Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Ooooh I'm all excited about thursday now!


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Thursday? Darn, that's the day I'm off with the fairies at the bottom of the garden.

So will we be seeing you that day - or will you be 'otherwise occupied'?

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Depends on when he gets in. I expect he'll be quite late.

I've just finished Flux and am amazed at the way in which the 'normal world' and can't call it imaginary, more like an alternative or cerebral reality are interweaved. Very very well written.


message 813: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Oh yes, the thing about Flux - the test of a truly classic horror tale to me, is that you read it and you think, 'Could this happen?' Some horror, you just feel like a voyeur to gratuitous volence but this is fabulous. You care, you believe. It's a brilliant book.

Funny you should say that. The next one's complete fantasy.


message 815: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I love fantasy too!

It's my favourite too.


message 818: by Kate (new)

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments Well done Lorraine. How many are you hoping to read now?
I'm on 10 active authors so far (and 1 non active author whom I'm not counting because although a member he's not made a comment in this group). So glad you set up this challenge Lorraine, its great fun. :D


message 819: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments I don't know Kate, I'm just glad things are heading the right way for now :) Even if I go over the 25 authors I still have to find another 15 books to read to reach my goodreads target of 40 for 2012 !

Well done on yours, you'll have to put up a list some time when you get the chance, so I can check out what you've been reading ;) Me nosey? absolutely not !

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments So far I have read:
Bang: Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin, Cruel Justice #1,Impeding Justice, Passion, Fire and Fury, Footprints, Tollesbury Time Forever, A Cleansing of Souls, Shattered, Beat on the Brat and Other Stories, Flux, Goodnight Dear: The Unsentimental Diary Of A Bereaved Husband.
I'm currently 64% through reading Solitary Pleasures and the non active author I've read is The Killing of Emma Gross
Oh and anyone who can count, I've read 11 so far not the 10 I thought. Ok lorraine, I've shown you mine now its your turn, who have you read (so I can grab a few ideas) :)


message 821: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Wow that's great !


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Mine's fantasy ;)

And I could do with some love ;)

Anyone else having lower sales? Maybe because it's the holidays...

I think I've read two GR authors' books thus far: The Wizard of Time and The Shadowed Valley.

I'm trying to get a couple of books out in the next few weeks, and will clear my schedule for another GR author read thereafter!


message 823: by Harrison (new)

Harrison Davies (harrisondavies) | 186 comments You and me both DM. Definitely lower sales.

I'm going to finish my latest read and then focus on a genre I wouldn't normally read I think.

I've read one GR authors book so far and looking for something new.


message 824: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I shall have to have a look at yours DM. I'm proof reading at the moment but a whole untouched week stretches before me!

Just finished Jamie Sinclair's All the fun of the fair. This is a cracker. Inter-twined lives in a small seaside town. I really enjoyed this one!


message 825: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Harrison, something new such as ?


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments A whole untouched week? :) Can I have one?

Thanks, Ignite.


message 827: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments You can share mine chuck!


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments I have to wash my hair...


message 829: by Kate (new)

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments How rude was my initial thought to that last comment D.M., but then I realised you just wanted Ignite to have the opportunity to relax and read your book. Phew. :)
I've not got your book yet, sure I will once I've got through the backlog.


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Hehe. That's right! Thanks.


message 831: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments He's backing off in fear Kate - he's heard about me!


message 832: by Kate (new)

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments Good :)
To be honest I scripted an indignant response before realising noone would be so silly as to turn down an offer like that!!! Then the ulterior motive became clear... Lol


message 833: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Well Darren, never let it be said that I am not able to take a hint - even from someone with mucky hair! Downloaded and started.


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments :)

Enjoy!

D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Gah, I misread the thread title, thought it was "self love - challenging our authors"

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Daft lad!


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments I is learning my letters, like what you taught me - y'know, proper like.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments love letters, french letters, job application letters, letters of credit, those kind of letters you mean?


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments No, the kind of letters you have with ham and tomato.
