Between the Lines discussion

Last night I started Adam & Eve, the latest from Sena Jeter Naslund.

I'm reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margret Atwood. It's for my MA course and I had never heard of it before tbh. I really can't decide whether I like it or not; I think I find it interesting but not exactly enjoyable to read if anyone understands what I mean.

Anyone else read it?

I picked up The Woods by Haran Coben and it is a real page turner. I'm really enjoying it.

I have just finished reading Skulduggery Pleasant: Mortal Coil - Derek Landy.

Last night I decided to read Housewife In Trouble - Alison Penton Harper.

Kristian, I've read all of the Agatha Christie books some years ago, and they remain favorites with me. I just love them!

Finished Adam & Eve and loved it! I, also, finished the latest Agatha Raisin mystery by M.C. Beaton, Busy Body and enjoyed the continuing story of this series. I'm now reading The Hollow, first in a teen series, but it isn't grabbing me much yet.

Hi Kristin, Well I think everyone should read at least on Agatha Christie even if you are not a big fan of mysteries. My personal favorite is
Murder on the Orient Express

I am reading The Gargoyle. The author is very good at getting me into the characters and the plot. Almost too much because I started feeling depressed reading the book. Then around the 4th chapter, there is a twist. Not going into too much detail. It becomes kind of weird story and I can't figure out for the life of me where this story is going to lead. I'm so addicted. I can't stop thinking about this book. I want to read more so I can find out where the book is taking me. I would recommend this book so far. Not finished yet so the book could make a terrible twist and I may not like it. haha... I shall see

I am still reading When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon K. Penman.

I started reading The Notebook because it is one of my top 3 favorite movies, and I have to say, I didn't expect the book to be so completely different from the movie interpretation. I'm not sure yet which I like more.

That is one of the reasons why I don't always watch the movie or read the book. If I saw the movie and I leave feeling like this could have been a lot better, then I read the book. If I read the book and like and think there is no way someone could do a movie this good, I don't see the movie. hahaha

I hate reading a book after I saw the movie, but when I first saw The Notebook, I wasn't into reading and have NOT heard that it was a novel. If I didn't love the movie so much, I don't know if I'd be reading the book. :)

I am reading Angelology by Danielle Trussoni

I'm really enjoying it so far.

Cathy

Dracula 'Tis the season, right?

All Clear by Connie Willis

This book is the second part to Blackout, which came out last February. I have been excitedly awaiting its publication!

I stop read those books "Small Island" by Andrea Levy, and "Women of the Silk" byGail Tsukiyama . May be latter in the future I'll be read those books.
Now i start read book" The Reading Group" by Elizabeth Noble.

Just received "Chronicles of a London Girl" by Lily Clark (Goodreads author)and am through the first 36 pages of her journal during The Blitz. Very interesting so far. Have set "Kristin Lavransdatter" aside for the moment as I have downloaded "The Tiger A True Story" and "The Room" and several friends want me to read them like yesterday so we can have a discussion.

Finished Housewife In Trouble - Alison Penton Harper. Will now read The Jester - James Patterson & Andrew Gross.

I read the Jester years ago. Great book. It is one of the few books I got my husband to read and he LOVED it. He still talks about it to this day. Very good read.

Yeah, it wasn't my favorite, but it was my husbands. I liked it but it was too much history driven. I like historical fiction but it's not my favorite. It is good though. Hang in there :) I just finished Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. It's a chic lit but I loved it! It was funny. I kept laughing out loud and I also had moments when I was yelling at the main character. hahah.. Nice wave of emotions. :)

Taking a break from The Jester - James Patterson & Andrew Gross. Going to try The Book of Lies - Brad Meltzer.

Really can't get head round and I don't usually do Historical Fiction (not my favourite genre lol)

I am currently reading Invisible Man and listening to The Corrections as an audiobook.

Not sure I am in mood for The Book of Lies - Brad Meltzer, but am reading Broken - Karin Slaughter

Im reading Run for your Life by James Patterson. I really wanted to continue with my series written by Emily Giffin but the library doesn't have them in yet :)

I loved Run for Your Life and can't wait til the next 1 comes out lol

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "I loved Run for Your Life and can't wait til the next 1 comes out lol"

That's good to hear. I love James Patterson and read all the Alex Cross books and several others. I'm just in the mood to finish the Something Borrowed series. :( but oh well, I will wait.

Where have you looked? How old is the next book and what is it called, so I can look in my local charity shops (if you live in UK, I can send it to you if I see a copy) x

Aw, your too kind! I live in the US. It's an older series. Her newest one is out but I still need to read her other three. I could pick it up I'm sure at the half price bookstore, but I usually wait until after I read a book to buy it. Like the book Gargoyle, I read from the library but I am going to buy it because it was so good. Something I will read again. The Something Borrowed books are good, but I wont read them again. They are funny and cute and a fast read. :)

Can you not look in the other libraries around or do they do Interstate swapping?

I just figured out swapping on goodreads. I'm about to order the books from someone on goodreads :)

This state is impossible. There is only one library for the city I live in. I live closer to the one in gilbert, but I can't use their library. I have to go all the way to my library which is far. I don't know if they do Interstate swapping. I never heard of that.

I'm still busy with "La Catedral del Mar", but I'm nearly finished. It's a great story.
I'm also reading "A Prayer for Owen MEany", which makes me laugh a lot!

Started The Handmaid's Tale.

I'm reading Life of Pi.

Hello all! I'm reading Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void currently and I just finished rereading Invisible Monsters. I've always loved invisible monster for the crazy jumps in sequence and the surprise ending. :)

I just started reading Mr. Murder. I had to give up on love the one you're with by emily giffin because I needed a change in writing. Love her books, just need a break from her fun easy reads.

Just finished Dracula.
Just started Never Let Me Go.

I finished The Woods by Harlan Coben which was a very good quick page turner and In the Shadow of Gotham by Stefanie Pintoff which was a terrific historical mystery set in the early 1900s in NYC.

Now reading Wife of the Gods: A Novel and listening to The Perfect Murder.

I'm reading

I am reading and almost finished with Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls for my neighborhood book club.

Just finished Never Let Me Go. Really good, just don't read the movie reviews before the book.
Just started To Kill a Mockingbird.

The Shadow of the Wind. Hating it.

*Gasp* Hating it? That's unfortunate. It is definitely one of my favorites.

I am just starting A Northern Light. Just finished The Dead Travel Fast which is an interesting spin on a Dracula-type story. It is by the author of the Lady Julia Grey series.

Yesterday I start read book "Zwei halbe Leben" by Rebecca Stephan. This book is translated from German Language to Slovakian language.

Reading It's not as good as I heard it should be.

I am reading, The Scar by China Miéville

Yesterday I finished read book "Zwei halbe Leben" by Rebecca Stephan, this book was translated from German language to Slovakian language.
And today I start read a book "Pasion india" by Javier Moro. This book is transleted from Spanish language to Slovakian language.

I'm currently reading the first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin: A Game of Thrones I'm totally enjoying this read and I'm looking forward to the next parts in this series. :)
