I just finished reading Oryx and Crake. It didn't feel like it had really ended.

I remember feeling the same when I read that too, Damon. It was a while ago though, and I never read the sequels. I am usually a huge Atwood fan, so probably need to reread and hit the next two all at once.

I have just finished the very disturbing You by Caroline Kepnes, and have started something a little different, The Regional Office Is Under Attack! by Manuel Gonzales

I have started on the next one. I could not help it.

Just starting Splintered by Kelly Miller after finishing e-Murderer: A Jenna Scali Mystery by Joan C. Curtis

I find I read these books much quicker when they are on the Kindle, which is odd because I like reading proper Hardcover books.

I read faster on the kindle. I don't miss 'real' books at all, which surprised me as I was so against them at first. But the light is so good, and I find them easier to hold, plus reading in bed is so much easier!

It is somehow easier to promise yourself 'just to the end of the chapter'.

I agree with all those comments Damon and Kylie. I wonder why we do read quicker on Kindle though? I am always saying 'just to the end of the chapter', but I did that with physical books too....

I think because you don't have the physical bulk of the book to show you how much further you have to go. On the kindle, when I hit 80% I know that I will read to the end unless I am at the point where my eyes will not stay open. Of course 20% of a 250 page novel is substantially less than 20% of a 500 page novel! With a real book you can see that more easily.

I've just finished the Unwind series, which is possibly the best YA series I've come across. I'm starting The Old Curiosity Shop and haven't decided yet whether I like it or not.

I've just finished reading The Never Dawn and am currently reading Seven Lives. Only 25 pages in, and finding it slow going so far.

Just finished My Husband's Son by Deborah O'Connor /review/show...

I have just finished The Secret in Their Eyes and have just started Leviathan Wakes I believe I am going to enjoy this series.

I just finished the Leviathan one recently as well. It was quite good especially the parts with the detective.

Just starting The Hanging Club by Tony Parsons after finishing Duplicity by Sibel Hodge. /review/show...

Just started Play Dead by Angela Marsons after finishing The Hanging Club by Tony Parsons, a thrilling 5 star read. /review/show...

Is the Hanging Club anything like Agatha Christie?

Damon wrote: "Is the Hanging Club anything like Agatha Christie?"

No, but Tony Parsons is an excellent author.

In the Clearing by Robert Dugoni /review/show...

Just finished reading "And the Ass Saw the Angel" by Nick Cave. A wonderfully dark, gothic, tragedy.
Now onto "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon :)

Just finished This Was a Man by Jeffrey Archer the 7th and final volume of the Clifton Chronicles. it is a great series if you like family sagas.

Also just finished The Trapped Girl by Robert Dugoni which I enjoyed far more than the previous book in this series. /review/show...

and about to start Everything You Want Me to Be by Mindy Mejia

Finished listening to The Forgotten Room by Lincoln Child. My review /review/show...

Just finished The Five Matchboxes by John Russell Fearn /review/show...

I finished City by Clifford D. Simak. My review is very short and is meant to be a joke because of Clifford the Big Red Dog (The book is about evolved dogs)

Just finished Blackwater by James Henry, a very ordinary read. /review/show...

And about to start Sticks and Stones by Michael Hiebert an author I have read and enjoyed before.

Just finished my first ever by Chelsea Cain, Sweetheart I am totally anamoured. My review: /review/show...

*enamoured

Just finished Sticks and Stones by Michael Hiebert. Not one I will be recommending. My review /review/show...

Just finished listening to The Narrows by Michael Connelly, in which The Poet, Connelly's best ever villain, makes a reappearance. /review/show...

Just finished a very good and slightly different take of a golden age detective story The 12.30 from Croydon by Freeman Wills Crofts/review/show...

Just finished Skin Privilege by Karin Slaughter. Not an easy read. Gut wrenching in fact. But soooooooo good! WOW! I feel like I have been hit by a freight train - that's how fast paced this book was. But it was good - really good.

/review/show...

I am going to check out that Karin Slaughter.

Have just finished my first book by author Maggie James His Kidnapper's Shoes . I will be reading more by this author. /review/show...

That is the final one in that series Brendon....while you can read it as a stand alone, you will get more from it if you read the series. *:D

Just finished listening to Every Fifteen Minutes by Lisa Scottoline which I enjoyed rather more than I thought I was going to. /review/show...

Finished The Steel Kiss by Jeffery Deaver a few days back. Scary book, in the fact that it quite conceivably could happen...... /review/show...

Just finished listening to Daughters of the Bride by Susan Mallery

If you like 'happy ever after' - this one's a gem! It has left me with a smile on my face and a genuine liking for this family. To all you who know me, this is indeed high praise coming from someone who doesn't 'do romance'.

Daughters of the Bride is not 'schmaltzy' - it is enjoyable. I even laughed out loud in several places - yes, a good look when you are sitting in a café on your own.

Next time I fancy something light and enjoyable, I will be looking at Susan Mallery first.

Just finished The Silent Wife by Kerry Fisher. /review/show...

Oh dear, I seem to be in a bit of a reading slump....this was even worse than my last read. I made it to 71% then wondered why was I was wasting my time and abandoned it. Everyone else has given it rave reviews..... Fatal Option by Chris Beakey /review/show...

I have just finished a really good psychological thriller Little White Lies by Elizabeth McGregor. Chilling! /review/show...

Just finished One Little Mistake by Emma Curtis. The more I think about this book, the more I like it! /review/show...

Just finished Blood Ties by Jenny Francis, an okay read, but nothing special. /review/show...

Good grief - I seem to be the only one posting on this thread. Hello? Anyone out there? *:D

I have just finished listening to Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. This book should be compulsory reading for all history classes, although it is historical faction. Moving. Tragic./review/show...

Finished Little Girl Lost by Carol Wyer this morning. 2.5 stars. /review/show...

I was a bit disappointed in Her Every Fear by Peter Swanson. I was expecting more from this author. /review/show...

I have just finished listening to A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny. /review/show...
