JoLene (trvl2mtns) | 705 comments Finished up Maisie Dobbs last night.
Starting Time and Again, but I might fit in Into the Dreaming because I just picked it up at the library. I'm a big fan of the Fever series.

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Just finished book 16 - Vestal Virgin by Suzanne Tyrpak , it was really good. I know what i'm reading next but not sure when I'll be able to sit and read it as I have exams tomorrow :(

Love that series, Barbara★. I was waiting to see what you thought when I saw you were going to read it. Glad you liked it.

message 656: by Amy J. (new)

Amy J. | 686 comments Finished book 6 Iced (Fever #6, Dani O'Malley #1) by Karen Marie Moning . I really enjoyed it, even though Dani gets on my nerves. It's made me want to read the Fever series again. Next up Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence .

Midu Hadi | 2744 comments not her usual awesomeness, LK
hey Amy!


message 658: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments **waves** Hey, Amy! I have Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence on audio in my line-up because I'm doing the Lifetime in Books challenge over in RRRC. I know, it was originally published in 1928, and I'm NOT that old. However, in 1959 it legally circulated in the U.S. after a 31 year obscenity ban, so I'm going with that. One of the few exceptions to publication dates.


message 659: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ Today my goal is to read Highlander's Challenge (Challenge, #1) by Jo Barrett and Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir .

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Both? Whoa. Babe.


message 661: by Vikki (new)

Vikki (silverstarz) | 1278 comments I've slowed down a little because I'm reading 2 books at the moment, so flitting between both.

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments I've started Witch Got Your Tongue (A Tongue-Tied Witch, #1) by Livia J. Washburn this evening and I've also started Disenchanted Book One (The Celtic Vampyre Saga) by C.K. Farrell but I think it'll be a couple of days before I have time to get into that one properly.
Got 2 exams tomorrow and then I'll be free to read a bit more before my last two on Friday :)

I really liked the Fever series but couldn't stand Dani --- I've debated whether I should pick it up.....did she get on your nerves in Fever as well??

Christina (iceprincess) | 51 comments I just finished Demon Possession (Shadow Quest, #1) by Kiersten Fay . I think I'm going to read Be With Me by Maya Banks next. :)

Amy J. | 686 comments JoLene
Sometimes. I think she's supremely arrogant, but she wasn't as bad as I thought she could be. I also was very hesitant to read ICED, but I wanted to go back to that world again... and, overall, I'm glad I read it.

Yup totally blew that. Didn't even start reading until 8pm. Finally finished Highlander's Challenge (Challenge, #1) by Jo Barrett this morning which I loved.
Started Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir about 1pm which I'm having difficulty with since all the names are relatively similar and I can't keep track of who's who. Thor, Thora, Alda Thorgeirsdottir and even a few towns with Thor in their name. I think the author could have come up with something a little different especially as this book was translated into English. Didn't they think us Colonials would have trouble with this? Oh well so far it seems to be an interesting mystery, I just can't keep the people straight.

 ★ gwiz ★ (ggwiz) | 760 comments Did a quick read series Sucks To Be Me by Kimberly Pauley.

Sucks to Be Me The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe) (Sucks to Be Me, #1) by Kimberly Pauley Still Sucks to Be Me More All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton Smith, Teen Vampire (Sucks to Be Me, #2) by Kimberly Pauley

Really a fun read and I will be in line for #3 when it comes out. The books are going on my Fav's Shelf so I will be rereading them in the future.

That makes 12 Books so far for the group.

Im going to start the Hex Hall as my next series to read.

Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins Demonglass (Hex Hall, #2) by Rachel Hawkins Spell Bound (Hex Hall, #3) by Rachel Hawkins

Both series Sucks and Hex have been on my TBR list way to long and am glad that they are going in the Read list.

yeah that almost makes up for the book being short!


message 676: by Kme_17 (new)

Kme_17 | 453 comments just finished In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson very fun read


message 677: by Andrea (new)

Andrea (angleisthebest) | 105 comments I am going to read The Last Echo (The Body Finder, #3) by Kimberly Derting , I know that the other books were interesting read, hope this one is good too. Has anyone read the book before.


message 678: by Renee (new)

Renee Just finished The Runaway Princess by Hester Browne I gave it 4 stars. Good book but sometimes the female character was hard to relate to. Now I'm about to start An Arranged Marriage by Jan Hahn . It got good reviews so I hope it lives up to them.

Happy reading everyone!


message 679: by Tanya (new)

Tanya (mrsreads) | 50 comments Just finished The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones and it was really good! I'd definitely recommend it. It started out feeling like the Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley and ended up being nothing like it.


message 680: by Vikki (new)

Vikki (silverstarz) | 1278 comments Finished my 5th book Bared to You (Crossfire, #1) by Sylvia Day

message 684: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments I'm reading What Would Satan Do? by Anthony Miller , I think I'm enjoying it!


message 685: by Renee (new)

Renee Okay so I just got The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen which I had been waiting for so now I am torn between readingAn Arranged Marriage. Oh man I hate trying to decide between two books. Time for a coin toss. :-)


message 686: by Vikki (new)

Vikki (silverstarz) | 1278 comments If I can't decide I just end up reading both


message 687: by Julianne (new)

Julianne | 63 comments I finally finished The Princess Bride  by William Goldman last night. I believe that's 6 books down for this challenge.

So now I have to choose between Afterlight (Dark Ink Chronicles #1) by Elle Jasper (which was my orinially planned next book) and Gates of Paradise (Blue Bloods, #7) by Melissa de la Cruz (which just arrived in the mail and I've only been waiting over a year to see how this series ends)


message 688: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) Finished #11! Waiting for Spring by Amanda Cabot. Such an enjoyable read! :)


message 689: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ Finished Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir . Not as good as I expected it to be. Definitely not a contender for Stieg Larsson!

Now I'm reading Dark of Night (Troubleshooters, #14) by Suzanne Brockmann which I'm liking so far.


message 690: by Christina (new)

Christina (iceprincess) | 51 comments Finished Be With Me by Maya Banks , Kissing Steel (Cyborg Seduction, #2) by Laurann Dohner , and All He Ever Wanted by Emily McKay . Next up is Everdark (Dark Ink Chronicles #2) by Elle Jasper .

message 693: by Krystal (new)

Krystal (crazylittlebookpage) Finally finished my first book and now I'm choosing which one I will read next :)


message 694: by Krystal (new)

Krystal (crazylittlebookpage) Mine isn't registering that I finished it????? And I don't know why... Anyways I'm about to start book #2 Blood Memory by Greg Iles hopefully it doesn't take as long to read but I don't think it will since its a crime book and those tend to keep me pretty captivated
