Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You by Peter Cameron


Really good book, I gave it a 4 star rating, though it could have been 4.5 if we were allowed half stars. The review is in my Personal Challenge thread.
And that brings me up to a rather dismal 2 for this challenge so far! Luckily it is only the beginning of February!

I've also read The Summer Book, for "Seasons". (Reviews in my Members Corner).
So I finished 4 :).

1. Color Goodness Gracious Green
3. Things That Grow The Time of Aspen Falls

8. Weapon Gin and Daggers

I liked it very much...Gave it 4 stars. I thought the twist at the end was classic Christie. I don't even try to figure out who her murderers are, lol! I'm never right. I really enjoy Agatha Christie books, especially her Poirot ones.

Me too. The Poirot ones are by far my favorites (although [book:And Then There Were None|16299] was good too). I always try to figure out who it is! I tend to go back and forth between people with every new piece of evidence - haha.

I've always wanted to read that, how was it?

I really enjoyed it! I have a full review in my personal challenge folder, 51-100 section if you want to see. Was a very short read - less than 150 pages on the Kindle freebie edition. Parts were hilarious! I loved the mystery feel of the beginning, and that he did eventually get to explaining HOW he became invisible in the first place. Fantastic!
This is my third read by H.G. Wells (read Time Machine years and years ago, and War of the Worlds this past fall), and I think maybe I should add him to my favorite authors list. Love!! <3

Awesome! I'll have to check it out for sure. Thanks!

I've finished another! (Doing some short reads to catch up on my goal for the year.) For...
#25. Occupation: doctor, detective, assassin
I read...

Again I really enjoyed this one. Was worried I'd be creeped out or scared by it, but instead found it a perfect allegorical example for Paul's lamentings of "that which I wish to do, I do not; and that which I wish not to do, I do" (loose paraphrase of my own, there). Great read, and short to boot!
