I'm currently reading American Gods, and loving it!

I just finished
. I really enjoyed it. It had a slow start but the plot and development of the characters made up for it. You start liking Reba in the beginning but toward the end you grow to dislike her and then she surprises you.
Well I've finally finsihed Breaking Dawn, but I didn't love it. I was a bit disappointed, after hoping it would be a great ending to the series.
I just finished
. This was a good story with likable characters. It had a slow start and really took some time to get consumed in it. However, once it got going I didn't want to put the book down. The ending caught me by surprise.
I've just finished reading
by Victoria Hislop. It was an engrossing love story, set in Greece. It spanned the 1st and 2nd World Wars and also the Greek civil war, ending in the 21st century. It was an interesting look at greek history and its impact on the characters.
I just finished
. It was a good story. It had characters that you really got to know. There were a few red herrings thrown out for the killer but you eventually knew who it was which is why this book doesn't get a higher rating from me. You really grew to love Maggie and wanted her nightmares to end but the ending leaves you wanting to read the next book to see what happens...
I finished
last night. This book was great. Chloe was a character that women would want to be; strong, confident, and speaks her mind. She didn’t get scared easily or rattled which I admired. She just wasn’t one of those girls you had to coddle. The story was interesting and totally engulfed me. I was reading until 11:30 pm just to finish this book. I didn’t care for the detail in the intimacy between her and Luke. I think they could have left that out and it still would have made it a good book.
I recently finished The Night Circus, which I absolutely loved. Some reviews have said it was slow, but I felt there was much to savour in the book.

I just finished
. This was a good read. I enjoyed how the story line went and how everything got tied in at the end. The characters were developed you really end up liking the main character, Harry Bosch. I never had anticipated the conclusion. I was taken by surprise. I will definitely read the next one.

Just finished City Of Ash: A Novel - great story! I've read a few books by this author and I loved all of them.
Shelli wrote: "Little Bee was a lot better than I was expecting!"I thought it was pretty good too.
I recently finished
by Lisa Gardner. This one is the 4th book in her D.D.Warren series - this book was really good and I think my favorite DD book so far except for one thing... I really missed Bobby Dodge, he was her partner in the first 3 books and was missing in this one, he did make an appearance, but a very small one.
I have just finished THe Old Wives Tale by Arnold Bennett. Superb!
If you like this kind of book....I found Dead I Well May Be very good....lots of use of the F-word beware!
I'm not too worried about that. It's a word that occurs in most of my sentences. Book sounds interesting tho! ThanksS x
I just finished Bitterblue....I didn't like it as much as Graceling...but I enjoy this world, so it was still a good read....I hope if the author continues the series she will make the books shorter and better like Graceling....this one spent a lot of time being confusing when it could have spent more time with the characters that make this series good.
Shelli wrote: "The End of the Affair....loved it!"Have you read any other Graham Greene books Shelli? I read a lot of his when I was younger and enjoyed them a lot. Last year, I read Travels with My Aunt, which was very good. Quite a versatile writer!
Recently, I finished three very different books:
, a novel about the Vietnam war - excellent!
- an interesting Bill Bryson read and
, which was an excellent short read.
Shelli wrote: "The End of the Affair....loved it!"Shelli - I loved that too, it might even be time for a re-read.
I finished a poetry collection by Heather Grace Stewart this morning. It's called
and has some lovely things in it:)
Just finished
great mix of horror and scifi, really enjoyed it. Now reading
I just finished Forest Mage as an audio book. Not bad, but Hobb repeats things more than I'd like & the hero is an idiot. Still, interesting story & world. I'm going to listen to Renegade's Magic, the 3d of the Soldier's Son trilogy next.

I just finished River Marked by Patricia Briggs. It's the 6th book in the series & might have been better than the first. That's impressive. My review is here:http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
