[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and liked it even better than the first book, maybe because it was more sci-fi than pnr this time.

I have a couple of partly-finished books in progress. (my curiosity to read a book with sounding lead me to this)

It is and the characters are great. It has made me look at BDSM in a totally different way. I love the dom/sub relationships in this series.

[Lori]

Quick check-in... my sister is in a regular room and is doing well. But they're already talking about sending her to a rehab facility. She can walk with help, but she's still got a long at to go.

Regina, willing to process any advice that you're willing to give. Inbox here works. Hospital has Wi-Fi.

Thanks to all for he love, support, and kind wishes. My BIL is talking to a personal injury lawyer, but still. Lots to set through. And the driver made bail and might be balk in CA already.

I'll try to check in again soon. Been so exhausted and still have my nieces.

Love to all.

[Lori]

Sheesh for autocorrect. Hope you can parse my message. Lots to get thru and do.

[Regina]

Thank you for updating. So relieved she has been moved to regular, but so sad that she has a long road. Ugh that he is out on bail. I will message you some thoughts to consider for your BIL.

[Marcella]

Thanks for the update Lori. So happy to hear that your sister is on the mend.

[Tellulah]

I started and am loving Marcella, I'm thinking of you since you got me hooked on the series! :)

I am so happy you are enjoying the book and you give me credit for you jumping on the RC bandwagon. I look forward to the group read we are doing so we can talk about our favorite bad ass mother*ckers. Ha ha!

[Lisa]

Have been away on a long weekend, with no cell service or internet so now trying to catch-up.
@Lori - how awful! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister and her family.

I just finished and feeling a bit...what's the word...dazed? I almost didn't finish it because how it made me feel - a bit sick and caused some nightmares. No, it's not a scary book - it's dark and twisted. And I was surprised it affected me like it did, at the beginning. But I stuck with it and sorta glad I did. Kinda. Now I need an uplifting, funny book. FAST!

[Tellulah]

Okay, I'm 26% in to and it just jumped the shark so freaking badly that I'm not sure I can even keep reading. I'm so annoyed by this story direction! Grrrr!!

[Marcella]

Well that's discouraging Tellulah. Now I'm worried.

Oh ... I remember that episode.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Lori, so glad to hear about your sister. Thanks for updating us.

I finished . Now i'm going to read, about 7% into it and i'm not thrilled about the choppy feeling and the back and forth between past/present.

I'm also going to start to review.

[Kay]

Glad things are looking up for your sister, Lori.

I finished which I didn't like. I also finished the audio to which was so fun and sexy.

I can imagine how overwhelmed this has to be. Thanks for taking a second to let us know how you're doing.

I finished and ended up liking it, in spite of how intense the love story started out as. I think the journey of the characters and their personal self-discoveries far outweighed some of the awkwardness.

I'm glad your sister is doing better, Lori! What a devastating situation for your family. The fear, anger, and relief have to be emotionally draining. Prayers to you and your family!

[Marcella]

Finished and now continuing with .

[Ian]

Just started Homecoming Ranch by Julia London. Never read anything by her before but I found an ad from Writespace in my e-mail this afternoon and thought I would give it a go. Not too bad so far...what you would expect from Contemporary Romance...not overly challenging but quite well written.



I kind of think the cover is a disaster. The best covers give a good sense of the book, immediately communicate with the target market and catch the eye. This cover is a little too tricky and I don't know if it does any of those things.

To my way of thinking, Heart of Venom has about the best cover I've seen in the past couple of months.

[Lori]

Stacia, how is your mom doing? Better, I hope.

Think I might get a few breaths in today... or I hope so. Not sure what the rehab center is like or what lies ahead of us there. But my sister-in-law (my brother-in-law's sister) who was my roommate before my sister was married and is still a really good friend will be back home in Vegas tomorrow. It'll be good to have her here.

Any recommendations for light-hearted reading to take my mind off things? The Night Huntress stuff isn't doing it, nor is any of the erotica I tried to read. I might try another Highlander or just go back to the tried-and-true Outlander.

Thanks again for all your support and love.

[Lisa]

Lori - glad you'll be getting a bit of a break and some support with your friend's arrival. Some of my fav light reads that have humor are: and which are both excellent audiobooks that I think are best in that format. Although, listening to Bossypants, Tina Fey will refer you to photos that I missed seeing but otherwise it was great listening to her with LOTS of laughs. And you can listen with half an ear some of the time.

A light fun dragon series that I liked is and I read all the side series also. Katie MacAlister has also written a fun stand-alone which I bought mainly for the cover and the title but it turned out to be a fun read.

