Hehe yea, and I was looking for book 2 in the Lord John Grey series. What do you think of Lord John Grey?


message 3654: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 323 comments He is alright, but not my favorite. I don't have any interest in reading that series.

I like Lord John Grey for some reason. I am interested in knowing more about him too and that is what that series will do I hope. I know Jamie is in the third one so we will see.

Haha Mary I will let you know. I wont start this series until after the new year though. I think it will be good, so I am looking forward to it, and the books are much smaller than Outlander thank the lord for that. LOL

I was really bad with buying books. We would go to the UBS every week which explains why my book shelves filled up so fast. LOL I had no choice but to slow down a bit.

Mary Beth  | 323 comments You know I think Id rather read Lord John Grey series and skip The Fiery Cross lol! Now that book scares me, so long and slow. I think I will be skimming.


message 3661: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Yea the Fiery Cross is huge and the next one is no better. I think it will be taking me much longer to finish this series, but you know what? We are free to read them when we want and take as long as we want too. No time constraints!


message 3662: by Janice (new)

Janice (jamasc) I've picked up a few books over the last couple of days:


Winter
Shadow and Bone
Tooth and Claw

Mary Beth  | 323 comments Janie I like the idea of no time constraints in this series because I am reading so many different series that are awesome that I might wait till January to read The Fiery Cross. I read the first 6 chapters and it bored me to death. Ack!! I do like the series though and at least the 6th book is suppose to be good.

Janice those books sound like they will be good! I do want to read Shadow and Bone.

Good for you...I am so glad that your Goodwill Carries a lot of books. The Goodwill in my town does too and I am due to go take a look at their books. Its been a while since I've been there. I usually find Middle Grade Books there and some Good Ole Mystery Books as well too.

Got a Gift cert for our UBS from my daughter and son in law for Christmas! So I used it yesterday! LOL We had an early Christmas this year because they traveled up north for his family.


message 3690: by Amber (new)

Amber Dulaney (escapingreality) | 27 comments The other two books I ordered finally arrived and they are Mean Streak by Sandra Brown and Chocolat by Joanne Harris . I ordered Chocolat because I watched it on Netflix with Hubby and someone had bought me the sequel a few years ago. The movie was so good I decided to get the book so I can find out what was left out so the second one will make sense.

That would be fun. I haven't read any of her stuff but I couldn't resist those covers. And they all matched. It was like hitting the powerball....well maybe not that but it still made me giddy.
