Vera M. Read:
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - YA, different take on vampires. thought it could've been a series or cut to a short story.

The Defiant Hero - SEALS romantic suspense.

The King's Blood - book 2 in a series. Good fantasy, a lot of intrigue and politicking.

Brotherhood in Death - Newest in a huge series, futuristic, police procedural romantic susupense.

The Handmaid's Tale - depressing, yet thought provoking like a good dystopian sci-fi.

The Dragonbone Chair - first in a classic fantasy series.

Brittany McCann (brittanylmccann) | 33 comments Finished
The House at the End of Hope Street by Menna van Praag The House at the End of Hope Street which I picked up as a "blind date" with a library book. It was spectacular. I loved the house, I loved (and hated) the characters. The implication of the house and all that came with it. The renewal of strength within the women who have walked in and out of the house. A quick and easy read. There was a great following of the characters. I highly recommend, awarded 5 stars for me.

Still reading. The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje The English Patient with the group read, I will be finishing this one up tonight

also reading Awoken (The Lucidites, #1) by Sarah Noffke Awoken as a group read (You can still join in: Awoken Buddy Read and we even have author Sarah Noffke available in the discussion area with us) which is very intriguing. I love this concept of the Lucidites, picking up nicely and shrouded in mystery.

Also reading Token Huntress by Kia Carrington-Russell Token Huntress for my pen pal read! Great intro.

Today I am starting The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby The Diving Bell and the Butterfly as it is one of those books I had never gotten around to reading.

Dale, what did you think of the book? I am almost finished with the first one and trying to decide if I should keep reading the series.

Vera M. Finished:
Stone of Farewell (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, #2) by Tad Williams - book 2 in a indepth and sometimes slow moving fantasy.

message 60: by Cee (new)

Cee (simplystrange) Last week I read the Graceling Series which was pretty good. Glad I finally read it.
I'm almost done with the Disovery of Witches series. Will soon start The Book of Life. Been meaning to read this series for a LONG time and I almsot regret not reading it sooner ^_^.

Pretty much, I'm going through my TBR list so that I actually read those instead of just finding more and more new books.

Amber Darke | 36 comments Ooh, I read the Graceling trilogy a while back and really enjoyed it! I've been reading a lot of YA fantasy so far this year. I really enjoyed the last one I read, The Wrath and the Dawn, and I thought Truthwitch was pretty good, as was An Ember in the Ashes!

The Wrath and the Dawn (The Wrath and the Dawn, #1) by Renee Ahdieh
Truthwitch (The Witchlands, #1) by Susan Dennard
An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1) by Sabaa Tahir

Cathy Knuth (cathyknuth) | 8 comments Not quite sure where to place this series The Scribbler Guardian by Lucian Bane. It's not "Adult" and it's not Young Adult per say. So far this has 2 books in the series. https://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/... and the third is coming out tomorrow which I am really looking forward to reading. Actually re-read both books recently. Every genre is represented in one book and it just blows my mind how he did it.

Leigh-Ayn | 8 comments I'm going to try Hunted by Others by Jess Haines. Hoping it's a good series

Vicci Baize (viccibaize) | 3 comments Need help!! My sister-in-law isn't big on reading BUT she said if I can find her a good fireman book she would read it ! Dose anyone know of one? All the ones I have find are MM books not really our thing !


message 75: by Marie (new)

Marie A true paranormal read that might give some of you a scare is "The Haunted" Ed and Lorraine Warren. Keep the lights on while reading this book. We are talking "true horror" here.


message 76: by Marie (last edited May 19, 2016 08:41PM) (new)

Marie Another true paranormal read some you might like is "Haunted By The Things You Love" by John Zaffis - this is about all kinds of trinkets, etc. that are haunted - people bought stuff from yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores, and then come to find out that "something" was attached and they brought it into their home. Since reading this book, it has made me think twice of buying second hand things. Haunted By The Things You Love by John Zaffis


message 77: by Patricia (new)

Patricia Klemer (visualchic) | 5 comments I have discovered Harry Dresden. There is no romance so to speak, well okay maybe a little but the series if fantastic. I am up to book 14 out of a 20 book series. Jim Butcher is not quite finished, so a few books need to be written yet, but I will wait as patiently as I can. If you like wizards, werewolves, vampires, fairies and everything nasty that goes bump in the night, you gotta read the Dresden Files.


message 78: by Dahrose (new)

Dahrose | 32 comments Book 8 of the Southern Sanctuary series has just been released. I love Jane Cousins - her books have it all - sweet sexy romances and heaps of LOL moment and witty dialogue.

Bring on the weekend - have already bribed the hubby to take the kids off my hands for a day so I can get stuck into - To Thrill A Thief To Thrill A Thief (Southern Sanctuary book 8) by Jane Cousins

message 82: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan Recently finished The Devil's Mouth (Alex Rains, Vampire Hunter Book One) by Matt Kincade by Matt Kincade.

It is an excellent Vampire Hunter vs Vampire action story set against the backdrop of the south west US.

Builds very well and has some great twists and turns.

Cathy A. Corn (cathy_corn) | 6 comments Aloha friends,
I haven't been active in this group because of my indie author pursuits. I am looking for a few people who will give me a review of my paranormal romance, mystery/suspense, Crystal Clear.

It's about a Pittsburgh psychotherapist who moves into a Victorian house, gazes into a crystal ball, and discovers her own death in the 1940's in this SAME HOUSE. Her journey to find her past life killer ultimately leads her to the island of Kauai, where her wounded heart finds healing.

If that piques your interest and you have time in the next 6 weeks to read and post an Amazon review, I will gratefully send you a Kindle or Nook version free (via Smashwords). Crystal Clear by Cathy A. Corn Cathy A. Corn .

Thanks, you all. And happy reading. As we say on the islands, mahalo nui loa.

message 97: by Lacey (new)

Lacey (she2beautiful) I'm just finishing up Uprooted by Naomi Novik by Naomi Novik, which has been an incredible read. I just started a (sorta) cozy mystery Checkered Crime (A Laurel London Mystery #1) by Tonya Kappes which I'm a bit undecided about so far. Once I'm done with Uprooted I plan on starting Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh .

message 100: by Lacey (new)

Lacey (she2beautiful) Currently I'm reading Black Cat Crossing (A Bad Luck Cat Mystery #1) by Kay Finch by Kay Finch, which is a really cute cozy mystery. Pack Challenge (Magnus Pack, #1) by Shelly Laurenston by Shelly Laurenston, which I'm also enjoying. Some of the supporting characters are a little irritating but the romance is solid. I also just started Shadows (Lux, #0.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout by Jennifer L. Armentrout which is the prequel to Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . I'm reading Shadows for the Ultimate Reading Challenge this year... :)
