I've finished A Cleansing of Souls - Stuart Ayris. Now going back to Private Games - James Patterson.

My 5yo nephew and I just finished The Shadows, and he loved it. Tonight we start Artemis Fowl.

I've finished reading by Charlotte Rogan yesterday. The Lifeboat is the debut novel of author Charlotte Rogan. It is a compelling, gripping and extremely thought-provoking tale. This novel tells the story of survival at its most basic level. It explores human nature and morality. It shows what happens to people while they are fighting to stay alive. The novel is a psychological thriller really. The book is very well-written. I really loved the author's writing style. I was completely engrossed in this novel from the very first page. The way in which Charlotte Rogan describes the moral decisions the characters have to make is quiet chilling.

Now I'm halfway through by Sophie Kinsella.

I've been reading The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America.

I've finished reading by Sophie Kinsella yesterday. The first half of the book was quite good but I got a bit bored with it during the second half. The book was well-written and it had a lot of extremely funny scenes in it. However, the plot was very predictable. I made a guess when I was at 5% of the way in about how this book would end and I figured it out exactly! The author is not very good at adding "twists and turns" into her plots, which is the main reason I haven't picked up a book by this author for ten years. I thought the author would have learned something in all that time but apparently not!

Now I'm a few chapters into by Christopher Moore.

I'm reading How to Get a Literary Agent in Two Murders or Less, which is an author's revenge fantasy, but a hilarious one. So far, it reminds me of Elizabeth Peters' very funny Die for Love.

Just started Connected Health: How mobile phones, cloud, and big data will reinvent healthcare.

is what I'm currently reading on my Kindle :)

The Outsiders is one of my favorite books. I've read it many times but I still manage to find something new on each read. I think it's one of those novels that just gets better with time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I've finished by Christopher Moore earlier today. The plot was quite thin but there were tons of funny scenes that made me giggle and snicker (it wasn't funny enough to make me laugh out loud). However I got bored with this book pretty quickly. The humour was just so repetitive that it started to get on my nerves after a while and the jokes just stopped being funny. I didn't like the second half of the book as it just got too far-fetched and stupid. I really struggled to finish it.

Now I'm a couple of chapters into by Diane Chamberlain.

I'm reading Rachel Abbott's Only the Innocent, and just got finished with David Baldacci's Zero Day. I put my 2 cents worth on that right here...

I'm actually reading a anthology of ghost stories by British authors. It's called House of Fear. Great stories very though provoking and I don't mean cheap twist but actually having to stop and infer and think critically. I was looking for a good Christmas story but only came up with Cozies I haven't liked Cozies since I was in my early twenties.

I've learned how to listen to audiobooks on my Kindle Fire - finally! I'm listening to , and reading , both from my local library!

I am currently reading: and then going to be reading the second book in that series: .

Then I have another whole list of stuff to read *G*

Im reading Clovenhoof and so far its quite entertaining.

Currently reading:

The Legend of Ellie Quin

though only for about an hour today as it is Chistmas Day! Everyone have a merry one :)

and I love it

I finished by Diane Chamberlain yesterday morning. The Good Father is a gripping, touching and thought-provoking read. The three main characters are Travis, Robin and Erin and each of the chapters in the novel is narrated by one of these characters. Some of the chapters do jump from the present to the past but I thought the story was still easy to follow. Some parts of the story were very unrealistic and far-fetched and the ending of the novel was a bit of a letdown as I thought it was very predictable. It really seemed like the author had rushed out an ending just to make a deadline. I gave this one 3 stars.

Now I'm about to start by Sanjay Gupta. I heard this novel is going to be turned into a TV series similar to ER. It sounded like a TV show I'm be interested in watching so I decided to read the book.

Finished Glass Houses - Rachel Caine (Paperback). Now reading Locked In - Kerry Wilkinson.

I'm reading THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL for book club in January.

The Hobbit and A Goodreads Gallimaufrey. Next will be Dragon Blade and probably a short story or novella.

I'm currently reading and .

...I grabbed it on the free list. The story is pretty good so far, but I'm having a little trouble with coarse language. It's just not doing anything for me.

I'm going to ask here, 'cos I have to ask somewhere or I will go crazy - how do you put the cover images/links into the posts?

I finished by Sanjay Gupta yesterday morning. I really enjoyed this novel. It is actually very similar to ER. At times during reading this book, I did feel like I was reading an ER script just with different characters! The plot was interesting, gripping, well-developed and well-written. The medical lingo was easy to understand.The characters were interesting, vivid and well-developed. My only gripe about this novel was that I would have liked to learn more about what happened to the characters at the end of the novel.

Now I'm a few chapters into by Liane Moriarty. Great book so far!

Use the "add book/author" link just above the comment box. In the popup box before you search for title or author, you can select at the bottom of the box whether you want a link or a cover image. Then search for the book either by title or author as usual.

Ahhh... that's just like being in the supermarket, looking for the cornflakes for five minutes, and then when you finally ask someone, discovering that it's right behind you...

Many thanks, Betsy.

I have finally finished Locked In - Kerry Wilkinson. Now about to embark on But Inside I'm Screaming - Elizabeth Flock (DTB).

I've finished reading by Liane Moriarty. I really loved this novel! The plot was very intriguing, compelling and well-written with an interesting and unique premise. I loved the author's writing style. The story was very funny and some parts were quite touching and made me want to cry. The characters were all well-developed, vivid and believable. I found it easy to relate to Alice and the other characters. I was unable to put this book down for long. I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next! I gave it 5 stars!

Yesterday I finished reading by Kate Alcott. I really enjoyed this novel. It was very hard to put it down. I loved all the historical details about the Titanic and its survivors. I liked this unique take on the Titanic disaster. Not many books about the Titanic sinking feature the aftermath of it and how survivors try to deal with what happened and move on. I gave it 4 stars!

I'm also about to finish by Janet Evanovich and make a start on by William Peter Blatty.

I just finished:

And here's my two cents;

I also finished Only the Innocent over the holidays:

And here's the review:

And I'm now about a third of the way into:

I'm reading NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children. I've only read the first chapter, which was about "how" to praise children. Don't emphasize "you're smart" but rather focus on their ability to work hard and stick with something that's difficult. The reasoning why is very interesting and supported by studies. I've read several books which also state the same thing. Emphasizing their work ethic produces more successful children in school and life. This book covers several different topics, so I'm interested to see where it goes.

I just finished

I'd quite like to say you can read what I thought and add the link, but don't know how to that.

I just finished Reign: Genesis tonight. It was really good. Now I guess I'll go back and trudge through 50 Shades, but I'm not really looking forward to it.

I'm about halfway through Ain't No Sanity Clause: A Twisted Christmas Anthology - yes, a Christmas-themed anthology, quick off the mark, that's me.

I did actually submit a short story to this book, but was unsuccessful. Irritatingly, it's a very good collection indeed.

Currently reading:

I just finished reading by William Peter Blatty. The Exorcist is an engrossing, gripping, disturbing and well-written supernatural tale. I really enjoyed this novel. I thought the author's writing style was excellent. I found it very hard to put this book down for long. I just had to know what happened next even though I've seen the movie half a dozen times! It didn't frighten me to death but it did scare me a good bit! Even though the book is over forty years old, except for a bit of seventies slang here and there, it really isn't dated at all. The Exorcist is one of the best horror novels that I've read in a long time. Even if you've already seen the movie a hundred times I'd recommend reading the novel as it's a lot better than the movie!
