That's it really. What are you ready at the moment and are you enjoying it?

I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 and loving it.

Catching up on my Book Vipers group reads, so just finished The Color Purple today and have just started The Silver Linings Playbook!

You will love them Galaxymum, well I think so anyway Smile, brilliant stories, keep an eye out for Kingdom of Shadows, Midnight is a lonely Place and House of Echoes.

juneybean, did you like The Colour Purple, it's a long time since I read it, must root it out again.

juneybean · 15/06/2013 22:35

I thoroughly enjoyed it, it felt so real to me I was a bit shocked it was "fiction" as she really breathed life into the characters.

scissy · 15/06/2013 22:36

The Last King of Scotland. Surprisingly readable and gripping!

Shakey1500 · 15/06/2013 22:38

I'm re-reading Kane and Abel as bought today for 49p in the charity shop. I may have also accidentally ordered the DVD from Amazon...Grin

Ellenora5 · 15/06/2013 22:45

Ye, it's a great story, it didn't make a bad movie either.

Must read that scissy, for some reason I thought it would have been hard going, so glad you said that.

Shakey1500, I haven't read that in years either, was it Geoffrey Archer that wrote it? can't remember now.

Shakey1500 · 15/06/2013 22:47

Yes, Jeffery Archer. I read another of his, can't remember which one ,and it was shockingly bad!

The Magpies by Mark Edwards
Not enjoying, feels very amateurish and regret starting it! Will persevere, amazon reviews pretty good and it was recommended on here.

Meet me at the cupcakes cafe Blush

I've just finished to very gory thrillers (two little girls in blue and the newest Susan hill) and I wanted something light and frothy!

DuchessofMalfi · 16/06/2013 07:26

I'm currently reading Pear Shaped by Stella Newman. Chick lit but very amusing so far. One of the better written books from this genre. I'm reading some lightweight stuff before I tackle We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver for our Book Vipers Group over on Goodreads.

ForeverProcrastinating · 16/06/2013 14:20

I'm totally gripped by 'Apple Tree Yard' by Louise Doughty, taut psychological thriller and really well written. Really want to find another similar book as I'm nearly finished - any recommendations?

JiltedJohnsJulie · 17/06/2013 14:05

Reading another Montalbano book, The Scent of the Night by Andrae Camilleri. Just love Montalbano Smile

EliotNess · 05/07/2013 18:37

I think Maragaret FOrster has nothing to say any more - her last one was stupid too

itried · 05/07/2013 18:43

Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel with Two Brothers by Ben Elton lined up

Galaxymum · 05/07/2013 18:55

I feel a little bereft having finished my Barbara Erskine books as they were so absorbing. Just started All That I am by Anna Funder which has great reviews but hasn't grabbed me yet. I'm hanging in there.

k2togm1 · 05/07/2013 18:59

Mn.
Sorry if this has been said beforeSmile

EliotNess · 05/07/2013 20:16

Apple tree yard night fill your post erskine gap

NotYoMomma · 06/07/2013 10:23

the knife of never letting go by Patrick Ness

bunnybing · 06/07/2013 10:39

Currently reading Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver

Before that The Uninvited by Liz Jensen - that was fab, well worth a read.

EliotNess · 06/07/2013 12:01

I got bored with the bloody butterflies

Kasterborous · 06/07/2013 14:01

Harvest of Time. It's a Doctor Who one, I've been looking forwards to reading it and have finally started it.

Kasterborous · 06/07/2013 14:03

I enjoyed The Knife of Never Letting Go NotYoMomma still got to read the next two in the series.

NotYoMomma · 06/07/2013 15:48
