finally finished the almost moon, i really didn't like that book, it made no sense wasn't a nice subject matter and the main character wasn't particularly likeable. its been donated to the shelf down my drs surgery.

Sorry to hear that. If you remember I picked up a copy in the charity shop then I only read bad reviews so I've donated it back life's to short to read bad books.

with me it was a case of ive started so ill finish, id also read the reviews on good reads after i got it but because i thought the lovely bones was so well written, i thought id give it a chance. You made the right decision not bothering to start it.

First big test of not buying books today. Found out my favourite author's (Robin Hobb) new book is coming out at the end of October. Instead of clicking the pre-order a copy button on Amazon, I instead added it to my wish list. So I will drop lots of hints to friends and family for a birthday or Christmas present!

I loved Gone Girl have to admit it's the only book I've really gotten into for a long time. I have finally gotten into my library account online and ordered some books I want to read plus the new Hairy dieters which I nearly ordered in work, it looks good but if I get it from the library I can photocopy the recipes I want.

Finished "Gone girl" today. I'm not sure what I thought of the ending - tho I did like how many twists and turns the story had and it kept me guessing all the way thru.

I've started "Perfect Match" by Jodi Picoult now - one from the tbr pile at last!

mrs-moneypenny

have to agree with you the ending kind of let the book down, all the way through it was such a rollercoaster then the end seemed like the author had either run out of time or ideas.

secret life of bees is getting interesting

Finished Lee Child's Die trying and now onto Tripwire. Not had a great reading week as both me and DS2 have been ill so lots of looking after, lack of sleep and just being too tired to read.

Still reading Dark places hoping to finish it today as I have an hour free this morning and half hour for lunch. I've also sold the dreaded true blood books. I was glad to see the back of them.
