Jill Hughey | 59 comments Reading The Conquest of Lady Cassandra (Fairbourne Quartet, #2) by Madeline Hunter . I've always loved Madeline Hunter, though her earlier stuff was much riskier in terms of plot and location. Still a great writer - almost halfway through!

I finished that not long ago and enjoyed it. It's better than some of her more recent ones. The ending is really surprising, more like in her earlier stories. I gave it 5 stars. she's a favorite of mine too.

Another favorite that I just finished reading was Ellen O'Connell's Beautiful Bad Man. Excellent. No cookie cutter plots from her! 5 stars.

Thanx Lisa, I guess I'll just put it on hold and wait.


message 1317: by Heather L (last edited Apr 04, 2013 11:36AM) (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Finished reading Twice Tempted. There were a few passages that had me literally laughing out loud, and the last paragraph made me want to scream. How dare she end on such a cliffhanger?! Argh!

And is it just me, or does anyone else ever wish they had Vlad's power to incinerate objects with their mind? I'd start with the stereo from hell next door...


message 1318: by Leslie (new)

Leslie (chibilee02) Lol Heather, you sound like me with certain books that end on a cliffhanger. But that's how I know I really enjoyed the book.

Going to start Howl's Moving Castle (Howl's Moving Castle, #1) by Diana Wynne Jones . Love the movie, so I should read the book. Usually I read the book first, but yea...lol


message 1319: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments LOL! You're into extra powers today, aren't you, Heather?

There's a movie?


message 1321: by Leslie (new)

Leslie (chibilee02) Yes. Hayao Miyazaki directed the animated film. There's both a Japanese and American version of the film. The American version has Christian Bale voicing Howl and Billy Crystal as Calcifer (and he's great in it!) I love the movie.


message 1322: by Christine (new)

Christine Feldman It's been a few years since I read Howl's Moving Castle, but I remember enjoying it quite a bit. The heroine was one I felt I could really root for. Hope you enjoy it! :)

I love all his movies. Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorites. I wasn't able to see his most recent one, but the last one I saw called Ponyo was another of my favs. Also can't forget about Spirited Away.

You're welcome Lisa. Hope you enjoy it! ^_^


message 1330: by Melissa (new)

Melissa We watch a lot of Ponyo at my house, I've not seen Howl's Moving Castle though.


message 1331: by Melissa (new)

Melissa I think I'm going to read Finding the Dream (Dream Trilogy #3) by Nora Roberts to finish out this trilogy.


message 1332: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 648 comments Never seen Ponyo (yet! But I want to. Arietty too...) but when I lived with my roommate years ago, she loved My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, and of course Spirited Away! I also like Princess Mononoke a lot, though it was darker in feel. I think that's all I've seen. :)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14527 comments reading Own the Wind


message 1334: by namericanwordcat (new)

namericanwordcat | 591 comments I have Own the Wind ready to start but I usually stay up all night to read her books so I am trying to wait until I have a lazy day to read it. She always worries me anyway. lol Can't always believe I like her books and with such young leads, I am biting my nails on this one.

:Last day of vacation, read Shotgun Grooms by Susan Mallery It was a fun light mail order bride and spinster paring.


message 1335: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Oh! I just bought that one, NAWC! LOL! You are bad on my pocketbook. I just love "mail-order bride" - or groom stories. LOL!


message 1336: by namericanwordcat (new)

namericanwordcat | 591 comments lol I got it from the library. Love the library kindle thing. I really like mail order bride books too. lol


message 1337: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Well, duh. I didn't think of checking the library first - and I usually do. Drat! Good reminder to me. LOL!


message 1338: by Christine (new)

Christine Feldman I have a soft spot for mail-order bride romances, too. There was one I read years ago that I thought was very sweet and touching: The Endearment by LaVyrle Spencer? Anybody else here read that? I always liked her book Morning Glory, too.


message 1339: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Oh, good. They don't have it. LOL! Now it is more justified...in my mind.


message 1340: by namericanwordcat (new)

namericanwordcat | 591 comments Yeah. I try to make myself check first but I don't always. I love Spencers books. I am not sure why I don't do more rereads of them but they are all on my keeper self.


message 1341: by Melissa (new)

Melissa I really like laVyrle Spencer but I havent' read The Endearment. I'll have to check and see if the library has it.

I've read all of LaVryle Spencer's books. Love them. A pity she has retired from writing. Hummingbird is my favourite.

Currently reading Soulless (Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger . Really liking the originiality and quirkness of the story and characters.
(And it fits the April Flash Challenge!)


message 1343: by Christine (new)

Christine Feldman Hummingbird...hmm. I'll have to look that one up.
