Kristi Jung | 5 comments I just finished Lure of the Devil, by Auryn Hadley. It was a great book (5 stars) and I can’t wait for the next book to come in June. Its a book about Heaven vs Hell, multiple worlds (including earth), God and the Devil. Very interesting and entertaining. Magic is in the story, but it is explained as if it was science.

I found the book on Amazon unlimited.

Lisazj1 | 10 comments I just finished reading SK's new one, If It Bleeds by Stephen King and finished up a sci-fi series I loved, last book Inversion Point (Chaos Station, #4) by Jenn Burke . I also read Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid , which everybody loved but me. I finished Slippery Creatures (The Will Darling Adventures #1) by K.J. Charles last night, which was amazing, and I'm just now starting Aurora Burning (The Aurora Cycle #2) by Amie Kaufman . After that, I might read a couple more of J.D. Robb's In Death series or maybe Nora Roberts' new one coming up, Hideaway by Nora Roberts .

AℳY♔Queen of Fat cats♔Ain't no lie Baby Byebyebye (emyoverland) | 183 comments The last book I read was

The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Lecter, #2) by Thomas Harris
I read it cuz I was about to watch the movie for the first time last weekend, but stupid me didn't know it was book 2# of a series Whoops. But I wasn't confused, just resented there was so much of Crawford and Movie is better anyway, you should watch TSOTL before starting series and then skip red dragon and hannibal as movies, they're terrible.

It looks like my copy was already second handed when it entered my personal "library" and apparently it was acquired before I was born!!!! No kidding!!! Is that legal?? I felt like Harry potter and the half blood prince. Puked on it by the looks of it LOL!!!!

The book I'm reading now is
Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith

1) I requested a recommendation of a paranormal book that was the opposite of safe, something the safety gals would avoid and my friend recommended books that aren't safe. Picked this one cuz living dead = bae

message 15: by stephanie (new)

stephanie (disneygirl) In May so far I have read..... As Old As Time by Liz Braswell The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton Themes and Variations by David Sedaris Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy Cat and Mouse (Alex Cross, #4) by James Patterson Stillhouse Lake (Stillhouse Lake, #1) by Rachel Caine Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (Shopaholic, #2) by Sophie Kinsella Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon , March Book One (March, #1) by John Lewis

How did you find the book? In order of books..... 6 (I love everything Disney), 1, 3, 6 (read with daughter for school), 2, 3, 6 (James Patterson fan), 3, 1, 2, 6 (school book for daughter)

Format: All Ebook except As Old as Time, Cat and Mouse, Shopaholic and March were Paperback

How did you get your hands on it: 5, 6, 1, 6, 6, 1, 8 (thrift store), 1, 8 (thrift store), 6, 8 (school)

Currently reading...... We Were Liars by E. Lockhart and Rise of the Isle of the Lost (Descendants #3) by Melissa de la Cruz

Found We Were Liars through Goodreads recommendation, Rise of the Isle is continuation of series I started, I borrowed We were Liars ebook from my library and bought Rise paperback from Barnes and Nobles.

For all the ones I read The Forgotten Garden and We Were Yours were by far my favorites. March and Long Way Down were okay. As was Cat and Mouse. I wish I could have liked that one more as I usually LOVE James Patterson. I really struggled with that one. I love his Womens Murder Club Mystery series much more. Themes and Variations is a VERY short humorous quick read if you need something to mix things up in between books.

Technically Audible.

I'm taking advantage of audible escape and binging romance... which I don't delve into a bunch. I found I enjoy this series very much even though I was a bit skeptical of the setting/world building at first.

Lauren Johnston | 2 comments I’ve read The Sisters of Auschwitz by Roxane Van Iperen which was amazing!

Also read Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts, which was as always a work of art in my opinion.

Both of these reads were in my May reads.

I’m just about to start The Neighbour by Fiona Cummins, so I’m looking forward to this one.

Audrey (niceyackerman) | 15 comments The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn by Tyler Whitesides
I got it at a book signing with Tyler Whitesides and Brian McClellan. I hadn't heard of it until then.

The Children of Abydos by Edita A. Petrick The Children of Abydos
I got this ebook in exchange for marking the typos. It ended up being quite boring.

Middlegame Middlegame by Seanan McGuire
I heard about it through Goodreads and checked out the eaudiobook from the library. But I couldn't get into it and DNF'd.

Ender's Shadow Ender's Shadow (The Shadow Series, #1) by Orson Scott Card
I first read this a long time ago. I checked out the eaudiobook, being desperate for library materials and disappointed by Middlegame.

Currently reading ...
Active Memory Active Memory (Mirador, #3) by Dan Wells
Third in this trilogy. I heard of the series at a book signing for the author. I bought the first one there, and I got this one later, at comic con? I think.

and

Promise of Blood Promise of Blood (Powder Mage, #1) by Brian McClellan
I heard about the series a long time ago and am finally getting around to it. I bought them out of order. I think I bought the second one with the Ador Benn book, and I think I got this one at comic con.

and

The World According to Dave Barry by Dave Barry The World According to Dave Barry
I picked this up at the thrift store. It's a compilation of three books. I read at least two of them back around 1990.

BTW, I'll add some of the books of the discussions and polls to our group's shelves provided I can find the cover in the thread. The shelves show in the home page and they're a good way to showcase the books that appeal to our members.
