I'm reading the first book in the Maiden Lane series
. I like the writing so far, there's an air of mystery to the main characters that still developing (Caire and his inability to withstand touch and Temperance's secret?), so not sure what to make of them yet.

Robin I just loved it! I love this series also! What book are you on? Maybe we can buddy read it?? I am hoping to finish this series next month.

Its' nice because there's a jump in time so the technology is advancing. It's was weird reading about pagers and pay phones.... it's hard to remember back to what that was like. Strange how we managed to get around. LOL
I'm looking forward to getting to cell phones in this series. While I remember life without these devices, it requires a mind reset every time I read a mystery story from that era.

Oh good! Yes I agree that it is strange reading about pagers and pay phones.

Quynh, I'm loving the Maiden Lane series. The first book has mixed reviews so give this the old two-book rule:)

I love the In Death series because it's set in the future.... there's no "outdating" the series which was really smart and super cool.

I've read the first two books. I'll probably get to the third book in April. (I have too many books planned for March already.) If you don't want to wait, go ahead and read it. You can let me know if it is as good as the previous books.
Robin I have a lot of books already planned for March also. I guess that is what happens when you are a series reader. I already have 4 buddy reads for March. I didnt realize that until after I asked you, I tallied them up. Every time I find someone that is reading the same series to read I ask them to buddy read it. 5 buddy reads might of been a little too much for one month deciding when to plan them all lol!
I finished When Gods Die by C S Harris last night. Looking forward to the discussion.I started C is for Corpse by Sue Grafton. Unfortunately the cover of my edition is not listed :-( It is a lovely vibrant green and blue lizard.
I finished listening to Last Man Standing by David Baldacci and loved it! Classic Baldacci and here's my review.
I'm now listening to Blood Kiss by J.R. Ward, Black Dagger Legacy #1.

I'm starting Split Second
Book # 2&
The Well of Ascension
Book #2. I started as an audiobook but didn't finish and it went back to the library... I have it back again and am going to try and finish even though I'm not enjoying the narration all that much.

I read
Split Second by Alex Kava. I thought it was better than the previous book in the series.My rating: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Then I read
The Defiant Hero by Suzanne Brockmann. I am loving this series.My rating: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Robin wrote: "I read

I finished Split Second by Alex Kava, Maggie O'Dell #2, and it was an improvement over the last book. Here's my review.
I'm now reading You by Caroline Kepnes, You #1.

I'm reading Barefoot Bound by Roxanne St. Claire in anticipation of Gabe's book. Been a long time coming!! Love reading the updates on the other Angelinos in this one too.

Love Uncle Nino! This makes me want to re-read The Guardian Angelinos again. Looks like this year will be my year of re-reading favorite series lol.
Omg! I just went through my Fictfact and I am caught up on all of my series but one and the next book coming up isn't out for a month. What to do?!? Jonetta, you are obviously falling down on the recommendation job lol
You've got to be kidding, Dawn! Yes, I'm definitely falling down on the job.
I do have one I highly recommend and the audio versions are outstanding. You need to check out the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series by Val McDermid. Not for the faint of heart but these stories are GOOD!!! The first book is The Mermaids Singing.
Have you tried Harry Bosch, one of our group series reads? I'm crazy about Harry and I love the audios.

Okay, I've had a chance to check out your shelf. Here are some must reads for you:
Romantic Suspense Series by Karen Rose
Last Chance Rescue Series by Christy Reece
Immortals After Dark Series by Kresley Cole, narrated by the fabulous Robert Petkoff. The first novella is a little weak but the rest of the series is wonderful.
These are just a few but my favorites.

I am so bad at keeping up my shelf. I really haven't added Immortals After Dark? Lol, that is the one I mentioned I am not caught up on. I have almost completed my bundle and I think there are for or five more books. I will check out the others and maybe spend some time catching up in here. I was so far behind on my Fictfact page it still showed I needed to read Wonderment in Death lol.
You're definitely going to need something lighter after that book.
So thrilled you're reading Harry!

When I started, I forgot how unpredictable Pierce Brown can be... I'm 65% through and he hasn't changed.

I finished Risking it All. Excellent features characters from her first series Started
. Not very far in but promising start.
I just finished reading two Will Trent books back-to-back. I didn't like the first of these as well as all the others so far. Today's book is
.It was a 5-star read. I've already ordered the next in the series from the library!
I really want to start the Will Trent series but holding off until I make a dent in some other series!
I finished C is for Corpse by Sue Grafton. I do like the straight forwardness of the main character in this series.I'm now on to A Clash of Kings by George R R Martin. My 2nd attempt at this book so wish me luck!
I'm also going to start Divided in Death by J D Robb.
