I'm reading the Deadly Reunion series by Lynette Eason. So far it's great. The first book had me guessing to the very last page!

I am currently reading Blood Cross by Faith Hunter. It is a wonderful urban fantasy that I am so enjoying. Another awesome urban fantasy author is Seanan McGuire..def a fav author of mine where i itch to read more.
Just finished reading The Soho Anarchist, by Tony Evans. Which is a Victorian crime series. At the moment it is free on Amazon: http://amzn.to/WFKFkq I really enjoyed it and recommend it for download.
Here is the blurb:
The Victorian detective Hester Lynton and her sharp-minded assistant Ivy Jessop are back for another series of dazzling adventures.
In London a mysterious package with a deadly secret has landed on Hester's desk.
In the suburbs, a woman is plagued by a series of pranks which hint at the supernatural.
And in Islington, a medium claims to have the power to access the thoughts of her client's dead relatives, as well as the money in their pockets.
Can Hester find the elusive Soho Anarchist before another bomb is blown? Will she unearth the secret of Greystones Villa and identify its tormentor? And will she unveil the true identity of Madame Valland and the secrets of her supernatural powers?
Join Hester and Ivy as they travel throughout the country chasing adventure and solving mysteries.
This casebook promises twists and turns with a pair of lady sleuths with sharp wits and Holmesian intelligence.
'The Soho Anarchist' is the second in a dazzling new series of Victorian mystery stories that is perfect for fans of the Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and the Raffles series.
“A slick and sassy detective series. The female Holmes and Watson take on the criminal underworld of London.” - Richard Foreman, best-selling author of of the Raffles series.
Tony Evans is a full-time writer. His other publications include adaptations of classic novels [for the “Real Reads” series] and co-authorship of a book on steam locomotives. He lives with his wife in the Yorkshire Dales.
I just finished reading Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, which I very much enjoyed. Since March I've been slowly getting through A Feast for Crows, and yesterday I started Northanger Abbey.
I am presently reading The Majesty's Opponent - Subhas Chandra Bose (Biography) It is very interesting.
I just finished
& gave it 3 1/2 stars. It's cute & a very fast read. Now, I am continuing my "spring cleaning" and have moved on to
- up to Ch. 517 from Japan. If I finish that & the most recent chapters of
, I am going to try and finish off Kay Hooper's Shadow series with
.
Hey I've read two series that are different and not well known, yet. The first, Capital Girls, is a YA/NA series about four teens living in D.C. and how they balance being teenagers with politics. These books are excellent for teens and adults. This series is old school YA/NA. There are no vampires, werewolves, stalkers, abuse, or whatever else is in the current YA books. This series is about grades, peer pressure, gossip, boyfriend/girlfriend issues, working parents, college choices, and all the stuff teens endure on a regular basis - except this is under the harsh spotlight of politics. That adds a delicious twist. :)
The second series starts with Marked for Vengeance and fits in most every genre: mystery, suspense, paranormal, YA, NA, dystopia, romance, and thriller to name a few. This series is about Protectors who come to Earth to guard their humans. The Protectors are also humans. I seriously love this series! :) Book 3, the final book, comes out around August and I can't wait! :) If anyone has read anything like this, please let me know because this is soooo different, to me. I'd love to read more books like this. :)
I'm currently reading 'A Question of Biology' by Jonathan Clark. It is a series of questions and answers that explain the main principles of Biology - I found it really helpful. It is available on kindle.

Let me know how's Time Traveller's Wife , I am planning to read it next :)
Abby wrote: "I'm currently reading The time traveller's wife and To kill a mockingbird."How do they books compare with the films? (If you've seen them).
At the moment I'm working my way through The Complete Sherlock Holmes, and I've almost reached the end of The Return of Sherlock Holmes. I also just started The People of the Abyss by Jack London.
Abby wrote: "I'm currently reading The time traveller's wife and To kill a mockingbird."I wish Audible.com would put out an unabridged To Kill A Mockingbird with an exceptional narrator. It is one of my favorite books of all time.
If you enjoy reading historical fiction take a look at the REVIEWS for WILLIAM & LUCY by Michael Brown.Amazon.com or www.tarnpublishing.com
Thanks!
I'm currently reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Both are really good so far. I just finished Beautiful Creatures and Unwind which are both really good.

