Is this the last one?"


Yes, this is the last book in the trilogy. Now I just need to catch up on one of her more recent series. She's too darn prolific! :-\

[Kirsten]

Doing a little sci-fi. I've been listening to Calculating God and reading A Thousand Words for Stranger

[Gary]

Currently reading Memoir of Col. Benjamin Tallmadge by Benjamin Tallmadge

The author of this Memoir was Wasington's spymaster in the New York area during the Revolutionary War. One of his classmates was a fellow by the name of Nathan Hale.

Finished The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America which earned an easy 5 stars from me. I read for it my ftf book club and I really enjoyed the discussion. Now I'm reading Time and Regret, a WWI story. This is another good one.

I have DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY in The Pile. I really loved his, Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania. He has a knack for bringing history to life and making it read like a novel.

Devil was very good, two stories in one and I enjoyed them both. I had read In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin and my reaction was 'WOW!" so I knew I would enjoy Devil. Now I'm adding Dead Wake to my wish list!

Finished Time and Regret today. I'll be reading Hosanna next.

[Carla]

Almost finished . I am enjoying this series, even though it is not my usual cup of tea.

I am so far behind on her books. You are right, she has so many, yet she still writes her own, not like some other authors out there who have writing partners.

I really enjoyed that series - the third book was actually my favorite

[Melissa]

Just starting Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone . I have been wanting to read this for a while now, and when I saw it in my library's banned book display, I thought what better time to read it!

I am re-reading the entire series and still love it

[Carla]

I just finished and I very much enjoyed it. Because I am late to the party, I can start the next one right away.

[Carol]

Just finished an excellent non-fiction book. "Maria's Journey" by Ramon and Trisha Arredondo. It's a true and moving and sometimes funny story of one woman's journey to becoming an American, raising children, learning so much along the way. Maria was Ray Arredondo's mother, and Ray and his wife researched, interviewed and put together this well written and touching biography. Highly recommended!

Finished Born in Shame over the weekend -- enjoyed this trilogy.

[Gary]

Finished Memoir of Col. Benjamin Tallmadge by Benjamin Tallmadge

Also recently started Stand by Your Hitman by Leslie Langtry

Also back working on finishing The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

[Anita (Hearts and Whodunits)]

I just finished a historical romance called A Raven's Heart by K. C. Bateman. It was very good. I would recommend it!

[Joy]

Currently reading Silas Marner.

I remember how much I hated that book when I had to read it in school!! Wonder if I'd feel differently now?

I read it on my own while in college and actually liked it.

[Joy]

It was on my list of classics to read but also it is relatively short and people told me that another book I liked a lot was based on this one. I finally had to read a summary of the book bc I am 40% in and wasn't seeing much resemblance.

[Karen M]

I'm reading a shape shifter book, Guardian's Mate.

[Gary]

After finishing Stand by Your Hitman yesterday, I started reading I Shot You Babe by Leslie Langtry

[Lacey]

I'm reading by Nichole Christoff, which is a thriller/mystery and is so far very good. I also just started reading and it's already become hard to put down. So I've got two right now that are winners... :)

[Karen M]

Finished & reviewed Guardian's Mate and now I'm reading an ARC of The Tourist

[Dawn]

I just finished reading A Hidden Fire. It's a paranormal romance/suspense. Wonderful book! I loved it. The characters are so believable - even the vampires.

[Lisa]

I just got in The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles and will be starting that soon!

[Bridget's Quiet Corner]

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare gradually working my way through the series..trying to get to The Infernal Devices...hoping I like them. I better because I have all 3 books..which I try not to do usually because sometimes I tend to not always like the books after book 1...if i like book 1 at all. But I haven't even read book 1 because I haven't finished the Mortal Instruments (evidently)

[Gary]

Finally went back and finished I Shot You Babe by Leslie Langtry.

[Kirsten]

I read the Odd Thomas prequel/short story Odd Thomas: You Are Destined To Be Together Forever and started the romantic suspense Close Your Eyes yesterday.

[BLynne]

Today I'm going to start Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

[Lacey]

I just finished reading by Nalini Singh which I enjoyed quite a bit. The alpha male romantic interest was a little A-typical but the writing was incredible.

[Joy]

Just finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

[Heidi]

Yes, she's able to make me like vamp stories, something I was bored a long time ago.

[Karen M]

Starting Tracks of Her Tears tonight.

[Carla]

I just finished . It was a definite 5+ stars, but is as non-cozy as you can get.

I am starting this morning.

[Joy]

Reading Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull.

[Lacey]

Just started reading , which I'm enjoying so far. I find Ms. Harris' descriptions of the town and her chocolate confections to be incredible. The only thing I find a little off putting is the random jumps in the story line. But otherwise it's a very entertaining read.

I liked a lot the film too.

[Vikki]

At the moment I'm reading Choked by Tania Carver. This series can be quite dark...

I LOVED the film. But so far it's a classic case of the movie isn't even similar to the book.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I thought so when I checked the book ;-)

[Karen M]

I just finished reading, Memory House and am about to start Plain Christmas

[Melissa]

Just starting Sandstorm and really enjoying it so far.

[Anita]

The last book in this series Honor Bound by B.J. Daniels ties it all up with a few twists and turns.

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Kirsten]

Just finished reading Bloody Mary, the second book in the Jack Daniels series. Definitely not a cozy, but a fun book with a strong female character.

[Catherine]

Started reading Barbara Nickless Blood on the Tracks

[Carla]

I want to start reading and follow up with the rest of this series by Robert Bryndza.

[Karen M]

I finished Plain Christmas, hate saying but I wasn't impressed. Started reading Vegas Girls,

[Joy]

Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. Perfect week for it.
