What else are you reading? (June 2010 - May 2013) *closed* Showing 2,901-2,950 of 13,523

[Jordan]

lol, June is confusing enough as it is. Let's not make it worse. But someone remember to post this up there next month!

[mc]

I started Three Wrong Turns in the Desert but just haven't had the time to really start a new book. Hopefully this weekend I can give it some real reading time.

Cheryl, I'm in the same boat. Just a crazy, unexpected week, and I've read nothing but the mail, and I'm ridiculously behind even in my emails. I'm hoping to get to Three Turns on Saturday, though I realize that means I'll probably miss most of the conversation (you all do it on Saturday, right?)

I read it, but my Saturday is filling up really fast. I think we just begin discussing it on Saturday but the discussion can go on for days.

[Jordan]

lol, I'm working Saturday and then doing an online chat in the middle of my day, I think, so I don't know how much I'll be able to add, but I'm sure the convo will go on for a few days at least. This is why I took notes on the few things I wanted to remember to mention.

If you read it, I want to know your honest opinion -- I think it's one of those books that has good points and bad points.

Sure will. After I manage to finish my reading piles, though. lol.

The conversation will go on for however long there's interest, so don't look at the thread till you've finished reading!

I don't know if any of you guys caught this post on Jessewave today, but check it out! JCP will write Psycop flash fic story based on your suggestions!!!

Still haven't read any of the PysCop series, though from what I hear here, I will love it. Still trying to be caught up for this weekend's conversation!

[Merith]

Started reading Dancing With The Tide last night, and am liking it very much. Feeling rather sorry for Aidan, though. It's hard feeling insecure and jealous, even if he doesn't really have a reason to distrust Liam.

Cool, I've heard somewhere else that it's really good. I'm putting it on my list.

This really is such a great book! It had me on an extreme emotional roller coaster though, so be prepared.

LA what are you reading next?

Oh wow! How fun.

Candice,

Thanks for the Prisoner (Megan Derr) rec -- I finally did get hold of it and was able to read it while on the road and really loved it. It turned out to be the prequel to Bound (or rather, Bound is the sequel to Prisoner, although occurring generations later).

Terrific writing from Derr as usual, lovely story, exciting plot and original world building. I think reading them in reverse order actually helped me enjoy the first book more.

Arggh, over 600 posts in this forum across all threads since I was last online and no time to wade through the backlog...

[Anne]

Welcome back, ns! Happy catching up. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[mc]

ns, I know what you mean! There are entire threads that I am now afraid to venture into, because it is impossible for me to catch up.

[Yvonne]

I already bought this book because I'd heard it was good. Now I just have to find the time to sit back & read it. I'm doing mainly audio books right now so I can get stuff done.

[ns]

I recommend all of you switch to decaf RIGHT NOW.

You're breaking my Internet. I'm actually still on the road in the middle of nowhere. Thank god for USB Broadband keys. It's 38C in my car right now.

mc, we ought to schedule a working "reading" session of this forum :)

[mc]

I'm in, ns!

Maybe we can divide up the duties :)

And 38C? Where the hell (as it were) are you?

Hey, it's after 6 here on the East Coast. The world hasn't ended?

Rural India, at the moment. Local time is 4:00am. It feels like the world ended a week ago.

[mc]

Good Lord. I will never complain about the weather again.

And you need sleep, my dear. We'll divvy up the threads and make a tactical attack plan later :)

[ns]

:)

I'll be back online in a few days..adios (and pace yourselves!)

[mc]

Buying note!

I just noticed several used copies of the complete Brandsetter mysteries on Amazon. Given how much Josh and some of you have raved about this author, I just placed my order. There are several left at what I consider a relatively good price.

Hope this is of value.

"At bar. We've been beamed up. Apparently sone aren't do virtous."

Yeah, apparently getting into heaven isn't contigent upon spelling.

Ugh! They don't ship to my country >.<

[mc]

Suhi, keep checking back - sometimes they have UK sellers. The last time I had checked, all the used books were at ridiculous(ly expensive) prices, and just yesterday, all these new ones popped up.

Yes, I've checked on the UK site too. There wasn't "The Complete Brandstetter", but there were a few separate books (used) very cheap, but still the total price including shipping was impossible.
I'll keep checking, thank you! <3

[Josh]

The romance is very low-key in the Brandstetter books, but if you love mysteries, his are beautifully written. Classic PI stuff. Both in structure and style.

[[deleted user]]

Well the world didn't end, and I figured here in Ethiopia we'd be the first to go, what with all the famine and locusts plagues that are daily occurrences here...

but what did happen this weekend for me was some awesome reading...read that great novel I shared about yesterday and today I've spent the day with S.J Frost's rockstars :O) Just finished and immediately starting

[Merith]

Today I'm working my way through Kaje Harper's Life Lessons. This is a pretty neat murder mystery (so far, anyway).

[Anne]

In honor of the continued existence of the world, I think I might read When Prophecy Fails.

I can't have them *sniffles* Oh well, I still can read Nicole Kimberling, Donald Strachey, and of course, Partners in Crime.

Cleon, if you don't mind very little romance and like historical fiction, check "Lord John Grey" series by Diana Gabaldon ;)

[Cleon Lee]

Suhi wrote: "Cleon, if you don't mind very little romance and like historical fiction, check "Lord John Grey" series by Diana Gabaldon ;)"

I don't enjoy historical fiction that is set after Middle Ages, especially during World War I or II. It's just personal preference that I can't explain why. I don't even enjoy Regency romance, even though it seems to be the most popular sub-genre for romance.

the Lord John books are great...

Lauraadriana wrote: "Suhi wrote: "the Lord John books are great..."
They ARE :) Seriously...

[Becky]

I'm weird about my settings. In m/f I like Regency quite a bit, but I find a lot of contemporary stuff awkward or ridiculous. In m/m I love contemporary and have little interest in reading historical. I have several paranormal series with m/f romantic elements that I love, but I don't have much interest in paranormal m/m.

Maybe it has something to do with really starting out with Josh's books. I'm looking for that same-but-different reading experience, and at some point I'll branch out into other sub-genres. But for me right now it's pretty much all contemporary, all the time.

[Anne]

I feel exactly the same way. I always figured it had something to do with what floats my boat. I have different expectations for what makes a romance good when it's m/m than when it's m/f.

[Emanuela ~plastic duck~]

I'm reading a historical with (probably) paranormal elements Lover's Knot. I have some The Turn of the Screw feelings. I am liking it.
