Devil Take Me just arrived on my computer.

Aargh! I'm chronically late with my reads.

[Ame]

Weren't there some talk of Three Men in a Boat earlier? On the topic of Jerome K. Jerome, I recommend The New Utopia, amazing short story written as a critizism on socialism and the ideology that everyone should be equal but for me it is also powerful and cynic telling of facism and dictatorship where free mind and free thinking are the most dangerous tools one can have.

Looking forward to this one. New Ginn Hale, new Jordan Castillo Price, and new Jordan L. Hawk all in one place! :)

Oh good. Thanks! I'll hang in!

[Jordan]

I also just started Love Lessons in audiobook. I've not read or listened to this series before, so we'll see how it goes. :-)

I hope you enjoy it, Jordan! It's one of my most favourite series. The audiobook didn't work for me, unfortunately. Hopefully it will work for you! :)

I managed to transfer it manually on my Kindle. I'm going to bed some 3 hours earlier than usual to read ;-).

I know so many of you have enjoyed it. So far the audio is pretty good. It's helpful because I'm currently making a lot of buttons for NaNoWriMo in November, so this is a great thing to listen to while making buttons. :-)

Funny. I just finished relistening to it for the 10th time probably. I adore this series and Iggy Toma's narration so I hope you enjoy it. Some find the second one lacking but I think it's more that the first story is so good. Third one in the series is also awesome, Elijah Prince is just adorable.

I've not been listening to audiobooks much lately, so we'll see what happens when I finish this one. I still have several others I've not listened too since I got them a long time ago. lol.

[Jordan]

I've finally gotten into the mystery of Object of Desire. OMG. So, yeah, I'm hooked. :-D

[Alison]

I read Band Sinister and it is glorious! I started last night and finished this morning because I could not part with it. KJ Charles never ceases to amaze me. I am not a re-reader in general, but I'm wondering if I should just start right at the beginning again tonight. This book is a beautiful thing. Definitely one of my top favourite things I've read this year.

What annoys me most about this is that I just don't seem to have the time to sit down with this book for a couple of hours. It's a really long book, which is both a blessing and a very minor curse. lol.

I knew this one would turn around and I'd love it. Or, at least, I was hoping the character could redeem himself, and maybe his friends. :-) He's getting there.

He's getting there is a good description. :-)
And I understand you perfectly in regards to long book being a blessing and a curse. :-D I think this one doesn't lend itself to being read in bits and pieces. It needs longer sittings to really delve into it, yes?

Let the fact that I'm a Mclean stan not colour your judgement of my opinion but Object of Desire was AMAZEBALLS

Mwanamali wrote: "Jordan wrote: "Just started Object of Desire over the weekend. Honestly, if it wasn't for the author, this is a book I would skip, primarily because I'm not into models. lol. So far..."

yes. Her first book was also AMAZEBALLS, which is how I knew this one would be too. I'm just wicked happy it's just as good as I'd expected it to be. I'm really going to push for it to be on our list.

[Ame]

I spent this lovely Saturday morning readingPisces Hooks Taurus, it was so lovely. Perfect fluffy weekend read.

What I love most about Dal is that her characters are such a charming complicated people consisting of both good and bad, foolishness and kindness, selfishness but also with lots of love to give. Just fantastic character writer.

[Jordan]

Cancelled my plans for the day so I could spend it in bed with Object of Desire. Sooo glad I did! This might give me a bit of a book hangover. I can’t believe it’s over. I loved it so much!

[Susinok]

I am listening to Risky Behavior by Cari Z. and L.A. Witt. It is a cop book and it is SO GOOD! I'm dying that I'm at work and can't finish it up. Down to 3 chapters... argh!

Solid cop thriller/mystery. Narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo. SO GOOD!

[WMD]

Okay...
Finished The Devil Take You Anthology. Loved it, rich well written stories with mm elements. Some creepy, some devil as hero...some a little silly.
Finished Zero Hour, a re-issue, I think, from Jordan Castillo Price. Post apocalypse in which the religion isn't quite what it seems. Loved it, mm romance a strong theme among others.
Finished Pisces Hooks Taurus, Anyta Sunday. A light and easy romance, good story.
Also Nothing More Certain, a short story by R.C. Cooper in her Familiar spirits series. Likable characters, neat magical town...very simple sweet tale.

