What are you reading? (Part 2)
@Theresa: ha, did you know Meljean actually suggests people new to the Guardians world start at book #3? So I could have skipped this piece of pain and had an extra ten hours or so of my life back.
@Darcy: yeah steampunk isn't always for me, either. But the world-building in TID is kind of amazing, and she pairs it with some truly atrocious alpha-male stuff that helps take the edge off.

I've been on a JR Ward kick... Finished these over the past few days....
Loved them all, but Lover Mine was probably my least favorite....
I just finished
and i'm about to start to read the next book
. I had read
and decided before i read volume 2
which is another 3 books put in 1 book i decided to break it up by reading Matter of the blood. i found that book to be very interesting to me i am going straight to book 2 blood bargain instead of reading volume 2 of the vampire files.
I've started
to feed my Stacia Kane addiction. Very early in, but so far it's pretty good.

I'm surprised how quickly I've gone thru them. O.o Only one more and I will be too.
Finished Just Another Judgement Day by Simon R. Green. Gotta love that guy! I never get tired of his stories. This one was a bit of an improvement over the last two or so, though I love them all. About to start No Domninion by Charlie Huston, book 2 in the Joe Pitt series. I'm still 'reading' about 8 other books, but came to a lull or disappointed in the story. I will, eventually get back to them.
I just finished
.Am now reading

Yesterday I read a lot. I finished:

Now I'm reading

Reading Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews.
I just finished
, it was good, then I am moving on to
After the fun Unfallen Dead, I read the truly delightful, surprising, funny ARC
. Now I'm reading
which is UF about a werepanther and weredragon (and lots more type of werefolk as well, I think) in Goldsport, (near Denver?) CO.
This morning I picked up River Marked which is book 6 in the Mercy Thompson series. I really like this series so I'm expecting good things. Hopefully will finish this tonight.
Hope you enjoy it Barbara. Loved that book!
I'm reading
So far, I am liking this one the most of the series.
Fighting with Moon Called by Patricia Briggs and as for now it's a difficult fight. I just can't enjoy it even though many people recommended it to me
I won a free cope of
from here on Gooodreads- So far it's not bad
Sort of rushing through
so that I can get to
I just finished
. I was preparing for
I thought i was going to get it May 1 on my Kindle but its not being released until May 12 so now i am just looking for to-reads.

Hallowland was really good !!!!!! I cant wait for hallowmen by Amanda Hocking
I'm reading a YA book
only about 70 pages in but so far it has been interesting.
I finished The Taste of Night which I didn't care for and The Touch of Twilight which I liked a lot better than 'The Taste of Night'. I have started City of Souls. The story started out well and the ending was good, now I need to read the middle of the story.
Currently reading and enjoying
.In the mail yesterday came
and
. At the library I got
,
,
,
, which is really a dvd. (I'm rereading Flight and the rest of the Alexie for a library book club...) And I've got a bucketload of challenge books I also need to finish.
Just read
the 2nd book in the Myth and Magic series by Keri Arthur. It was a decent book, not as gritty as the Riley Jensen series, but a good bit of action. It is the 2nd in a series but based on another dragon, so you don't have to read them in order. I also just finished
. It is the 3rd in the Outcast series by Rachel Caine. This is definitely a series you need to read in order and to be honest, you really need to read the Weather Warden series first since this one is a spin-off and refers back to the original. I have to admit I am not as fond of this one as the original. Again it is not as gritty and nowhere near the action. But a good read anyway.I am starting
Gave up on
. After just a couple of chapters I was so over the bickering between the siblings and the ridiculous way that Riordan writes dialogue among teens. Instead I am starting
in the hopes of a better read.
Elizabeth wrote: I was so over the bickering between the siblings and the ridiculous way that Riordan writes dialogue among teens.Thanks for the heads up, Elizabeth! I couldn't stand hundreds of pages of nonstop whining in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'll happily avoid Riordan.

I have finished it on Saturday and needless to say yup I cried like everyone else. But look forward to the next book. Drink Deep
I have since then read

I struggled to finish that book when I read it... After finishing it, I swore I wo..."
I have stood by that sworn oath! Every once in awhile I think that I might like to read Colin's story - especially when I see GR friend's reviews of the books - but I haven't buckled under the pressure yet.
It helps that I have so many other books on my TBR shelf! :)
