Finished Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series



Here are links to my reviews for the rest of the series -

#1 Halfway to the Grave 2.5 ☆
#2 One Foot in the Grave almost 3 ☆
#3 At Grave's End 3 ☆
#4 Destined for an Early Grave 3 ☆
#5 This Side of the Grave 3 ☆
#6 One Grave at a Time 3 ☆
#7 Up from the Grave 3 ☆

Given the average GR rating, I had expected to give these better marks. Maybe they fared worse in comparison because I had just finished the Kate Daniels books. But these initial books didn't have much of any world building. I liked Bones, even though his speech is filled with cliches of British slang, and was initially annoyed by Cat. Many reviews for the first book compared it to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I've never watched that show. Instead, this series felt like HBO's "True Blood" show, especially in its later years.

Picked it up on a friend's recommendation and am not dissapointed.

Hi everyone!

Back from a long three years sabbatical - due to enrollment on a Law degree, out of all things.... - I am back!
Currently reading The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante.

I highly recommend the whole Neapolitan Novels series!

Raw, vivid, brutal and marvelous as only real life can ever be!

Congrats on your degree! I loved this series too. The HBO series is also very good if you haven't seen it - each season covers one novel in the series (two are available so far).

I read it last year, and it took me 3 months to finish! I ended up liking the book, but it was pretty slow at times and really disturbing at others.

It is indeed very slow at first but when I was on the last leg of the story, I started appreciating how each character had been setup because each action made sense. It is a wonderful book :)

[Saumya]

I am currently reading One Summer: America 1927 by Bill Bryson. For a non-fiction work, it has a really good pace and is very enjoyable!

[PattyMacDotComma]

I think most mystery readers are familiar with Daphne du Maurier. I just read Jamaica Inn, a suspenseful "it was a dark and stormy night . . ." thriller.

Interviewing The Dead by David Field is the first in his Carlyle & West Victorian Mystery Series. London, 1892, ghosts of plague victims - what?? A doctor and a preacher join forces to investigate.

Currently finishing A Voice in the Wind which is excellent! Should be able to finish this tonight. Working on W.E.B. DuBois's The Souls of Black Folk, which I did not realize is considered such a seminal work. Not too far into it, but amazed and so disappointed in us/the US at how pertinent it all is yet today... Just starting White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism. Both of these last 2 are for the Bookworm Bitches August monthly read.
Plan to finish Learning Race, Learning Place: Shaping Racial Identities and Ideas in African American Childhoods this weekend. Need to start/read Fahrenheit 451 this weekend and Monday in preparation to lead the Popsugar September discussion.

I plan to start One Hundred Years of Solitude for a September Buddy Read and Alternate Side this next week for a September Literary Wives review this next week.

#0.5

My review - Reckoning 3 ☆

[Brooke]

I just read this book not too long ago. I've always wanted to read it ever since I saw it at Meijer last year. It's pretty good for a kid's book. I would have loved this book as a kid. But then again, I didn't really like any of the picture books as a kid.

[Brooke]

Right now I'm reading these two books at the same time.

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Monster in the Closet by Karen Rose

[PattyMacDotComma]

As a nostalgic break from the 21st century, I revisited the well-loved children's classic The Velveteen Rabbit Or, How Toys Become Real by Margery Williams Bianco. What an excellent visit that was!
5★ Link to my Velveteen Rabbit review with a few illustrations from the original 1922 edition.

[PattyMacDotComma]

In spite of the title, After The Carnage is NOT a grisly thriller but a mixed collection of short stories by talented indigenous Aussie author Tara June Winch, who won the prestigious Miles Franklin award for her latest novel, The Yield. These are urban, international, and varied.

I spoke too soon. Something went wrong in the middle. What a pity! But still worth reading.
