What are you reading?
@ Claire:If you liked that book you might like the series by this author, if you are looking for light fluffy reads:
Janni Nell
The first book is:
Allegra Fairweather (Allegra Fairweather Mystery #1) by Janni Nell
Yeah I need to review book 2 because it was great. There were two bad guys here...and while the "bad" bad guys were a bit flat to me, the secondary bad guy had a real personality and back story. I'm interested to see what happens next.
Finished:Sacrifice the Wicked (Dark Mission, #4) by Karina Cooper
and
Wicked Lies (Dark Mission #4.5) by Karina Cooper
So I finished with Jane True series at 2 a.m. today, and I have to say that it was a great read! Eye of the Tempest was good; at the end of Tempest's Fury, I was screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" and "Fuck! Shit! It can't be true!", so I had to just pick up Tempest Reborn and finish it, and I really loved it! Great series!No I'm wondering what to read first on my list:
or
Finished:One for the Wicked (Dark Mission, #5) by Karina Cooper
Since this was the last book in the series maybe she can just pour all of her time into her st. croix chronicles…. I love that one even though it is steampunk (which I usually don't read) and there are only 2 books so far.
I just finished my 1st book this month,
A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin. My next book is
Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse #13) by Charlaine Harris
I just finished my 2nd book this month,
Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse #13) by Charlaine Harris. My next book is
Immortal Ever After (Argeneau #18) by Lynsay Sands
Just finished Opal Fire...by Barbra Annino.This is the first of the Stacy Justice Mystery books/
Will definitely be reading the rest.
Finished:Magic Study (Study, #2)by Maria V. Snyder
I liked the first book better … Valek is not very asssassiny though.
Maybe I am just blood thirsty or something….

until I can justify the purchase of another Kindle book to my parents."Its a good book :) and yeah had I owned it - I would have loaned it to you as well.
I appreciate the thought =]I did end up starting
and I don't think it's lived up to its cover or back blurb. It literally took half the book to really get the action going. The world is interesting enough that I'll finish the book....but it's really disappointing.
Finished:Fire Study (Study, #3) by Maria V. Snyder
Just because I can I think I might read the next 2 books set in that world and start that healer series she began, someone said it was awesome. :P
@ Claire:
See pepsie vs. coke … I like that series, which mean book 1 and the couple of short stories between it and book 2! I didn’t like the first book very much until I read the short stories, then I re-read it all when book 2 came out. It is not as intricate as other books, but I still like it.
@Llaph I don't even know if I'm going to finish this book. It might be around 3 stars for me. I might just skip to Death Rejoices. I'll pick it back up later but now I'm just not in the mood.
Claire I can tell that you are having trouble staying interested in this book. I just wanted to let you know that I have read it and I really liked it. So your right you should pick it up later and finish it. You'll have changed your mind by the end of it.
Diane I hope I will. I was really looking forward to reading this book, and so I was sad when it didn't work out. I've made to the point where they arrived at the island in the sub.
Finished:Touch of Power (Healer, #1) by Maria V. Snyder
The first book after the study series ticked me off 50% of the way through so I skipped them. Bleh!
@ Claire:
If you want to read a fantasy book I found this one as a freebie on amazon to test out my new kindle app. I didn’t finish it, I keep meaning to go back and finish it (but I am a dork). There are at least 5 in the series so far. For some reason it sort of reminds me of cast in chaos series … though it has the steam punk tag to it I haven’t seen evidence yet. Just a suggestion!
The Emperor's Edge (The Emperor's Edge #1) by Lindsay Buroker
link to amazon page
I just finished my 3rd book this month,
Immortal Ever After (Argeneau #18) by Lynsay Sands. My next book is
Retribution (Dark-Hunter, #20; Were-Hunter, #7) by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Just read
. I might be obsessed. I love Mark Batten almost as I love Pritkin. I love Harry as much as I love Bones. And Marnie is...well she's awesome.It's almost like what Anita Blake could have been if LKH was a better writer. Seriously. Aalto keeps the gore and the mystery and drama,but it's also sexy and fun at other points. I may go back and read these both again, just because I'm not ready to give up the world yet.
Okay Claire, I get it, you can stop now. I'm going to start reading
today, so you can stop promoting it. :D
I just finished my 4th book this month,
Retribution (Dark-Hunter, #20; Were-Hunter, #7) by Sherrilyn Kenyon. My next book is
Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed #6) by Lara Adrian
You forgot the book amber!@ claire:
There I christened my TBR shelf on purpose this time. (Not talking about how I added books by accident to that shelf ... or the accidents I had while looking books up and accidently hitting the like button and it going on to my FB account that I never use.) It actually did look like a good read, haven't set -up amazon for me yet though. )Long stupid story ... can't beat .99 either. Haven't checked Ibook though....
I'm rereading
and I'm not sure what to read next. I have a few freebies on my Kindle but I don't know if I'm in the mood for them.
Oops. Haha I finished Bloodring and SeraphsHost wow that was an intense ride.Now I have to stop reading and get ready to move no more distractions :(
@ claire:I started touched last night ... I am only 100 some pages in and I love it so far. I want a Harry....
Being able to dl a preview is evil btw.

It would be great to have more books from this series.
I started the Black Magician Trilogy series with
,
and loved
. Right now I'm on
and
.
Finished:Touched (The Marnie Baranuik Files #1) by A.J. Aalto
Still want a Harry.
Long book, I wasn’t expecting the length … I wouldn’t stop reading it so I put off work I should have been doing to finish it. :P
Just 3 things that made me like the book:
1. Her name is similar to my maiden name.
2. She loves frogs
3. My hometown was mentioned and people rarely know wtf it is.
Now to finish my work that I put off before I read the next one.
I'm reading
, bit scared right now :PDefinitely recommend this series, especially as the first is free
I just finished my 5th book this month,
Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed #6) by Lara Adrian. My next book is
A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) by George R.R. Martin

Err, interesting.
@amber:
I also liked the first Jane novel better than the rest. I like the others better … when I have re-read the series I tend to skip most of that series sides book 1. Driving Mr. Dead is my favorite of all of the books.
Hrm I am behind on the dark angel’s series by a lot … only have read the first few books. Should get on that. :x
