Best hurry on over... ![]() May's Book - nikkinaz - 26-04-2004 Quote:Originally posted by Pam M Ha, ha I knew it I knew it !!! I will convert you by the end of the week. My library does not seem to have it ![]() May's Book - nikkinaz - 30-04-2004 Just got my copy in - brand new I am the first to read it ! Will start after I have read the Bookseller of Kabul...after all it is not yet May and I am jumping the gun a bit ![]() They say Sunday and Monday lots of rain - so get reading all snug and curled up with a book. ![]() May's Book - Icecub - 05-05-2004 Another new one to try: Name all the animals by Alison Smith While her devoutly catholic parents wrestle with their faith and their grief, Alison makes visitors coffee, goes back to school, and - being all her parents have left - copes. Or so she tells herself. Alongside the life people see run her private rituals of mourning - she hoards food for her brother, and hides in the garden fort they'd built together, waiting for him to return. Eventually, Alison finds her own way to survive: a startling taboo first love that helps her discover a world beyond being "the girl whose brother died". And whose raw shocks bring her up against the fact that she really hasn't coped at all. So this is in part a book about grief - living with it and failing to recognise it - but it is also a love story: about Alison's love of her brother, of her childhood, and finally of life. NAME ALL THE ANIMALS is a beautiful, absolutely compelling portrait of innocence struggling with loss. May's Book - Pampered - 10-05-2004 Okay, so I finished His 'n Hers today. Thought it was a lovely book. Nothing spectatular, but an enjoyable read. I have another of his books, and they are both about the same. I am glad I got it, but I do not think I will be re-reading it again anytime soon..... What did you all think? May's Book - nikkinaz - 11-05-2004 Hey there Pam, have not yet started the book thought I would a couple of days ago and been quite busy; so still finishing off the novel I said I was reading at the begining of the month. :dazed: I am being awfully slow this month, but hopefully I shall get it started BEFORE the weekend and can give you my verdict early next week. ![]() Ja, and I was the one who was getting started with the May book way in end of April! (Mind you - you are a quick reader ![]() May's Book - dudette - 11-05-2004 I've finally finished my Henry VIII and his 6 wives book - rather interesting, if that's your thing,... and got His 'n her's from the library today. I'm the first to read it too! ![]() ![]() Pam, why not make your comments on it in its own thread? Then we can all add our own opinions as we finish it too. (just a suggestion ![]() I read the blurb for Lovely Bones today, and I might read that too. Hmmmm so many books, so little time!! ![]() |
