I always get so caught up in his books. I'd go straight to book 2, but I want to wait and have something really awesome to read later on in the week.

Amber (mixiemoon) | 233 comments Couldn't sleep last night so I read a couple kindle freebies. Order of the Seers (Order of the Seers, #1) by Cerece Rennie Murphy and The Red Order (Order of the Seers, #2) by Cerece Rennie Murphy I really enjoyed these books.


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments Also started listening to Elantris by Brandon Sanderson


message 2961: by Margo (new)

Margo | 663 comments Yesterday I was exploring my new town, well more specific my new shop center and bought Dead Until Dark for 1 pound. Never had a courage before to read it, since I like the TB series and didn't wanted to be disappointed like I was with Vampire Diaries, but so far so good. The only thing that HBO added so far is sex, but other then that they are freaky accurate.


message 2962: by Amber (new)

Amber (mixiemoon) | 233 comments Margo I think the story lines split a lot after the the third book the TB series added a lot of stuff that was never in the books.


message 2963: by Margo (new)

Margo | 663 comments Good to know, thanks Amber :)

message 2966: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments Diane, a British pound is just over $1.50 depending on exchange rates.


message 2967: by Margo (last edited Jun 26, 2013 02:06AM) (new)

Margo | 663 comments Yeah, Lannister is of course right, and 1 British pound = 5, or more Polish zloty, so for me it's rell;y cheap, especially that the cheapest book in Poland cost like 25 zloty so it's 5 pounds. The only book that you can buy for 1 pound in Poland is a Classical Polish literature which everyone has at home and no one wants to buy it LOL :D


message 2968: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments £1 is cheap for a book. I think you got a bargain, Margo. Hope you're enjoying your new town. :)


message 2969: by Margo (new)

Margo | 663 comments So far so good, thanks Lannister.


message 2970: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments I've started reading Magic Lost, Trouble Found (Raine Benares #1) by Lisa Shearin . I thought it was UF with elements of High Fantasy, but so far I'd put it firmly in the Fantasy category.

It's good, though, so far.


message 2971: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments I read that Lannister. I liked it until the second to last book, and it made me mad over something stupid. lol That rarely happens but it was unbelievable to me.


message 2972: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments I didn't realise there were so many books in the series! (It's a buddy read in another group). I haven't read much yet, but it's OK so far.


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments Finished The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, #2) by Brandon Sanderson this morning. I loved it, but Vin was frustrating the hell out of me. She so got played, though.

Started The Hero of Ages (Mistborn, #3) by Brandon Sanderson


message 2974: by Claire (new)

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments Just read Chains of Frost (The Bellum Sisters, #1) by T.A. Grey . It was a surprisingly good book for an Kindle freebie. I'm considering bumping my review up from three to four stars. It was a pretty typical PNR but it wasn't too cheesy and the characters were fun.

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments Started Cast in Shadow (Chronicles of Elantra, #1) by Michelle Sagara . It's one of those books that thrust you into the story with little explanation. lol I'm so confused on all the creatures. Thankfully, I can pick up on some clues, but we'll see. I haven't gotten very far. I think I will like it if things become clearer

I'll definitely be interested in what you think of this one when you're done.


message 2978: by Claire (new)

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments I just read Shadow Sight (Ivy Granger, #1) by E.J. Stevens and Blood and Mistletoe (Ivy Granger, #1.5) by E.J. Stevens . I enjoyed the first book enough to read the novella, but I'm not in love. The characters lack the sort of life that really invests me in their world.

But I've had a lot of downtime at work lately, so I'm constantly reading.


message 2979: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments I really liked the first book of Chronicler of Elantra. I am almost done with Cast In Courtlight. The second one is a bit slower ... more psychological political playing... I'm less confused now. lol

After that I will move on to the third one: Cast In Secret

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance by A whole mess of people

I had forgotten that I had this book … being blind sucks for skimming! This anthology was where I read my first Jeaniene Frost story, which led me to the NH books. I also read my first Ilona Andrews story in it. I forgot how it led me to a lot of new series to read. Pffft There is even a stupid weather warden short that reminded me that I don’t like Jo or David. :P

Diane (FriskyVamp) | 372 comments I said on here one time that I won't read PNR books written by men. Some one asked what men wrote them. Well I did run across another one by Tim O'rourke. Sorry I just don't think men get the romance and sex like a women does.

That's interesting! I didn't even know there was such a thing as a PNR book written by a man. I guess I shouldn't make assumptions, but I do tend to think of it as a female thing. And, from what you say, I don't feel inclined to try one!


message 2987: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments PNR requires a certain formula and .... "Cadence"? I think guys can write a good romance, or romance in a story. For instance, Jim Butcher and Dresden's relationship with Susan. But not when it's strictly romance. But my husband has read a PNR, and he said it's very unrealistic when it comes to guys and their POV. Which I have heard from other guys, also. (Even the male half of the Ilona Andrews team!) But I don't think we girls care about that ;) We like our romantic sexy books to be a certain way.


message 2988: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments LOL, that's probably true, though I don't feel best to judge these things since I hate too much romance! I actually thought one of the reasons I like Curran so much is because he felt authentic and I think that's probably because he's written by a guy. The Andrews team really do have the best of both worlds, which is why their books are so good.

But, most romances are really meant as fantasy and escapism - something I'm normally very fond of in a book. But I just can't get into romance. It never feels realistic to me. You know, the way that hobbits and House Lannister do LMAO!

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments Man Lannister, you gotta read the Dresden Files. You will like it.

I hope you like Cast in Shadow (Chronicles of Elantra, #1) by Michelle Sagara for this is one of my favorite series and I have been through over 97 books this year alone and 464 books in the last 3 1/2 years.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments Finished:
Embraced by Blood (Sweetblood, #2) by Laurie London
And
Enchanted by Blood (Sweet Blood 2.5) in A Vampire for Christmas by Laurie London

I reallllly didn’t like Dark Storm or Leopard’s Prey … thought they were both really stupid. I guess my opinions have changed over the years because I used to like some of her other books. Though I have thought her last few books in her varied series have been rather lack luster too. So maybe she just stinks now!

I forgot about Cast in series … I have a bundle I can’t remember why I did not read any after the first book since I liked it.

LOL - Excellent Suggestion! I might just do that. ;)


I currently have:
Deadly Sting (Elemental Assassin, #8) by Jennifer Estep Fall of Night (Morganville Vampires, #14) by Rachel Caine The Red Plague Affair (Bannon & Clare, #2) by Lilith Saintcrow Wicked as She Wants (Blud, #2) by Delilah S. Dawson Magician's End (The Chaoswar Saga, #3) by Raymond E. Feist

That's excluding the 30 odd Kindle Freebies and older books on my shelf such as

I keep staring at my shelf... but nothing really jumps out screaming "READ ME! READ ME!"

I feel a new List coming on. *Nods* :P
