Yes indeed, but I've got to buy it first. I hate being broke. |
All group together to buy the book for Grace.

Just finished Knights of Dark Renown, another excellent tale by the much missed David Gemmell.
Before that it was Slawter by Darren Shan - can't make up my mind about these (Lord Loss & Demon Thief being the first two) - they're ostensibly childrens stories but are quite dark, not a bad read but not enough depth for me!

about 100 pages in and so far...i can see why some people like it, i find the language a bit cluncky and overly fussy, the concept is good, just so far lacking the style i like.
Im reading it for a book club discussion..other wise id have put it down by now. |

I'm still reading A Storm of Swords! I can't remember the last time I took this long to finish a book. I either don't have the time to read or I'm too shattered to bother. Phew!

Just finished Double or Die by Charlie Higson, the third in the Young Bond series - nothing too dark or too deep but a fine read and I love the Eton backdrop - the other two weren't bad either

Am reading Dark Moon, by David Gemmell - a good page turner, with some interesting characters. I like Tarantio/Dace, and Karis is good fun!

Lizzy! I bought the entire 'Age of Misrule' trilogy this weekend. Told you I'd give them another go...!!
?9.99 in Waterstones for a one-volume trilogy - not half bad!

I bought the Earthsea Quartet...I've read the Wizard of Earthsea but when I went in to buy Cry of the Newborn at the bookstore, I saw this 4-in-1 volume and couldn't resist, so I bought both...I'm saving Cry of the Newborn for the weekend though, and going to (hopefully) read it all in one go.
