Romeo and/or Juliet by Ryan North

Hey, a choose-your-own-adventure kind of book. I didn't think they made those anymore. Cool.

''Conspiracy'' by S.J Parris it's set in Paris in 1585 during King Henry III's rule, I've only read the first two chapters thus far but it's definitely got potential IMO.

Thanks for info Miss Chicken. Now that you mention Richard Harris I remember seeing that movie - confused by the name, I usually like to read the book first. It seems I'll be seeing the old movie first, reading the book, then seeing the new movie. You seem to be a prolific reader Miss Chicken.

More of a prolific listener than a prolific reader. I try to get through 100+ books a year but I will be lucky if I make 90 this year.

I am listening to From the Corner of his Eye by Dean Koontz, narrated by Stephen Lang.

I'm reading the first Game of Thrones book in the series. I'm a recent convert to the series and binge watched the first five seasons before the new one started. Got the book box set as a bday pressie so I'm intending to read them all.

I've had the first five books for several years and haven't got around to reading them.

I finished The City of Mirrors last night and plan on beginning a new book tonight.

I finished From the Corner of His Eye. I didn't like it much mainly because all the characters in the book beside the bad guy were so saintly that they were sickly sweet.

I have just started The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris, narrated by Charlie Thurston. It is a mystery about a guard's young daughter going missing on Alcatrez.

Anything by Terry Pratchett is a good read. He's my favourite author.

Finished Through Black Spruce. I liked it, but not quite as much as Joseph Boyden's debut Three Day Road. Perhaps because I was expecting more historical fiction and it was contemporary.

Just started Bruno, Chief of Police #1 by Martin Walker. Loving it so far. Has anyone read this?

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I'm reading The End (An Enemy Novel) by Charlie Higson. It's the last in the series.

Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor

 

[Tora Ziyal]

The Man Without a Shadow, by Joyce Carol Oates

Same here =) Welcome to the board, btw.

Current read: a volume of poems by Dafydd ap Gwilym. Fortunately a translation - my Welsh isn't that good

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I'm now reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King.

I'm now reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King.

Are you planning to read the other two books in the trilogy?

I am listening to Buffalo Girls by Larry McMurtry, narrated by Betty Buckley. It is a novel about Calamity Jane.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ A very interesting character indeed.

 

[Starkers]

Finished The Burglar Who Counted the Spoons by Lawrence Block and now well into Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky which is one of the most amazing books I've read in some time.

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I'm just about to finish Finders Keepers. Then on to End of Watch.

 

[Miss Chicken]

I am not going to be reading much today and tomorrow as Game of Thrones has just become available for download and I am going to watch all ten episodes.

I think Buffalo Girls has taken a lot of liberty with the truth as far as the Calamity Jane story is concerned though I guess much of stories about her are impossible to verify one way or the other.
