Very jealous Darcy.

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments You'll get to them eventually, Heather. :)

Jessica B | 292 comments I finished Nobody's Baby But Mine (Chicago Stars, #3) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips last night. I absolutely loved it! I love how SEP can make a weird situation(like the plot line of this book) into an amazing love story!

Samantha | 432 comments She's such a fun storyteller. :)

She is, Samantha.
I really liked Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie , but I'm not liking that much of this authors early stuff. It's good and bad at the same time.

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 1272 comments I just read Percy Jackson the lightning thief it was wonderful. On to book two.

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments I have not finished a book in forever! This discovery of witches book is good, but I don't realize it was so long.


message 1609: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments I finished Dream a Little Dream (Chicago Stars, #4) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips a few nights ago and I absolutely loved it! I think it just took over as my favourite SEP book... so long Kiss an Angel!

Sex, Lies, and Online Dating (Writer Friends, #1) by Rachel Gibson

Very cute. Looks like I'll be reading her stuff next.

Tya | 846 comments Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie I don't think I like her writing style. Even though the narrative is first person from Cassia's POV I don't feel like you really get to know her very well. Cassia has a very distant sounding voice which is weird. Whatever, after 300+ pages of her pov I feel like I should know her better than I do. I'm looking forward to the sequel though.
But at this point I think I liked
Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver
better.

I finished Dearly, Departed (Gone With the Respiration, #1) by Lia Habel which I liked a lot, you can't really go wrong with Zombies in my opinion. I'm really excited to see how a zombie love story is going to play out. There's a definite end date here (unlike with vampires) and her turning isn't an option.

I (Finally!) finished Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles, #3) by Kami Garcia I have no idea what took me so long with this book (it took like a month to read. I only read it during my breaks at work) I don't know why. I love this series and Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's writing is beautiful and it wasn't even a case of "not getting into the story" but in the end, I LOVED it. That ending...man oh man.

I don't know why, but author's writing style and word choices are bugging me lately.


message 1613: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I finished reading Young Warriors: Stories of Strength. I only skipped over on story. The rest of the stories were good in varying degree.

I finished reading First Grave on the Right. Didn't love the book. There were a great many flaws. However, the story was interesting enough that I would, possibly, read the next book in the series. I classifiy the book as definately Chick Lit with elements of paranormal.


message 1614: by Anne (new)

Anne Mikusinsi (abghostwriter) Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill and I liked it tons more than I thought I would, but mostly for the characters, and not the plot, which wasn't boring, but I've seen similar in vampire books before.
The characters and the way they are written made me want to continue to read the series.


message 1615: by Tya (new)

Tya | 846 comments ***SPOILERS***

I finished The Lawman by Patricia Potter a few days ago. It annoyed me so much that I actually did try and type out a response on my wii but it didnt go through :(. Ok, so, the book starts with him staring down at the dead body of his sister in law and him vowing to avenge her death by seeing everyone involved in her murder hanged. He becomes a marshall and spends a decade hunting and theres only one outlaw left. Of COURSE he falls in love/lust with the outlaws daughter and one look at her pretty....eyes...and he's rethinking a DECADE of research and leads? Suddenly, because she's such a pretty girl and so...friendly...there's just no way that this criminal whom he has spent 10 years searching for is guilty of killing his sister. Not that he hasn't killed before, he has. He's a wanted murderer but since the marshall is so in love with the daughter (after a whole entire week) the marshall helps them fake the outlaws death. And then sells him a piece of his land so they can all live happily ever after?

I need at least one likeable person in a book. There wasn't one here.

I'm just at the beginning of For the Roses (Rose, #1) by Julie Garwood and I've turned into sappy mush. It's just sweet. I don't know what'll happen, but so far it's about these little boys, most aren't even teens, that find a baby that's been abandoned and decide to raise it so she won't die. They've all been abandoned or had to run away due to circumstances and the little miscreants just close forces around her in hopes to give her a great life. I think the boys are going to be interesting to follow and I hope this stays good.


message 1617: by Heather (new)

Heather T (horrorvacui000) | 5931 comments Mod
Haha. I just found out it was turned into a Hallmark movie. I take it it's going to stay just a sweet then. =)


message 1618: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) Tya, you hit upon many of my story pet peeves in your review. 'The Lawman' doesn't sound like my kind of book. Thanks for the head-up.


message 1619: by Heather (new)

Heather T (horrorvacui000) | 5931 comments Mod
Okay, so I liked my book. They all made interesting adults and I really enjoyed the story. Even rated it 5 stars.


message 1620: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments That books sounds awesome Heather! I will have to check it out.

I finished Blood Warrior (The Alexa Montgomery Saga #1) by H.D. Gordon yesterday. I really enjoyed the story and I look forward to more from this up and coming author.


message 1621: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments I finished Lothaire (Immortals After Dark, #12) by Kresley Cole tonight! I loved and can't for more from this series. I've even heard that she is doing a spin-off from some characters in this book.

okay, I have heard nothing but gushing about this book. Its the next on my TBR pile


message 1623: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I finished The Space Between which I truly loved and Halfway to the Grave which I didn't truly love, but there were some aspects of the book that I liked. Not enough for my to read book two, though.

