Just finished The Next Big Thing. It wasn't very good.

I'm about to start More Like Her by Liza Palmer.

Good choice to start with the books, they're fantastic

I read all the Clan of the Cave Bear books recently, I enjoyed the first, but the story went downhill after that and never recovered, not sure why I kept reading them.


Last book I finished was The Passage by Justin Cronin, it similar to the walking dead, but with vampires. It took about 300 pages to properly get going, but it is a pretty long book, just under 1000 pages. Anyway once the story comes to life, it's a real good horror adventure.


I just started part 2 of it a couple of days ago.

Read the first 2 of the Dresden Files while on holiday, they were a bit cheesy, predictable and repetitive in descriptions etc but they were a light read for relaxing in the sun




Just bought myself The Picture of Dorian Gray which I'm going to start today, I know the story of course but I've never actually read the book

I've been looking for the passage Claudia, think I will need to just buy from ebay because I really want to read it.

I started Paper Towns 2 days ago. It seems okay atm, nothing special or intriguing yet.

I also bought Dorothy Must Die, which seems really, really good. I left this one for later so my excitement can grow

I've been interested in The Dresden Files for a little while now, definitely gonna check them out at some point.

This week I'm hoping to start Fables Volume 2: Animal Farm and Northern Lights.

It's pretty good and still impressive in its scope but this trilogy is a lot worse than his Pillars of the Earth and World Without End imo

Honestly they're not that good, very badly written and predictable I thought

Aah. Even if I did try them out it wouldn't be in the near future anyway, got plenty of others planned that will already take up enough time.

Started Northern Lights today, read one chapter so far but it sets up the story nicely.

It's a shame the movie adaptation of the series didn't progress past the first one (which, I recall, wasn't too well-received by fans of the books). I wonder if they'll ever consider a reboot.
