That sounds like a good one. I love good setting descriptions woven into the story.

Getting ready to start

[Karen M]

I just started Margaret's Ark which I had gotten as a free download but I noticed it was listed this week as a GoodReads Giveaway.

[Erin L]

Just finished . It kept me up until 2am so I could finish it so it must've been pretty good, right?

I'm catching up on my urban fantasy and thrillers. next up is

[Melodie]

I'm almost finished with . Has been a really slow read for me because it's written in "dialect" which I find distracting, but the book is actually pretty good. Just started , which I've been anxiously awaiting!

[Karen M]

Still reading Margaret's Ark which I'm really enjoying and I'm loving Angela's Ashes.

Loved Angela's Ashes.

[Erin L]

Finished and recently and now I'm reading which is back to the sci-fi/fantasy genre. It looks really good so far.

[So]

[Donna]

I've been wondering about this one. Have seen really mixed reviews.

[Karen M]

On Kindle I'm reading Asylum which I thought would be heavy going but definitely is not and 44 Scotland Street which is different.

Reading

[Jennifer]

Finished And Then There Were None -- probably one of my favorite Christies so far, which surprised me. Finished The Brass Verdict also - which since I unexpectedly find myself serving on a jury this week was kind of apropos. Ripping through The Affair: A Reacher Novel , The Kitchen Witch , and my pen-pal books for two of my groups: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society ; and The Borgia Bride -- each fascinating in its own way and all very different reads.

Next I'll be reading for an animal reading challenge I'm in.

[❂ Murder by Death]

I'm listening to Soulless on audio and really the narrator is just excellent! I am loving this book! :)

Yay!

I'm reading Stephen King's
Since I write cozy, King is a nice change. He's moved away from his early horror style, and this book is an intriguing "what if?" time travel story. At over 800 pages, it should keep me occupied for a while!

I read this back in January, Mary Ellen, and LOVED it! It'll definitely be on my Top Reads list for this year. Not to offer a spoiler or anything, but the ending was not typical King. GREAT book!

[Maria]

I posted a freebie cozy on my blog yesterday...what was it...Nearly...no wait.

Never Buried

There was also A Bad Spell in Yurt which I really liked--it's cozy fantasy.

Meanwhile, I've been reading Frank Tuttle's Markhat stories (cozy urban fantasy. Maybe a little darker than cozy, but nothing too scary. I love them.)

I'm also about to start Patricia Briggs' latest.

OH-if you like cozy fantasy: Unicorn on Speed Dial was a great read!!!

Good to know, Melodie - thanks! In the meantime, I'm not rushing to get to the end but savoring each chapter.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I've just read Discount Armageddon and I've enjoyed it a lot. Light fantasy with an humor I can relate, a lot of action and some nice characters. I'm looking forward for the next one... next year :(

[Melodie]

I should finish up this evening and plan to start after that!

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Will be starting Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë this weekend, a March read for another group here at GR.

[Erin L]

I have fair game on hold at the library and I can't wait for it to get here!

I've recently read and LOVED the Body Finder. Wasn't so fond of Defending Jacob.

Next up in non-cozy is

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished Agnes Grey before bed last night and quite liked it, though the children in it are absolute horrors.

[Kaye]

Finished Haunted Ground last night and liked it a lot, especially the Ireland setting. Good mystery and good characters!

Reading A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott.

[Melissa]

I am currently reading and so far it is pretty good.

[Karen M]

This morning started Big Easy which is interesting already.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished reading A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott this morning. This was a lot different from the Alcott books most of us grew up on--an adult thriller featuring deceipt, betrayal and a pretty scary stalker. It started out a bit slow, but then stayed up late last night trying to finish it (got within three chapters of the end before calling it quits). I liked it, but had a difficult time rating it. In the end I gave it a three, since we can't do 3.5 and it wasn't quite a four for me.

[[deleted user]]

I'm currently reading The Maid of Fairbourne Hall by Julie Klassen. Not that far into yet, but so far it is quite good!

[Karen M]

Only 16 pages to go on Big Easy and I finished Chill Waters this morning. Both are very good thriller/murder books. I'm starting A Death at the North Pole.

[Susan]

Iam reading Black Diamond by John F. Dobbyn.

[Karen]

Really liked :

[Ellen]

Other kinds of fiction-including more "hard core" type mysteries (I'm currently reading ) as well as regular fiction-right now I'm reading Ward Just's .

I do read some non-fiction-I just finished Jon Krakauer's wonderful book about Mormonism and its fundamentalists, .

Read UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN a few years ago and thought it was very good.

[Erin L]

Read Shelf Monkey over the weekend. At first, I didn't like it much. But to be fair, it was the characters I didn't like, but the book itself was kinda funny and interesting and made me look at how I look at books.

[Traci]

I follow James Patterson, he's always turning out new books....

[Kaye]

Finished last night and loved it. Still slogging away at *Yawn* and then will be starting

[Melodie]

Finished and thought it was VERY good! Had an interesting ending!

[Karen M]

Okay, I finished A Death at the North Pole, strange book. I'm also reading another strange one, The Long Midnight Of Barney Thomson and also Wild & Steamy which hopefully is exactly what the three novellas are. I just need a change. LOL

[Kaye]

Finished Saving Ruth: A Novel last night. It's a quick read. Good read, well done although the ending was just a little too neat and tidy for the circumstances.

Listening to on audiobook.

Loved this series until the last 3 books or so. Haven't read the most recent one since the one before was just awful!

[Peggy]

I hope that is not the one that is on my bookshelf waiting to be read. Undead and Unfinished ...I have read them all and have enjoyed them, had my husband read them and he too like them. But he said Undead and Unfinished felt like it was rushed.Thoughts?

I love the "Undead" series, but have not yet read the current or previous book.