[Carina]

Lori, I'm so sorry this happened to your sister. I'm glad to see she's doing better and on a path to recovery.
Stay strong sweetie. You're are such an awesome person for helping out the way you have been and being there for your family.
I'll be praying for only good things for you and yours from now on!

Leann Sweeney writes some cute murder mysteries...Cats in Trouble series. You've read one, you've read them all but they're fairly light. For more information about the cats, ask Stacia.

Lingerie Wars was good fun. Might be worth a look. I enjoyed Neanderthal Seeks Human. If you feel like an historical romance, The Dukes Tattoo is great. Or for something more paranormal romance, anything by Molly Harper.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Lori, she's still in the hospital. Progress is slow-going. I haven't had much new to report, unfortunately. :(

Ian wrote: "I kind of think the cover is a disaster. ..."

All I see is a family dinner waiting to happen. Do they eat a lot in the book?

I just finishe..."

Lisa -- did you read my review? I'd love to discuss the book with you. Your reaction is pretty similar to my thoughts.

Oh I don't know if Bernadette is light? It is super duper funny, but it deals with a heavy topic right? Or am I over analyzing it?

I wonder if maybe a genre shift? I agree with Ian, try anything by Molly Harper. I love the Bad Day series by Sophie Littlefield -- crime fiction mixed in with funny characters (no real romance though, just crushes):

But I want that view from my kitchen! :)

[Regina]

I finished both and

Ian what did you think of Hero? I liked it better than #2, but I didn't love it. I did enjoy it though.

I am serious, my pillow was freaking soaked with my tears when I finished Me Before You.

I am reading which is a huge genre shift, it is an arc but was released this week so I gotta get on it. I am liking it so far but am only in the beginning. And I am listening to I need to read as it was released this week and I have the arc -- but only just got it. I liked some of the previous books in this series, but I do have issues with them.

by R.L. Mathewson (99 cents ebook) Funny like Laurenston

by Molly Harper

by Jennifer Crusie

by Julia Quinn ... Verbal sparring, competitive sports (mallet of death)

[Tellulah]

I love so very very much. I'd add that is a ton of fun as well.

[Lisa]

@Regina - Perhaps you're right about - the subject matter may not be on the light side even though it has really funny moments. So Lori, forget that recommendation. Now is probably not a good time to read that one. Sorry :) But I agree about any of Molly Harper books - they're wonderfully light and hilarious. I love them all.

Sure, Regina, I'd love to discuss (that's the one you're talking about, right?). Lori - do NOT read that one now!! Very dark and twisted. Regina - just tell me where - GR message or a thread? AND, OMG, affected me the same way, except I didn't sob into my pillow. I went thru a box of tissues and finally a towel then had puffy eyes. Man.

[Lori]

Thanks for all the recommendations. Checking them out tonight. My BIL is actually going home to sleep tonight, and he wants his daughters with him. So I'm getting a break and a night alone - I think I'm happy about that - LOL!

I do have Gone Girl, but I definitely won't read it right now.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Lori, was another funny read if that's what you are still looking for.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Wendy, we HAVE to add the Bad day series to our upcoming buddy reads. I really really want to read it :)

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Which one is the Bad Day series?! Off to look it up!

(Um, on another note, Regina just alerted me that Psycop 7 is coming out! YAHOOOOO!!!! I'm more excited about this release than almost any other!)

[Leea, Escape Artist]

This series!!

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I added it to my 'leea buddy read' shelf! It looks good!

Fire and Ash should deliver to my house today or tomorrow (hopefully today) so I'm reading that one first.

After that we can pick something to read togeter?

[Regina]

This is the first

Is that number 3 or 4 Wendy? I haven't read #3 as the audio productions stopped with 2.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

That's number 4, brand new released yesterday.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I mean Tuesday.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Thanks Regina!

Wendy you HAVE to read Littlefield's other series, . It's one of my favorites!!

I may have to put it's just not holding my attention...

I'm sorry to hear that, Leea. I've heard that a few times. Not a good sign for the final book of a series. :(

[Kay]

I started listening to just so I can see what all the fuss is about. I also started reading .

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I've been wanting too! I'm getting close to ready for another adult Zombie book.

[Lisa]

Wendy, have you read yet?

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

No, not yet. I've only read the first book so far. Did you read it?

[Ian]

Lisa wrote: "Wendy, have you read yet?"

I wasn't as impressed with White Trash Zombie Apocalypse as I was with the first two. Seemed a bit like a victory lap...or maybe a set-up for the next story arc. A lot of things going on that didn't really matter.
