Read this last year. Good read. I'm a Nora fan too. The Key trilogy is my fave.
[b]The Three Fates - Nora Roberts
For those who are familiar with Greek Mythology, the Three Fates are: Clotho, who spins the Thread of Life, Lachesis, who allots the length of the yarn, and Atropos who cuts the cloth. It is said that the events of one's life is spun and woven into this cloth, and there is nothing that can be done to alter it.
The book tells of the quest to find these mythical statues, believed to be the only one of its kind. They are 3 separate statues, joined at the base - and each without the other is practically worthless.
In a story spanning 3 generations, the search for the statues to make them whole continues - snippets of history cleverly interwoven to make it more of an entertaining read than a lesson in Greek history.
What left me wanting at the end of the tale was just the fact that there weren't as much details as I would've preferred the book to have... but all in all, a great book for those lazy afternoons.

Tuesdays with Morrie is an excellent book. didn't take me very long to finish it. -
The cover of that book Faye recommended looks attractive, no?Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:I love Cecelia Ahern's novels! Absolutely riveting...
I just borrowed the DVD on Tuesdays with Morrie. Haven't seen it yet though, plan to do so soon... I love it when the covers of books are eye-catching and pleasant to the eye! 
Keep a box of tissue beside you when watching Tuesdays with Morrie! I cried so much watching that movie!
Also, if you happen to catch "Five People You'll Meet in Heaven", you'll also end up crying buckets!

Man, I really hate that!Originally posted by JLennon:
Didn't realise this book is the first of a trilogy. Now I have to wait for a couple of years for the second one and get ripped off by the hardcover versions.....
When I bought the first part of the Christian novel on the Last Days, "Left Behind", I had NO IDEA it would run into what... nine books or more. WOrse, they were churning out a book a year!
For the first five to six years, I waited eagerly for each new part. Thereafter, I gave up cause you forget so much in a year and I hate being kept in suspense for an entire year!
Now, I've decided... if it's a series, I'll wait till most of it has been written before I'll even bother to read it!

You're right, kAdEn! It certainly appears to be that way!Originally posted by kAdEn:is it me or there is just not a lot of male readers in here? judging from the books that are read, seems to me most of the ppl who post are girls.
Paulo Coelho - The Zahir
Well, since there are so many avid readers, I think from next month onwards, I'll put up a tally sheet on Page 1 of the thread, so we'll have our names, followed by the books we've read or are reading for the month, just for the fun of it!
Oooh... I love Paulo Coehlo's books! I esp love his very first book, "Veronika Decides to Die". If you haven't read that already, go grab a copy! -
Orh.. in that case, I'd better watch it on a Sat afternoon then... so that it'll give me plenty of time to get rid of my 'swollen-eye syndrome' in time for work on Monday!Originally posted by Rhonda:The cover of that book Faye recommended looks attractive, no?
