That sounds good, I will read it this evening. Thank you KC!

I'm reading some fanfictions by SA Payne. It's in those moments that I understand I'm an optimist at heart. I don't want to criticise, but it should be telling that I can mention that they are poorly edited.

I'm reading it now, and was just thinking about how the blurb gave me a different wrong impression - I found the blurb intriguing and sort of funny, so i was expecting a lighter, more humorous read. It's very good, but for some reason I find myself adjusting my expectations as I read along, which feels strange because with all the previous Alexis Hall books it's been love at first sight and just more and more in love with the books. This one, I appreciate the writing, which is amazing as usual, but i find it more difficult to relate to the MCs. Still, an excellent read.

:-) Enjoy! I'm going to try another book by this author (she only has three), but it's not a mystery. Hopefully she'll write more mysteries.

Really? I definitely expected some emotional read.

It's very emotional, i agree. I will need something lighter before starting Harper Fox's Last Line, which i know for sure will be very intense, but also very good.
Can I propose Harper's Last Line 2 for BOM in July? :-)

I'll probably reread them in the first two weeks before the third one comes out as well. There's so many layers there and your perceptions of the characters change as you learn more of the story.
KC wrote: "Read this adorable mystery yesterday: The Glass-House Murder"Thank you for this rec -- I love historical m/m, especially mysteries. I am enjoying it, but I do wish a good editor had worked on it first. There is one really bad mistake quite early on, and something else I suspect is one.
But I am enjoying it because the characters are likeable and interesting!
I just finished reading Murder In The Rue Ursulines which is the 4th book in the Chanse Macleod mystery series set in New Orleans. The author has two series set in New Orleans and I am slowly making my way through both of them. I have also been reading some non-fiction. I recently finished reading Gay Widowers which is an excellent set of essays written by men who lost their husbands/partners. It emphasises the need to provide support for gay men who are grieving. It is a hopeful book and I wrote quite a long review because I enjoyed it so much. It really made me think. I am now reading Stonewall: Breaking Out in the Fight for Gay Rights and it is excellent. It is all about the Stonewall riots and how the riots helped further gay rights. It has some great pictures and some parts of it are funny. It is very informative especially the way it shows how the police were totally caught of guard. And to top everything off I am reading The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie. Quite a few of my friends have liked it and it is quite an enjoyable historical mf romance. I don't read much mf but I am enjoying this.

Glad you're enjoying it :-) Yes, I agree, but everything else was so good, i tried to ignore the little things and even the bigger thing(view spoiler); it's one of my favorite types of writing and story, i wish there were more like it. So please recommend if you come across similar ones :-)
KC wrote: "Read this adorable mystery yesterday: The Glass-House Murder"I love this type of mystery and the references to Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey series. Thanks for the recommendation, I grabbed it yesterday!

For a moment I thought you meant the audio book and I got all excited. *sigh* :-)

It was kind of cool thinking about the characters enjoying in their real time, books that I also enjoy now :-)

Sadly not yet. :( But the re-read is going well. I am taking my time this time. Been busy at work and I'm headed to Tulsa tomorrow to meet some customers. I'm excited about that.
Bruise the Black Sky by John Wiltshire this whole series is fantastic intense, dark,quirky and funny loved it.
Kim wrote: "Bruise the Black Sky by John Wiltshire this whole series is fantastic intense, dark,quirky and funny loved it."I've read the first three books of ''More Heat Than the Sun'' series and they are really good.
I thought I was missing two books, but I see now it is three more.

So, at least amz.de is not going with the hype: they just put it on for preorder and revealed the (very late) release date :-))

And every one well worth reading. John Wiltshire is a fantastic storyteller.
There are three books I've been waiting for what feels like forever. This one above, the third one in the Captive Prince series, Three degrees of Agony by Taylor V. Donovan and Not so Innocent by Dani Alexander, the sequel to Shattered Glass.
Ame wrote: "There are three books I've been waiting for what feels like forever. This one above, the third one in the Captive Prince series, Three degrees of Agony by Taylor V. Donovan and Not so Innocent by D..."Yeah, they're on my list too. Captive Prince 3 will be released this year, if I'm correct; Three degress of Agony I have no idea, but I would like to read it rather sooner than later; and does anybody know anything about SE Jakes next Prophet-book?
According to my Amazon link, the Captive Prince in Feb 2016. Taylor V. Donovan says Three degrees of Agony will be out later this year. Not so Innocent I have no idea.
Thanks. Then we'll just keep waiting.
Yes, the third volume of CP would have made for a nice autumn read, but no... Fortunately it is the only end of a series I am waiting for :-)

Wow, that does seem to be a pretty long lag time. I was expecting it to be sometime this fall.
Nothing like two sets of customers saying you are doing an excellent job. One of them are franchise owners with three stores, and the other is a hugely busy, high-profile restaurant.Feeling very happy right now.

Fantastic news! Make sure your managers know. Copy them in on your emails thanking the customers.

I'm reading some Jonathan Gregory, Nice People and the first Gemini and Flowers mystery, Country Life. There are typos and some things I thought were typos, but turned out to be Brit-isms.
So my question is: Is crutch a Brit version of crotch? It's been repeated several times in both books and is driving me a bit crazy. : )

According to the MacMillan Dictionary, it does indeed appear to be a British term. http://www.macmillandictionary.com/us...
This was something I'd never heard of. I think that would drive me batty as a reader too, especially if I didn't know about it ahead of time.
You may also find this blog interesting as it talks about British words and phrases that have been picked up by Americans. I found this while hunting down the answer to your question.

ETA: I found this explanation on Wikipedia, complete with a reference listing at the bottom so it could be true:

Exactly my thought.
Finished my re-read of Stranger on the Shore. Now for a change of pace a bit, I am continuing the Lessons series with Lessons in Seduction by Charlie Cochrane. They are historial mysteries set in the Edwardian period England. Lovely stories. I love Jonty and Orlando.

Because I pre-ordered it, I get it a day early (love this bonus from Riptide).
I read the first several in a row and then took a break. Now I want to read more. I'm in the mood for them right now.
