I just read... And it was... Showing 201-250 of 1,956

[Paula]

I finished Proven Guilty last night and liked it. I think that Butcher is getting too verbose in some of his descriptions and explanations. That happens to many authors as their series' mature. Now a friend at work disagrees. He really likes detailed descriptions during the battle scenes. Me, not so much!

[Heather]

I still need to read a Butcher book. I've read a few short stories and I don't get into them. However, it's hard to do that when you don't understand the world and have the background information necessary to understand the relationships.

[Carrie (Care)]

I have read the first couple and I can't get too into them either. I hear they get better though, but I don't think I'll read another (for a while anyway).

I read and I liked it, but I didn't love it. I can see though how this first book will possibly lead to more interesting stories in later books.

[Heather]

Dark Legend - Christine Feehan

I want to bang my head on something. I loved the Drake Sisters, but I feel like the Carpathians books are the same stories over and over again. Maybe if there were more plot and less "take me now" moments I'd be happier, but I really don't see there being enough differences within the books to make me happy. I kind of feel like I'm reading Katie MacAlister's Dark Ones. There's just too much repetition for me to feel like I'm reading a different book.

Heather they do get a little better as the series goes as she introduces a larger story arc. So while there is the couple's story, it ends up not being the whole story.

[Jasmine]

I just read , and I have no idea what to feel about it, lol. It wasn't THAT good, but it wasn't bad either. I'd give it 2.5 stars overall.

my review- http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Heather]

Good to know Darcy. I figure I'll just space them out a lot more. I can't read the series one after the other like I normally do with everything else.

[Darcy]

I just finished . For me this was a great one, you got to see a lot of people in their world and there was the story of how Elena and Clay meet. The last story I think was great set up for Savannah's story later this year.

[Paula]

I finished listening to Three Bedrooms, One Corpse and didn't like the book. I was hoping Rue Teagarden would irritate me less as the series progressed, but no.

[Heather]

I've read the first two from Tales from the Underworld. I've been forcing myself not to read it all at one time since I love Armstrong. I liked to see Kristoff in the beginning. I can't wait to read the one on Elena. I'm glad they're good Darcy.

[Paula]

Heather, I went to amazon.com to check out Tales from the Otherworld and darn it, the book is on audiobook for around $15. I then saw that the Reckoning was on audiobook for around $13, darn it again! I bought both. I'm a weak, weak woman (who will be enjoying herself).

Paula those are GREAT prices for audio books, I probably would have broken down and bought them. I am still waiting for The Reckoning from the library. They have been slow on new releases lately.

[Paula]

Darcy, I'm happy to hear you say that the prices are good. I won't spend $20, but if it's 15 and under I will. Still shouldn't, but .....

[Carrie (Care)]

Those are great prices! I already have the first book on audio, but if I like it, I will probably get the rest.

[Heather]

I still need The Reckoning. I've been good about not buying it so far.

[Paula]

I finished listening to The Reckoning last night. I enjoyed the audiobook. I couldn't seem to turn the mp3 off until the end of the story. I'm really tired this morning! On to listening to Tales of the Otherworld!

[Heather]

I'm reading Tales of the Otherworld too. It's great.
I just finished the first 5 Lynsay Sands Argeneau books. They're fluffy, but adorable.

[Jasmine]

I really like the Argeneau books :). My favorite has to be , though a few of them (from those I have read) have been really fun to read.

[Darcy]

I just read , which was just awful. It seems like there is a book missing before this one and this is the 1st in the series.

I also finished , which I am not sure about. I did like it enough to read the second one.

[Jasmine]

oh dear, that sucks. =[

[Hannah]

I just read and I loved it, not what this group is into,but I have to have a break from vamps and other supernatural things from time to time.

I have that one loaded on my i-pod and listen to it when I don't walk with friends, am on disc 6 and have to agree with you that it is really good. The narrator does a great job.

