What Are You Reading? - #2

i'm being forced to read the most boring book in the world by skool for english lol.

 

I borrowed from the library Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination by Helen Fielding (I hope it'll be as funny as the Bridget Jones ones) and The Keyhole (Sleuteloog) by Hella S. Haasse.

 

I'm reading 'Lies of Silence' by Brian Moore for school (English). I really like it.

 

I recently finished 'A Faint Cold Fear' and was well impressed, so far with the Grant County series I've really enjoyed every book.

After that I read 'Turn Of The Screw'. When I received this it was quite surprised at how short it was, by short I mean about 40 pages. It was okay, I don't really want spoil it if anyone whishes to read it, but I wasn't all that impressed, but being such a short book it wasn't a waste of time to read. :lol:

Next I'm hoping to get my hands on 'Bright Lights, Big City' by Jay McInerney (another book that was mentioned in a CSI episode :lol, after that I'll start on the next Grant County book 'Indelible', I believe this one has flashbacks, so it will be interesting to read and according to reviews I've read the flashback is done pretty well. I'll see how I get on with it.

 

I just finished THE MERMAID CHAIR by Sue Monk Kidd
the movie was on Lifetime TV (starring Alex Carter,aka, DET.VARTANN from CSI LV) and I watched so I had to get the book...
I liked the book better
I have a CSI book to finish, Binding Ties
and some Kathy Reichs books to start
So many books, so little time

Happy Reading everyone

 

I'm reading "The Ring - Spiral" by Koji Suzuki and "Belladonna" by Karin Slaughter Not sure if the second is also called Belladonna in english.
Read those often. I need new books to read. It's getting boring. *lol*

 

I'm currently reading the novelisation of the movie X-Men: The Last Stand. I loved the movie, but the book is better.

 

I'm reading Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks and am loving it, seem to be into wartime epics at the moment for some unknown reason.

 

I just started The Manchurian Candidate, I'm mid-way through chapter two and it's pretty good.

 

I'm reading 'The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennos' by Maggie O'Farrell.

 

I just finished "A long way down" by Nick Hornby. It´s about four completely different suicide-candidates who encourage each other to survive.
I like Hornbys way of writing. So I also liked the book very much.

 

Yesterday I finished reading "Angels and demons" by Dan Brown. It's very good if you're prepared to read 100 pages of bored explanations at the beginning. It's about The Pope and his election and some things I don't know how to explain in English

Today I started "Deception Point" by Dan Brown too. Wow the name in spanish is so different :lol: I'm still in page one so I can't say anything

 

I've just finished 'Coastliners' by Joanne harris.

It's along the lines of 'Chocolat's Small town life idea, but it's the sea instead of food this time.

Basically Mado,the lead charachter, returns home to the small town of Les Salants, Brittany, after 15 years when her mother dies. She returns to see her father Grosjean, whom she has had a stormy relationship with in the past.

The town has spent years rueing the success of their neighbours La Houssinière and put it down to the tides, which washes luck in with it.

Mado, with the help of a foreigner called Rouget tries to turn the towns fortunes around ,hoping it will help her get closer to Grosjean.

There the usual Harris trademarks of intrigue, secrets, and feuds.

It's not as warm as 'Chocolat' but a good yarn, and will keep you interested.

 

almost finished reading the Handmaid's Tale by Maragaret Atwood...kinda strange but good nonetheless

 

The Devil in the White City.
