Ooo new thread. Me first, me first! ;)

I'm currently reading The Landing by Susan Johnson

I know it was due for review in September, but better late than never.

Haha! Veronica...you did it! lol

I have just started Broken Skin by Stuart MacBride - looking good so far:)

I'm getting into The Soldier's Curse by Meg Keneally and really enjoying it :))

That's good to hear Jools:) I bought it last week and hoped it would be good:)

It's going to be a good series I think Brenda, a cross between Deborah Challinor and Bryce Courtney with, of course, a good dose of Thomas Keneally ;D

Oooh that sounds interesting!

Brenda wrote: "Oooh that sounds interesting!"

Yes! Exactly my cup of tea ;D Doin' the happy dance ��

Sounds like mine too:)

PS - see you tomorrow :D

I love Paul Torday's books: I am treating myself to another More Than You Can Say

I just started The Mask of Dimitrios, a spy thriller published in 1939.

I am really enjoying All the Light We Cannot See

So glad you're liking it Phrynne...I thought it was an amazing book:)

I like the alternate POVs. The author handles it really well.

Yes he does...it's a beautifully written piece of work:)

Yesterday I read Seashore and I also just finished Xena Warrior Princess: The Empty Throne, which I have 3 stars.

I am still reading Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda - I am really enjoying it.

An Indian woman gives up her child to an orphanage and she is adopted by an American couple - he is Indian so it made sense to have a child from India. Her adopted mother spends all her time trying to deny her daughter her heritage and the girls real mother spends all her time thinking of her 'secret daughter' Am half way through and, as I said, really enjoying it.

I'm reading the Law of the Evermen by James Maxwell. It's a battle soaked Epic Fantasy and the 4th in a series. I've loved his Evermen Saga, I've read all of them in about a fortnight.

I'm looking forward to getting to my copy Amir:) Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

I searched and searched for this one! The Lore of the Evermen by James Maxwell

Amazing how a misspelling makes a difference...lol

Mike, to link your books, click on "add book/author' in the top right corner of your comment box and go from there :)

Ah thanks for the tip Brenda, I wondered how everyone was doing that lol. And sorry for the misspelling. I'll assume it was because I was tired (it probably wasn't lol)

You can always pretend it was auto correct ;)

Yeah that's it. Auto Correct lol.

Haha!

Sounds like a good series too Mike.

Phrynne wrote: "Sounds like a good series too Mike."

It is Phrynne. I had never heard of the author before stumbling across him on Amazon. Best Epic Fantasy series I've come across in years.

The first in the series is Enchantress

Wow! Over 600 pages! Are they all that sort of length Mike?

I finished Pride and Prejudice today. I gave it three stars. I was not as taken with it as I was with Mansfield Park. I am aware this puts me in a fairly rare position amongst most readers! Lol.

I am now reading Promise of the Wolves . I have to get it back to my aunt!

I also read these over the last few days:
Double Her Destiny (4 stars)
The Empty Throne (3 stars)
and
Seashore (3 stars)

Reading Dangerous to Know: Natalie King, Forensic Psychiatrist the second book in the Natalie King Forensic Psychiatrist series, by Anne Buist, definitely as good as the first, if not better....
out next week

Currently reading Someday, Someday, Maybe
Enjoying what I have read so far.

Hope you enjoy Amir - a popular read by those who've already read it :)

Good book Allan

The Name of the Rose by recently dead Italian author Umberto Eco. Vale.

Last night I read Sweet submission by Kimber White. I gave it three stars. It is a huge improvement on the first one. Not as many incorrect phrases, however still a couple of cringeworthy moments, which is why I didn't rate it higher. In this installment, Neve meets the rest of the pack.

This morning I finished Rising Heat. The author is finally hitting her stride in this one. It's really good. The pack have taken Neve back to their home territory for protection, but the real danger comes from within the pack this time. This installment is really suspenseful and the characters are starting to become well rounded. 4 stars this time.

The Stone Key (American Edition) by Isobelle Carmody. I could only find the American edition, which is the second half of the Australian edition. I finished Wavesong last night, which is the first half of the Australian edition of The Stone Key (Yeah, it's confusing. Americans are apparently incapable of handling a 1000 page book...). I'm re-reading the series because The Red Queen came out at the end of last year and I can't remember what happens because I read the rest of the series so long ago.

I just began a very new fantasy novel called Snakewood by debut author Adrian Selby.

I just finished Pack Wars: Claimed by the Pack - Part Four. Gosh, this is really good! Neve is being held hostage by Asher and his pack down in Kentucky and she must make a tough decision if she is to stay alive. Oh and did I mention that I LOVE a good cliffhanger? Well, DAMN. GOOD. CLIFFHANGER! Can't wait to read the next one! 4 stars.

about halfway through The Beekeeper's Secret, very topical!

I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of Shards of Honour - I think the interlibrary borrowing scheme in SA has expanded to include a few more libraries. A great book, a really delicate approach to exposition so every new fact is naturally provided instead of forcibly inserted (also reading Pandora's Star, which is a huge difference in approach even though they're both space operas, and I'm loving both of them).

Super eager to read the rest of the series.

Great that the library inter borrowing has expanded to suit more needs Alexander:)

How could you like somebody who's worse than kidnappers?

Shards of Honour is one of my favourite books Alexander! It's a great one to re-read when you need cheering up! The whole series is great but I loved the early ones best :)

So I finished Choosing an Alpha yesterday afternoon and thus finished the Claimed By The Pack series.
