Susan (the other Susan) (theothersusan) | 259 comments Kate, I read Wicked many years ago when nobody knew there would be a series, much less a Broadway musical. One of the many books I've picked by its cover while browsing the shelves, and really liked.

If you're intrigued by the retelling of a classic story from a different point of view. I highly recommend Wide Sargasso Sea. It's the Jane Eyre story as experienced by the "madwoman" in the attic, Mr. Rochester's secret wife, who grew up on a Caribbean plantation and found herself living in an isolated house in Victorian England, where her sensual nature and free spirit made her a misfit. (Who wouldn't go crazy?!) An exquisite, heartfelt novel.


Susan (the other Susan) (theothersusan) | 259 comments Re-read of Truman Capote's classic In Cold Blood. I first read it decades ago, out of curiosity. This time, I think I'm reading it to come to terms with the murders 4 years ago of a friend and her daughter. In Cold Blood is really about the killers, the inexplicable Why, and is considered the first literary true crime book. Capote spent six years researching and writing it.

Cindy | 2 comments Just finished Surviving Raine series, I kinda like it since the story is from Hero's POV and not all rainbows and puppies, going to search other books by the same author

I'm reading Consumed by Fire and I'm loving it. This woman, I tell you, she can write. Loving James. Heroine is a more messy than typical for Stuart but I like Evangeline. It will probably get five stars from me.

I do love Anne Stuart too! I am anxiously waiting for this book on Kindle, which does not come out until May. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

I just finished the Ash Trilogy by Shiloh Walker and really enjoyed all three books. If You Hear Her is the first book in the series.

Erin (atl_librarian) | 1 comments I am reading through the 'Eternal Guardians' series by Elisabeth Naughton. Band of warriors with varying abilities and skills. Their mates are even more unique and interesting. Set in mythical Argolea, based on Greek mythology. The first few titles are good, but by book three the action and heat factor really starts to pick up. Highly recommend the series!

This does look good and it's highly rated by my goodreads friends


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) @ Kryptonite, @ Tammy,

Well if/when you decide to read it I'd be interested in your thoughts - don't worry if you struggle with the different writing style to begin with (though it could of just been me) once it gets into it its really good. plus the book is a fatty, which means i'll be entertained for a while! ^_^ always a bonus.

Yea i have of habit of not continuing a series, especially is the books are more on the chunky size. I intend to read the rest of the series but i put it off... then i forget details, and i don't want to read the first book again.. and well its just kinds of keeps going. lol.

Same happened with the Outlander series, though now there's a tv show, so if i really wanted to be lazy... lol.

I finished rereads of Cinderman by Anne Stuart and Fire And Ice (Ice, #5) by Anne Stuart and loved them. Reno is such a crazy hero. I'm totally in love with him.

I loved how Daniel from
Cinderman is essential a comic book hero. Sexy Nerd Alert.

Tammy | 395 comments Just finished Black Rainbow by J.J. McAvoy . It would have been a three star read but all the errors brought it down to a two. It really was an enjoyable read about a professor/student relationship. Also a lot like the show How To Get Away With Murder

S. Rivera (sjacksonrivera) | 15 comments I'm working on finishing up my soon to be released wet Part 3 Wet Part 3 by S. Jackson Rivera

But I started Knocked Up by the Bad Boy, by Vanessa Waltz. Knocked Up by the Bad Boy (Cravotta Crime Family, #2) by Vanessa Waltz I read erotica but I like the love story more than the 'uh-hem' scenes, and find myself skipping pages and pages of some books because the erotica parts bore me. This one started out a little strong, making me regret my download but I am a diehard and don't give on books easily. I'm so glad I hung in there. It is keeping my mind a little TOO occupied. Like I said, I'm supposed to be writing Wet Part 3, but I keep sneaking in a few more pages here and there. Johnny is keeping me riveted.

✿ Natalie ✿ | 428 comments I've just started listening to Marco's Redemption by Lynda Chance and I'm really not sure at the moment on this one. Lots of telling us about their feelings rather than the showing. But I'll continue on to see where the story leads..

And am reading Blood and Roses book 3 Burn (Blood & Roses, #3) by Callie Hart a series which I am really enjoying.


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) I also managed to finish The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss which only took forever! at least it was an enjoyable read!!! i'm looking frward to the next one!
At the moment I'm reading People Skills by Robert Bolton which i borrowed off a friend, its actually pretty interesting!!
