That one is interesting Ryan:)

Ryan It sure was. It was cartoonishly dark. Quite jarring to my delicate sensibilities.

Graeme Rodaughan I have got these three books now lined up.

Brides of Dracula (The Legend of Dracula #2) by Perry Lake , Keystone (Crossbreed #1) by Dannika Dark and The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1) by Julie Kagawa .

The only problem I have is that I'm reading quite slowly due to other pressing commitments.

Bec (_becandbooks) Just started The Last Time We Say Goodbye as an audiobook and two thirds of the way through Deltora Quest 2: Shadowlands (never read the second series of this childhood favourite and found it at the last Lifeline Bookfest!).

The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand Deltora Quest 2 Shadowlands (Bind-Up Books 1-3) by Emily Rodda

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) I bought Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty at the airport. I had previously avoided this author but wow, I loved this book. Am currently watching the tv series of same.

Just purchased Truly Madly Guilty which I'm finding a bit less interesting.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Bette, Truly Madly Guilty does take patience, the reveal comes about 2/3 in, but I thought it was worth it. But The Husband's Secret is an excellent read that gets going a bit more quickly....

I just finished The Husband's Secret and whilst it kept you reading the ending was disappointing for me. A bit too neatly tied up.

I just finished one of my fav series, too and it's so sad to say goodbye to some of your fav characters! This series has been on my radar for a while, If i see the first one cheap- I might pick it up :)

Gabby | 10 comments Now just picked up The Rules of Conception by Angela Lawrence after finishing The Ruby Circle (Bloodlines, #6) by Richelle Mead .

Alleesia Anderson | 34 comments As I am doing a Diploma of Arts majoring in Counselling I elected to study where spirituality was considered. As a consequence one unit is Foundations of Faith. Reading now Practicing Christian Doctrine. An introduction to Thinking and Living Theologically. Beth Felker Jones, 2014. Currently getting my head around various Doctrine and my view in relation to it. More challenging than expected. But a very soul searching thought provoking book. Cost about $25 Australian
