The Woman Who Died A Lot by Jasper Fforde. Nearly finished so then I have Plum Spooky to squeeze in before it has to go back to the Library.

 

[Tiffany]

Sky Dragons by Anne & Todd McCaffrey, written before Anne died & it was at the publishers when we very sadly lost her.
It's good, Ive nearly finished it, but I think the writing is mainly Todd, he has a different slant on Pern to his late Mum.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

The Woman Who Died A Lot by Jasper Fforde.

Have ordered that on Amazon. Can'twaitcan'twaitcan'twait!

Gave a fair shot at reading Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead. It's about a wedding between two wealthy families, all their drama and hang-ups. It's boring, the writing is poor and none of the characters are likeable.

If you like Plum Spooky, once you read the rest of this particular series I recommend moving onto the "Wicked ___" series by Evanovich which mixes characters from the "Plum" series with a new Stephanie-like heroine and setting.

Ooooh I'll look out for that, thanks!

I really liked the two books that i've read from them, sadly there aren't any more that have been translated into Estonian.

I'm going to continue reading the True blood series by Charlaine Harris. I have read the first three books and the fourth one is unfinished.

I've recently read a few good books, including Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess by Phil and Kaja Foglio (a novelisation of the second main story arc of the Girl Genius webcomic) and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (think The Jungle Book meets The Nightmare Before Christmas).

 

[Tonyblack]

I'm reading The Graveyard Book as well.

Read it last month on my hols

1Q84 is a very good book by Haruki Murakami. However as you read it, it gets more and more disturbing. It's certainly the most unusual book I've read in a long time. Basically it's about a female assassin and a writer and a young woman who fled from a cult in Japan set in a world that's not quite the world we, or they recognise.
Murakami is an excellent writer, one of the sort of people who could write about someone preparing a cup of tea and make it fascinating. When creating such an imaginative story as this then you really get drawn in.

Haven't had much luck with book choices lately. The last 3 I've tried have not held my attention, including an A. Lee Martinez one. I usually really enjoy his books but Emperor Mollusk and the Sinister Brain just didn't do it for me.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman.......Well re-reading it actually.....for the 3rd time. I think that after TP books, its my favourite book. 600 pages of brilliance.

I must get around to reading that again soon.

 

[Catch-up]

Me too! I'm having a hard time remembering it.

I'm actually sad enough to have a T shirt with the very long ' I Believe' speech from the book on it.

The words on the T shirt are pretty small, so if people want to read it they have to get quite close........it's the only way I can get anyone to look at my body nowadays

 

[Catch-up]

That's a great shirt! I might have to put that on my xmas list.
