart Maconie's Adventures on the High Teas - in search of Middle England.

Sugared is it Aron Ralston's autobiography that inspired the film. It is a flippin good read

Hi, I am new to mumsnet, finding it very useful :) ... anywho ... i am currently reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, i want to watch the film and thought i would much rather read the book first. Before lovely bones i read the twilight saga series and loved it. will be looking for something new to read soon, wouldn't mind another vampire series if anyone can recommend?

Ohforfoxsake - it really isn't as nice reading on the iphone as on an ipad or kindle... just so you know!

Thanks Justanother. I have downloaded it on my iPhone so will see how it goes. Like the basic 3G idea - that's all I would use it for anyway!

Thanks, JoanneNotJo. I am to download those now.

Ohforfoxsake, no, I don't miss the paperbacks. I thought I would, but the kindle is just perfect for me, so I am converted. I travel a lot for work, so I can now take whatever book I want with me rather than sticking to the thin ones. I am sure I'll still buy the occasional paper book, but not very often. Plus I love the "sample" that you can download before you buy. So often I have bought books and after the first chapter decided that I didn't want to read any more. It is the end of an era for me.

The 3G works well. I have used the internet via the kindle in a few hotels in Belgium and France in the last month for free. The browser is rubbish, but when you only want to check hotmail and mumsnet, it is good enough. And it is free!

127 Hours-Danny Boyle.

127 Hours-Don't think i have the stomach for the film, so far so good.

anyone read it/saw the film?

You can register a number of kindle devices and send the books to each of them. I have whatever I'm reading on my kindle, the ipad and also on my phone. Let's me carry on reading at the school gates ;-) As for sharing with other people, no, I don't think you can.