I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Nine: Ghost Town - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Ten: Bite Club - Rachel Caine.
i just started "Knight" bu Kristin Ashley. supposed to be a 50 shades type but better written. I shall see soon..
Stacy wrote: "i just started "Knight" bu Kristin Ashley. supposed to be a 50 shades type but better written. I shall see soon.."Have you read 50 Shades of Grey yet?? I haven't but I have been debating it, I normally don't go for the whole popular book bit, but it seems intriguing in some odd way.
Well, i did read them all. ALOT of sex, but the writing is not the greatest. I have to say that my husband wanted to read them to see what all the fuss was about, and he liked them too. He did make fun of some of the scenes and quoted the worst lines LOL. But they are addicting.
I also read all of the gillian flynn books lately too since i read "gone Girl" They are dark, so i had to switch to something lighter for a bit
I'm reading Crescendo (hush hush #2) and so far it's really good. I think the group should read the hush hush series, the mortal instruments series, divergent series, or the perks of being a wallflower because all these series and books were really good in my opinion.
Currently reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I like it even though it took me about 40 pages to get into it as some of the characters, dialogue, and descriptions grated against my nerves. But I'm glad I didn't put it down after the first chapter as I've forever been meaning to read it (as it is a classic) and putting it off for brand-new books in the YA genre. Now I'm almost finished but just waiting to see how the story plays out.
I am currently reading Chosen by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. It is the third book to the House of Night series. They are really good so far. Some parts of the books are awkward, but overall they are amazing and intriguing. I recommend this book to people who love paranormal romance.
Nicola wrote: "the midnight palace - carlos ruiz zafon."That one is on my TBR as well. Is it anything like the books in the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books' series?
im going to read Graceling next. heard that Katsa is a strong female protagonist. lots of good reviews!
Lianne - it was originally Published as a YA book so it's not as deep and dark. Good though, I loved Shadows.
If you're looking for something different, here's the latest review for Raised by Hand, Lifted by the Tides.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
This weekend's favorite read is UNDER THE NEVER SKY by Veronica Rossi. :) Ended the book with a smile and the urge to read the next book immediately.
Can someone help me decide what to read next? Either...Mila 2.0
Tankborn
That Time I Joined the Circus
Unraveling
Sisters in Sanity
or
Crank
I just finished reading Anna and the French kiss. I loved it, but now I'm having trouble finding something new to read. Any suggestions?I like books about Europe, traveling, romance, YA books, and anything with steamy scenes :)
So far I've enjoyed the writing style of
*Tammara Webber in "Easy"
*Stephanie Perkins- "Anna and the French kiss"
*Huntly Fitzpatricks- "My life Next door"
All great books. Any ideas on what to read next?
@Ashley - Or Mila 2.0. I haven't read it, but I've heard it's pretty good. I just finished Clockwork Princess. Definitely a great book! Can't wait for Cassandra Clare's new series, but now I'm reading Pandemonium from the Delirium series.

I'm currently reading Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night.Finding it a bit difficult at times.But surely a tragic tale worth reading.

I thought Horns was great! I like Heart Shaped Box too.
Currently reading Scarlet, the sequel to Cinder, and am enjoying it so far. After this I want to spice up my genre and read some "summery" books. If any of you have a good summer book, please let me know
Well I just finished The Death Cure from the Maze Runner trilogy. It was really good I thought it would be boring and at first I didnt like the author's style of writing, but it got better as it went on. I recommend it.I dont know what to read now, maybe Inhuman by Kat Falls. I loved her other books. If you know any good authors, please tell me about them :)
