I love the use of multiple narrators! Really makes the book come alive. :)

      Finished Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet last night and absolutely loved it. Was even a little choked up at the end. Sigh... 
Am reading a rom-suspense now by Julie Miller, Nanny 911.

I loved this book also, but read it not listened. My eyes get soooo tired sometimes, I should try audiobooks. Hmmmm, food for thought.
 I almost never read YA romance BUT I just finished "That Boy by Jillian Dodd, and absolutely loved it. So much fun. I love the teen feel of the artwork throughout the book - made me remember when I did the same doodles back in high school

I really liked Hotel on the Corner as well. It was very sweet. I think I gave it 3 stars (which is good for me :)
 Reading:Port MortuaryJust like reviews state on this book, it is pretty stupid. Has gotten better further in. most are saying her new books are not worth reading and I agree. I keep getting them since my ;library is limited, and they have a lot of hers.Whine , Whine , whine. the theme of book.

 I seem to be a bit tired of mysteries/thrillers at the moment so I'm reading A Hearth in Candlewood and Love Over Scotland. Of course, I'll probably be back with a mystery as soon as I finish White Fang which I'm reading as slowly as possible because I love this book.

     Well I love the movie and finally bit the bullet and am doing the book:

   As usual way different than move. I think the movie ruined it for me. Marie is so different in the book. I love her in the movie and hated them killing her off. Does that also happen in book 2? May not want to read it then. I like her vulnerability and and dependence on him in movie with his lead. In book she is more like the lead and not a nobody as in the movie. I guess it is more romantic the way movie does, but not practical if it was real life. Also book drags in spots, whereas movie is action go go.

 which I happened to see at library and have always been interested in this story. I am disappointed in it. ( I know there was movie of this also and think it would be better. )I read reviews on here and they were pretty low ranking so I am wondering whether to pursue it or not. Too many books to waste time.

      Reading Moon Called by Patricia Briggs, the first in a series of paranormal romances with werewolves. Have books 2-4 waiting in the wings, all on loan from a friend.

 White Fang was a really good read. On to complete a short series, Angels and Demons. I've already read The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbolso might as well go back and read the first one.

My friend has the first of the A&O series for me to read, too. Should keep me busy for at least a week. *g*

I like Alpha & Omega, too, but prefer Mercy Thompson.
        
      Finished the first book, starting the second. My friend picked up two more books in the two series yesterday. Going to be a busy May, lol.
    
  
  
   I am about to read Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan. I just finished several nonfics & my semester textbooks (of course). I am also reading Snuff by Terry Pratchett. Haven't decided which cozy is up next. I'm leaning toward book 2 from Anne George's Southern Sisters series, "Murder on a Bad Hair Day"

Melodie, it'd be easier if I prefered one over the other. With the last A&O book, I'm just as hooked on that series.
 I don't have a fav. genre outside of a cozy. My mood dictates my selection. The last book I read outside the cozy genre was The Help. Great Book. I am in the middle of reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I also enjoy Maeve Binchy,Julie Garwood,Catherine Coulter (I've read most of the FBI Thriller series),Judith McNaught among many others.

I read that series and really enjoyed it. I loaned them to my mom,she loaned them to her friends and they all enjoyed the series. They agreed with me that it is always nice to see main characters a little more in our age range as well as the younger ones.
      I'm reading A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch who is a British author. It's historic mystery, quite slow moving, but interesting for the other-world-time atmosphere.

 For this month's F2F book group, I'm listening to Killing Floor, Lee Child's first Jack Reacher book. It is definitely NOT a cozy, and I'm not sure I'll continue the series.

Like DonnaCarol, I tend to read little bits of everything, depending on what mood I'm in at the moment -- and what books are due back at the library first :) Favorite non-cozy authors include Catherine Coulter, Debbie Macomber, Steve Berry, Mary Kay Andrews, Elin Hilderbrand and Michelle Moran.

   within the next week. The Spenser series was always one of my absolute favorites. I figured there wouldn't be any more with Parker's passing last year, but actually looking forward to Ace Atkins' take on the books. I've read some of his other stuff and he's a good writer.

      Andrea, I read "The Fionavar Tapestry" a lot of years ago and I liked it a lot but I think it's the series I've cried more.
    
  
  
  
        
      What could be better during round after round of thunderstorms than a good, creepy suspense? I spent most of the day curled up with Tami Hoag's Deeper Than the Dead, finishing before dinner. Will definitely be seeking out the second and third books in this series!
    
  
  
   I read anything and everything so I can never say what I might be reading if I'm not reading a cozy but right now I am reading Sacre Bleu By Christopher Moore.

     Finished Angels and Demons and have started Beggarman, Thief which I'm reading before I forget too much of Rich Man, Poor Man.
