Shannon (theholyterror) | 132 comments Well, I'll contribute what I'm reading. I worked the last 7 nights in a row so I've been kind lazy with my reading this week. I've got 3 books going currently although only 2 are paranormal reads.

The Coven Book Two (Sweep) by Cate Tiernan Sunshine by Robin McKinley

The Coven Book Two has kind of been put on the backburner while I try to finish the historical fiction book I started in April. I like this series so far, it reminds me of when I was in High School a bit so I can relate. I don't read a lot of witchy books so this was a nice change of pace too. I'll get back to it probably sometime this weekend.

I also sort of started Sunshine but I've gotten discouraged with all the negative reviews. : (
I think I'll either read it this month or it'll end up in the pile to sell on eBay.

Oh, no, I don't have it yet. But I'll let you know. Everyone seems to be loving the book.

Heather Brewster | 28 comments Just finishing up larrisa iones passion unleashed. I really like this series. http://media.photobucket.com/image/pa...


ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) I'm starting G. Norman Lippert's sequel, James Potter and the Curse of the Gate Keeper. I liked his first one James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing. I just wish I had somewhere to read an ebook other than to sit at the pc. For a 400 page book...

I just started Faerie Tale by Raymond Feist and am loving it so far. It's actually pulling me away from my other book, Gale Force, which I am also REALLY enjoying. Life's hard when you have to make the decision of which book to read between two great books!


message 162: by Lily (new)

Lily (lilithesque) How funny, I have in my pile of library books before me both Gale force (which keeps getting pushed back by new arrivals) and Faery Tale by Feist.

I am about to sit down with Gale force and am really trying to not even crack Feists book. I already know I like other things he wrote so I am looking forward to it and hearing you rave is making it harder!
Those two books are on the top of the pile, followed by:

I also have Thinner
Night Rising
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Dayhunter
Agents of Light and Darkness


message 163: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) I am currently reading Fledgling.
I just finished Undead and Unwelcomeand will be starting Skin Trade and Once Dead, Twice Shy. I am busy this coming weekend but I will use the excuse that I'm sick so I can finish my books. *cough* ;)


message 164: by Lily (new)

Lily (lilithesque) Elvia,

I LOVE Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler !!!



It is in my top 20 books ever! I like the way she writes about race, prejudism, gender issues, and asks us to quesstion society in ways that in no way detract from a magiclly compelling tale. I mean it is easy to read.

Anyway let us know what you think when your done.

We lost a master when Ms. Butler died!!

I think this is a classic.

What did you think of UNDEAD & UNWELCOME? After it and the one b/4 it, I'm not going to be in any hurry to read future books in the series. I'll be interested to hear what you think about SKIN TRADE & ONCE DEAD, TWICE SHY. After SKIN TRADE I will not be suckered into another Anita Blake book. I liked ONCE DEAD, TWICE SHY well enough to read another in the series when it comes out.



message 166: by Lily (new)

Lily (lilithesque) Oh my gosh, books are just rolling in from the library. I am so torn! So many books!!.

Just in:
Skin Trade, The Road, Street Magic, Second Skin

I need steely control to keep to the books I am already reading.




message 167: by Shanon (new)

Shanon (boban) | 1166 comments Mod
I haven't read Street Magic or Second Skin but I read both The Road & Skin Trade last month. Skin Trade was good - kind of a return to the first Anita books. The Road was excellent! No paranormal elements but a real creepy read. If you're in the mood for a dark book I can't think of many darker.


message 168: by [deleted user] (new)

Lily - Read Street Magic first. It's awesome!


message 169: by Adrienne (new)

Adrienne I have Witch Blood and When Darkness Comes to read.


message 170: by Melodie (new)

Melodie (melodieco) Finished Uninvited by Amanda Marrone and started Immortal Love Stories with Bite by P.C. Cast last night. I liked UNINVITED, it has a bad vampire and was a bit of a dark story. I kind of saw myself in the main character if a were teenager now. Liked both of the first 2 stories in IMMORTAL.

Heather Brewster | 28 comments So I was on Larrisa Ione's page and she says that Sydney Croft has a good series. So I'm going to try them the first book is Riding the Storm, has anybody read them? So Im wondering if my library thinks I'm weird I'm in there everyday and I always leave with a book. I guess I have a stock pile too.

I've read every one of the books in this series and I have no idea why. I haven't liked a single one of them and Jenks is the only character I like.

How was

Demon Mistress. I was eying it at the library when I went to pick up my reserved books. (the put the new releases right there in the front.

It was a serious act of controll not to get it, but I have so many good books right here, I said no, for now.

I finished Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist last night and completely enjoyed it. It was a great creepy read with lots of old fairy tales/stories mixed in. I'm going to find more things by Feist to read!

I have been on waiting list at the library for several books - they all came in at once so now I have the daunting task of choosing which order to read them in...

Bridge of Birds A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was
Black and White
Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side

I'm thinking Brige of Birds first - there's a HUGE waiting list for it and that way I can pass it along faster. BUT I've been waiting for Black & White for a while & Jessica's Guide is our group read! Decisions, decisions...


message 181: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kathry) Bridge of Birds if one of the best fantasy stories I have ever read and I need to get my hands on Black and White, especially if you end up enjoying it.


message 182: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (theholyterror) | 132 comments I'm reading Skin Trade (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #17) by Laurell K. Hamilton right now. Dare I say that there might actually be a plot in this one? It feels like old Anita Blake with smatterings of new Anita Blake idiosyncrasies. We'll see how things go I guess ...

Demon Mistress wasn't my favorite book in the series but I still enjoyed it. I felt that Menolly was shorted in this book.

Susan (Suz) (sharney) I'm currently reading Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #4) by J.R. Ward , i'm totally loving BDB Series!


message 186: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) I'll be finishing up Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) tonight then it's on to either Like A Charm or Hunted. I couldn't find Hunted last night so I started Frostbite instead. I have about 10 more books coming my way probably today form the library so I'll be overwhelmed for a bit. I think my husband already thinks I neglect him! :)

I loved that series. There's so much going on that I bet you are able to pick up on new little details in every re-read.


message 193: by Melodie (new)

Melodie (melodieco) I read the first 3 Harry Potter books and then lost interest. I tried reading the 4th because my niece insisted, but just could never finish it. I liked the first 3 so don't know what happened.


message 194: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kathry) Melodie, at least you've read the first 3. I have never picked up the series. I have the first 4 but I just haven't been in the mood for another long series. Sometimes I feel like the only person who hasn't read them.

The first 2 are actually kinda slow. She has to introduce you to her wizarding world and all her characters in the first book. By the 3 & 4th she's really getting her plot rolling. My favorites are 3 thru 6. Give them another try. You don't have to read them all at once. Those of us reading them as they came out had to wait years between books. (I didn't start reading them til the first movie came out.) I avoided reading them at first simply because they were popular. That didn't mean they were good. But after I saw the first movie, I wanted to read the book and the books are so much better than the movies which have to leave so much out. The author got better the more she wrote, and she could do more with the characters as they aged.


message 196: by Jessi (new)

Jessi  (jessim) I am reading [image error] and so far I'm not to sure about it. It is starting kinda slow for me, I hope it gets better.
