Might be off topic - reading slump

A number of my coworkers are reading and raving about Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy.

Dawne

I've been checking a blog on his home page. Love most of his writings.

Hi Rick, There is a time I turn back to the classics - just not right now. I really want a "fresh voice" right now.

Cheryl

That coworkers is sort of interesting lol

"lucretia borgia" wrote

Funny looking word without the hyphen, isn't it???? Dawne, thinking she just might leave the word that way and enjoy the ambiguity

I wondered if you were deliberately choosing to leave the - out lol

I've never spelled coworker with a hyphen and spell check seems to think it's right that way. Maybe it's a British/American thing???

Lucille

I'll look for that

Funny and I've like Brady better

Yes, it was good

Just don't care for him

There's a new Philippa Gregory just out, "The Other Queen."

Advance praise for Dennis Lehane's new one, a historic novel set in Russia, has been good. The title is "The Given Day." The only other one of his I've read is "Mystic River" (not a historic novel), but I really liked it. (I'm waiting for my library copy; it's on reserve.)

There's also a new Cornelia Funke just out. Have you read the "Inkheart" series? It's the third in the series, titled "Inkdeath." YA fantasy, and good. Maybe a read-along with your daughter.

Another YA fantasy series I've *SO* enjoyed is Brandon Mull's "Fablehaven" series. Great fun!

Heads up on a new P.D. James coming out soon...put it on reserve at your library NOW! Also a new Mary Monica coming out on December 2: "Thai die."

Sue

Woohoo! Another fan! Love him.

I like him, and really enjoyed reading Ysabel not that long ago.

Best wishes, Ericka

I've really been enjoying it (about 1/3 of the way through at this point). I didn't love the Cygnet books as much, and I have thought that lately her books haven't grabbed me at page one, but if I give them a couple of chapters I'm well and truly hooked. And then I'm lost when the book is over and I'm not ready for it to be over! Unless she does something really weird and out of character, I think I'm really going to love this one. You can borrow when I'm done, if you like.

Best wishes, Ericka

Cheryl, I just picked up a new series from Georgette. The author is Donita K. Paul and the first book is Dragon Spell, then Dragon Quest. I'm starting the 3rd book now. You could try your library to see if they have the first one. May be under Young Adult or Fantasy. Elise might like them as well. Just a thought. Have to sort my books to see it there are any I forgot to lend you. Bobbie

Else-net we refer to cow-orkers on a regular basis.

Elizabeth

I mostly don't care for him, but I found "Dolores Claiborne" and "Atlantis" both to be stunningly good. I should say, actually, that I find King a phenomenal writer as long as he's not trying to scare me.

Elizabeth

I automatically go out and buy any new GGK - he's that good...

True - the only book of his I read - and I tried about 5-6 of them was the one aimed at kids.

Maybe I'll try Atlantis

I'll see if it is at the library - I've read her before. Good writing but didn't get into the story

Will look next day off for her

Yes and yes - I think I've read everything (or very nearly everything ) for both of htem

I'll look for them too.. Thanks Erika

Cheryl

Read them, own most of them

Ok - another one to add to the list for my next library stop.
