Great to know, Joy. I've already got Lover Eternal selected to read for part of my November challenge in Romance Readers Challenge Group.

I like this one so far. I'm only about a quater of the way thru it, so still at the beginning.

Just picked up The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #2) by Laurell K. Hamilton which I will be starting tonight. Can't wait!

Marisa (psyko_kittie12) | 398 comments I am reading Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife by Sam Savage. It is definatly an interesting take on things. I am not too far into the book so I have not ad time to make a really good opinion yet.

LOL Thats how I felt, so I'm reading Tempt Me at Twilight by Lisa Kleypas. :)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Decided to read The Quickie - James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge.


message 709: by Jackie M (new)

Jackie M | 452 comments I finally finished Covet and I am now starting The Van Alen Legacy.

It has been taking me forever to finish a book lately now that I am back to work full time and it doesn't help that I work overnight.


message 710: by Barbara (new)

Barbara (moochgoddess) | 92 comments Joy, I can't start a series in the middle, so I am going to do the other group read. My aunt gave me two Patterson books. Fluffy, but fun. It is true that vampires are uber popular right now and a small break is needed to get all my stories straight. Which one has venom? Who do you have to bite three times? Moroi? Dhampir?


message 711: by Deb (new)

Deb (Devorah) | 17 comments I'm reading "The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner. It's really a good murder mystery.


message 712: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 1 comments I just finished Tempted by P.C. and Kristin Cast, and I must say I did enjoy it. Although I was rather let down by such an obvious error being made in the book! The switched persons in one chapter constantly, one second the author referred to Zoe as "she" and the next as themself! Very confusing and an amateur mistake. I expected more of them


message 713: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Will finish The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown & The Quickie - James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge today

I know what you mean about having trouble keeping all the different types of vamps from different series straight. It can be exhausting, but it's always nice when an author provides you with a different type of vampire than you'd expect. It spices things up a bit. :)
I'm on chapter 21 of Tempt Me at Twilight, and I'm enjoying it. I've already read the previous books in the series though, so it isn't an issue for me...I have to wait to read Halfway to the Grave, because I don't own it. I'll probably pick it up at a used bookstore soon. :)


message 715: by new_user (new)

new_user I agree, Joy. :)

SoBeA (sobe1982) | 39 comments Been waiting the better part of a year for this one : Queen of Song and Souls which I started as soon as I got the package ripped open (yesterday). Up next, I just got Nora's new book, Bed of Roses in the mail today, then after that, if Fed Ex would hurry up, I've got Stephanie Lauren's Untamed Bride to read.

So many books I've been on tenterhooks waiting for, all decided to come out at once! No complaints though, I can't seem to stop grinning :)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Now I am going to listen to Red Dragon - Thomas Harris.


message 718: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Just finished listening to Red Dragon - Thomas Harris and now I am listening to The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris.


message 719: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Just finished listening to The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris. In the morning I will listen to Hannibal - Thomas Harris.


message 720: by BJ Rose (new)

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 360 comments Just finished Pearl Harbor A Novel of December 8th. Very intense (no surprise there), so won't be reading book two, Days of Infamy, for a while. And I don't think I'm up for Shutter Island right now either, so I'm going for A Game Of Chance.

J.D. Stroube | 2393 comments Mod
I can't decide what to read next. I'm debating between two different historical romance novels, and a YA book. Not in the mood for anything more serious...


message 722: by [deleted user] (new)

I just finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and truly enjoyed the book. It will not be the last Gaiman book that I'll be reading. ♥

I'm currently reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore.

Changed my mind already.

The Girl Who Played with Fire came in from the library yesterday, so i've started that instead.


message 724: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) Started Stargazer this morning. I'm at the library now and they have Dreamfever waiting for me! I'm excited!


message 725: by Pollyanna (new)

Pollyanna (polly8) I am currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife and have nearly finished it. I have found it quite a easy read but parts of it are too vulgar for my liking.

stormhawk | 1184 comments Lit A Memoir - Mary Karr

Won it from FirstReads. Not sure how I'll like it. I deal with too many alcoholics stuck in between Steps 4 and 5. Actually, I deal with a lot of alcoholics who have trouble making it to Step 1, much less climb any of the others.


message 727: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Last month in the bath I started The Comfort of Strangers - Ian McEwan so I will carry on reading that today as its only 100 pages. Then I will read Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins.

Let me know what you think of it! I keep meaning to stop at Barnes and Noble to buy it, but haven't gotten around to it yet...

Susanna (jb_slasher) About to start Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys.

Adrienne | 286 comments Jo enjoy. This was the first vampire story I ever,ever read and remember loving it, so atmospheric and beautifully written. I think I may still have a copy of it somewhere:). I read the some of the subsequent books too but kind of fell out of love with them as a series. Anways. I'm reading A Taste of Honey or the cover which is verrrrry attractive A Taste of Honey (Aphrodisia) by Jami Alden well hell it is when you can actually see it:)


message 731: by Marisa (new)

Marisa (psyko_kittie12) | 398 comments I just read the first two books in The Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine and now I am reading Squite which is the 3rd book in the Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce.

(still reading Lit: A Memoir, but Wire in the Blood is way more interesting.)

Elvia (elvb) Started Dreamfever yesterday and love it so far!


message 734: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) I started Graceling last night.

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 360 comments Things are really happening in The Girl Who Played with Fire, and I stayed up much too late last night caught up in the search.

I need to know how you are reading 3 books in one day.

I haven't been disappointed in Patterson's books. Great mysteries and I always seem to like the characters. I've read few but I would recommend them.

Anne Started reading A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1). I really like what I've read so far.

stormhawk | 1184 comments The Last Temptation - Val McDermid

(if you liked Thomas Harris' Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs, etc., you should enjoy the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan mysteries.)


message 741: by BJ Rose (new)

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 360 comments Finished - and loved! - The Girl Who Played with Fire. Also read Shutter Island and liked it more than I expected to. But after those two books, I'm 'de-toxing' with Janet Chapman's Highlander time-travel series.

Lisa | 617 comments Just finished The Golden Notebook, still pondering what to think about it though and whether or not I liked it.
I think I'll start Lolita next.

message 750: by Ellen (new)

Ellen (ellenpenleysmith) Okay, well since my last update I have read: Blood Promise. I have tried to read The Host, but I spent 4weeks trying to get past the beginning. I got up to about page 80-100 and got bored of it. I will try to read it again. And I am reading Succubus Blues on my laptop!
