Happy belated birthday, Ang. My husband and I both celebrated birthdays recently and they are close enough that sometimes they fall in the same week, but not this year.

[Kamas]

It might just be a time of funks. I've tried watching four different series on Netflix this weekend and couldn't get past the first episode (though I might go back and watch some more of Ripper Street if in the right mood).

Happy Birthday to both you and handsome prince!!

[Debbie]

I've had some pleasant reading surprises and some not so pleasant LOL that's what I get for letting my editor chose my reviews for me. But I also get to try new to me authors who I wouldn't ordinarily.

What are you reading this weekend?

I FINALLY finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It was very long and really not my cup of tea, but after I started it, I wanted to finish it. Parts of it I enjoyed, but then he would hit long stretches of rambling that made me long for something a little different.

Now I'm getting started on Go Set a Watchman.

I read the sample of American Gods that came preloaded on my Nook. Most of my friends have gushed over it, but it didn't grab me enough to purchase the full novel. I haven't seen much about the show yet.

[Ang from OZ]

I just started Spellbinder by Thea Harrison, been having dry eye issues again, so haven't been able to read for long periods lately.

[Debbie]

I am reading
really enjoying it.

I haven't read Gaiman, I know he has many many fans but the excerpts I've read really don't tempt me.

[Debbie]

Its hard to believe that July is almost behind us and I'm sure some of you are getting ready for the kids to head back to school and some are heading back themselves.
Anyone fitting in one more road trip/vacation before summer ends?

On another note JT Ellison has another stand alone coming out in August, it's on my reading list hopefully I can get to it before its released in paperback LOL
Lie to Me

Right now I'm reading a historical novel set in late 6th Century Wales, very good. The author has another book coming out in October and this book has been on my pile for awhile. I want to interview him for the blog, Really good
Between Two Fires

What are you reading?

[Ang from OZ]

Maybe we could do JT's book as our book club read?

I've gone from no reading at all for the past few weeks, to reading 3 books this week!!!

[Debbie]

Oh I'm all for that. It will be a new release so not cheap but maybe we'll wait until Sept or Oct so we can be sure LIbraries have them.
Good Idea Ang!

Sounds good. The pre-order paperback price is $10.97 at both Amazon and B&N right now. I'm thinking maybe I should go ahead and order. What do you guys think?

[Ang from OZ]

Tarheelgirl, yeeeeessss! :)

Deb, do you think JT will join us if we do it as our bookclub read?

If everyone is in favor of going ahead and pre-ordering it, we could do a mid-September bookclub read. My vote is to do it!

[Kamas]

I started reading Yellow Eyes by John Ringo while waiting for Little Britches during her swimming lessons. At work and at home I've been finishing up Bison Football: Three Decades of Excellence. I'm into the glory years of the '80's and names I'm actually familiar with. I didn't realize just how many NFL players they played against.

I'm not a real big college football fan but I never knew about your Bisons Kamas. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Just Asked JT if she'd join us
fingers crossed XXX

[Debbie]

Just got a bounce back email from JT she's out of touch until next week. I'll resend the email then

[Ang from OZ]

Fingerss crossed! :)

13 National titles over 50 years, plus another 3 as runner up. We may not be 'Big Time' like Alabama or Notre Dame, but we have a similar amount of championships and winning percentage over that time frame (all well over 70%). Ed Kolpack's son, Jeff, put out a book on Bison Football last year that deals with the era after Ed's book. I've also got that one and plan on reading it soon.

[Debbie]

Right now I'm reading Devi's Cut, the last book of the Bourbon King trilogy by JR Ward. It is AMAZING.



here are the first two

[Debbie]

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. It won't be long before leaves start to turn and fall (except for Ang that is).

Tell me the last book you read or listened to that you couldn't put down

What kept your attention was it the characters the story or a combination?

How long do you give a book before you quit reading it?

[Debbie]

Ok Gang JT is in!!!
Go here for the Lie to Me set up page-https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

and let's chat about it

The last book I didn't want to put down was "Wildfire" by Ilona Andrews. It was the 3rd book in the series. I was interested to see how the story panned out! Plus Ilona Andrews (Husband and Wife writing duo) are one of my favorite authors!



Also worth a mention is "Spectacle" by Rachel Vincent, (I know this is on your list to read, Deb) The characters had me hooked on this one!!

[Debbie]

Ang from OZ wrote: "Debbie wrote: "I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. It won't be long before leaves start to turn and fall (except for Ang that is).

Spectacle is on my pile Ang. Was it as good as Menagerie?