[Carrie (Care)]

I finished and it was great! Much better than the first. The author doesn't go into explanations on what happened in the first book either, which was great. I didn't feel there were any slow parts, the story moved along at a pretty fast pace. I think fans of Night Huntress or Kate Daniels will like this series. I am shocked it's not more popular.

[Paula]

I finished reading The Lightning Thief. It wasn't bad. My biggest complaint was the universe. I just didn't like the descriptions of the underworld and how it functioned. I think that kids 12 and under would like the story and universe and there were elements in the book that I liked too.

[Darcy]

I just finished Twisted, which we have talked about here and it was really good. If you like cop/FBI thrillers check this one out.

I also just finished a couple of books by Annette Blair. If you are looking for some fun light PNR books check her out.

[Paula]

I finished reading The Sea of Monsters and I liked it. I felt sorry for the cyclops. There would be no bad cyclopses (cyclopsi?), if they were raise with love and direction!

[Carrie (Care)]

So I read (3rd in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles), and it was great! Had a good little twist at the end too.

Then today (I'm a bit sick so I had a lot of reading time :D) I read . It was brilliant, I loved every bit of it!!!

[Paula]

I finished reading The Titan's Curse and finished listening to Tales of the Otherworld. I liked them both.

I am glad to hear something good about The Body Finder, I have that as a challenge book this month and have been looking forward to it. I should get it from the library in a week or so.

[Heather]

Hannah, you don't have to stick to vamps here. It just seems to be what we pick. What was it about? While on my trip I read .
The only one's I'd recommend are Blond with a Wand and Bite Me If You Can and the last one is cheesy, but adorable.

[Jasmine]

I read recently, and I really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it!

[Darcy]

I just finished and if you are a fan of this series it will not disappoint!!

[Carrie (Care)]

Oh Darcy, how did you get it so soon?! I want it now too!!!!

[Darcy]

Someone on another group said that B&N was shipping it starting last Monday. I went and ordered mine right away. Some people are saying that the book is in stores now so you might want to check.

[Carrie (Care)]

Ooooooo I'll have to go check Chapters! If I ordered from B&N it would take forever to get here, so I'll just have to hope it's here early as well.

[Heather]

A lot of paperbacks have soft release dates and things get released as soon as they get to the store. Hardbacks are more strict. I can't wait to read it.

[Darcy]

For those that read the Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur, B&N has the new one for under $5.

[Heather]

I really enjoyed it. I felt like it was more realistic in the relationship area. No one's obnoxiously good with witty banter, it's not love or lust at first site, or any of those other common techniques. I like that the characters aren't quite sure how to go about things. It's more reminiscent of real life since we're all so terrified of being turned down that most of us are afraid to even ask.

[Darcy]

I just finished this one today and agree with you. It was really good.

[Heather]

I'm glad you loved it. And, it counts as something blue!

[Darcy]

For sure! I wonder what the next book in this series will look like.

[Heather]

I thought about that too. Right now I'm wishing I could get 365 books of Kate Daniels to keep me busy for the year. I'm loving it.

[Darcy]

I would even settle for 2 a year. lol

[Heather]

- Loved it. It was interesting and exciting. It freaks you out, makes you happy, makes you want to strangle someone, and all the other emotional targets that you want a book to hit. There are great lines in the book to keep you laughing and scenes I'll never forget. Kate's one heck of a character.

[Heather]

- Fun. If you liked the other one's you'll enjoy this one.
- i like this dirk & steel one more than the others for some reason. Although, I did like the Russian.

[Darcy]

I finished a couple that were really good this week.

, which if you like the BDB, it was a good one.

, which surprised me with how much I liked it. It isn't like this authors others books.

, a good first book, the series reminded me of early Anita Blake or Rachel Morgan.

[Angela]

Anita Blake and Rachel Morgan are like my favs so I now have another book on my TBR

[Heather]

Haha. I added it too, Angela.

[Heather]

- Great!
