Anita Reads | 595 comments I finished these books:
The Murder Pit (A Moose River Mystery Book 1) by Jeff Shelby The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, #2) by Eoin Colfer Chained by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire, #2) by Larissa Ione Unraveling (Unraveling, #1) by Elizabeth Norris

Currently reading:
The Hanging Girl (Department Q, #6) by Jussi Adler-Olsen Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1) by Anne Rice Unlucky in Love by Jill Sanders Lord of Misrule (The Morganville Vampires, #5) by Rachel Caine

I have too many books going on at once. Good thing is I'm pretty close to finish The Hanging Girl, and Unlucky in Love is pretty short.

Floreadsalot | 3 comments I am having problems remembering a book I read some time back. Its a shifter romance, the male has the preception and idea of what his perfect mate will be. Slim, pretty, etc and ends up with a slightly chunky or bigger girl. He is drawn to her but doesn't want to be. He tells her straight up she is not it for him but then proceeds to seduce her and then reject her. She has a good friend that wishes had been her mate. There is some kind of shower scene I think. Grrr... frustrating. Anyone does anyone remember anything like this? It was part of a series by a familar author. But cannot for the life of me remember it. I have been looking for weeks.


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) | 121 comments read Sweep in Peace (Innkeeper Chronicles, #2) by Ilona Andrews was really good. but then its IA, so not surprised.

I've read a few with that premise, one was His Teddy Bear by Eve Langlais and I'll hopefully think of more of them.

You have me thinking now, so you can`t remember the title or author ?

Was this a shifter series, a stand alone book or was it part of a series
where only some of the books were shifter tales ?

just some suggestions - Kerri Arthur, Rachel Vincent, Larissa Ione, Kresley Cole

When you find it let me know, it sounds good

yes I enjoyed them all, this book Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz I really liked, I can see why its won all those awards. I want the second book but its not going to be until 2017, groan.

This one Midnight Bites by Rachel Caine loved it, oh Myrnin I have missed you,
wanted to hug him except he bites humans, so perhaps not. This one is on my will buy list.

Anita Reads | 595 comments I also read a Morganville book this month. Been a while since my last read before that. Myrnin is a great character in that book. These books are fun because they're pretty short, but also really action-packed.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) | 121 comments Tried reading The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray and I liked some of it, but other bits where a tad strange. I wish it didn't change POV so often.
So instead I'm currently read Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson which has been really good. Love how different the main character is and the powers/super ppl?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have bought this book, I managed to buy it for a bargain price,
For anyone in the UK its only £2 in The Works book shops and
they do click and collect to any of their stores, so no P&P. Got
the whole series now, but still on the hunt for another copy of
The Glass House, mines a bit beat up. The rest are perfect

Just finished reading

Soldier (Talon, #3) by Julie Kagawa top of the wait list for this book at the library, which was lucky

Keep going, others have been unsure with the first book. Promise you this is
one series that just gets better and better, with each book.