Jami (gurugoodwin) | 53 comments Has anyone read Sandman Slim yet? This series is awesome, funny and believe it or not, #2 put me on a diet for a couple of days. Kill the Dead

I'm currently on book #3Aloha from Hell


message 1625: by Brianna (new)

Brianna (briannask) | 35 comments Has anyone read Prized (Birthmarked, #2) by Caragh M. O'Brien by any chance? I read the first one, Birthmarked (Birthmarked, #1) by Caragh M. O'Brien a while back and I really enjoyed it. I'm wondering if it's worth buying, or if I should stay strong and wait for the library.

I'd never heard about it before.


message 1627: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 432 comments I just finished Birthmarked yesterday (and I like it, too!). Have you read Tortured? It's like #1.5 and could help you while you're waiting. It's free on amazon and you don't have to have a kindle.


message 1628: by Brianna (new)

Brianna (briannask) | 35 comments I haven't read that, but I have a Kindle so I definitely will, thanks! If you read the second one anytime soon let me know. :)


message 1629: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 432 comments Will do!


message 1630: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I didn't finish Dark Time, but I did put it in my 'Not-Going-To-Finish' pile. I didn't really care for the story and when one of the characters 'pleasured himself' I put the book down. That terminalogy is a bad sign that the writing is going to go downhill fast.


message 1631: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments I recently finished The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, #4) by James Patterson and I thought it was a lot of fun. I took a huge break inbetween this book and the first 3 from the series but I didn't enjoy any less.

I also just finished Paradox The Angels Are Here (Paradox, #1) by Patti Roberts . It was a really different book. Verdict is still out on this series. I'll have to read the next in the series to form a full opinion I think.


message 1632: by Tya (new)

Tya | 846 comments Not having a computer at home is killing me! Its up to my faulty memory to remember to come to this page and actually...rememmber what I've recently read. No bueno. But, I did finish recently After Obsession by Carrie Jones which I really loved alot. I want there to be a sequel but as far as I can tell thats not going to happen. Which makes me not a happy camper. I loved the story, the couple the fact that the guy was Native American and super interested in his past. Loved all of it.


message 1633: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I finished Blue Diablo and enjoyed the story. I could have done without the main character's constant whine, but I liked the other characters and think Corine's whine will diminish as her story continues.


message 1634: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments The whining is why I gave that one up Paula.


message 1635: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 432 comments I just finished A Million Suns (Across the Universe, #2) by Beth Revis , the second in the trilogy. Even though it wasn't as good as the first, I think it's worth continuing the series.

Paula (pauldajo) Darcy wrote: "The whining is why I gave that one up Paula."

The over use of whining and repeating the same whine time and time again is a perfect reason not to finish a book, Darcy. I may read the 2nd book, but not anytime soon. I don't really want to buy a book I may bail on, so maybe I'll go to the library and check it out. I've been intending to go to the library for years. Never been.


message 1637: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments If I had spent money on it I would have felt obligated to read it too. That is the nice thing about library books, you don't have to feel bad if you get duds.

Angela B I just finished Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah it was a very good book :) I enjoyed it and will probably move other Kristin Hannah books to the top of my list

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

It took me a bit to see why everyone loved it, but it got there.


message 1640: by Tya (new)

Tya | 846 comments Heather, Lola and the Boy Next Door reminded me of when I watched the movie Napoleon Dynamite for the first time. I didn't necessarily love it, and I didn't understand why other people were raving about it but I kept thinking about it. And thinking about it. And thinking about it. I didn't find Lola or Cricket (really? Cricket Graham Bell? And Calliope?) as easily and effortlessly charming as Etienne and Anna.


message 1641: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I finished reading Stone Maiden and really enjoyed the story. This is Ann Aguirre's debut book and I honestly like it more than many of her later books. I, of course, like Aguirre's later books, but 'Stone Maiden' was a surprise.

Squeeze Play (Richmond Rogues, #1) by Kate Angell
For such a cheesy cover, it was cute. Lots of sass.


message 1643: by Carrie (Care) (new)

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments I read The Shadow Reader (McKenzie Lewis #1) by Sandy Williams and loved it! I have been mostly re-reading books (WoT), so I don't have anything else to add.


message 1644: by Tya (new)

Tya | 846 comments I just finished Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier and while I liked it, a lot even, I thought the romance was rushed.


message 1645: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments I recently finished Fang (Maximum Ride, #6) by James Patterson , which was definitely my favourite of the series so far. I also finished Lady Sophia's Lover (Bow Street Runners, #2) by Lisa Kleypas which has one of the best Kleypas heroes yet!


message 1646: by SamBFN (new)

SamBFN | 88 comments I just finished Fate's Edge (The Edge, #3) by Ilona Andrews which was excellent. Not sure what to read next.

Lol! I picked the book up the day it came out and kept putting off reading it, then I would start and get distracted. Finally on Saturday I told myself to read it so I would stop feeling guilty that I hadn't read it yet. Once I started it I couldn't put it down.


message 1649: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments I recently finished To Seduce A Sinner (Legend of the Four Soldiers, #2) by Elizabeth Hoyt and Match Me If You Can (Chicago Stars, #6) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips . Elizabeth Hoyt is turning out to be a new favourite author of mine and SEP cannot write anything wrong in my eyes!


message 1650: by Heather (new)

Heather T (horrorvacui000) | 5931 comments Mod
SEP is great. I did come across one that irked me, but beside that one... I love her.
I'll have to try the Hoyt. I like her Maiden Ln books, but don't connect with the Prince one's enough to rate them very high. I love parts and hate others. Hopefully this one will hook me.
