I have just read and reviewed Just Add Spice - Carol E. Wyer. I loved the characters and the book. Now I am off to read and review Tatterdemon - Steve Vernon for the author.

Here is what i will be reading after The faceThe Lost Years by Mary Higgins Clark Let the Dead Sleep by Heather Graham The Undertaker's Widow by Phillip Margolin Riptide by Catherine Coulter Hour Game by David Baldacci
I just started
as an actual paperback I can pick up. I don't often read an actual book anymore - it's a simple pleasure to hold it in my hands. Only a couple chapters in with this one, but so far, so good.
I just finished reading
... a good & quick read. Im anxious for the next installment since it is going to be focused more on the Alfar (the Fey).I am now currently reading
Question for anyone who has read them..I bought a couple of Lemony Snicket books at a yard sale, I think they're 3 or 4 and 7? Do these books need to be read in order or are they pretty independent? And are they even worth reading?
I am still reading
. I am really starting to get into it now. I found the start of the book a lot slower than GoT. I am really enjoying it now.Reading
for two challenges. It is also a slow read but I like it. Kind of depressing though.I just started
. It is too early for an opinion.

I understand what you mean! It took quite awhile for the story to develop for me in the ASOIF series too. I'm thinking because there are so many characters, lineages and alliances that you need to familiarize yourself with first. Once you get going though I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to the Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Although I probably will be married with kids by then.
oh and i'm currently reading Cassandra Clare's "City of Fallen Angels"

I really liked Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments Series. I didn't like so much the Clockwork Series so much but I still have Clockwork Princess to read.
I'm reading Water for Elephants, and so far it's an interesting story. The circus has always fascinated me, both in a good and a bad way, so I enjoy reading about it.
I am currently reading
It's way worse than the tv series. I don't think that I would finish it if I haven't seen the tv show, I'm only finishing it since I want to compare it with the show.
I am reading Divergent right now but I also recommend Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz. It is not one of YA novels but it is addictive.
Im reading the book thief right now (which is great) but was wondering if anyone had ajy recommendations for a romance novel thats well written thats not set in school/college or an erotica novel. Would love some suggestions!

They are not erotica and they are not kids. I haven't read any of her books in ages. They take place in Ireland if I remember correctly.
@ Katie G, have you read Sarah Addison Allen. She has 4 books that I really love. Garden Spells- my favorite
The Sugar Queen
Girl who Chased the Moon- this one has 2 teenagers in it, but the story is not only about them.
The Peach Keeper

Thank you. I haven't read anything by Sarah Addison Allen but I will definitely try Garden Spells and may read some more of her works if I like it.
I'm always reading several books at once. I just finished Sati-Christopher Pike and Between Heart and a Rock Place-Pat Benatar. I'm currently reading The Scarlet Letter-Nathaniel Hawthorne and Why I Hate Canadians-Will Ferguson. Next up on my pile is Slash-Slash and Dandy in the Underworld-Sebastian Horsley, but I'm thinking maybe to put this groups' recommended reads first. Is that how it works?
I finished Rebecca a few days ago and really liked it. It felt slow in places but I think that was just the main character's mind set. I wasn't able to predict what happened. It was a good mystery.Right now I am reading
. This one will take me a while but it has a good start. I am buddy reading
and I am finally getting around to
. I have been meaning to read this since the beginning of summer. I am half way through now.

I highly recommend if you are looking for something different in thriller/suspense. In a world where every second person is a self-proclaimed writer, myself included, it's easy to forget what makes a debut author stand out among all the other newly published books. It is because they have distinct talent and are good. Let me rephrase that, they are damn good and it sets them apart from the rest of the newbies. Landon Parham is a case at point. While this book may appear to be your run-of-the-mill thriller at first glance, it thoroughly disabuses you of that notion within just a few chapters. He moves the plot forward through a mixture of point-of-views, leaving you hanging on every last sentence waiting to see what will happen next. First Night of Summer is a sad, haunting tale about an ex military man, Isaac Snow and how he must find a way to protect what is left of his family before he loses everything to a dark and demented evil. Some violent parts can be difficult to read, but you will not be able to put it down. It is a fast-paced read with a strong plot driven story.
Check out the official book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_FI2E...
Kindle, Nook, and ibook on sale for only 99 cents for a limited time.. I "liked" his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Landon..., and he is one of my new favorites. I can't wait to read his next! #1 NYT bestseller, Sandra Brown picked his debut book, First Night of Summer as her recommended read this year!

I am currently reading
by Anna Banks. It's the next book to Of Poseidon. Can say that I love it and I recommend readers' who likes to read about mermaids, I dunno. But in my opinion, it's a preety top book--funny and entertaining to read. The girl named Emma (ho is the main character in the book) reminds me of myself sometimes. I know it sounds conceited but you gotta bond with your book, okay!
I read
last month. I thought it was okay. Good but not great. If I remember right, the main female character really irritated me.
The Power Of One by Bryce Courtenay is an amazing book! I have to read it for school and I am really glad that this is the book I'm suppose to read! I can't put it down.
i read "The Husbands Secret"for my book club. It was a fast read, with surprises and twists. I really loved it.Also just finished Bring Me Home Its the 3rd book in her series and it was a great ending to a great story

I just finished The Light Between Oceans and enjoyed it very much. I'm giving up on Blood Orchids. I'm more than 60% through it and it just bores me. I'm going in a different direction and plan to start Driving Mr. Yogi: Yogi Berra, Ron Guidry, and Baseball's Greatest Gift
I just finished Sea of Poppies. It took me some time to get into the story, but I did really enjoy the novel :3 I'm currently reading If this is a man/the truce, by Primo Levi. Even though the fact that this is a true story makes it quite difficult to read at times (at least, for me), I do think this is one of the books you really have to read at some point.

I read The Book Theif and completely loved it! I think Zusak did a amazing job of telling the story in different but special way. I am planning on reading it again here before the new movie comes out. Can't wait to see.

Currently reading My Name is Memory, 50% finished.It's quite good actually although at first it seemed boring and draggy. On the latter part of what I've read it started getting interesting and the story managed to hook me up and kept me flipping one page to the next.
Next Book: If I Stay

Thanks! Just went to the library and they didnt have it :( so now I have to wait for it to come in :T but I still have plenty of books to read! :)
I'm currently reading City of Ashes, and this book is just amazing. I'm enjoying every bit of it. I would also like to recommend The Catastrophic History of You and Me; it has a very interesting plot. :)
I've finished Release Me - J. Kenner. Is kinda like Fifty Shades and Bare To You style book, so intense are the characters that I throughly enjoyed it. Now I can't decide whether to read next installment or carry on reading something I started lol.
I'm currently reading The Fault in Our Starsand I really like the book a lot! Definitely a worth-reading one.
