This audiobook is amazing. Cissy Spacek is the narrator. It was on sale recently so I picked it up. Really glad I did. Probably a good thing I haven't seen the movie in over 20 years though, so I didn't get too hung up. However, I did still picture the actors when I listened lol

No way you could picture anyone other than Gregory Peck as Atticus:)
Just started "Drawing Close" by Barbara Hinske as a pre-review on Kindle.

It is very different from what I normally read. But it is nice to break out of the norm sometimes. Has anyone read this book?"
I read this years ago - either in high school or college. I don't remember which but I know I loved it. I also loved the movie which is rare for me. I usually think the books are better than the movies but the movie based on To Kill a Mockingbird is outstanding.
Mod
. This is the first book I've read by Diana Palmer. It's okay but something about it is hitting me wrong. I'm not sure if it's the writ..."Thanks for telling me, Jonetta. This is the first and last book I'll be reading by her then. It drove me crazy! Between the wishy-washy characters who didn't really grow and the somewhat juvenile writing style - this was a painful read for me. I admit I wound up skimming the end because I couldn't stand it any longer.
Mod
. I love the Fool's Gold series. I want a book I'm practically guaranteed to love after the last one. :)

Mod
Understand completely. I just don't enjoy her style or story premises.
Finished Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian, book 6 in the midnight breed series and I really enjoyed it! It was definitely an interesting story getting to know the real Andreas. Started
by Sherriyln Kenyon, number 8 of the Dark Hunter series,and I'm learning so much about Ash that I didn't know before just in the first three chapters! Which makes me very happy lol. Then it got me wondering if every book gives a little bit more away of Ash so that by the time I get to his book will I already know most everything there is to know about him? Or will it only give away details in certain books? Dawn? Jonetta?
You will definitely NOT know everything about Ash by the time you get to his book. In fact you won't know everything there is to know about Ash when you finish his book. Damn complex man/God/whatever he really is lol. You are kicking butt on the series girl! It took me two years to get there.

Ok I must try and get the audiobook as well. I am really looking to watching the movie after I'm done with the book.

I always like to read the book then watch the movie. Most of the time the books really are better than the movie. But I can see from all the comments, the movie is a classic.
Mod

You're now ahead of me!
Mod
I can't read the book if I watch the movie first. This story is one of the rare examples where the movie might just be better than the book. At a minimum, it's just as good.

Should of known about Ash, that is completely frustrating, lol but so smart of the Author. I think that every time I finish a book, she's very smart the way she makes everyone want to know more about him, and then giving away just enough to keep you satisfied at the time but still craving more!

You have to wait for Styxx's book to get the whole story...and I am not holding my breath that we got it all then lol.
I don't think I've ever read about a more complex character, and like it. :)
Britney wrote: "Jonetta wrote: "Britney wrote: "Finished Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian, book 6 in the midnight breed series and I really enjoyed it!

My review of Ashes of Midnight differed from yours about the ending and the over the top lol, it just goes to show everyone feels differently about certain books. Sometimes I rely a lot on reviews and I just never really know if I will end up on the good or the bad side :)
Mod
I'm up to #13.
Mod
Your feedback was more consistent with others and I know I'm in the minority on this one:)
I just finished Lawless by Nora Roberts I used it for a challenge in another group and I miss read the challenge but still loved the book.
I have so many books by Nora Roberts to read and re-read for this group, looking forward to it

I'm now reading Taking Fire by Cindy Gerard, One-Eyed Jacks #4.
I am listening to

Not heard of this author.
@Jonetta, I hadn't either. This book was recommended to me by a Goodreads friend; it's very good.
Mod
Currently reading Born in Ice, book two of born in series. Couldn't wait. I'll read it again next month. Started
by RK Lilley, recommended by a goodreads friend that says it's her favorite series ever. I'm very interested so far. And started
by Elizabeth Hunter. It's free on Amazon and sounded good so I'm going to see which one takes hold between this and In Flight.
Mod
I finished listening to Discovering You by Brenda Novak, Whiskey Creek #10, and enjoyed, especially the narration. Here's my review.

My favorite novel ever! I try to read it once every two years or so. And the movie is definitely a classic, but of course there are a few differences from the book.
