Wow -- this is your first by her? Oh Angie!! You need to read Experiment in Terror!!"

I have to get back into that series. I only read book 1 with the ladies in this group but it was so good.

It's on my list, Regina, but you know me. Once I start a series, I just can't stop! I'm not sure I'm ready for that level of commitment right now! LOL

[Regina]

Samantha, how did you stop? Angie, this is not a long time commitment. You would fly through it in a week or two.

[Tellulah]

Loved Everything she writes has been such great reads. I think all I've got left of hers is the Dark Swan series.

[Dee]

i'm finally going to start Dead Witch Walking - I bought it on my kindle back in 2010 and never read it...

[Regina]

I think it was free then right? That was when I got it. Love to hear your thoughts. I wasn't a fan. I was disappointed since I love the titles and the covers.

[Dee]

i think so...I need a book for a challenge either set in ohio or california...any other ideas?

[Regina]

Hmm a ton set in California. Let me narrow my thoughts. Have you read or or or

These are all ohio.

Have you read which is set in California.

[Kay]

I'm only 29% into . I haven't connected to the characters yet and I'm not sure if I even like them. It might just be my pessimistic mood. I still have a ways to go so maybe my feelings will change.

I'm sorry you're not connecting with the story, Kay.

[Regina]

I don't think you are going to like it then Kay. For me it was the characters and setting (reminded me of when I both went to college in Mexico and went to a language school in Mexico and then in Italy.) the writing in my opinion wasn't great. So if you aren't loving it due to lack of connection the characters now I don't think it will get better.

[Courtney]

Finished . Guess nothing can compare to the Kate Daniels series!

Started .

Oh...I never actually got into the Kate Daniels series...maybe I'll give this one a go.

[Regina]

I loved clean sweep and I love Kate Daniels. :)

[Dee]

Kate Daniels took abt 3 books before I was really sucked in

I haven't - I'm kind of scared to because everyone has raved about it and i'm afraid it will disappoint...

[Regina]

It won't. :) I have heard so many readers have the same worry. It is well done.

Regina wrote: "Samantha, how did you stop? Angie, this is not a long time commitment. You would fly through it in a week or two."

Haha! I got distracted with other books. I'm all over the place this year with reading. I'm getting back to it. It appears to be a series that can suck you in.

I reserved AngelFall at my library. I was nervous about it too but I want to read it.

Everyone keep telling me about Kate Daniels series. I might have to bump it up.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Angelfall is so worth the read.

[Lisa]

Dee, I know what you mean about how high expectations can set you up for disappointment. I really liked Angelfall and recommended it for a group read on a different board. There were mixed reviews there. Some liked it and some really disliked it. A lot. I read it a few years ago or two and didn't pay much for the ebook so it wasn't a big loss if I didn't like it. But I did and bought book 2 as soon as it was released.

Am in the mood for a nice romance suspense and picked up Linda Howard's

[Regina]

Wow, I have never met anyone who disliked Angelfall!

[Kay]

I finished and rated it 2.5 Stars. Don't hate me everyone...this book just wasn't for me. I really like the author's EiT series so I will just stick with that.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Lisa let me know how you like Kill and Tell, I need to read another L. Howard book. She's a great writer.

I couldn't sleep this morning so I finally picked up Love, In English. I'm 14% into it and I like it so far. (view spoiler)[ Vera and Mateo - I can see what's coming and I know it's going to be all kinds of hurt. (hide spoiler)] I do love the slow build up.

[Regina]

I can't stop thinking about Vera and Mateo and mateo's wife.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I liked the slow build, too, and the more books I read that have that, the less I like the instalove books.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Yeah, I can't stop thinking about them either. Is the ending good or is is sad? I loved the scene where (view spoiler)[ Mateo tells Vera he wen't back to his room to call his wife. She's a real person now to Vera abut she still has this attraction to him. (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa]

Regina wrote: "Wow, I have never met anyone who disliked Angelfall!"

I know! I was surprised by it. It just proved that not all books that I love are loved as well by others. Though I'm usually very easily pleased with the books I choose to read - hardly every disappointed.

@Leea - yes, will let you know - so far, it's good (circa '98).

[Domino (aka Meme)]

started listening to and i'm just about done. it is so good. i'm glad i started it.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Okay!

