I'm sure I will, Kris. Jonetta's recommendations are always really good. If she loves a book, I know I will! Planning to read Sleep with the Lights on in Dec.

Also, at 75% reading and listening to a paranormal mystery romance The Restorer
. This is the first book in Amanda Stevens' The Graveyard Queen series. It's a real page turner -- can't put it down!
Just started Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It's odd so far but you feel compelled to keep going to see what happens next. Any one else read it? What did you think?

Donna - I read all 3 books (Graveyard Queen series) straight through...this is an Amazing series by Stevens. I was mesmerized by it and can't wait for book 4 to release. The audios are wonderful also!!

That series is WONDERFUL! If it's possible for you to get the audiobooks, I highly recommend you give them a shot. The narrator is excellent.

I read it and really liked the book, which is an odd way of expressing my feelings as I disliked all the characters:) There are some shocking twists and it's an emotional roller coaster. Enjoy!

I finished Something to Prove by Shannyn Schroeder, The O'Leary's #3, and loved it. Here's my review.
I'm now reading A Maiden's Grave by Jeffery Deaver.

I've been listening to Hyde
by Daniel Levine. It's a wonderfully gothic and engrossing read. Gives you a whole different opinion of Mr. Hyde.

I agree… the characters are very unlikeable. I can't believe I'm still reading it since I'm so disgusted with the characters and the way they treat each other but it is so compelling…I just can't stop. Have to find out how this ends.

Love to BR it. Let me know when you'd like to start & I'll pencil it in. :)

Quynh...I'm to the point of laughing when I look at my reading schedule. And the thing is - they are all books/series I am anxious to read because I know how good they'll all be. It's insane. I'm thinking Jan. if you're okay with waiting until then. Then, we can knock out the series in 2015...maybe a book a month? I do that with several ongoing series to keep them all moving forward. Or if they are crazy good, I'll read them faster. We can work that out.
Yep January sounds good. And one book a month is fine too. :) I have lots of book choices to keep me entertained in December already.
Just finished Wolf in White Van
by John Darnielle. It was nominated for the National Book Award. I really enjoyed it.
I'm reading
. Somehow I skipped over this one. I'm not a fan of the story this time around (so far), but at least there's really nice humor mixed in with the vampire stuff.
I finished A Maiden's Grave by Jeffery Deaver and here's my review.
I'm now reading Her Holiday Man by Shannon Stacey.

One of my favorites of Nora's series, Dawn! Loved this series.

In Ebook I am reading Hot Blooded for the Lisa Jackson BOM and am reading Sylvester by Georgette Heyer (old style regency) as a re-read in paperback, cos you can't take a computer in the bath. Me too..Born In is my favourite Nora series, that and the Chesapeake series are my go to re-reads
I am listening to
. The narration is good, a bit halted and long pauses, but good overall. The story has me riveted. An amazing story of the human ability to persavere. It is the daily deal at Audible for $2.95.
Finished reading Can't Wait in the anthology All I Want for Christmas Is a Cowboy by Jennifer Ryan. It's the prequel to the Hunted series and here's my review
I'm now reading A Sinful Deception by Isabella Bradford.

Just finished
on audio. Probably will start listening to
next. Have been trying to get a chance to start reading
but haven't had any reading time. Maybe tonight.
festive in death, cat on the edge, the book thief, an uninvited ghost and top secret 21. will probably start NR's sign of seven trilogy again cuz its good on a cold winter day to have a Guinness beef stew in the slow cooker and a great scary story to read
You weren't kidding when you said you read multiple books at a time! I'm impressed you can keep them all straight.
That's a lot at once, Ivy. Awesome you can do that. I can only manage 2 - one to read & one to listen to as I work/drive.
