Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I'm going well so far. Keeping up with the HP re-read and been spending the last few days attempting to cut down my dipper books.

I have 41 in my dipper collection on my Kindle and currently 26/27 books on my currently-reading shelf on goodreads. Freaking ridiculous!!

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments cheek adding that last book by ah well.

you can download the HP 'prequel' (its like a super short scene with some well loved characters) from goodreads for free!

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I finished Invictus earlier.

Henley has a wonderful way with words and I'll be taking to the poetry thread to share some of my favourites tomorrow.

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I finished a dipper book last night.

It was pretty poor. I do not recommend it.

I finished a few shorts also

Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments Good on you Elle, I'm not a fan of Lovecraft

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Elle, I'm reading Dinner With a Vampire and I think you might like it, it's not the best, written a little 'immaturely' and there is something about the story that doesn't sit right with me but it's still enjoyable.

I have the DTB version so I can lend it to you next time I'm home (we HAVE to meet up next time! - it's my fault though, I know) or I can post it

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Hi Jud - Sorry for the late reply. It's been a busy time. I have found it in the library and will pick it up when I get a chance and yes, we definitely need to organise something!

Desley - I am still a little unsure. I'm still finding my way around him but so far I like him.


message 59: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I'll be back here a little later to actually update it!!


message 60: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Finished 15 books so far in 2013 - but a lot of them are shorts so my page count is just over 1100 now.

I am going to try and read some actual books in the next few weeks.

Fingers crossed

That sounded a bit naughty, Elle!!!


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments Glad your liking him. Think I should have read some shorts


message 63: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments LOL DD!! I never even thought about it that way.

Desley - I haven't tackled a longer one yet but I think I will stick to the shorts for now

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Updated another time.

I managed to complete one book I had put to the wayside and another 2 books. One was a short story (which was incredibly fucked up. holy crap) and another a short book (200~ pages)


message 67: by D.D. Chant (new)

D.D. Chant (DDChant) | 7663 comments I'm afraid to ask...

Well done anyway, Elle! ;-P


message 68: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments It was.... very screwed up. I almost feel bad ruining it because I feel like reading it blind is almost more shocking.

message 76: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Hahaha!

Just about to update with two shorts an a short-ish anthology. The anthology I had like 20% left and I only realised last night that it was all like things that weren't Kindle appropriate (puzzles and the sort) so bleh. Two shorts have been sitting on my kindle for a while now and I have a few more I wanna clear out too.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I'm away for a 30 minute break now, I bet I don't even get to 20%

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments ,....................


NEVER reading that book.


message 88: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments After an hour reading in the sunshine I finally reached 20%

I'm hoping the last 20% or so will be all appendices that I don't have to read... Wish I'd never started.


message 89: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments updated as i finally plowed through the 3rd hithhickers


message 90: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Ive reached the dizzying heights of 21%


message 91: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments You'll be finished in no time! is it at least a good read?


message 92: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I hope you are being sarcastic! !

I am enjoying it (thankfully) but its quite slow


message 93: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Ha, no time as in never ;)

And that's good at least. I have no idea what to start next..


message 94: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Have you read dracula yet?

Robin Hood is more like a collection of short stories of what Robin Hood and his Merry Men got up to, so if you fancy shorter stories you could go with that?


message 95: by Elle (last edited Jul 19, 2013 03:19AM) (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I read Dracula many years ago but I plan to re-read it this year. I also have the audiobook from the library.

Robin Hood is also on the list for this year.


I think I might read another series book next then move on to Robin Hood.
