Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 922 comments So we're a couple of months in to the new year and I ask; have you read anything so far that blows your socks off? Anything you just need to tell the whole group to go out and buy NOW?
Please share those great books here

Terri (terrilovescrows) | 15 comments THe Callahan chronicles by Spider Robinson has been my favorite so far this year


message 3: by Chris (new)

Chris (calmgrove) I've really enjoyed two, Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and, in contrast, A S Byatt's The Biographer's Tale. But not so much that I would say buy it now, more do read it if you fancy a good read.

Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 922 comments I have read a few incredible books so far this year, but I recently read The Rosie Project, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion and I have not stopped talking about it yet. If you liked Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and/ or the snappy dialogue of One Day by David Nicholls, you'll like this. I urge you to read it

Chris (calmgrove) I did enjoy The Curious Incident... (and Haddon's A Spot of Bother too) and The Rosie Project sounds interesting. I'll certainly look out for it.

Lorrie (lorrier) I think Peter Rock's book, "The Shelter Cycle", is very good!

That's good, I have that, I wasn't going to buy it but wait for the library book to be free, but I bought a kindle copy in the end. The moment I had it, so many other books got my attention. I really need some time off, kids-free and a hired cleaner for the chores! THEN lots of greedy, blissful reading.

Lorrie (lorrier) I'm reading my first Laura Lippman book right now and am sure that I'll read another when I finish.

Jules | 2 comments Das Parfum Die Geschichte eines Mörders by Patrick Süskind was simply excellent and I also enjoyed The Last Queen by C.W. Gortner immensely.

Adrian Major Hope (amajor87) | 14 comments The final book in my favorite series! It was a bittersweet read. God Don't Make No Mistakes (God Don't Like Ugly, #6) by Mary Monroe
