I'm scared about Mao's Last Dancer...

I started it today, as it is a thickish book. Thoroughly loved the way the introduction was written. Looking forward to reading more.

I'm reading Kill Shot, by Vince Flynn at the moment, filling in the gap to Mao's Last Dancer, which sits in the cupboard anticipating 01 April.

Whoo hoo... Stieg Larrson series arrived today. Just have to finish of The Kill Shot, which is AWESOME by the way, if you ever want other reading... it is like the Hunger Games, just addictive to read. I near read 60% of it just yesterday alone. A few final chapters, some study to complete, then into the dragon tattoo series I go.

Managed to get Anne Frank by Francis Prose in Dutch at half the price of the english version and Mao's Last Dance in English through Bol.com. It is book week from 14 to 24 March with free delivery. Not too bad paid 17.89 euro's for them both.

Should be interested as Anne Frank's story happened here anyway.

Delivery between 4 to 8 days, which means arrival will be on time. :)

:(:(:( It may take me sometime to recieve my series. A colleague will loan me the set, she just needs to remember where she put them. I'll ask at the library on Saturday.

I am enjoying Maos Last Dancer though.

 

[Loloma]

KP, do you know he lives in Australia now?

 

[KP the nut]

Yes, I had a quick peak at the back of the book. He lives in Melbourne, hmmm who else do we know who lives in Melbourne? :D

I now have my reading stockpile... Abundance and Beautiful Disaster just arrived today, Stieg Larrson yesterday... and that is on top of the book club books.

A happy list of reading to do now.

I am so looking forward to Saturday and officially reading Maos Last Dancer. I started reading it and really enjoyed what I have read. I've stopped for now as I don't want to get to far ahead. I will be pleased to pick the story up again.

I still don't have the Stig Larson series, I must do something about that.

I've just ordered Ann Frank, A Glass memoir and for me The Land of Painted caves. All three books (inc postage) for under £10.50.

I've had a look at the following books for the rest of the year, gosh, what a mix. I am up for the challenge though - heck, if I can battle through the Tigers Wife, I can obviously read most stuff.

 

[anthony]

Yer... a nice weekend read for me as well will be out next months book. Atleast some of it.

Sorry not really able to join is as I wanted to.

I need to get some things in order before I can sit back and forget the world in a book at the moment.
