do you have a pile of books waiting to be read?
mine are -
Swimsuit
Lying with strangers
Two for the dough
The Blue Nowhere
Creepers

are you a hoarder [like me] or do you just have one?

MmeDanversAMangeMonIpod · 18/07/2009 17:24

American Wife is on my Amazon list BQ, looks good

Flamesparrow · 18/07/2009 17:26

A whole load of vamp/werewolf/witch ones from Meridian

A big boy did it and ran away

janeite · 18/07/2009 17:26

Groan to the Piccoult bollocks - she's excrutiating isn't she? Off to google American Wife.

BeastQuest · 18/07/2009 17:26

am reading this atm and GOD its odd
and haev eey on Juior officers reading club
also one abotu trotsky still in hardback and one about the battle of the somme that argues that the Somme was a worhtwhile move and that subsequent acounts of it are subject to hindsight

MmeDanversAMangeMonIpod · 18/07/2009 17:26

Oh god life's too short for Picoult

BeastQuest · 18/07/2009 17:27

Have you all read the finest kind of english womanhood?
is the best all year for me

MmeDanversAMangeMonIpod · 18/07/2009 17:28

on my list too

(I have a very long list!)

janeite · 18/07/2009 17:30

Lucky you with Austen, Flame - which one?

Is it GOOD vampire stuff? If so, recs please (ie not crappy Twilight stuff). I have just ordered the Austen zombies thing.

Somme thing looks interesting. I read a devestating account of the Somme once that i read cover to cover in a space of six hours because I just couldn't put it down - normally, I am much, much slower with non-fic.

BeastQuest · 18/07/2009 17:30

it is SO SO good.
would be a great film

janeite · 18/07/2009 17:32

There was an extract from that Date thing in Marie Claire (god knows why I bought it as it's gone so downhill) but I wasn't impressed - far too many clebs who I've never heard of.

BeastQuest · 18/07/2009 17:32

Its very odd
then she goes to Uganda and investigates war crimes.
I am not rushing upstairs to read it.
all the reviews must be by her mates

BeastQuest · 18/07/2009 17:33

oh also the biog of Helen Gurley Brown on order at library here

janeite · 18/07/2009 17:34

She sounds like an airhead who wanted a book op tbh. Think I'll give it a miss!

BeastQuest · 18/07/2009 17:39

Y i wouldnt reccy.

OOOH I forgot TWO i got at tesco too

Michael Jackson biog by randy tiaboierlli( he did one i read before that was fabbola)
here it is
and .. ooh cant remember

MmeDanversAMangeMonIpod · 18/07/2009 18:03

god that Austen zombie thing looks weird

Flamesparrow · 18/07/2009 18:06

I'm considering doing Austen/Zombies for book group I have a thread going asking for recommendations

The vamp etc books - not sure yet, not started any of these. The last few from the pile have been more adult themed than twilight .

Janeite - why can't I find your life backwards book in any book shops?!?!?

aristocat · 18/07/2009 18:09

BecauseImWorthIt · 18/07/2009 18:24
