I'm on Shamim Sarif's The World Unseen still (very good, but slow going...) before tackling A Land of Two Halves by Joe Bennett for the Leeds Book Group.  Then it's Marsha Mehran's Pomegranate Soup for Shona, and Two Caravans for Sarita. Once I've then read The Bookseller of Kabul (Asne Seierstat) for another on-line discussion group I'm going to read some chick lit or a blood and guts thriller...

wow some serious stuff there...

are you studying ancient britain? or just really interested?

If I say both, will that confuse you?    Actually, I am reading as much material as I can about the pre-Christian civilisation of the British Isles, as I am thinking of converting to a Brythonic (or, maybe, Irish) tradition from my current heathen practice.  It requires a lot of thought and some serious study to ensure I am not misled by the personal interpretations of charlatans.   So, I cross-check as much material as I can with archaeological and historical evidence. 

So, in a way, I am interested and I am studying, too. 

Finished Getting rid of Matthew (its now on mobile library if anyone wants to borrow it) now going to start "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult.

I finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter last night - I found the second half more compelling than the first and flew through it.  Great.

Then I started Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie which is for my reading group - finding it easier to read than I thought I would.

I am now reading The Crush by Sandra Brown, seems ok so far.

The Last Testament by Sam Bourne - about 100 pages in and I'm really having to concentrate to keep up with all the Arab-Israeli politics!

I am currently reading Shopaholic and Baby which is just as good as the rest in the series. Haven't sorted out my TBR list yet as still have loads on bookshelves to sort out.

Im reading merseyside duet by Anne Baker not sure if i like it or not :)

I'm half way through Broken Angels....note to self...do not eat whilst reading Richard Montanari's books!!

why are they gruesome?

why are they gruesome?

 

certain parts can be quite detailed.  Great books not advisable when eating thats all.

Finished HP7 last night and needed a complete change (though most things would be!) so now reading the latest Laurie Graham, "The Importance of Being Kennedy".  I've loved all her books and this looks like being no exception.

Finished HP and the Deathly Hallows, now started on The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen which Rainbow56 lent me :)

Just fnished The Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan. Really really enjoyed it, don't know why it stayed on my TBR for so long
Very touching story of 4 ladies who immigrated to the US from China, about their daughters and the cultural changes between the two generations.

Just finished Relentless by Simon Kernick and am now reading Be Mine by Laura Kasischke.....
