Kirsten  (kmcripn) Started listening to The Shining by Stephen King (in the dentist's chair), started reading The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, #1) by Robert Galbraith on my Kindle, and continued reading The Next Time You See Me by Holly Goddard Jones from the library yesterday.

Elle Rush (ellerush) | 28 comments I just read about eight "In Death" books in a row, so I'm casting a wide net as a palate cleanser before I dive back in. I've started Not Young, Still Restless by Jeanne Cooper (really well written, and very interesting so far if you are interested in golden era Hollywood), Not another vampire book by Cassandra Gannon (freaking hilarious, not your typical paranormal romance), and To Die For (Blair Mallory, #1) by Linda Howard (about to start it).

How'd you like The Gamble?


message 1972: by Paula (new)

Paula | 245 comments I was very conflicted regarding my feelings with this book. Great beginning and latter half. Middle tedious, immature at times BUT at the mid point the author finally got it right and the book was funny, sexy with a twist at the end. Max the hero is very sexy and alpha male but I think the author did an injustice to the character by having him appear less intelligent than he is. He is actually very smart and intuitive, but his speech pattern was strange (not sure she was trying to portray how mountain men talk). I liked it a lot though. I laughed really hard in parts. The supporting casts are extremely funny. I am glad I read it. I will definitely read book 2. Hope this helps. I am actually going on a bit.

Great description, Paula. I have found KA often gets a little long & drawn out (my early reactions were they could use editing & shortened) - and as you said, tedious in the middle with very alpha, sexy heroes that may appear slightly less intelligent then they are. But I usually come out at the end really enjoying them. Creed is one of my favorites - this one gets intense & heartbreaking at times.

Thanks Sandra because I was trying to decide if I should read any more of her books. I will take a look at that book. I liked the book a lot but as you correctly stated it was very, very, very long with lots of unimportant information. Also, Nina, the heroine did not seem to be able to complete a sentence always starting them with "Max, or Um, or but", but never finishing her thought and that turned me off since she was supposedly an intelligent woman--a lawyer. But I will give her another try because I like the basic premise of the story and it was different.

Starting Summoning the Night one way or the other this weekend, Penni. I won't let you down! :) I'm discouraged by my lack of reading time lately but I have some writing deadlines looming and have to finish & perfect two articles for submission. But don't give up on me!! lol

I'd never give up on you Sandra! I am soooo slow especially with actual reading (as opposed to listening), when you get started you will probably still pass me by. I am not worried at all.


message 1988: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (ezepeze11) | 582 comments I'm currently reading Julia and the Illuminated Baron, a book I have to read for school. If not for school, I wouldn't read it because it is not grabbing me, if you know what I mean. One cool thing about it (and the reason we are reading it) is that it is the first novel by a woman American author!

On the back it says it was "slumbering" for two centuries, and this edition is the first really available to us. Because of all this I would not be surprised if no one had heard of it, but has anyone heard of it?!


message 1989: by Sandra (new)

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
Julia and the Illuminated Baron (Library of Early Maine Literature) by Sally Sayward Wood - Is this the one, Elizabeth? I don't recall hearing about it before.

I notice it says the first "Gothic" novel by an American woman author. Interesting.


message 1991: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (ezepeze11) | 582 comments Yup! That's the one! Sorry I'm on my app or I would have tagged it

Until then I need to try to catch up with everyone on the re-read so i think i will read Big Jack


message 1996: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (ezepeze11) | 582 comments I also (finally) started Festive ID yesterday!! I've been so behind on this series and it feels so fantastic to be on the most recent book for once! I'm only halfway through so far but I'm loving it!


message 1997: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments I remember when I finally caught up with the series...there is nothing like that first time through it.

Christine wrote: "What's that book about?"

Christine, I don't think I can describe it! The first book of the series is Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1) by Jenn Bennett The series is considered urban fantasy, I think. There's quite a bit of world building in the beginning but I was drawn into the story line and fell in love with the characters fairly quickly. There are demons, suspense, magic, and a lot of humor, surprisingly enough. I love the writing style of this author - a lot of UF books are not funny but the dialogue made me LOL at times.


message 1999: by Donna (new)

Donna | 67 comments Still reading CyberStorm by Matthew Mather , and just started Fortune's Children The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt by Arthur T. Vanderbilt II
