2. Books I Done Read.
3. Curiosity Killed the Bookworm.
4. The Eye Of Loni's Storm.
Thanks again for the award Gabriel.
Thanks for the recommendation Karen. I thought Cloud Atlas had potential but it was abit of a slog for me and I hated how when I was just getting into a story it would junp to the next. At one point I thought my copy was missing pages! Loved JPod (and I even liked the short lived TV show based on it) and I have a pending mooch for One Day.
ReplyDeleteI can actually see why you felt Cloud Atlas was a bit of a slog. There were sections of it I wasn't too fond of but over all I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteJPod is one of my favourite books. Whenever I introduce someone to Douglas Coupland I lend that one out last because it's the best one.
I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like One Day. I have loaned my copy out more times than I can count.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning the award and thanks for passing it on to me!
Sally.
You are very welcome.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award Karen, now I shall think about recommendations. Strange thing - out of your four book recommendations I actually have three on my reading list for this year. Cloud Atlas, White Teeth and Jpod... maybe I'll move them forward on the pile.
