What are you reading?
Got
off NG and really enjoyed it. This is the second book of hers I've read that deals with memory and she takes very interesting ways into her exploration of it.

I like it so far. It's interesting being in the head of a heroine who appears to be insane.
ended up being a DNF for me. I didn't care for the characters, and the whole 'I need him now' thing while the main female character's life was in danger just wasn't working for me. It seems I'm in the minority, as the book has gotten really good reviews.I'm picking
back up today, because my buddy reader will be joining in, and I also started
.
I read a horrible m/m that I can't remember the name of. It was long. And I found myself skimming sex scenes desperate to get back to plot. Which is generally not a good sign for me. Seriously, I've given up trying to find m/m books on my own. The ones that you all have vetted are great. I should know better and just stick with your recs.
Have you read PsyCop, Tellulah? I haven't read many m/m but like to read more too.
Finished
which was alright, really short, but I should've expected that from the page numbers and it being a prequel.I also started
.
I finished
. Really good! I was up till 2am reading it, hahaha.
Hearts of Darkness is really good.

Wendy F wrote: "I finished . Really good! I was up till 2am reading it, hahaha."So glad you enjoyed it, Wendy. It was really lovely, wasn't it.
I couldn't put it down. Really very good.
I just started More to Give by Terri Osburn. I'm already feeling the love. She really owns CR at the moment. I'm about to start a novella recommended to me by Ninja Vicki. All I Want for Christmas is You by Jessica Scott. The fact that Vicki wrote a review, something she doesn't often do, is enough to make me want to read it.
Another rec from Vicki was Seven Days, Six Worst-Case Scenarios which I will get to shortly.
Finished
which was pretty good for being a short novel.Started
and still reading

Ian - if u are going to read the Jessica Scott book - that character is introduced in book 2 of the series (main secondary character)

I enjoyed it. The story was perfect for Halloween. It read like a contemporary romance with just a slight paranormal twist. The school setting was sort of dark and lent itself to the mood, which was nice. I didn't even mind the insta-love this time because it read like the couple was fated to be together and the story was so short that the fall had to be fast.
almost done with Wrong Bed, Right Guy in audio...unfortunately, i didn't plan on my commuteb eing 1.5 hours this am (normally about 30 min) so I don't haev a new audiobook to start when I finish this one up

yeah pretty much - there are some spoilers from book 1 (view spoiler) - but its mostly stand-alone - I just say read book 2 because you meet the major in it - he is the lawyer for the H - more as a character awareness - i haven't read his book yet though
Finished
which was full of miscommunication in the relationship and I hate that.Started
.
Finished
which was meh. Didn't like it too much because of the unrealistic relationship and betrayal in the book. Also dnf'ed
. It was pretty bad. Reminded me of the Kristen Ashley book I read that I couldn't bring myself to finish either.Going to start
.
I just finished
and now I've started
.
Mind blown by the amazingness that is
Though I hate the cover.
Tellulah wrote: "Mind blown by the amazingness that is Though I hate the cover."I think this is the one Wendy recommended to me. Good to see you liked it, too.
I need book suggestions... I want to get back into reading but I have no clue what to read. I feel overwhelmed at all the choices. I've missed chatting with everyone - hope you're all doing well.
Leea, I think maybe you should try
. I think you'd really like it. (So is the newest Raven Boys book, but you may want to start with something faster and lighter.)Also, I've been waiting for you! The sequel to Too Stupid to Live is out. :)
Leea wrote: "I need book suggestions... I want to get back into reading but I have no clue what to read. I feel overwhelmed at all the choices."Genre preference?
If you feel like CR, More to Give by Terri Osburn will be released in just over a week. She's brilliant. To be honest if it wasn't for her I'd probably take a break from CR.
I'm just about to start Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. Don't know much about it except a lot of people are raving about it.
And I read The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes about a month ago, and I'm still thinking about it. It kind of blew my mind. I just really love the main female character...dirt poor but would do just about anything for her family.

Thank you Ian, any genre. The last book I loved was Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail I wish I could find something like that to read.
The Jojo Moyes book sounds so good. Thanks!

! The rating is a little lower, but I loved Too Stupid to Live so much that I'm willing to give it a shot!Leea, I'm backed up for a couple books, but maybe I can squeeze it in after I finish what I'm reading? You should definitely try Understatement of the Year. It's Wendy, Kay and Tellulah approved. :)

Which is a pretty good trifecta of approval. *grin*

was a pretty meh read for me. But read
and oh my, how I love this series.

Leea, I have rarely found a book like Wild! I just re-read
by listening to the audio and man, I just love this book. You like Cara McKenna, maybe try that one?Angie, just beware that while Feed is really good, many many readers felt it picked up around 30% -- and then it was fabulous.
Big Little Lies is actually kind of amazing...though more women's fiction than anything else. It's about a murder (though we're not told who) at a school trivia night. The whole book leads up to the murder following three women who are facing different struggles. A young single mother, a woman in her late 30s who is unhappy in her marriage, and a slightly older woman who is dealing with a rebellious teenage daughter.
As I'm reading I'm finding myself trying to puzzle out what is going on and where people fit into the story. There are still a few big pieces that I can't quite figure out but I'm enjoying the not knowing.
I saw that book last night at barns and noble. Leaving tomorrow for a girls trip to San Diego, going to start One Plus One
Finished
, which had a unique concept but the execution was slightly lackluster.Starting
.
I am about 75% into
- -anyone else reading it?
I probably will read Symbiont at some point over the next month but I have other scheduled reads to get to first. Working on
and it's pretty weird. I think I'm really not an 80's bodice ripper kind of girl. Also working on
which is a deliciously creepy retelling of The Island of Dr. Moreau. I like that the gore hasn't been left out, even if the story has been romanced up. And I'm starting
for a buddy read.

and my Mira Grant love continues. Is the series as good as Feed?
I say no, but it's good. Feed is definitely one of a kind, but the spin on 'zombies' in Parasitology series is interesting, and the character is very unique. It's still pretty good. :)
Finished
which was an ok read. Starting

I'm reading
and
. The second one is the last in a series, and I've only read the one directly before it, which I enjoyed. But I think this last installment would be better enjoyed if you've read the entire series. I'm having a hard time keeping track of the secondary characters.
