Vacation was AMAZING!! I actually participated in the real world quite a bit so I didn't get much reading done. Returning to reality sucks. Thank you for taking care of everything while I was gone!

Silje (sikna) | 908 comments Does this mean that the DS Imogen Grey series is quite good since both of you (V and K) are reading it?=)


message 162: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments I've been on a bit of a psychological thriller bend and this one fit in nicely! If you like that kind of book, I would recommend. :)

V and I typically have very similar tastes in books though and sometimes they don't hold as much appeal to other audiences! LOL!


message 163: by Silje (new)

Silje (sikna) | 908 comments I read one of those once in a while. My boss actually borrowed me one last week, Kråkejenta Victoria Bergmans svakhet første del by Jerker Eriksson , she recommended it by saying "it was terribly creepy, but you should read it anyway":P

Andrea (dreakay) | 192 comments Finished The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer. On mobile so can't link right now but it's on my uno shelf.

Are there any 6's left? It would work for that as the last name (S)chumer starts with S.


message 167: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo would also work as a Reverse bcz I read it last month.

message 179: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Kind of interesting how the book flows.... You start with the heart of the story... then you get the epilogue... then you read the prologue last...

Things that make you say 'hmm'...

I haven't and they look very interesting. My library doesn't have Too Late but I ordered it and it should hopefully arrive before the weekend! I can't wait! Once again my TBRs are getting shifted...teehee!! From the looks of it we shouldn't have a problem filling the Reverse cards :-P


message 199: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I just finished Infinite Faith (Infinite Series, Book 4) by L.E. Waters by L.E. Waters. This was an AMAZING series!!! It started with the first one (Infinite Sacrifice) being a free ebook on Amazon and by the end of the day I had finished it and ordered the remaining three. This is a series that definitely needs to be read from the beginning because it involves reincarnation and how the characters relationships change with one another. It was so intriguing seeing how everything evolved and related back to previous lives. And she has handy charts that help to keep track of all the characters during the different lives.

I just hope the last one comes out soon so I can have some answers!

I think you're right ~ I just picked up Infinite Sacrifice :)
It was a freebie with $1.99 for audio. Woo-Hoo!
