What Are We Reading In August?

[Kaz]

Oh wow, seems it is a popular choice then!! Looking forward to reading it now...........

[Lozzles]

I read it a while ago. A good read, but a little bit too close to home for me. Both moving and humorous.

[Kaz]

((((Loz)))) I can imagine xx

Half way through Breaking the Silence by Diane Chamberlain....I was holed up in the conservatory much of yesterday as I couldn't put it down

[debih]

I've just started S J Watson's Second Life.

I loved Before I go to sleep so I'm hoping this is just as good.

[Diflower]

Ooh yes Debih, look forward to hearing what you think of it

I'm reading The Story of Us by Dani Atkins - not a bundle of laughs so far, it started with 3 friends out for one of them's hen night then a terrible car crash...hope it cheers up a bit but judging by the prologue it might not

[debih]

I finished Second Life last night. I stayed awake until silly o'clock to read it as I got quite hooked on it.

I didn't enjoy it as much as Before I go to sleep but it was good. I did guess some things quite early on but not others. I was a little disappointed with the ending though - but perhaps that was just me. Will be interested to hear what others who might read it think.

I was due to start Elizabeth is Missing today but when I woke up the new Philippa Gregory, Taming the Queen, has been delivered to my Kindle so I'll be reading that instead. I could take Elizabeth is Missing on holiday with me but it is due back at the library by the 19th (whilst we are away) so I thought I would just take it back and reorder it for a later date. I can then just take my Kindle and ipad with me for book reading - I do have well over 100 books to read on it so I don't think I will be spoilt for choice. And I can always buy more!!!!

[Kaz]

I've read The Story of Us - it has a (kind of) happy ending

[Diflower]

Well I finished it - a bit tedious and long-winded, and I'd guessed most of it quite early on, but it's been nice and undemanding

I have a couple of (hopefully) better ones waiting now

[Kaz]

It wasn't my fave book either, but as you say undemanding

I've got lots of books I'm looking forward to reading stacked up on my kindle now for Corfu, and am resisting reading any of them before that
