Written in Red is a phenomenal book. I hope you love it, Angie! I finished up Sarah Maclean's series with Took me a bit to get into it but the second half, I was whipping through the pages and ended up with a bit of a cry. So delightful finish all in all.

I had to stop listening because I was at work and was unfocused on the book. I switched to Feral Sins. I'm loving it. It's hot as heck, and if I get distracted by work for a few seconds, I'm OK.

I am going to have to listen to Written in Red on my commute or just read it the old-fashioned way! It was too intense to miss anything.

[Courtney]

Finished , which got boring towards the middle and end.

Started .

[Courtney]

Finished which was mediocre. There were points in the book that were eyerolling and unnecessary.

So, to those who enjoyed Too Stupid to Live and Understatement of the Year. I just read and if you can get past the really awful cover, the book was really good! Funny and sweet, lighter on the sex, and a throw back 'murder she wrote' detective show type mystery.

I really really liked it a lot.

[Regina]

Tellulah - -the same for me as to any books I find are under 4 stars. I just dnf them. I only want to read something right now that I love. Before, I wanted to read anything.

Right now I am on a Cara McKenna/Meg Maguire binge. I read these:



Out of all 3, the Reluctant Nude was my favorite. It was more Cara McKenna than Meg Maguire. It is set in Nova Scotia and the male character is a French artist -- it was a beautiful story. Second in that group would be Playing Games -- I loved that one, the characters and the setting. The third, -- and it is way behind the other two -- is the second in Cara's new romantic suspense/biker gang series. This is better than the first in the series, a lot better. There are really good scenes and amazing characters in this book but the storyline is not great and the genre makes it hard for it to be great. I feel like she read a lot of romantic suspense novels, mapped out the arc and the story line requirements and then wrote her books. I don't know why she is doing this, it is so anti-her books. But if anyone is interested in the series, the second is kind of worth sticking through. Romantic suspense can be a funny genre -- it even though it has bad things happening throughout there is this happy we are all in this together kind of feeling. But that is not what is great about Cara McKenna. She could write a really dark biker club book that would be so much better. But ah well.

5 stars for the first two. Maybe 3 for the third.

This is the time of year when we turn to comfort everything, it seems! Comfort food, comfort books, comfort authors...glad you enjoyed them, Regina!

[Regina]

so true! :)

[Tellulah]

Some great books to be checking out from you all. I love holiday downtime to read. :) Finished Not bad. Didn't blow me away. About to start I loved her Stray series so fingers crossed for this one.

[Kay]

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone (who celebrates) had a good thanksgiving. I haven't read anything for days. The last book I read took me 10 days to finish. Life has been busy for me and I hope to get back to reading again soon.I miss chatting with everyone and I hope everyone is well.

I just finished the second one, and it was still so good. I'm addicted to these two and I only have one left in the series!

[Courtney]

Finished , which was pretty decent and had some funny moments. Makes me want to read more sci-fi.

Starting .

I think I need to re-read that. I remember it being okay but not sure why I didn't like it more.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Ah... yours was one of the reviews I looked for to see if you'd read it but you must not have reviewed it.

I've been binge reading all of them, lol. I'm on the third now.

That's weird. I wonder why I didn't review it. Do they get more focused on romance - or does the mystery really stay at the heart of them?

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

The mystery's more the center. Only 2-3 sex scenes in each book. They kinda remind me of Psycop in the way that it's actually a cozy mystery series which happens to have a side story where two men reconnect, in the way that Psycop is more about the ghosts and mysteries and Jacob and Vic are just part of that story... if that makes sense.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Actually, I'm nearly halfway through the third one and it seems almost a little more JX/Kit oriented than the previous two, but no I wouldn't say it's a 'romance'. It's definitely a cozy mystery series. (I think that's what I like about it though, lol.)

Well, I re-read the first one and thought it was a ton of fun. Not sure what my problem was the first time unless I was looking for flat out romance or something.

[Dee]

I haven't read the Holmes & Moriarty ones, but fan of Adrien English

[Tellulah]

What are those books, Dee?

[Dee]

Fatal Shadows is the first one - also by Josh Lanyon - they are a mysteries series/lite romance with the same guys through-out - book 4 was a killer (IIRC) but it all ties up in bk 5

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I haven't read those yet but Adrien English pops up in the 3rd book of this series. I'll probably read those next, since I'll be out of Moriarity and Holmes books, haha.

I really like them. I'm glad you liked it Tellulah. You were the first person I thought of when I read the first one. :)

:) Thank you for reminding me of it.

[Regina]

I finished the I Hunt Killers trilogy and loved it -- great audio book too. I also just finished -- I love Edith Wharton.

I am reading - -I love her style.
And I am listening to but I am not sure about it yet.

[Courtney]

Finished . Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Started which I'm enjoying so far.

[Ian]

Have been so busy lately....and truth be told a little melancholy so have mostly retreated into myself when I have free time.

I've been reading the Frontier Magic series by Patricia C. Wrede which has some mixed reviews but I'm completely enamoured. (Word of the Day folks: Enamoured. Use it in a sentence). Magic, dragons, mammoths and the wild west. Love it.



Just finished Kindling the Moon which I quite liked. I'll probably move on to book two at some stage soon.



But have a short novella by Merry Farmer, Seeks for Her which I think will be a conservative romance set in the 1860s on the American frontier. Then it's on to a contemporary romance from Tracy Brogan, Love me Sweet.

[Courtney]

Finished which was pretty good.

Started .

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I just started . It's my first zombie novel, and I'm enjoying it so far.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Oh I just love how Fetter writes you should also try her As the World Dies series. Amazing!

[Tellulah]

Courtney wrote: "Finished which was pretty good.

I do love me those sweet filthy boys. :P The second book is just as good.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I've heard that! I'll add it to my list! :)

I was a little nervous starting it. I'm not exactly a zombie lover, but I really like it!

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Love Frater's As the World Dies series. :)

I'm checking out Sweet Filthy Boys... I like the cover!

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I snuck in the last half of this morning before work, and I'll probably read the next two in the serial this weekend.

[Regina]

[Regina]

Nobody likes zombies! I think what people like about post-apoc books is the setting of fear and limitation - and the author has to write, then what happens?

[Tellulah]

Had a blast reading this.

[Tellulah]

- whole heap o fun! kind of disappointing despite a great mythology and premise.

[Dee]

Finished - love Matt reilly's stuff because it is so far beyond the bounds of believable

[Tellulah]

*dancing around singing lalala* Just finished Love! I wasn't so big on Clean Sweep so I was somewhat hesitant to pick it up but based on this one book, I'm loving Nevada as much as Kate Daniels.

I really liked that one. Now I need to dive into the Kate Daniels world!

YES! And let me know what you think. I'm curious about how you feel about Kate, having started with Nevada.

That will be my next series once I finish reading Alpha & Omega and listening to Night Huntress! LOL

[Regina]

Wow! I can't wait to read this.

[Regina]

Angie, for Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega, the series intersect and you should start with Mercy -- do you know the time line?

[Regina]

Here is a list of the reading order:

http://www.hurog.com/forum/index.php?...

When you get to Alpha & Omega, you need to read the novella first

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I've already started Alpha & Omega. LOL I read the novella first, and now I've started the first full novel. I couldn't resist!
