Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments My Seal Team 12 book for March finally came in yesterday, so I read it today: Show No Fear (SEAL Team 12, #7) by Marliss Melton .

I gave it four stars, liked it quite a lot.

I give the cover a *meh* -- not because the model is awful, but because Lucy thinks over and again how much she likes Gus's very hairy chest.

Why do all these guys wax?????

Lol! I'd pay to see a little hair:)


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments I finished listening to the third and last book in the Grace Valley series Down by the River by Robyn Carr. I am now listening to Out of Control (Book 4) by Suzanne Brockmann.


I am still reading Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear from March.

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I'm reading David Baldacci's book: The Camel Club (Camel Club, #1) by David Baldacci , and I'm more than halfway through. The suspense mounts, and I'm intrigued by the four guys in "the Camel Club."
They all must have tremendous back stories.

No, I didn't. It came up a couple of days ago when I was doing the character copying and I realized I'd forgotten it!

Jonetta, I read your review a few minutes ago. Do you recall what gave you trouble at end of book? I don't know how to put my feeling about some loose ends into precise words. If you remember, could you send me a spoiler about this? Thanks.

We chose this as a group read a few years ago on Shelfari and I was able to find the old book discussion. Here's what I said there about the ending:

Meera | 138 comments I just finished Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike, #3) by Robert Galbraith , which I loved and I can't wait till she comes out with the next one. Next up, I am most likely going to pick up Fire Touched (Mercy Thompson, #9) by Patricia Briggs or The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater .

I loved Career of Evil, too. When she releases the next book, we should do a buddy read. There are a number of us here reading the series. I switched to audio after the first book and am now hooked on that format.


message 3727: by ❆ Crystal ❆ (new)

❆ Crystal ❆ (crystal_wright) I love the audio format for the series as well, Jonetta. It's great.


message 3728: by Megalion (new)

Megalion One of my latest reads was the latest Lincoln Rhyme book by Jeffrey Deaver. LOVED IT especially because Amelia Sachs takes front stage this time. And I love imagining her as Angelina Jolie still. Even though they didn't make her a red head in the movie yet Amelia definitely is A RED HEAD. Deaver never lets you forget that.

I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the 3rd African Immortals book by Tananarive Due, Blood Colony. I've read a lot of series lately but this one has blown me away like I've not been since reading the Sirantha Jax series last summer by Ann Aguirre. I'm "next" on the hold list according to Overdrive.

Aguirre has several series, I've loved them all. Sirantha and the very loosely related Dred series. They share one character.

Needless to say, Aguirre and Due are two of my newest FAVORITE AUTHORS.

At this very moment, not reading an official series book. I've decided to try and read all of the long listed books for Bailey's Women Prize for Fiction. Formerly known as the Orange Award. I had never noticed before that it's for female authors only. In any case, since I didn't have any of the books at that very moment, I started with one from last year's longlist. Life after Life by Kate Atkinson. It was on my mental "hurry up and read this highly lauded book already" anyways. It's interesting but haven't yet seen what made it so talked about.

I've several of the 2016 longlist nominees now but can't decide which to start with. Gotta libraries with a HUGE Overdrive selection.

I forgot about that one. I've read the first two and enjoyed them but forgot to get around to reading the third one from last year. I think it was a good move on her part to use a psuedonym. Help thoroughly dismiss subconscious comparisons/expectations to Harry Potter.

Me too! I don't know if I'll be able to join a buddy read.... I'll be on hold with the library and who knows when I'll get it. I may buy it, if my library doesn't get the audiobook version. I'll just have to see.

What's the problem?


message 3737: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) It's supposed to be funny. It is an enemies to lovers trope. This boy and girl have been rivals and trying to one up each other since elementary school.

But now they are business owners, live in houses next to each other and this constant prank pulling seems childish. The hero actually bought a house next to her to annoy her.

It's not funny. I know that deep down he's attracted to her but grown men don't pull hair to get girls attention past high school do they?

Book 2 was so entertaining that I'm like "WTH?" I'm so bummed but I'm soldiering on. I got 7 more hours.

Yeah, I find this author a hit or miss. Liked the first two in the series and this one was a 2 star read for me and #5 was 3. I own #4 Truce and I started it and then couldn't keep going.


message 3740: by Giulia (new)

Giulia | 117 comments Sounds like the author wanted it to be light and entertaining? Maybe she took it too far, probably to get the enemies to lovers. Yeah, I don't know if I would want to read that.


message 3741: by ❆ Crystal ❆ (new)

❆ Crystal ❆ (crystal_wright) I'm starting Harry Bosch # 12 Echo Park Echo Park (Harry Bosch, #12) by Michael Connelly

Thanks, Jonetta. That event was a huge disappointment for me, too.


message 3743: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) It's definitely a 2-star read. I already bought books 3-5:(
I will try 4 tomorrow. I need a filler before BDB on April 4

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I pulled an all-nighter to read Karin Slaughter's Will Trent #7: Unseen (Will Trent, #7) by Karin Slaughter .

I couldn't put the book down, and I woke up thinking about some of the characters. I want to see Sara move forward with one particular issue, but I won't give a spoiler because this book is too good to spoil on even the tiniest level.

I am really looking forward to #8 in Will Trent. I'll have plenty of series to read while I'm waiting, but I must say that if #8 were available right now, I'd be finding a way to get my hands on it :)


message 3745: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 974 comments Yes! Cant wait to read this book this month. We have to wait till July for #8. It just cant come soon enough.:(

Stephanie you will love this series if you don't mind gritty suspense thrillers.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments I finished Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear and enjoyed it but found it a but slower. I am now reading another historical mystery, Dressed for Death by Julianna Deering.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments Stephanie wrote: "Excellent, Kris!! I think I need to add both of Slaughter's series to my list!! :D"

Just some advice...read the Grant series before the Will Trent just because Will Trent series takes off from Grant and will have spoilers. And, please let us know what you think of them when you do get to them :)

Mary Beth  | 974 comments I agree with Kris, Stephanie! I read Will Trent first and really wish I didnt. Im happy that you finally decided to read these two series.
