Finished Shelf 3 - Currently Reading with Fahrenheit 451 and give it 5 starsNow onto Shelf 4 - Fiction, The End Of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas
Finished Shelf 4 and give it 4 stars (some of the background info was quite detailed and may not be to everyones taste) onto Shelf 5 - Fantasy with The Prestige by Christopher Priest
Finished Shelf 5 and give it 5 stars, now working on Shelf 6 - Historical Fiction with The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Finished Shelf 6 and give it 4 stars, onto Shelf 7 - Classics with One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabrial Garcia Marquez
Finished Shelf 7, and gave it 3 stars, onto Shelf 8 - Favorites with American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Finished Shelf 8 with American Psycho and gave it 5 stars, onto Shelf 9 Horror - with The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (why it's a horror I do not know but borrowed it off a mate so want to get it read asap)
Finished Shelf 9 with The Lost Symbol and gave it 3 stars, it was an exciting fast paced read but borrowed a lot from the Da Vinci Code and felt a little bit repetitive as a result. Onto Shelf 10 Mystery with The Poe Shadow A Novel by Matthew Pearl (really looking forward to this one, been eyeballing it for a while)
Finished Shelf 10 with the Poe Shadow and enjoyed it that much I gave it 5 stars, was a very very good read whether you a Poe fan or not (obviously Poe fans would enjoy it more though), Pearl has obviously researched the subject and this comes across in the writing. Onto Shelf 11 Historical with The Devil in the White City Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson, which is another one I've been looking forward to from my Hay pile
Finished Shelf 11 with the Devil in the White City and thoroughly enjoyed it, in fact I gave it 5 stars it was that good.Next up Shelf 12 History with The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, which much to my surprise is a vampire story, didn't even realise that one lol
