I think that all my friends IRL read Oprah books and modern day literature. I always feel a little sheepish and far less cerebral when we talk books. One might be reading "Olive Kitteridge" and I pull out "Faefever" or "Twice Bitten". I love their reaction!

Angie (angie_c) | 4 comments I just finish Twice Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #3) by Chloe Neill and love it. I'm not sure what to read next, I need a new series. I'm waiting for Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, #2) by Jeaniene Frost in the mean time.

Now I'm reading Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) by Richelle Mead good so far. I'm also reading Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5) by Richelle Mead . So many books to read so little time...

Liz (lizv) | 1 comments Just joined this group - thanks for the invite. I am currently reading To Tame a Highland Warrior (have read the first book and loved it). Have the rest of the series and looking forward to reading them too. Have not read the Fever series but I will eventually (I have a lot of books on my TBR pile!!) :)

Gaynell (gaynellk) | 42 comments Oh, you'll love all of KMM's Highlander books. I even got my sister-in-law reading the first one. I couldn't get her to read Kresley Cole's A Hunger Like No Other (I loved it). She said it wasn't for her.

I ordered the first eight of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I've read the first two. I'm liking the series. At first, I didn't know if I would, but Sookie grows on you!

I'm not sure why I put off reading this book for so long- it has everything I love in a PR/UF book: a strong female protagonist, a sexy alpha-male who's not always nice (think Bones), the "friends/warriors" who each have a strong personality (more seen in book 2), an exciting & somewhat unique plot AND steamy scenes to boot. Try it!

message 77: by [deleted user] (new)

Almost done with City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare . I loved this series!


message 78: by [deleted user] (new)

I think Jace is the main reason I love it so much but the twists and turns in the story kept me riveted. I'm so excited to finish the book to see what happens but I'm going to miss Clary, Jace, Simon, Alec and Isabelle. :(

definitely a young adult favorite. it was soooo funny too. i cant wait to read her other series, the infernAL devices, clockwork angel.


message 81: by ☻Nikki☻ (new)

☻Nikki☻ (nikkic1998) Checked out 10 books at the library this week and I'm trying to get through them. I must have really been on a Young Adult kick because they are mostly YA books.

So far I've already finished:

* Fallen by Lauren Kate (I read some not so good reviews but I thought it was a decent read)
* Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison (definitely more teen geared but was a quick read)
* Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) - Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (really liking this series)


Trying to read

* Beautiful Creatures by Cami Garcia (this book is too long and drawn out. I feel like I've been reading it for days and I'm only halfway through. I plan on finishing it but I doubt I'll continue with the series unless something drastic changes)


Still to read
Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare (read 1st book a few months ago and the rest were always checked out. Really enjoyed the 1st so hope I like the rest.)

* City of Ashes
* City of Glass
* Clockwork Angel


Chicagoland Vampire Series by Chloe Neill (been waiting forever to get this. They had to send to another library to get it for me. Really hope I enjoy it)

* Some Girls Bite
* Friday Night Bites


Darkest Powers series by Kelley Armstrong

* The Reckoning (book 3) - first two were ok. Still want to finish the series though.

I guess I'll have a busy couple weeks :)

Teresa (tsmilo) | 8 comments I'm reading Harmony's Way (Breeds, #8)  by Lora Leigh It's very sexy and erotic but manages to tell a good story about hybrid humans


message 84: by Gaynell (new)

Gaynell (gaynellk) | 42 comments I'm reading Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews. I'm really liking it. It is entirely different from the Kate Daniels series (which is my second favorite after the Fever series).


message 85: by RoseMari (new)

RoseMari | 7 comments I finally got around to reading KMM's Beyond the Highland Mist. I loved the first Highlander book, and I'll be going to get To Tame a Highland Warrior as soon as possible!


message 86: by [deleted user] (new)

Does anyone have any suggestions on good fae books? After this one and Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series, I'm in the mood for even more fae! :)


message 87: by [deleted user] (new)

No, I haven't. Don't think I've heard about it, I'll have to check it out! Thanks :)


message 88: by RoseMari (new)

RoseMari | 7 comments Rebecca, I wasn't a fan of the Wicked Lovely series, but if you like YA books, then I'd suggest Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey Series. Quick, fun, and interesting read!

message 90: by [deleted user] (last edited Dec 16, 2010 11:12AM) (new)

I can read YA, but I mostly prefer adult. Sometimes YA succeeds though! I'll check that one out too, RoseMari. Thank you!

message 95: by A. (new)

A. Hall (tenover10) | 9 comments I just finished High Voltage and A Strange Hymn and loved them both(5 stars). Fever wrapped up nicely. Love Dani, love Ryo, and Moning can have me for the rest of my life. Loving the complexity and romance of the Bargainer, Thalassa is quickly becoming a fave.

Currently reading The Emperor of Evening Stars (The Bargainer, #2.5) by Laura Thalassa , the Bargainer series prequel. I dislike the break from the main series but I'm following the order the books go in. I am not opposed at all to learning more about Desmond Flynn. I'm hoping, he's one of those characters, like Barrons, where learning more about him doesn't destroy the allure of his mystery and personality.

Also at the same time, starting a new series, making the most of my KU trial, Priceless (Rylee Adamson #1) by Shannon Mayer . It is...intriguing, so far. It hasn't lost me from the quality of the writing and the main character definitely seems like someone I can enjoy long term(the FBI agent gets his own POV chapter; is he the love interest?).

But....it has the flaw of starting us right in the middle of everything. I don't know...there's something about the way it all is framed and flows that makes it feel like less of an introduction and more like the catch up summary in the beginning of books in a series already in full swing. I'm getting it, at least but the referrals and emotional beats make me feel like I'm missing something, if that makes sense.
