Ellen (ellenpenleysmith) Finished Moon Called. :D Hunting Ground is next for me.


message 152: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I loved Nights Cold Kiss!! Hope you both like it, Darcy and Jess.


message 153: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Good to hear you liked it Valorie!!


message 154: by Jess (new)

Jess | 3721 comments Darcy wrote: "Jess, if you can pop back on here and let me know what you think I would appreciate it. It is one that I picked up today and have been looking forward to based on how the cover looked."

It was good, I liked it. It wasn't amazing or anything, but it was a decent read. It had an interesting storyline, but I felt a little lost in the beginning. I have a feeling the second book is going to be even better.


message 155: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Jess that for letting me know. I'll make sure to give it a little longer than I would normally if it starts out slow.

Jess | 3721 comments Darcy wrote: "Jess that for letting me know. I'll make sure to give it a little longer than I would normally if it starts out slow. "

Yeah they were throwing words around and I was just confused about what each word meant. But after maybe a chapter or two, things begin to get explained.


message 157: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Jess this sounds like it might be a slower read to take in the world and character building. I don't mind that as long as there is story along with all the info dumps.

Yeah that's why I have a feeling the second book will be better. This one was still good though.


 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) I finished Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate #1) by Gail Carriger and now I'm reading Touch the Dark (Cassandra Palmer, #1) by Karen Chance . Good stuff, so far.


message 160: by Sarah (new)

Sarah  | 766 comments Yay! Another potential Cassie convert! :)


message 161: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. Finished Pride last night. I really like this series. I'm now reading Prey.


message 162: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Carolyn that is a great series. I can't wait for the next one!!


message 163: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. Darcy, do you know when the next book is coming out?


message 164: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Shift, is the next one to come out and it is slated for March 1st. So close now.

You are just reading all my favorites!

Ellen (ellenpenleysmith) I finished Hunting Ground and I still have a million of book left to read! :/

Going to read Stolen next! :D


message 168: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. Finished Prey. Such a good series. Now I'm starting The Good, the Bad, and the Undead. First time reading Kim Harrison.


message 169: by Lynn (new)

Lynn (lkksu) | 10 comments I am currently reading "Covet" by JR Ward. I am just almost 200 pages in and loving it! It is a great "roller coaster" read. So far, I might say this book is as good if not better than the "BDB" series.


message 170: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Carolyn, not sure if you are aware but that is the second book in the series. You may want to wait and read Dead Witch Walking first. I know some people can read series out of order, but I am just not one of them.


message 171: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. Oops, I'm read Dead Witch Walking first. I wasn't able to start it at lunch so I'll switch it tonight. Thanks Darcy.


message 172: by Darcy (last edited Jan 14, 2010 03:16PM) (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Carolyn for this series there is so much world building that it is definitely better to read in order. Good thing your lunch plans didn't work out. LOL


message 173: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ I'm about halfway through with Deep Fathom which is an excellent global thriller.


message 174: by Darcy (new)

Oh Darcy, let me know how that is. I've been interested in reading it.


message 176: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I just finished Red Fire (Gods of Midnight, #1) by Deidre Knight and really enjoyed it. I loved that she used the Spartans as the male heroes. I just kept picturing the hot men from the 300 movie through the whole book - YUM! I'm now moving on to Wild Rain (Leopard People, #2) by Christine Feehan


message 177: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jnhart) | 97 comments Just finished Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1) by George Martin

Absolutely loved it! I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Next up is Fire Me Up (Aisling Grey Guardian, #2) by Katie MacAlister (it's due back to the library in a day or 2)


message 178: by Melodie (new)

Melodie (melodieco) I finished Kitty Raises Hell (Kitty Norville, Book 6) by Carrie Vaughn the other day. WAY better than Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand (Kitty Norville, Book 5) by Carrie Vaughn ! Will get to Kitty's House of Horrors (Kitty Norville, #7) by Carrie Vaughn in the next day or so.


message 179: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Melodie, drop back and let me know what you think of the new Kitty book. I loved parts of it and thought the first half was super funny, classic Kitty.

