Just finished Angelfall by L. Penelope, It was a very well-written novella, which I recommend to readers of fantasy and/or paranormal romance.

[Victoria]

I did finnish 1984 last night. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with it. I struggled to get in to it, and it failed to keep my attention. There were some interesting and entertaining parts, but there were also a lot of parts I found extremely dull and boring. I was actually relieved when I reached the end of the book.

[Suzanne]

I'm 91% into Two Sisters by Mary Hogan. This is a terrific book. If you're family is not the perfect family, or if you've ever had some conflict with your siblings or parents, then you might love this book. It's so well written that even though I have other things I need to be doing, I can't stop reading this book.

War and Peace was a great book!

[Joe]

Ashley Capes' second Bone Masks book: The Lost Mask

[Luci]

Near the end of H is for Hawk it's very good.

[Pam]

Finished Seventy-Seven Clocks: and now on the fourth in the Bryant and May series, Ten-Second Staircase:

[Cathy]

I'm reading a vintage Nora Roberts, Hidden Riches, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1.... It's not as streamlined as her recent books, but still a fun read. You can see why she's a best-selling author!

[Shelby]

I recently just finished reading Dead Wolf Walking, the third book in the Shapes of Autumn series by Veronica Blade. This is one of my favorite series!

[Theresa]

I have just started reading Fire's Love. I expect to be done with it within a couple days.

[John]

This is my new book Simple Happiness! It is an easy read for anybody, currently free for a limited time only! Please check it out! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C0W8...

[Pam]

Finished Ten-Second Staircase: and now reading the fifth in the Bryant and May series by Christopher Fowler, White Corridor

[Cathy]

I just finished reading Nora Roberts' early book "Hidden Riches" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... While it was a good read, I was not as enamored of it as I have been in most of her other books. My full review is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Rock n roll hootchie koo in Woodstock NY. History of the town from its avant garde artist colonies to the main focus of the book: Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Band, Jimi Hendrix and many other famous artists who lived and created rock from the bottom up. Some pix.

Small Town Talk: Bob Dylan, The Band, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Friends in the Wild Years of Woodstock

[Luci]

I'm well into Stephen King's 11/22/63 it is quite a page turner. Didn't even know about it until the new TV series came out.

[Victoria]

I was away for almost a week, and between not having much reading time while I was away, and spending most of the time since I got back alternating between sleeping and attempting to catch up with things, I've read very little in the past week and a half.

I started listening to the audio version of Death's Heretic on my computer before I left, and have listened to some since I got back, but haven't quite finnished it yet.

I also started Jason and Lily before I left, but since that was on my Kindle I was able to take it with me. I finnished it the night before travelling home, and then started Elegy, which I haven't had a chance to finnish yet.

[Chris]

I've finally just finished Black Magic Man by Ju Ephraime. It wasn't something I usually read, so I had difficulty getting through it. I'm currently reading several different books (as per usual), including The Demonologist by Gerald Brittle and it's pretty much freaking me out. I've had it on my coffee table staring at me for week before I gathered the courage to start it today. I'm also reading The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin, Beyond Belief by Jenna Miscavige Hill, and The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. All of my current reads are pretty easy flows and interesting to me. I have a few others I need to post reviews on that I've finished in the past few months. Honestly, I haven't completed a book in the past few months that really stood out to recommend. I'm exited to see some of the titles mentioned here because I haven't heard of some them especially the Stephen King book. I need to check that one out eventually. I have an enormous list of books to read and review right now. I adore my authors who request reviews, but every now and then I wish I had more time to read something I chose myself. I think I'm going to have to work in some personal choices in my reading plan in the future! Thanks for this thread! I'll be checking back in for other titles.

[CD {Boulder Blvd}]

I just finished Catherine Coulter's The End Game and really enjoyed it.

[Sarah]

Well, I'm currently reading BLOOM, by A.P. Kensey, and OPEN MINDS, by Susan Kaye Quinn.

[Elizabeth]

I just finished Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neil Hurston and loved it! It was a controversial book in its time and it still is now, which makes it all the more appealing!

[Pam]

Just finished White Corridor

[Suzanne]

Reading Me Before You. About halfway through, and I'm loving it.

[Al "Tank"]

Just finished Rise of an Oligarch, and yes, I reviewed it.
Now reading the sequel, Mortal Showdown

Both books are based upon real (and imagined) people and events in Russia and satellites of the old USSR, as well as in Israel. Quite an eye-opener.

