2408497 I finished Storm of Visions (The Chosen Ones, #1), started and finished Gil's All Fright Diner and have started both Grave Sight (Harper Connelly Mystery, #1) and Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #7), which I have to say Lover Avenged is definitely getting most of my attention :)

1220677 just finishe reading Friday night Bites by Chloe Neill. It was eve better than the first book. Cant wait to read the next book. :D


message 103: by Jinnifer (new)

2764050 I just got finished reading Odd Thomas...WOW! This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions while reading it. I was laughing, then wanting to shoot someone, then wanting to throw up, then just flat crying. I figured i knew how it would end and then a twist of the story made me doubt myself and then i was totally unprepared for the ending!

Now i am going to start the second book in the Odd Thomas series... Forever Odd


message 102: by Susan (Suz) (new)

2408497 I just finished Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, #2), i have to say this is a good series, but i'm not in love with it! I love the character and the world but for some reason it's just not grabbing me like some other series do. Definitely going to continue with it tho. I'm currently reading Storm of Visions (The Chosen Ones, #1)

2526699 I'm almost finished "Broken" by Kelley Armstrong. I'm also reading "Exquisite Corpse" by Poppy Z. Brite. Next on the list is: "No Humans Involved" by Kelley Armstrong. I'm so excited that I am nearly finished the otherworld series, started reading it about 6 months ago.


message 97: by Lucille (new)

2389553 i just finished Exit Strategy, and thought that it was amazing :) Currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, and can hardly put it down!


message 96: by Sarah (last edited Sep 15, 2009 12:11PM) (new)

1220677 Ok, so i've finally got Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog. And i've just finished book 6 in the Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine, it was a pretty good read.



message 95: by Meeka (new)

2076275 Thanks again. No i didnt read Stolen but realized there must have been another 1 as I was reading Broken. Im alil upset about that but i will read it. I have a hold on 2 more books they seem to be hard to find at my local libraries


message 94: by Stella (new)

1724626 Meeka, you can find the chronological order of the Othwrworld series here: http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/mSeries.h... click on the "Series in chronologocal order (novels only)". It makes it easier to see through how all the novels follow each other.

And have you read Stolen after Bitten? that is the 2nd book in the series, and the sequel of Bitten.

Thanks Stella, I will cont to muddle thru so i can get to Industrial Magic. Didnt realize that there was a real order my friend didnt tell me that. Im glad there is Im into character development as well as characters coming in contact with each other in the different books

1724626 Meeka, in my opinion it is best to read the books in order, to see everything (different species, events that happened, new characters, etc.) more clearly. I liked DSM, but its sequel (Industrial Magic) was even better! :-)


message 91: by Meeka (new)

2076275 I'm reading Dime Store Magic by , its stared out kinda slow. This is only my 3rd otherworld seris book. I read Bitten awhile ago(given to me by a goodreads friend) I enjoyed it so recently i read Broken, I just love Elena n Clay.


message 90: by Stella (new)

1724626 I'm reading The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, it is teh perfect light and fast read for the summer, kind of like an adult Harry Potter.


message 89: by Lucille (new)

2389553 I'm about to start Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong, and Plum Lovin' by Janet Evanovich :)

Sorry but I found this book really really boring so good luck, I hope you like better than I did.

I loved Magic Strikes too. Curran and Kate crack me up! I laughed so much at the last page.

I've recently finished Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder, not the strongest book of the Study series but it did wrap everything up. I also finished Marked by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast which was ok.

I'm currently in the middle of Kissing Sin by Keri Arthur, the sequel to Full Moon Rising, which I'm finding difficult to get into. It's quite repetitive and I'm really tempted not to finish it.

1847538 I really enjoyed Blood Promise. It may not have furthered the story line on that much, but I think it was important for make the physical/emotional journey she did, and there were a lot of interesting reveals. I'm torn on Adrian. I love him to bits, but Dimiti... ;)

Last night I started Greywalker by Kat Richardson. I've heard good things about this series and thought I'd try it out as she's going to be at dragoncon.

