I like it a lot. I read first the novella (first in the series) in the original anthology, and I've liked them all (it's a rereading)

Beverly (bjbixlerhotmailcom) | 2332 comments I am starting The Bone Collection: Four Novellas today. As I was telling a colleague here at work, who is also a Kathy Reichs fan, I like the Tempe Brennan of the books much better than the obnoxious Tempe of the TV show; even though I liked the show and watched all of the seasons.

Carol Perry (caroljperry) | 90 comments Just finished The Light in Summer by Mary McNear and loved it. No wonder she's a NYT best selling author! The story takes place at Butternut Lake, a most delightful place. This story is romantic and intriguing all the way to the end. There's even a wonderful mind-reading dog named Murphy. This is the first of her books I've read and it surely won't be the last!

Nell | 1223 comments Reading Behold the Dreamers: A Novel by Imbolo Mbue. She spoke at an author talk I went to last month. Turns out she lost her job, was job hunting (unsuccessfully) and after an interview happened to walk past a group of chauffeurs waiting at the curb for their affluent employers. Now she's a best-selling author!

MadameZelda I am reading and listening to Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (The Dowser #4) by Meghan Ciana Doidge . I am in several monthly challenges and this book meets a white cover and chocolate on the cover. (So I get a two-fer!)

Finished Anne of Green Gables last week. I enjoyed revisiting these characters, even if I did cry at the end (which I knew I would).

Am now just about done with a rom-suspense by Elizabeth Lowell, Perfect Touch.

MadameZelda While I am waiting for several cozies from the library, I am reading Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.

This world building is killing me although I understand it's necessary. But I'll need some action soon.

I have a really hard time with "World Building" and that is why I just can't get into the fantasy genre.

message 577: by MadameZelda (new)

MadameZelda Now I'm reading Hunting Ground (Alpha & Omega, #2) by Patricia Briggs , book 2. I am always waiting for a bunch of cozies from the library in the meantime.


message 578: by Stella (new)

Stella Claire (stella_stclaire) | 2 comments I'm not too fussed, I do love light happy great reads (probably why I'm drawn to cozies). I just finished A Guru was Born and loved it's quirky characters and the beautiful simplicity of it's author's writing.
A Guru Is Born

However I really do enjoy classics like Jane Austen's books, I could certainly read Pride and Prejudice a few more times ;) Oh Mr Darcy!


message 579: by BJ Rose (new)

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 1887 comments I'm reading Spider Game and listening to Echoes in Death - definitely not cozies!

Beverly (bjbixlerhotmailcom) | 2332 comments I am listening to Maybe This Time by Jennifer Crusie. So far, it is engrossing and funny in places.

I am a huge Jennifer Crusie fan, but Maybe This Time was my least favorite book.

Haven't had much time to read these last couple of days, but so far, so good!


message 590: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Burke | 76 comments I'm currently alternating between cozies and John Sandford's Prey series. I seem to need either a ton of or absolutely no sex and violence. No middle ground for me.


message 591: by BJ Rose (new)

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 1887 comments Just finished The Starling Project - I usually love Jeffery Deaver, especially his Lincoln Rhyme series, but this one didn't work for me. It was an Audible cast presentation, but the sound effects sort of ruined it for me.

Currently reading Mad for the Plaid and it's just OK. Hmmm, maybe it's me and not the books?!


message 592: by Alice (new)

Alice | 3823 comments I little more hardcore than a cozy A Dying Fall (Ruth Galloway, #5) by Elly Griffiths by Elly Griffiths. Excellent series with our main character Ruth, smart, independent, single mother. Well writting series start with book 1 though.

I've read a few of the Cardwell Cousins series by B.J. Daniels. Sometimes you want something romantic.

I've started The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar

message 599: by MadameZelda (new)

MadameZelda This is a switch for me. I am in a challenge where there has to be a car on the cover. So this was on KU, Filthy Rich (Blackstone Dynasty, #1) by Raine Miller . It's so-so because I've seen a movie that has the same surprise. It's also slow moving. Funny, eh? Some cozies tend to be slow too.

YUP! Which is why I'm now reading an historical romance by Sarah MacLean, Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake. Thoroughly enjoying this one!
