What have you recently finished and loved

[Melissa]

I really hope so Shelli. I keep pushing it back on my list and starting something different. I really just need to force myself to start it.

I think you'll be surprised you waited, however...with so much to read..don't ruin the book by forcing yourself to read it...pick up something else and read WFE when you don't feel pressure. I love animals etc etc and had no problems with the book at all. Like almost every good book, there are some parts that might be tough to read, but then if they weren't in there, the book wouldn't be so good.

[Nadia]

I just finished Her Fearful Symmetry and loved it! I'm still digesting the ending of it as I just only finished it this afternoon. I'm not sure what to make of it yet. All I know is that it is so much better than The Time Traveler's Wife.

[Robin]

I just finished reading/rereading The Watch series by Sergei Lukyanenko. I started this series hoping that it would expand on the first movie 'Day Watch' because I found the movie interesting but ultimately unsatisfying. I struggled a little with the first few stories in the first book, but ultimately I fell in love with this series. I recomend it, but remember the author is Russian and I think that was why I struggled some with it.
Day Watch
Night Watch
Dusk Watch
Last Watch

[Jerrod]

Robin, you're a little bit off. The series starts with Night Watch, then goes Day, Dusk (Twilight), Last (Final).

Yeah I noticed that too, but I was late for work. LOL

Interesting...you are one of the first who I've heard likes it better! I thought they were both just 3 stars for me. I didn't really like any of the characters in HFS and the ending I did not care for!!!
I was in the minority of people who thought TTW was just ok!

[Jim]

I'm starting the Childe Cycle by Gordon R. Dickson. He wrote the first book, Dorsai, the year I was born, which I just finished re-reading. The last book, Antagonist, was published in 2007 with a co-author since Dickson died in 2001. I've read most of the books, some two or three times, but I've never read them in order nor all in the same decade. So now I will. I just finished the first published (not chronologically) & have started the second, Necromancer.

[Melodie]

I just finished [image error] yesterday and really liked it!! Great YA fantasy!

[Micko]

I finished Long Voyage Back by Luke Rhinehart and actually wrote a review this time! Great book, I don't usually read long drawn out adventures, but fleeing from nuclear fallout on a cumbersome boat was a riveting read.

[Roberta]

I finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown a couple of weeks ago. It was good though the ending was a bit disappointing.
I also read Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, quite riveting and a fast read. Can't wait for the sequel Crescendo

[Melissa]

I've got The Lost Symbol on my list for February...

[Christy (TheReaderBee)]

I finished City of Ashes and City of Glass, and I loved them both! So sad to end the book! Can't wait until City of Fallen Angels comes out next year. :)

[Roberta]

Jo, it should be out October 30th ... long wait huh?

[Roberta]

Did you read Fallen by Lauren Kate? I think it's similar to some extent.

[Roberta]

I too had heard mixed comments about fallen .. I have to buy it now some time soon.

[Natasha]

I've just finished Perfect Chemistry - Simone Elkeles
And it was one of the best books i've read so far this year.

[Monica]

I just finished The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and loved it!

[Shelli]

This is on my TBR!

[Sarah]

Shelli - The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is on my TBR too! Glad to hear you liked it Monica!

[Jason]

Have just finished Climate of extremes some of the science in it was good and that was worth the price of the book on its own. The message was a little biased though and could have at least spent some time considering the other side of the argument.

[Jerrod]

just finished up Return of the Great Depression, very good and informative book yet very depressing (no pun intended) and scary. Also cranked out Decay Inevitable, Graveyard People vol1 and Nightwatch

[Sarah]

Just finished Cleopatra's Daughter and I loved it! Can't wait to read more books by this author!

[Amira]

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is great! Reading the sequel now.

[Shelli]

Amira....I liked the sequel even better!

[Shelli]

I finally finished The Historian and ended up really liking it!!

[Nadia]

Shelli, I liked The Historian, too. Its such a fun read. Made me want to visit all the places the describe in the book - also made me want to check out Dracula's library :)

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished the great Checkmate - Malorie Blackman.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished listening to Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Last night I finished listening to One Good Turn - Kate Atkinson.

[Sadie]

Just finished listening to Revenge of the Spellman's by Lisa Lutz. It is the third book in the series, and I have loved all of the books thus far. I would suggest that you start at the beginning or some of the jokes in this one won't be as funny.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished The Bookseller of Kabul - Asne Seierstad.

[Sadie]

I forgot to mention that first book in the series is titled "The Spellman Files". I like the author's humor.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Had to stop listening to When Will There Be Good News? - Kate Atkinson as it jumped, so awaiting for a new copy again. I am listening to Black Dogs - Ian McEwan.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Black Sunday and wasn't keen on this book.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished the marvellous The Horse Boy: A Father's Miraculous Journey to Heal his Son - Rupert Isaacson.

[Christy (TheReaderBee)]

I finished Gone by Lisa McMann last night. :)

Nadia...don't know if you've read The Shadow of the Wind, but I'd love to visit the Cemetary of Forgotten Books too!!!

[Christy (TheReaderBee)]

I just finished The Last Olympian today.. it was great! I'm sad to have finished the series though!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I finished Marley & Me: Love and Life with the World's Worst Dog yesterday.

[Melissa]

I loved that book Fiona.Funny and heartwarming

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am about to finish The Shakespeare Secret

[Jerrod]

Jo wrote: "I finished Night Watch"

What did you think?

[Jim]

Is that the one with the vampire named Bones in it, Katie?

[Jim]

My daughter & I both like that series, too. We have 3 of them. I'm not sure I want to read a 4th, but I think she will.

[Jerrod]

Finished Frostbite and found it very enjoyable.

[Jerrod]

Jo wrote: "Finished Jason Dark - Ghost Hunter: Theater of Vampires"

What have you thought of the Jason Dark series? I liked the first one. Much like Wellington's book, it's got great flow.

[Jerrod]

Question, was their an Asian woman in the second volume?

[Jerrod]

Sweet, I was hoping she would at least make an appearance in the next, maybe even partner with Dark. I plan on picking up the rest, nice, quick and easy stories.