Ilona Andrews is an author duo I really want to read too

[Ang from OZ]

YES, Deb, loved Spectacle just as much as Menagerie! Can't wait to see what you think when you read it! My Mum really enjoyed it also, so we've had good discussions about it. I have read Rachel Vincent for a long time now, her Werecat's Series remains one of my favourite Series.

Ilona Andrews books really are fantastic!!

Menagerie was my first by Rachel, we did an interview when Menagerie came out and I learned some interesting things.
Yeah I need more hours in a day LOL :) so many authors I want to read so little time

[Debbie]

Weren't we just talking about the unofficial start to summer and now it's almost Labor Day, Wow, Holy summer flew by, Batman :)

What's on your reading list this weekend
(Ang have you been a good girl?)

I'm just about done with my November titles and will be reading for pleasure September
a November release, Touch of Red

And by an author friend Lisa Daily
Single Minded

and hopefully Mark Noce's upcoming December release, sequel to his fantastic debut set in Medieval Wales, Between Two Fires,
Dark Winds Rising

[Ang from OZ]

Yes, very good, I haven't started it yet. I've picked up a few books this week, but nothing is really holding my interest. I have Mum staying for the weekend, so a big day of retail therapy planned for today. We're talking my eldest niece with us. Seems she takes after Mum and I and loves a good shop!!

[Kamas]

I'm not really sure what I feel like reading now. I started reading a collection of short stories by Alma Boykin called Tales from the Uplands. I'm almost done with my vacation. I really, really don't want to go back to work.

[Ang from OZ]

Best of luck with the return to work, Kamas.

Getting my witch's wand out for some magic casting on extending your vacation. A so well deserved one!

Debbie wrote: "Getting my witch's wand out for some magic casting on extending your vacation. A so well deserved one! "

Thanks. But I'm back to work now. I feel like a fish out of water. Not only am I on days (oh, the sun hurts my eyes!) but they switched out our main computer while I was gone, so I don't have anything saved where it was on my desktop now. It took all morning to go through two weeks of email. I'm setting up my browser favorites now. Next is shortcuts on the desktop for all the stuff I use on a regular basis.

[[deleted user]]

Lately I've been finding it harder to find time to read. I downloaded Almost Missed You by Jessica Strawser from my library and it's really drawn me in. Hopefully I won't be disturbed at lunch and I can soon find out what happens next!

[Scott]

I recently read:
The Gunslinger (3rd time)
Needful Things and
Gwendy's Button Box

Now I'm reading The Girl in the Maze. OK so far, just a little confusing with time jumping.

[Ang from OZ]

I have been making my way through Shannon Mayers "Rylee Adamson" series. I'd say it falls in the urban fantasy genre, which I haven't read for a while. Next up will be "Wickedly Spirited by Deborah Blake" it's a novella and is part of her Baba Yaga Witch Series.

Hi Scott,

Hey Ang that's one of my favorite genres but a new to me one too. Thanks

[Kamas]

I had training this week. One of our speakers was Gordon Graham. Let me recommend him as a speaker at any conference you may be attending. There is some adult language, but he is funny as hell.

I now have several more books on my To Be Read list.

That'f fantastic Kamas. I've heard other people who really like him and some who didn't :)

The reading list is really varied. Thanks for sharing.

[Kamas]

I finished The Withdrawing Room the other day. And I finished reading Champion Dog: Prince Tom to my daughter. I started the next book in the Kelling/Bittersohn series, The Palace Guard last night at work. I'm not sure what I'm gonna start reading to Little Britches on Monday.

Sounds like a full schedule of reading Kamas

Thanks. I've been slowly trying to read all of his books. I think I have finished about 52 but I still have about 20 left.

That's quite an accomplishment
Any particular reason for that goal?
Do you just really like him or something else?

[Ang from OZ]

Hi Scott, I wondered if you have watched the movies that have been done of Stephen King's books?

I haven't ever read any of the books but have seen a few movies. Do you plan to see the new re-make of the movie IT. I've been terrified of clowns ever since I watched the old version!!!

[Scott]

Deb and Ang,
I started reading King when I was a young teenager in the 80's and I loved his stories back then. I had read quite a few of his books while I was younger. I started reading more again about 15 years ago and got back into reading his books so I decided I would read them all.

I read It when it came out and have read it 2 more times since. It is my favorite book of all. When the original TV movie came out I was so disappointed with it. It was terrible. I can't wait to see the new one.

A lot of his movies have not been done well. The best ones are The Green Mile, Stand by Me, and Shawshank Redemption, in no order.

[Kamas]

I just finished Curses! and think I will start another one in the series, Dead Men's Hearts. I really like Curses! It brought back memories of visiting Cahal Pech in Belize several years ago.
