What Are you Reading?
For those who follow the Jamie Brodie Mysteries by Meg Perry, book 4, Researched to Death, is now out at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Researched-Deat...I just grabbed it, and hope to read it soon. (I have my Team Bingo book of The Auspicious Troubles of Chance to read first...)
The Boy Who Came In From the ColdI've been reading a few B.G. Thomas books lately and i'm enjoying them, there's something good and sweet about them, with a dash of angst, but light too, and sometimes cute or funny.

I like BG's work quite a lot myself. I really enjoyed Boy Who Came in From the Cold.

Gotcha, on the review groupings. Yea, some people spend way too much time on their reviews,and it gets too intense. I don't have any gif obsessed people in my line of reference, so I am lucky that way. Most of the people in my line are joy readers, not serious reviewers. 8)

I just finished Superhero by Eli Easton, the third one I've read by her and she is fast becoming one of my favorite writers. Her writing style is so good and really appeals to me. I guess I have to start looking into more books by her. BTW Allromancebooks now have the feature that allows you to send books straight to your Kindle. Yes.... it's the little things that make me happy ;)

I guess I have ..."I enjoyed Superhero quite a lot, too. Eli's a consistent writer. I've liked all the stories I've read by her.
I've just finished Fish and Ghosts. Really enjoyed it. The whole ghostly storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm hoping it will be the first of a series.In the meantime I've got several of Rhys Ford's books in my to be read pile. Time to dust them off I think.
FYI, Eli Easton posted a free (rather long) Sherlock fan fiction The Great Sex Olympics of 221B that you can download from her web site.

I'm late to the party, but I enjoyed The Magpie Lord. I'm keeping the second part as a reward for when I've finished my edits.

By the way, you all said that Butterfly Hunter is a lovely, beautiful story, but how come you forgot to mention that it's also sexy as hell! Sweet and sexy — oh yeah... ;-)
I'm reading A Case of Posession (A Charm of Magpies) now and loving it.

Working on it. In fact, I just loaded up on carbs and coffee to work for the next, uhm, eight hours or so on it. (Have to get up early tomorrow for my job-redundancy-related coaching session at 9:00 in Central London though. Bah! I have my best ideas when I'm semi-coherent from lack of sleep.)

It's a lovely book. I enjoyed it so much. I gather there is to be a third one, so that's good news. :)
Thank you. :) Yes, there will be a third one - it's the thing I'm currently breaking my head against. (All for the good of the reader, so all worth it, but godsdamnit, it's a struggle.) I'd be super-grateful for a short review on Amazon from anybody who's read it (doesn't have to be a positive review - just a review would be amazing.)
The Truth about Riley by Henrietta Clarke. It is so poignant. I love it. Riley has a scarred face from a fire and hasn't had a relationship in three years. He and Cameron begin a telephone romance. it's beautiful.
I'm going to reread this (again) since it was just uploaded to Amazon and I don't have to read it online anymorehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
I love that series, so much fun and WTF :D

Oh no! ANOTHER good series? How can I ever keep up?
Seriously, this looks like something I would really like. Thanks! *adds the first book to her WAY too long reading list*

Hope you enjoy it :)
Oh, it's fade to black sex, but you can find the sexxin here, under lacunae http://mchandler.org/sott/ (and read the books for free online)
Oooh, the Shadow of the Templar series! One of my first m/m experiences, and such good fun. Remember to start with The Morning Star.

And Ethan

The sequel will be next and then getting back to Dave Brandstetter I think.

I haven't found it anywhere. :( I read the first two LA books and have LA Boneyard in my collection, but haven't read it yet because it stops there. So far.

She is absolutely gracious. In 2008 I bought directly from her one of her ebooks because it wasn't available for Mac.

read Boneyard... it's the best of the lot. Good crime story, good drama, whole lot of angst. Not perfect I really did like it.

OMG really? I got 'em! Finally!

They weren't there last year, but I hope they will be this year. Not like I need more print books or anything...

Boats in the Night
Not exactly a sequel, but it involves more boats!
Just finished Researched to Death, book 4 in the Jamie Brodie Mysteries, and really enjoyed it. It's a fun series to follow, and I'm really stuck on the characters now after four books. (It's more raw than Josh's work, but a fun read.)

Destroyer of Worlds - if you guys aren't reading this series, you are SO missing out. Crazy exciting, crazy romantic, just really fabulous and a whole new twist on the vampire thing (WAY better than the sparkle twist, trust me!)
Aargh! I don't want to hear anymore about interesting looking books! ;-)BTW also Widdershins and sequels should be good, so I've heard at least...
Mod
Widdershins didn't HAVE to have sequels, but they are an amazing addition :) I'm just so crazy in love with Jordan L. Hawk at this point I can't recommend her books highly enough.
Cris wrote: "Widdershins didn't HAVE to have sequels, but they are an amazing addition :) I'm just so crazy in love with Jordan L. Hawk at this point I can't recommend her books highly enough."Totally agree. The Widdershins and SPECTR series are both excellent, and she plans long term, so they're going somewhere, not just spinning out. Her standalone Hainted is also a good paranormal.

I finished
a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I wish there were more books in that series. I always feel bereft when I come to the end of a good series. I am reading
which is the last in the Tom/Stanley detective series by Victor J. Banis. I have really enjoyed this series. Not having to work at the moment has given me so much time to read and although I am also job hunting it is so nice to be able to read as much as I want to. I recently finished
by Rick R. Reed. This is a romance but it also has a kind of dark feel to it, very different to some of his recent stories. It does have a happy ending and it is also low angst, so quite clever in the way in which it managed to be a bit tense in places. I am going to read the sequel once I finish The Lodestar of Ys by Amy Rae Durreson
Mod
Thank you for the recommendation, Cris! :-)
And about Widdershins — that one I actually have on audio already! I think it was Jordan who was listening to that maybe a month ago and I bought it based on her recommendation. :-) I haven't had a chance to start listening to it yet, though, because I'm having a serious Adrien and Jake phase right now. ;-)
I just finished Shaking the Sugar Tree by Nick Wilgus and it was absolutely wonderful. So, so good. Best book I've read in a long time. Funny and sad, but not overly angsty, and very Southern. “I don’t think I want to visit your house anymore.”
“Sometimes neither do I.”
“And your grandfather….”
“Leave my Papaw alone.”
“He’s crazy.”
“We don’t hide crazy,” I said. “We put it on the porch and let it entertain the neighbors.”
Mod
Yup, that was probably me. :-) Glad I was able to influence you. Just be prepared for monsters in the dark!

I grew up with constant criticism and negativity and many, many times it rubs me just wrong. I'm plenty critical myself, but I don't feel the need to share that with everyone. :)