[Pam]

Finished Jan Mark's Divide and Rule

[Victoria]

I managed to finnish listening to Death's Heretic a couple of days ago, and finally had a chance to finnish Elegy last night. Now I'm reading King's Folly.

[Patty]

Finished reading
Recommend it even if history is not a favorite genre.

[T.L.]

Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady
(the full unabridged version)

I heard about this one on a 'history of the romance novel' documentary. It was one of the first, and it sounded interesting.

I didn't realise until too late it's said to be the longest novel written in the English language!!! Doh!

So, 3 weeks in and still not even halfway!?
And it's all letters between friends.
Very very slow but I'm sort of enjoying it.
Besides, it's now a battle of stamina. I'm sure I'll get a sense of achievement when I reach the end.

;-p

I've just posted my review for Kevin Lucia's Through a Mirror, Darkly and it just didn't work for me. There's some good story there, but I found some of the writing style a barrier:

You know sometimes you need something twice. That's what I saw the first time. I've had furniture do that to me, too.

Reading The Vengeful Half

It's a YA (I'm not sure what that means, are the young adults the characters or the readers?) magical/fantasy with pointy ears and potions. It also has some cartoony illustrations by the author.

[Victoria]

DJ Zippergirl wrote: "It's a YA (I'm not sure what that means, are the young adults the characters or the readers?)..."

The short answer is "usually both."

Officially, genres and age ranges on books are generally put there as guidelines for readers more than anything, though they'll also give an indication as to the age of the main character(s) when the book is aimed at children or young adults.

[Susan]

Just finished up All the Light We Cannot See. Now I am reading The One and Only Ivan. It is very depressing. :-(

[D.B.]

I recently finished reading Tortilla Flat. Did anyone else have a similar experience? https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Zippergirl]

Thanks Victoria! This book qualified on both counts.

The Vengeful Half

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Next stop: Saving Anna with cults and a white hat hacker:

[A.J.]

Just started The Girl in the Ice, very modern and slang-ridden, which makes it easy to read. On chapter nine now. Finished Follow You Home by Mark Edwards, which was brilliant.

In between I started Shieldwall. LOved the first part and then -suddenly - it got really boring. I will go back to it after I've finished this.

[Pam]

Finished Millennial Women and Phoenix in the Ashes

[Victoria]

I've finnished King's Folly, plus read Outside the Walls and Dried Eggs and Spam. Now I'm reading Mary Queen of the Scots.

[Cathy]

I just finished reading an ARC of The Blacksmith's Bride, by Elisabeth Hobbes. What a lovely romance! Now I'm reading Erica Ridley's The Duke's Accidental Wife, seventh in her series. I think I'm on a wife/bride reading kick right now, lol.

[W.M.]

Re-reading This Is How You Lose Her
and Lost in the City.

I'm currently reading Freakonomics. It's an incredible book that makes you question many things and think in a completely different way. Definitely a recommended read!

Have you seen the movie?? Did you like it?

[Theresa]

I have finished reading and it was a nice easy read. I have also finished reading which was a wonderfully done thoughtful memoir about moving to America and growing up. I have several books in my to-read list and my Dresden hook up has come through again. Many more to come...

[Victoria]

I finnished Mary Queen of the Scots last night, and am just about to start reading Queen Elizabeth Tudor: Journey to Gloriana.

[Cathy]

I just finished The Duke's Accidental Wife, and am now starting The Pirate Lord, by Vanda Vadas.

[Michelle]

I just finished The Fearless Highlander and I haven't decided yet if I want to read Eyes of Ember, The Forbidden Duke, or RE-read Prophecy of the Sisters. I'm wondering if I should lay them out in front of my 6 year old and see which one he decides for me. Haha

[Pam]

Finished book 1 of Louise Lawrence's Llandor series - Journey Through Llandor - and now started book 2, The Road to Irriyan

[Steve]

My last two books were Under the Apple Tree by Dan Wakefield. He is a local author to me and his website is lastlivingfriendofkurtvonegut. Since Kurt is a local author as well I stretched out and read Galapagos. I'd started slaughterhouse five and gave up, but found this book entertaining.
I really liked Under the Apple Tree as I'm a sap for good world war 2 stories

That's one way to decide, I guess, LOL!

I read Queen Elizabeth Tudor: Journey to Gloriana and Sands of Time yesterday, and am just starting Heritage.