2389553 meh. i bought Blood Promise the day it came out. I feel like it was kind of pointless. Really, they're all kind of in the same situation that they were at the end of Shaddow Kiss, with minor variations.
I did, however, also enjoy Adrian.
Also just read Tricks, by Ellen Hopkins, and she can do no wrong. And finished L J Smith's The Fury, and Dark Reunion, and quite enjoyed it.
Reading The Laughing Corpse by Laurrel Hamilton, and The Society of S by Susan Hubbard.


message 83: by Sarah (new)

1220677 Just finished Blood promise by Richelle Mead and...WOW! the ending was amazing. I'm really starting to like Adrian and wouldnt mind if him and rose got together. As for Dimitri...maybe theres still hope


message 82: by Susan (Suz) (new)

2408497 Been awhile since i've updated... finished Obsidian Butterfly, thank god! Needed a break from Anita, so I went back to the brothers! Reading Lover Unbound! Not very far into it, but I love V & Butch!

Yh i've just started reading The Dead girls dance bk2, this YA series is ok so far and pretty interesting. But it isnt as developed as Vampire Acedemy.
Pride was actually my least favourite book in the shifters series buts its still really good. I think its coz i missed the Ranch and Malone pissed me off so much.


message 80: by Lucille (new)

2389553 i love and adore The Vampire Academy.
So, i just finished Glass Houses, and I thought that it was ok. Last night, i finished Pride, and i think that the series is getting a lot better/showing a lot more potential. and i am about to start 'The Strain.'


message 79: by Sarah (new)

1220677 I started reading The Vampire Academy series by Richelle mead 2 days ago and was immediatly hooked! I've finished reading Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) like 5 minutes ago and cannot wait for Blood promise. :)


message 78: by Lucille (new)

2389553 yeah... it's kind of strange, and as of yet, I'm not really sure what the plot is. I only started today, and I already started on another book when i got bored 20 pages in..


message 77: by Amy (new)

2109885 Just finished YA fantasy THE SAFE-KEEPER'S SECRET by Sharon Shinn. I highly recommend it as it's a simple, original yet refreshing read with an unexpected twist.

Lucille wrote: "...I also just started Catcher In The Rye."

Oh dear, I feel sorry for you. It took me two months to read that book, I constantly found myself putting it down to do anything else other than read it.



message 76: by Susan (Suz) (new)

2408497 Finished Blue Moon (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #8) by Laurell K. Hamilton and jumped right into Obsidian Butterfly (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #9) by Laurell K. Hamilton


message 75: by Lucille (new)

2389553 Just finished Dante's 'Inferno,' an epic poem about his journey through Hell, and Ally Carter's 'I'd Tell You I Loved You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You.' I also just started Catcher In The Rye.

I received LEADER OF THE PACK by Karen MacInerney this morning in the post so ASHES TO ASHES was shelved and I read this instead. I couldn't put it down till I was finished!


message 73: by Mysticalgoddess (new)

550168 I finished "Silence of the Lambs", awesome book, read "Suicide Blonde", not my favorite, very depressing book. Now I am reading "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and "The God's of Eden" I like them both! Lady is a classic book, so far it's a little slow. The gods are kind of eye opening, and would probably freak people out!


message 72: by Stella (new)

1724626 Hey Everyone, I just stumbled upon this group and since I love Kelley Armstrong's writing, couldn't be happier that there is a reading group dedicated to her novels! :-)

I just finished reading Broken for the first time and though Armstrong's writing style shines through and her bitingly sarcastic, funny dialogues are to die for, I found the main plot, the main mystery not too exciting..


message 71: by Lucille (new)

2389553 i'm reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher.
I want to read the time travler's wife as well


message 70: by Amy (new)

2109885 I've just finished CAST IN SILENCE by Michelle Sagara and I'm now starting ASHES TO ASHES by Jennifer Armintrout.

It's a brilliant book but I'll admit when it came to the the tragic feet part I wanted to do a Joey from Friends and put the book in the freezer!

I'm not sure I could watch the movie at the cinema. I just know I would walk out at the end with red puffy eyes and plenty of well used tissues!


message 69: by Sarah (new)

1220677 Reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I wannid to read the book before i watch the film.

Destined for an Early Grave comes out tomorrow!

I read that recently and definitely recommend it. The second in the series is a little slower read, but still good.

2389553 I just started reading Stray, and i'm also reading Rises The Night by Colleen Gleason, and yesterday I finished Jessica's Guide To Dating On The Dark Side. So far, Stray is intriguing, Rises The Night is pretty good, but Jessica's Guide was a bit disappointing.


1847538 I'm reading The Demon's Lexicon as it fulfills both demon and YA catgories for my July challenges. I'm not very far in yet, but it's an interesting premise and has received good reviews.