[SamSpayedPI]

I've been sticking to a Halloween theme this week. Darkling wasn't grabbing me, so after a few pages (I'm sure I'll return to it someday) I switched to The Well which I really enjoyed, and then on to Spindrift which I loved. I'm now moving on to A Frost of Cares, while reading snatches of Shirley Jackson and Something Wicked This Way Comes as the spirits move me [so to speak].

[Susinok]

Listening to Color of You by C.S. Poe. So far so good.

[KC]

Reading atm:
- Bones - good stories by Kim Fielding and Eli Easton, and I have two more in the anthology, by Jamie Fessenden and B.G. Thomas. So far it's better than the first volume.

- a new-to-me mystery author - Greenwich Killing Time. There's potential, but I haven't decided yet...

- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. The first half was excellent. The second (i'm at 70%) a bit less, but i think it's because i'm not sure how i feel about what's happening. In any case, it's very good.

I love Kinky!

But his books are definitely not for everyone.

Zero Hour was really good! I like the original cover better though. I remember having a discussion with JCP about it, that with the print book the cover wrapped all the way around, so you got more cover, than you would have with the ebook. :-) I need to reread that one someday.

[KC]

I finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. It left me...sad, pretty much. Well, that's simplifying it, because there are still lots of thoughts and feelings about the characters and situations, and a sense of helplessness as well. But, I really liked the way the perspective gradually shifts from a limited point of view to understanding events and emotions in the larger context. I thought that was very well done.

[KC]

Read Bones. It was good, could've been better, and I decided to try the next two as well: Claw and Spirit.
It also made me want to rewatch Coco, which is a lovely movie.

I loved Coco. Such a gorgeous film.

[Jordan]

If anyone is reading Enemies of the State, our BOM topic is now open for discussion!

[Alison]

I read EE Ottoman's newest--The Craft of Love--the other day and it's lovely. It's a quiet, gentle, low-key queer historical romance where two craftspeople find each other in 19th century New York. Just lovely.

[Ame]

Eli Easton's Boy Shattered is just ❤

Starting Cronin's Key by NR Walker.

I've been meaning to try one of her books for ages, but what really decided me (and this is a commentary on the positives of attending conferences) was chatting with her at dinner one night. I liked her very much--thought she was pleasantly down to earth and had a good sense of humor--and so I thought I'd give this particular series a whirl (MUMMIES). :-D

Oh, that's so good to hear! I did enjoy her Red Dirt Heart series. Though, probably the first more than the others.

[Jordan]

I've just started Euphoria, which is about a non-binary alien who is looking to save mankind, and falls for a scientist who is not a people person.

[Jordan]

Just a super cool FYI: Josh has chosen our December read!!!

We will read this vintage Christmas mystery collection: Crimson Snow: Winter Mysteries.

And I just have to say, I love the title. Can't wait to dive into this one next month!

I read the first in the Cronin's Key series but vampires aren't really my thing so I pace myself (don't tell anyone I just finished writing a vampire Christmas coda for the Advent Calendar). I really really really liked The Weight of it All and the Imago series and Red Dirt Heart.....oh, and Switched.

I’ve read a dozen of her books and this is the only one that didn’t work for me at all. So if it’s the same for you, l hope you try another. :)

[SamSpayedPI]

I enjoyed N.R. Walker's Spencer Cohen series (Spencer Cohen, Book One); I'm not sure I read much else. Imago was sort of cute.

Haldis, I was just about to make almost this exact same comment. Cronin's Key--meh. But the Red Dirt Heat series is my favorite and the Imago series is great, too.

Wonderful. This sounds definitely promising and the book can also be found in e-format, so that's great.

ETA: Although I ended up ordering it as paperback, cause I really like the cover. :-D

I listened to the audios on that series. They were fun, and I really enjoyed them. Love the Red Dirt Heart series. Oklahoma is called Red Dirt, so when I picked up the first one I thought it was set here.
