I'm still finishing off the 50 shades triology, haven't found it that enticing, maybe it's being sick that negates all the good bits  :-))
Our book club is reading 'all that i am' next and I'm not looking forward to it, i'm over war and love stories. I would really like to read Cutting for Stone and may look for it for holiday reading.

ATM I am reading a bit of fluff but next one is a Joanne Trollope Marying the Mistress. I have some on pre order but can't remember what the are. I think one is an Elizabeth George. Inspetor Linley.

I started A Deeper Darkness  by JT Ellison last night. DD has a book blog and she is offered quite a lot of books to review and this is one of them. She has just finished it and said it was an ok quick read. It can't be worse than Broken Vessels which was garbage. Poor plot, lousy characterisation, setting was ok.

I find a lot of the books on the free http://www.ereaderiq.com/ site very, very frustrating.  Many seem to be self published and have not been proof read or edited and are simply bewildering to read because the story simply doesn't flow or read correctly and the grammar, if there is any, can be very inventive.  That's probably why they are free, of course!

Cookie, I would be interested in the link for your DD blog, we are always on the look out for books that have been reviewed.

I'm reading 50 shades ATM. Finding it a bit annoying. Haven't got to any good bits yet.

I'm not sure there are any good bits Michelle!

I've read half of the first book, but I'm struggling with it.  I keep looking at it thinking I should read some more maybe it will get better.  My SIL wants to borrow the 2nd & 3rd book from me once I've read them...she might be waiting awhile  :)

All I've been reading is a lot of blushing and falling over her own feet. Not the hot stuff I was expecting.

I've got to read a Donna Leon book for book club this month. I have read one of hers and found it a bit slow so I will be interested to see what this one is like.

Think the title is "The Cats Table", quite liking it to date.

Mcmich if you keep reading there will be lefty of hot stuff but we all found it a very average book and not worth the hype. If you can manage to get through the first book I do think the second and third are a little better but unless you have nothing to read and have been given the books for free I wouldn't recommend reading them.

I'm just about to start All that I am (I think thats the title) and then cutting for stone.

Have just finished reading The Innocent by David Baldacci.  First book of his I have read and quite enjoyed it although there are quite a few casualties in the story.  An action-packed thriller. Now back to some of the books I have stored on my Kindle
