Night Waking - Sarah Moss

Beamur · 15/05/2012 20:55

Persuasion by Jane Austen.
Having a re-read of some classics as they are so cheap for the Kindle.

Dillie · 15/05/2012 20:54

Working my way through the Discworld novels. Currently on the Rincewind series. Colour of magic was hard going, but The Light Fantastic is a much better read :)

finished The Finkler Question about a week ago. VV good, very funny at first and then progressively darker.

calamity, JC should definitely do a Tudor novel.

IamtheSnorkMaiden · 15/05/2012 20:45

I finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins last night, I'm halfway through How To Be A Woman by Caitlin Moran and today I just started reading The Time Traveller's Guide To Medieval England by Ian Mortimer.

Wolf Hall. I am very behind, I know. In not a particularly great defence, I decided to treat myself to the entire set of JC's Rutshire Chronicles when my daughter was born 9 months ago, and its taken me this long to have the attention span for something slightly more worthy. So far its alright. RCB would improve things.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard - totally easy fluffy read

DiscoDaisy · 15/05/2012 12:51

I'm just about to finish The Heretic's Treasure by Scott Mariani. It's number 4 in a series of books by him. I'm not too sure what I'm going to read yet but The Misremembered Man is looking favourite at the moment.
I have The House By The Sea on my Kindle which looks good but I'm trying to save that for when I go on holiday next month!

Just finished reading Slammed by Colleen Hoover and it was absolutely brilliant. Starts off a bit mushy but it kind of sets the story off and by the end of it I laughed and cried. I'm going to start on the second one now Point of Retreat.

bunnybing · 15/05/2012 12:29

Currently reading My Dear, i have to tell you by Lousia Young. Rather a clunky title but good so far - is about WW1.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/05/2012 17:01

Just finished, 'Dark Matter' by Michelle Paver after a rec on MN. Didn't think an awful lot of it though. I haven't got anything to read now but dp has ordered me, 'All Quiet On The Western Front' and, 'Slaughterhouse Five' from the library (have given up on buying fiction,other than Stephen King or from charity shops because most of it is so awful).

PercyFilth · 12/05/2012 16:56

The Wind Through The Keyhole , the new Stephen King 'Dark Tower' story. I do love Oy! :)

jetstar · 12/05/2012 16:51

Just finished Girl Reading which I borrowed from the library and I enjoyed, despite the fact that I'm not especially a fan of short stories. Some of the suggestions on this thread sound interesting and have given me ideas of what to read next so thanks Smile

minsmum · 12/05/2012 16:24

The Passage by Justin Cronin. quite enjoying it so far

underthevalley · 12/05/2012 12:15

Obedience by Jacqueline Yallop
I'm sure my nuns were not like that.

five I love Absolution.

NoraHelmer · 12/05/2012 08:48

Just started Untold Story by Monica Ali.

pointythings · 11/05/2012 20:40

Sara Paretsky - Body Work. I'm gradually reading my way through all the V.I. Warshawski books, she's such a beautifully drawn character.

Have some vampire porn paranormal romance lined up next. Eclectic tastes, that's me.

DontHaveAtv · 11/05/2012 18:40

Just finished Fifty Shades of Grey to see what all the fuss was about and it wasn't great.
I'm now reading Divergent.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/05/2012 17:32

Just finished the second 'Hunger Games' - it was rubbish. Don't think I'll bother with the third.

PotteringAlong · 11/05/2012 13:40

metro 2033 as recommended off another thread - really enjoying it.

jammietart · 11/05/2012 13:35

Half Blood Blues By Esi Edugyan

Thought I'd try and read all of the Orange Prize shortlist.

State of Wonder by Ann Patchett next.

ProfCoxWouldGetIt · 11/05/2012 08:27

Reading some Robert Rankin tosh - I really don't like his books, but I have read every other book in the house.

I really need to sort out my amazon account so I can use my kindle.

NoraHelmer · 11/05/2012 07:54

How to be a woman by Caitlin Moran. I like it so far

juneybean · 10/05/2012 22:30

Into The Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes, I cannot put it down!

suzikettles · 10/05/2012 21:02

I've just finished A Dance With Dragons - started with Game of Thrones when the tv series first came out in the UK and I've been working my way through ever since. I'm at a bit of a loss now, since it'll probably take George RR Martin another 5 years to get book 6 out.

Today I got John Irving's new book, In One Person, delivered to my Kindle. I didn't really get on with his last one (was gutted because he's my all time favourite writer) so I'm less excited than I'd normally be, but hopefully this will be a good one.