I do agree with you about Raises Hell better than Dead Man's hand.


message 180: by Susan (Suz) (new)

Susan (Suz) (sharney) | 292 comments I finished both Danse Macabre (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #14) by Laurell K. Hamilton & The Highlander's Touch by K. Moning and have started The Harlequin (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #15) by Laurell K. Hamilton & The Becoming (Anna Strong, #1) by Jeanne C. Stein

Amanda Orlich Ahern (kittymeowxcore) | 65 comments Finished The Summoning (Darkest Powers, #1) by Kelley Armstrong and The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong . Right now I'm about a third of the way through [image error] , which I'm REALLY liking. Next I'm going to start Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead .

I really liked that book, too. I know some people weren't fond of it, but I love the world it opened. I'm really looking forward to Crave.

Bitter Night A Horngate Witches Book by Diana Pharaoh Francis

Jess, I would move this one up in your list, I really liked it, it is very different from what is out there. I was worried at first because there was a lot of info in the first 20 pages, then they introduced one of the main characters and the story flew by from there. Some great points, the woman needs, yes that is needs 20,000-30,000 calories a day to survive. Just think of all the great food we could eat if that was us, chocolate, cheesecake, chips, and all the other bad food. Plus she has a violent hate and want to kill the woman how put her in her situation, which I loved as they started out as friends. The world was a fun one, where words like "I promise", "I owe you", and "honor" actually mean something and actually can do more than bullets, knives, and RPG's.



message 184: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. Starting Dead Witch Walking today. Was going to last night but thought I'd take a break and read a small book in between so read Loving Lies which I swear was recycled from one of Lora Leigh's Nauti books.


message 185: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Carolyn you are right, it does sound like one of the Nauti books.

Thanks for the info Darcy!! I'm excited to read it. I have to see if the library has it.

I just started Skinwalker Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, #1) by Faith Hunter it's interesting so far!

Jess can you pop back here to let me know about this one. I keep seeing it all over all of a sudden and think it looks good.

I am going for Scorched (The Dark Forgotten, #2) by Sharon Ashwood next. I have a friend that read it and she loved it. I thought the first one in the series was ok, so hopefully this one is better.

Patricia (catnaping) | 415 comments I finished Inked Anthology it was pretty good and I'm startingBound By Sin bk 3 in the series and i'm listening to J.D Robb Strangers in Death


message 189: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ Just started In Over Her Head the debut book from Judi Fennell. Reminiscent of MaryJanice Davidson's Fred the Mermaid series. Lots of fish humor.


message 190: by The Flooze (new)

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1831 comments I am starting Would-be Witch by Kimberly Frost.

Mostly because I fear for my life. Amelia will murder me if I don't read it soon.

I just finished Vincent's My Soul to Save, and though I liked the overall plot, I'm feeling rather meh about it and finding it hard to write a review.

Have fun with that book. I picked it up on a lark and ended up really liking it. The cover doesn't do the book justice. I think my favorite character is the cat, the interactions with it are super funny.


message 192: by Sandra (new)

Sandra  (sleo) I'm almost finished with Claimed by Shadow, a Cassie Palmer book and trying to figure out if I want to slog through all her battles to the end. So far I like it ok but find myself rolling my eyes a little at the continuing chaos and admittedly funny but sometimes tiresome antics. My mind is in a whirl aas I look through all the threads and recommendations and try to decide what I want to read next. I'm kind of a snob about what I read....

I really enjoyed the Rachel Morgan series. I think she's coming out with another one soon?

I loved Ravenous, the first book. I'm hoping to get to Scorched soon!! Hope you enjoy it!


message 195: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I finished Wild Rain by Christine Feehan and really enjoyed it. I'm now moving on to Prince of Shadows by Susan Krinard

Yes, her new one comes out every spring. It's called Black Magic Sanction (Rachel Morgan/The Hollows, #8) by Kim Harrison .

I am finding Scorched, not as good as Ravenous. I read about 40 pages last night and got bored, so put it down to read another. I picked it back up today and all day it was really easy to put down. I figured the second book would be more about the guys Alessandro worked with, but it is about Mac, the police detective. It almost reads like it isn't connected and would seem that way if not for Holly and Alessandro.

Well that sucks! Hopefully it will get better.


message 199: by Sandra (new)

Sandra  (sleo) I finished Claimed by Shadow and am on to Embrace the Night The ending of Claimed was powerful and sad... All in all a good book.
