L J | 714 comments Brandi, I liked the first Odd book better than the second. I'm interested to know what you think of the rest of the series. Brother Odd was more interesting to me than book two but then I missed the next and never got back to it. I could add it to my 2018 finish series list but probably not.
I'm reading Eve Langlais C791. After the SF romance and paranormal I have checked out it's back to cozy mystery.

Barbara Sousa | 504 comments I'm about 1/3 of the way through Closer Than You Know by Brad Parks . It's well-written, suspenseful and topical. Looks like I might have to add Brad Parks to my author's list!

L J | 714 comments Finished G.A. Aiken Dragon Kin #9 Bring the Heat. Started Eve Langlais Space Gypsy Chronicles. Noticed the library had 1-4, Pirate, Sinner, Rebel, King. The opportunity was too good to pass up even though what I was checking my wish list for was available cozy mystery series.

Beth | 104 comments Hilary S - I need to add the D. Sayers to my wish list. I've never read a biography about her.

Currently reading To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis and my next library book will be Joseph Cornell and Surrealism by Matthew Affron.


message 311: by L J (new)

L J | 714 comments Not cozy in any way. Read 1-4 of Eve Langlais Space Gypsy Chronicles: Pirate, Sinner, Rebel, King. Not fun. More like one long book than 4 books in a series. King came out in April 2017 and it stops with a nasty cliff hanger ending. By halfway through series I was asking, "Where's James T. Kirk? We need his abilities." Saying what abilities would be spoiler.

L J | 714 comments Caught up on reading Eve Langlais Dragon Point series. Re-read first ones. Hadn't read Assassin Next Door first time I read #2Dragon Squeeze but was aware of connection. The female main character in #5Dragon Reborn turned out to be smart and funny instead of the annoyingly tstl character she first appeared. Next one Demon Walking is due out later this year.

I just finished reading this. Was not expecting the dance at the end. Interesting or did I miss some clues in the ones in the series I've skipped?


message 316: by Elena (new)

Elena I'm currently reading The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead. Didn't enjoy World War Z by the same author though, but this one is totally different.

I don't think so. I've read all of them and I was surprised by the ending on this one!

Let us know what you think of it. I have read all of Baldacci's series, except the Amos Decker one. I have the first 2 on audio, so I'll probably be starting them soon!

I have listened to most of David's novels and enjoy them immensely. Lots of action and fun characters. Some plot twists from time to time.
Amos is a fellow all of his own. I may end up liking him the best.

I used to read Jude Deveraux but then she did the Forever Trilogy and I disliked each one more than the previous one. I have read a few Deveraux since but she is no longer automatic buy/read for me.

Last week I finished The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. This book is outstanding! It tells the story from a point of view we never hear. On a scale of one to five, this one is a ten.

How did you find Artemis? I really enjoyed The Martian, and now I'm on a never ending queue of my library to borrow Artemis,,

Read this last year and it was one of my top 3 reads for the whole year. VERY good!

I've heard it's a lot different than the Martian but I haven't read that one yet. It's a heist caper on the moon and I found the characters were fun. I assume The Martian went into extreme detail about technical apparatus, etc. This did too but the plot was very fast paced for just over 300 pages.

I'm listening to Who Let the Dog Out? by David Rosenfelt. Grover Gardner does a fantastic job getting across Andy's witty and sarcastic nature.

I just finished Sudden Death (Andy Carpenter Series, #4) by David Rosenfelt Sudden Death by David Rosenfelt (which somehow I had missed on audio). I love the Andy Carpenter novels and especially Grover Gardner's narration!

message 338: by Beth (new)

Beth | 104 comments I'm a few pages into Manderly Forever by Tatiana de Rosnay. It's non-fiction that reads like a novel and so far it's very intriguing. It's very appealing even to someone like me who has read only 2 of Du Maurier's novels.

Sarah Folger | 13 comments I am re-reading Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. 5 years ago when I read it I remember having quite the book hangover. Then I'll be ready for the follow-up book, A God in Ruins.

Let's hear it for guilty pleasures! But I've set it aside to read another cozy series, "The Abby and Ophelia" series by Damsgaard. I was in the mood for something witchy. I'll go back to "Fever" next week.