I got to read a lot more yesterday and this morning, now i'm half way through Love, In English and i'm really enjoying the story and this budding romance. 54% (view spoiler)[ Mateo and Vera finally had sex and wow was that hot. He keeps saying they have a future but I think that's easier to say while their away together. I'm nervous about how this will end. (hide spoiler)]

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I started last night.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

After Hours isn't my favorite by her, but it was pretty good.

Domino, have fun with Backstage Pass. It has no real story, but is a fun smut break!

Lisa, I'll be curious too to see how the Howard book works for you. I've really liked everything I've read from her so far.

I still haven't read a full book this month. Talk about burnout!

BUT...I think I figured that a genre switch was much needed. Before I got into my rut, I'd been reading a ton of adult romance and varying YA, so I looked through my library for a book that was different from either of those and went back to (which I started before, but couldn't get into at the time because I was in a romance mood). So far, I'm really liking it. I got 20% in before I had to put it down, so that's a good sign!

Did book 2 explain more of the world than the first book did? I have my copy of this but haven't cracked it open yet.

[Dee]

Tellulah - I have books 3/4 of the Dark Swan series on my series catch-up challenge if you wanna do them as a buddy read - I do have the audiobooks (just as an FYI)

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Stacia (out of inspiration) wrote: "After Hours isn't my favorite by her, but it was pretty good. "

I'm enjoying it so far, but it did start off a bit slower than her others.

[Dee]

i'm reading Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves - Matt REilly is a total comfort read for me - I know his writing style is very choppy and some ppl don't like it - but I get sucked in

[Tellulah]

Stacia (out of inspiration) wrote: "Tellulah wrote: "Loved Everything she writes has been such great reads. I think all I've got left of hers is the Dark Swan series."

Well it (view spoiler)[ spends most of its time in a neighbouring territory, exploring the religious "primitiveness" of it - ie lack of technology, polygamy etc. However, there is a bit more explained about the gods that Justin and Mae are dealing with on a personal level. (hide spoiler)]

Dee, I'd like that. I just put the first two on hold so if you haven't read 3 & 4 by the time I catch up to you, let's do it!

[Dee]

just lemme know - i'm in no rush...they are just on the list for sometime this year...I'll probably try to do them a little bit apart - I rarely read/listen to books in a series close together

[Domino (aka Meme)]

thanks Stacia =D

finished Backstage Pass and loved it. now listening to bk 2

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Is there anyone here who hasn't read 'The Fault in Our Stars' and is interested in a buddy read next week?

[Courtney]

Finished and . I don't know if I'll continue with Throne of Glass. I felt the heroine wasn't very likeable or relatable.

I have no idea what to read next, probably finish .

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Finished Love, In English and it was good. I liked how it was a slow build and didn't just end with (view spoiler)[ Vera going to mateo or something. I liked that we got to see them together in madrid and how it wasn't such a simple HEA. (hide spoiler)]

Next up... I may try to read . I hope to finally start this series. I have so many books on my shelf to read.

[Courtney]

Ok, decided I'm going to read . We'll see how this goes!

[Ian]

Courtney wrote: "Ok, decided I'm going to read . We'll see how this goes!"

Oooh...this book is awesome....in a pendulous sort of way (lol...look for it)

[Lisa]

@Leea & Stacia - Linda Howard's Kill and Tell didn't quite do it for me. The romance part of it felt too rushed and I just didn't feel it or believe it. I was more interested in a couple of the side characters so will look for a library copy or used book 2 since this is a trilogy, CIA-something.

The Duke's Tattoo looks good and it's a good price.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I started last night.

[Regina]

Beautiful cover.

I just finished - powerful stuff!! It was so good.

I am trying to decide which arc I should start or

[Lisa]

I'm reading that was suggested reading at the women's crisis center where I've recently started volunteering at answering the crisis calls during off-hours. The book is a true story about a Harvard graduate who falls in love and marrying a batterer and her journey through that relationship. It shows how it can happen to anybody. A real eye-opener. For me, anyway. But I'll be ready to read something light right after. In fact, during. My audiobook for outside work and car travel is book 5 of the Zombie Fallout series

[Dee]

just finished Dreams of Gods & Monsters - I liked it but didn't love it - i wasn't a fan of the whole Far Isles storyline - that just didn't really work for me
