Kateb | 55 comments Exactly Tracy , I have one kindle with my comfort reads on and another with stuff with a bit more depth.

In Australia at the moment it is a cold winter, chilly winds. I am sitting in a comfy chair, music in the background reading comfort books. Is it too early for wine? I think so.

Exactly! I love those stories and I never get tired of them. I dont care that the plot doesnt go anywhere or takes baby steps! The story is the fun part for me! These are the books I dont get serious about I just enjoy!

Yes, I agree. My one complaint is that there are several POVs and their voices all sound too much alike, if that makes sense, so that it is hard to keep straight who is talking. I haven't really gotten hooked like I thought I would, I find myself putting it down and being o.k. with not picking it up, but then when I do pick it up, I like it... it is a weird one for me, but I am hanging in there because the stories are starting to connect now and I want to see where it goes.

Have you tried the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews? I think it's UF, but it's about the same as Mercy Thompson. More sexy times.

Currently reading Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts and about to start Save the Date by Morgan Matson

Victoria | 259 comments I finished The Smell of Other People's Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock and I liked it overall but it wasn't as good as I was hoping. I am now reading The Color of Bee Larkham's Murder by Sarah J. Harris and I am enjoying it a lot, very interesting. I haven't wanted to put it down :)

Yes I have tried it and it is one I will continue but I go through a book a day so I am looking for multiple series :) And yes you are right it is like Mercy Thompson and a ton of other series.

Victoria | 259 comments Just finished Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands #1) by Alwyn Hamilton which seems to be a love it or hate it book according the reviews. I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it just fine and will probably move on to the second one. Now I am starting Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman and while I am slightly confused, I am sticking with it because I hear it gets really good.

I tried his Unwind series and only finished the first one. I may look into Challenger Deep to see if I like it better.

Tamara (chronicbookaholic) | 13 comments I'm currently reading The Golem and the Djinni (The Golem and the Djinni #1) by Helene Wecker .
It's very slow, I'm roughly 240 pages in & the two leads have just met each other. It's a mix of Arabic & Jewish folklore/mythology & it's sucked me right in.

Taylor Miner | 62 comments currently just got back in to reading again. I'm re-reading A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas and im really happy to read these books; im going through a hard time right now and it's nice to read something from an author that understands your problems and who even creates characters that have been through the same things as you like depression, insomnia, mood swings, i.e. Its just nice to relate.
